New monitors are coming from Dell and Alienware

Thanks to Gamescom 2019 happening this week, have have a lot of news, but very few items of hardware, until Dell and Alienware stepped up and now we have a lot. This time we are looking at their newly announced monitors, of which there are four. Right now there is no release date or price for these locally, but they tend to only announce a few months before release, so I say expect them by the end of the year.

The Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor (AW2720HF) is all about speed with the new fast IPS technology, a blazing 240Hz refresh rate and true 1ms response time (gray-to-gray) in Extreme mode with AMD Radeon FreeSyncTM technology. Native FHD resolution provides for sharper images for games running at 1080p while IPS delivers wide-viewing angle and 99% sRGB coverage. The monitor comes with AlienFX lighting, adjustable stand and gaming-centric OSD.

Next up is the Alienware 34 Curved Gaming Monitor (AW3420DW) pulls gamers right into the gaming action with an immersive 1900R curved, wide 21:9 WQHD-resolution monitor. Alienware’s first 34-inch WQHD 120Hz curved gaming monitor with fast IPS response time and IPS Nano Colour technology that provides 98% DCI-P3 colour coverage, along with a 120Hz (native) refresh rate and NVIDIA G-SYNC® display technology that offers smooth and realistic images. Both speed and high-quality imagery are made possible by the new IPS technology that allows for the fast response time while still delivering on the well-known benefits of IPS: high colour accuracy and wide-angle viewing. The monitor also features AlienFX lighting with four customisable zones, gaming-centric on-screen-display and height-adjustable stand allowing elegant cable management.

If you want a big screen, then you need the Alienware 55 OLED Gaming Monitor (AW5520QF) as it brings the world a true gaming spectacle, a vision-filling screen with stunning image quality for which OLED is known. Featuring the Alienware’s new Legend industrial design, the Alienware 55 OLED Gaming Monitor offers a 120Hz variable refresh rate, response time of 0.5ms (gray-to-gray), and low input latency so images get to the screen much faster allowing a gamer’s reactions to be quicker, more accurate and ahead of the competition. Incredible colour accuracy and depth with 98.5% DCI-P3 colour coverage lets gamers experience the colours as it was designed.

The sharp 4k UHD resolution allows for either sitting up close for intense gaming, or farther away with a gamepad, for a more casual experience. AMD Radeon FreeSync™ technology minimises graphic distortions such as tearing, stuttering and artifacts for smooth and steady imagery. Customise the gaming experience with AlienFX lighting, gaming-centric on-screen display (OSD) and a remote control whether having the monitor placed on the gaming desk or mounted on the wall, thanks to the included VESA mount adapter. Built-in speakers are tuned with Waves MaxxAudio® for audio accuracy and clarity.

Finally, out of the gaming space into a more general use panel is the Dell 32 Curved Gaming Monitor (S3220DGF) a curved 1800R screen which enhances field-of-vision and provides a wrap-around perspective for a truly immersive gaming and movie experience. Gamers can experience up to 165Hz refresh rates4 for astonishingly fast gameplay and see up to 77% more on-screen game content with QHD resolution compared to FHD. They can also enjoy smooth, low-latency high dynamic range gaming with AMD Radeon FreeSyncTM 2 HDR technology5 and conquer with clarity as lifelike visuals and vivid colours comes standard with VESA DisplayHDRTM 400 and more than 90% DCI-P3 colour coverage.

As I said, currently no price or date on them, but expect them by the end of the year for sure.
