Alienware Unveils New 240Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitors, Including Affordable Models Starting at $250
Alienware has revealed its new Alienware 34 Ultra-Wide QD-OLED Monitor designed for gamers. This monitor features a 240Hz refresh rate, making it an excellent choice for players who value both speed and visual quality.
Along with this new QD-OLED model, Alienware has introduced several affordable LCD gaming monitors, including a 25-inch 320Hz monitor priced at just $250. Other QD-OLED models have also been announced.
2024 might be remembered as the year OLED truly became popular, but 2025 could be the year when more gamers can afford these stunning screens. Alienware aims to lower the price of their QD-OLED panels, with the AW2725D 27-inch QHD monitor expected to be priced at just $549 when released.
Alienware will continue to offer a three-year burn-in warranty on its QD-OLED panels. If burn-in happens, the company will send a new monitor before requiring the return of the old one.

The Alienware 34 Ultra-Wide QD-OLED Monitor (AW3425DW) offers enhanced connectivity with HDMI 2.1 FRL and supports G-SYNC, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and VESA AdaptiveSync. It also features a WQHD resolution of 3440 x 1440 and a 1800R curve, providing a 21:9 gaming experience. Although it’s not as sharp as 4K, it’s still a significant upgrade over 1080p. This model is available for $800.

Alienware also unveiled four new LCD monitors, including 34-inch and 32-inch VA curved models with 180Hz refresh rates, priced at $400 and $320. These will be available starting March 6.
