Alienware announced two new gaming monitors, the Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor and the Alienware 34 Gaming Monitor. Both monitors focus on fast gameplay and come in a "lunar light" white color. The Alienware 27 has a 240Hz refresh rate and is a flat monitor aimed at gamers looking for the quickest display possible. The Alienware 34 has a curved display which increases immersion while still having a 120Hz refresh rate.
The Alienware 27 is a 27-inch anti-glare IPS monitor. Its flagship features are related to speed. Its 240Hz refresh rate has only a 4.16ms gap between frames, half of a standard 120Hz display (8.3ms) and the display has a 1ms response time when used with overdrive in Extreme mode. It utilizes AMD Radeon FreeSync technology to synchronize a PC's GPU and monitor while also reducing tearing and artifacting.
The Alienware 27 covers 99 percent of sRGB, which helps games look as developers intended. The monitor supports a quick-release VESA mount and has a cable management chamber hidden inside the stand. The back of the monitor has a wide range of ports including two HDMI ports, a display port, and audio line-out port, a USB Upstream port, a headphone jack, three USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, and an additional USB 3.1 Gen 1 port with power charging.
The Alienware 34 is also an IPS monitor but features a 1900R curved 34-inch display. It has a 21:9 aspect ratio with a resolution of 3440x1440. It has a 120Hz refresh rate with NVIDIA G-SYNC for smooth gameplay. It has 98 percent DCI-P3 color coverage which Alienware states equates to around 134.5 percent sRGB.
Like its smaller sibling, the Alienware 34 features a quick-release VESA mount and a hidden cable management chamber. The Alienware 34 has an audio line-out port, one HDM-in port, a DisplayPort, a USB Upstream port, three USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, an additional USB 3.1 Gen 1 port with power charging, a headphone jack, and a downlight and touch sensor.
Alienware highlights that both monitors have wide viewing angles thanks to them being IPS displays. Each monitor also features an on-screen display, including an FPS counter, timer, and display alignment features.
The Alienware 27 will be available on September 17, 2019 and costs $599.99. The Alienware 34 will be available on August 28, 2019 and costs $1,499.99.
