Gaming monitors have always been a popular device sought after by gamers, and it directly affects the picture quality and smoothness of the gaming experience. In recent years, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display technology has become the preferred panel for high-end displays due to its excellent contrast, true blacks, and wide color gamut. Samsung's latest QD-OLED (quantum dot OLED panel), which combines the advantages of OLED with quantum dot technology to further improve color expression and brightness levels, is regarded as the next generation of display technology.
Alien new product release
As a well-known brand in the field of gaming hardware, Alienware has recently launched two gaming monitors with Samsung's QD-OLED panels, namely a 32-inch 4K curved monitor AW3225QF and a 27-inch 2K flat panel display AW2725DF. These two new products will bring players an unprecedented visual experience of the game.
AW3225QF 4K曲面显示器
AW3225QF is a 32-inch 4K (3840x2160 curved QD-OLED display with a 1800R curvature design, which can create a more immersive visual environment for gamers. With a refresh rate of up to 240Hz and a response time of just 0.03ms, it delivers smooth, fast-paced gaming without motion blur and tearing.
In terms of color performance, the AW3225QF's color gamut covers 99% of DCI-P3, which is wider than the sRGB color gamut of ordinary monitors, which can restore richer color details in games. It has a peak brightness of up to 1000 nits, maintaining excellent contrast and clarity even in bright environments.
AW3225QF supports HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 interfaces, you can get 4K high-resolution sources from game consoles, PCs, and other devices. It's also VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified, ensuring true blacks and high dynamic range in HDR mode.
AW2725DF 2K平面显示器
If you prefer a flat-panel monitor, AW2725DF would be a good choice. It uses a 27-inch 2K (2560x1440QD-OLED panel, which has a slightly lower resolution than 4K but still has a very high pixel density, which can present fine and delicate details.
Amazingly, the AW2725DF has a refresh rate of up to 360Hz and a response time of just 0.03ms, surpassing even most high-end IPS/TN panels at this level. For players, this means smoother, clearer graphics, especially in fast-paced shooters.
Similar to the AW3225QF, the AW2725DF color gamut covers 99.3% of the DCI-P3 and has a peak brightness of 1000 nits. It also supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync tearstop technology to ensure smooth and natural gameplay in all angles.
Samsung QD-OLED panel advantages
The core selling point of these two new products of Alien is the use of Samsung's latest QD-OLED panel. Compared with traditional OLEDs, QD-OLED has greatly improved color expression and brightness levels while retaining the advantages of self-illumination, true black, and infinite contrast.
QD-OLED panels add quantum dot color filters on the basis of OLED, and can present a purer and wider color gamut by taking advantage of the narrow emission peak characteristics of quantum dot materials. According to Samsung, QD-OLED's color gamut coverage is up to 120% DCI-P3, which is about 30% higher than ordinary OLED panels.
The peak brightness of QD-OLED panels has also been greatly improved, which can reach a high level of 1000-1500 nits. This not only ensures that HDR content performs well in bright scenes, but also allows the QD-OLED panel to have a higher brightness reserve during normal use, resulting in better contrast and clarity.
The QD-OLED panel retains the OLED self-luminous characteristics while increasing the brightness, and can precisely control the brightness of each pixel to present absolute black point and infinite dynamic contrast. This is something that cannot be achieved with traditional LCD panels.
Other features and warranty policies
In addition to the excellent panel specs, these two new additions to Alien also offer some other noteworthy features.
They both support AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync anti-tearing technology, which effectively eliminates screen tearing and lag for a smooth, synchronized gaming experience.
Alien has provided a 3-year screen burn-in warranty for these two displays, which is enough to eliminate consumers' concerns about OLED panel burn-in issues.
The AW3225QF and AW2725DF are designed with ergonomic stands, which can adjust the height, tilt angle and rotation angle of the monitor according to the usage habits to improve the comfort of long-term use.
The two monitors are expected to go on sale in January 2024, and although the price has not yet been announced, it can be expected to be positioned in the high-end market.
Alien's latest QD-OLED gaming monitors, AW3225QF and AW2725DF, will bring gamers an unprecedented visual experience.
They use Samsung's latest QD-OLED panels, which not only have the advantages of OLED's typical self-illumination, true blacks, and infinite contrast, but also have greatly improved color expression and brightness levels, with a color gamut covering more than 99% of DCI-P3 and a peak brightness of up to 1000 nits.
Both displays also excel in key specifications such as resolution, refresh rate, and response time. The AW3225QF is a 32-inch 4K curved screen with a refresh rate of 240Hz, and the AW2725DF is a 27-inch 2K flat screen with a refresh rate of up to 360Hz. Both have a response time of only 0.03ms, which allows for a smooth and fast-paced gaming game.
In addition to their excellent panels and specs, they also support AMD FreeSync/NVIDIA G-Sync anti-rip technology, come with a 3-year screen burn-in warranty, and feature an ergonomic stand design to ensure comfort for long periods of use.
The two new QD-OLED gaming monitors launched by Alien will bring gamers an excellent gaming visual experience, fully demonstrating the strong strength of QD-OLED as a next-generation display technology. For gamers looking for the ultimate gaming experience, they are definitely something to look forward to.
