Alienware expands its gaming monitor lineup in Ireland

Alienware has today announced the availability of a new 27-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor in Ireland, marking a move to bring high-end display technology to a broader range of users at a lower price point.

This launch forms part of Alienware’s broader strategy to bring premium gaming performance to a wider audience, with the AW2726DM representing a further step in that direction.

The new monitor (AW2726DM) is priced at €419.00, representing the brand’s most accessible entry into QD-OLED monitors to date, a category typically associated with premium pricing. The launch reflects a wider trend in the gaming hardware market, where advanced display technologies are gradually becoming more attainable for mainstream consumers.

Designed to deliver an immersive visual experience, the QD-OLED panel offers DCI-P3 99% colour coverage and an infinite contrast ratio, enabling lifelike colours and deep black hues across a range of content – from richly detailed virtual environments to fast-paced competitive gameplay.

The new monitor features a 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time, supporting smoother gameplay and responsiveness, while compatibility with FreeSync Premium and VESA AdaptiveSync aims to ensure stability across different systems.

Beyond performance, the device also incorporates ergonomic design features and is positioned as suitable for both gaming and day-to-day general use. Its QD-OLED panel is designed to deliver improved colour accuracy and contrast compared to traditional LCD displays.

Alienware is also offering a three-year warranty, including OLED burn-in cover, which may address durability concerns sometimes associated with OLED technology. The product is now available nationwide.

EIZO Releases Eco-Conscious 27-inch Monitor with USB Type-C

EIZO Corporation today announced the release of the FlexScan EV2720S – a 27-inch, WQHD (2560 x 1440) resolution monitor equipped with USB Type-C® connectivity for streamlined hot desking and remote office work. It is the successor model to the FlexScan EV2781, offering enhanced energy efficiency and compliance with the latest global environmental standards.

With sustainability gaining more significance in the modern landscape, organizations are urged to make well-informed decisions when procuring new technology. The EV2720S consumes just 14 watts of power, representing a 22% reduction from the previous model. This substantial decrease helps users to lower energy costs and contributes to a smaller carbon footprint, supporting sustainability efforts.

Compared to its predecessor, the EV2720S features an improved contrast ratio of 1500:1, up from 1000:1, for crisp and clear display. The monitor offers a resolution of 2560 x 1440 across a spacious 27-inch screen, providing 1.8 times more screen space than conventional Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels). This expanded workspace allows users to comfortably display multiple windows simultaneously, reducing the need for frequent switching and scrolling.

As modern workstyles continue to diversify, the need for versatile and adaptable technology becomes increasingly important. The EV2720S features USB Type-C connectivity that allows users to connect their laptop with a single, multi-purpose cable. This convenient connection not only transmits video signals, but also provides access to the monitor’s four-port USB hub for peripherals and supplies up to 70 watts of power to charge a device. This makes it faster and easier to connect when moving between workstations or when working remotely, supporting efficiency and productivity no matter the environment.

Contributing to a more sustainable future remains an important goal for both businesses and consumers who are looking to manufacturers to carry out environmentally conscious initiatives. The EV2720S is certified by comprehensive global sustainability standards, including TCO Certified, generation 10 and the ENERGY STAR® label. It has also achieved the highest tier of EPEAT Gold and the EPEAT Climate+ designation, further highlighting EIZO’s commitment to sustainability. ¹

The majority of the monitor’s housing is made from recycled plastic, promoting the reduction of plastic waste, conservation of resources, and reuse of materials. Its packaging and cushioning are also made from recycled materials to minimize environmental impact. 

EIZO offers corporate customers a collective packaging option to support their sustainability goals. Four monitors are packaged in a single box, while the stands are packaged separately or can be excluded upon request. This approach minimizes waste, improves loading efficiency during shipping, and streamlines unpacking and installation time.
