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.

The launch includes a customisable keyboard, two new gaming headsets and a wireless gaming mouse.

Two new headsets with easy controls & crisp Dolby Atmos audio

For marathon gaming sessions, the 2.4GHz wireless dongle connection offers up to 140 hours of battery life on a PC, and if you’re in a pinch, quickly recharge for just five minutes to get up to 10 hours of continuous gameplay.

Dell unveils new Alienware releases at CES 2023

Alienware and Dell revealed at CES 2023 six new gaming laptops, along with the world’s fastest refresh rate of 500Hzi on a Fast IPS Gaming Monitor and the evolved Aurora R15 gaming desktop with AMD technology.

Alienware’s new 18-inch performance juggernaut

Alienware M Series is designed for gamers who prioritize performance. Rising to that challenge are the all-new Alienware m18 and Alienware m16 powerhouses.

Alienware’s most powerful laptop, the m18ii, is in a performance class of its own, with customization options that span the gamut of new CPU and GPU technology. This includes up-to 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13980HX processors and the full stack of next-gen NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ Laptop GPUs, plus soon-to-be-announced next-gen AMD Ryzen™ Processors and Radeon™ Graphics for mobile. All this performance is enabled by a suite of major Alienware Cryo-tech™ advancements.

These significant improvements to platform thermal capacity (~35% using Full Speed modevii) and cooling pave the way for higher-performance CPUs and GPUs, allowing us to push the total system power to 250Wviii.

Introducing the most luxurious Alienware yet, the first-ever x16

X Series laptops are designed for gamers who expect their Alienware laptop to compliment every aspect of their lifestyle, including beyond gaming. X Series serves as Dell’s innovation portal, bringing many technology breakthroughs in addition to elevating premium materials, finishes and features to the forefront of the product experience.

The new Alienware x16 is the first 16” gaming laptop since 2004 and Dell’s most premium Alienware product yet. Promising more performance, a taller 16:10 display and an improved six-speaker design, the new x16 bests our current x17 in almost every way and does so in a sleeker and more robust full-metal chassis.

Built with top-firing tweeters for clarity and a dual woofer configuration for strong bass, x16 creates a spatial audio experience with its 6-speaker audio. With Dolby Atmos, users will experience rich, layered sound that reveals depth, clarity, and details like never before.

Dell continues to offer per-key RGB keyboard lighting with optional CHERRY MX mechanical keys to complete our most dynamic and customizable lighting experience to date, all controllable via Alienware Command Center.

G Series unveils stylish new design with G16 and G15

Taking a bold new design approach, the G15 and G16 are available in eye-catching colorways, with retro pops of orange and blue set against premium metallics, that are sure to be coveted by those with an appreciation for ‘80s pop aesthetics. Both feature the G-mode key, exclusive gaming function macro keys, and toggle audio keys to enhance the player experience. G15 offers one-zone and four-zone RGB keyboard options with numpad, while G16 offers one-zone RGB and Cherry MX keyboard options.

Looking under the hood, G15 and G16 supports graphic-intensive games with ease and consistency, even in marathon sessions, powered by the latest Intel, AMD and NVIDIA technology to help users get lost in their favourite games. And for the first time, G Series receives Alienware inspired Vapor Chamber Cooling and Element 31 thermal interface.

Commenting on the new gaming laptops, Ryan Gu, Alienware Product Director, said: “As what defines preeminent gaming experiences constantly evolves, Alienware and Dell continue to set itself apart with meaningful high-impact innovation that meets the changing needs of gamers. Whether you’re a competitive or hobby gamer, if freedom without compromise is what you value most, look no further than our intrepid new fleet of high-performance laptops.”

Gu also spoke about the design framework behind the releases: “In 2019, we made a bold move to undergo a complete portfolio redesign to distinguish Alienware’s brand identity from the industry. At the time, the landscape was swarmed by red and black machines. It was at that time we chose to charter a new course for Alienware and retire the iconic space-age identity of our Epic design language.

The journey began with our design team sifting through endless scores of Sci-fi lore and artwork across a variety of mediums (comic books, games, illustrations, and film). The goal was to project the iconic AW design 30 years into the future. This led us to our current design framework, known as Legend.

Now entering its third evolutionary stage, Legend 3 debuts today on all four new Alienware laptops. With a keen focus on form, function and quality, the latest machines bring forward intuitive design features that reinforce interactivity and convenience—all while enabling higher performing technology.”

Alienware 500Hz Gaming Monitor & Aurora R15

Following up on these releases, the Alienware line has been further enhanced at CES 2023 with the Alienware 500Hz Gaming Monitor and the Aurora R15.

Introducing the monitor with the world’s fastest refresh rate of 500Hzi, the Alienware 500Hz Gaming Monitor (AW2524H) is a CES 2023 Innovation Award and Best of Innovation winner. Coming in at a 24.5-inch full high-definition (FHD) resolution with a supersonic refresh rate of 500Hz overclocked (480Hz native) on a Fast IPS panel, this elite display offers incredible frame rates to deliver stunning motion clarity in fast-paced games and help gamers clinch victory.

Designed for competitive gamers, the 500Hz Gaming Monitor also offers new functional elements such as a built-in retractable headset hanger and new hexagonal base structure which occupies a smaller footprint so users can place their gaming keyboard and mouse to their convenience and just focus on slaying the competition.

Announced a few months back, the Alienware’s flagship Aurora R15 is designed with expressive curves and an iconic, sculpted shape that houses powerful performance. Originally configured with 13th Gen Intel Core K-Series processors, the latest Aurora now offers AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series Processors and Intel 13th Gen 65W Desktop processor options. Later this Winter, Dell will also introduce AMD Radeon ™ 7000 Series Graphics options.

New QD-OLED monitor

After unveiling the world’s first QD-OLED gaming monitor earlier this year – subsequently named Tom’s Guide Product of the Year and GamesRadar+ Best Ultrawide Monitor – Dell is continuing to expand its QD-OLED offerings with the introduction of a new Alienware 34 Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3423DWF).

For those seeking increased realism the Alienware 34” Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor delivers stunning picture quality and ultra-smooth frame rates that transform the entire gaming experience. Just like the previously launched AW3423DW model, this new monitor offers the same impressive picture qualities of Quantum Dot-OLED technology including consistent colour uniformity, wide colour coverage, deep black tones and incredible brightness. With WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution and blazing-fast 0.1ms GtG response time, gamers can stay ahead of the competition without stuttering, input lag or motion blur while playing fast-paced games. It also supports the latest generation of consoles with VRR up to 120Hz.

Available in dark side of the moon colour and now with a slimmer design to facilitate easier wall mounting. It ships standard with 3-year limited hardware warranty.

Pricing and availability

  • All three new devices will be available later this autumn with pricing to be revealed closer to availability.
