New AW30 design language
Before diving into individual platforms, let’s take a moment to reintroduce AW30 – Alienware's brand new design language and the cohesive thread that unites the entire new Alienware Monitor portfolio and extends across the entire Alienware family, bringing a bold, future-forward aesthetic and cutting-edge innovation to every model.
First introduced at CES, Alienware's AW30 design language is crafted to evoke a sense of mystery and transcendence that is undeniably Alienware. Representing the next evolution in its design journey, AW30 marks a new era for the brand as the company approaches its 30th anniversary.
AW30 brings forward a handful of functional and cosmetic advancements that help customers maintain a clean, organised desk:
- Interstellar Indigo colourway: Showcases a bold, striking appearance that pays tribute to deep blue hues found within the celestial cosmos.
- AW30 “glyph” iconography: Alienware language that any keen eyes can decode.
- 360-degree ventilation: Elegantly designed to provide proper airflow and protect essential components.
- Compact base: Designed with a small footprint to help maintain a tidy desk, allowing for optimal keyboard placement and smooth mouse movements.
- Simplified cable management: Eliminates the need for a rear cable cover. The convenient stand allows easy port access while keeping cables organised and clean.
- Updated OSD UI and AWCC 6.6: Features a cleaner on-screen menu and integrated AWCC support to manage monitor settings directly from your desktop.
A triad of new QD-OLEDs
Alienware's QD-OLED class of monitors sit at the top of the portfolio as the company's flagship offerings designed to provide the ultimate visual fidelity. Today, Alienware is enlisting three new QD-OLED displays to join the ever-growing portfolio, expanding Alienware’s line-up to a total of five QD-OLED models.
When the company launched the Alienware 34 Curved QD-OLED (AW3423DW) in 2022 as the world’s first QD-OLED gaming monitor, it established Alienware as the leader in QD-OLED, setting the industry standard for gaming monitors. Alienware is building on its legacy with the introduction of a redesigned model that makes meaningful improvements to performance and immersion. The new Alienware 34 Ultra-Wide QD-OLED Monitor (AW3425DW) offers a faster 240Hz refresh rate (up from 175Hz), improved connectivity with HDMI 2.1 FRL, and adds G-SYNC Compatible certification alongside AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and VESA AdaptiveSync. With a WQHD (3440x1440) resolution and 1800R curve, this ultra-wide envelops players’ field of view to unlock an expansive gaming and cinematic experience.
Next up is the new Alienware 27 280Hz QD-OLED Monitor (AW2725D). Pairing QHD resolution with a high-speed 280Hz refresh rate, it strikes a sweet spot blend of vivid visuals and ultra-smooth performance that allow it to excel across all genres of gameplay. But the dark horse detail that makes this monitor stand out is its inviting ~$549.99 target price point that makes QD-OLED gaming with Alienware more attainable than ever.
Rounding out the trio is the anticipated Alienware 27 4K QD-OLED Monitor (AW2725Q), which is now available today! As you may recall from Alienware's announcement at CES 2025, what sets this monitor apart is an impressive pixel density of 166 PPI (pixels per inch), which sets a record highest pixels per inch in any OLED or QD-OLED monitor(i) – thus providing gamers with unparalleled visual clarity, speed and immersion.
For gamers who are concerned with OLED burn-in issues, you will be pleased to know that all QD-OLED Alienware monitors come with a three-year limited OLED burn-in hardware warranty, giving you that peace of mind while you game.
The speed you need for serious competitive gaming
Collegiate esports in the United States and Canada has experienced significant growth in recent years, becoming an integral part of many universities' athletic and academic programmes.
