Alienware has introduced two new monitors for its OLED gaming lineup. One is a 32-inch 4K gaming monitor, referred to as the AW3226K by Wccftech and the AW3226Q by TechPowerUp, that uses new RGB Stripe Tandem OLED panel technology. The other is a 24.5-inch (described by Wccftech as 25-inch) QD-OLED monitor called the AW2527HX, aimed at competitive esports players with a 560Hz refresh rate.

The 32-inch model has a 3840x2160 resolution and runs at up to 165Hz, with a 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time. It reaches up to 1,000 nits of peak HDR brightness, covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and is factory-calibrated to Delta E<2. It supports VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 and Dolby Vision, along with NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and VESA AdaptiveSync. Connectivity includes two HDMI 2.1 (FRL) ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-A and USB-C downstream ports, with the USB-C port supporting up to 15W charging. The monitor comes with a three-year warranty that includes OLED burn-in coverage and is backed by an anti-burn-in algorithm, according to Wccftech. It is set to launch globally this fall for $699.99.

The AW2527HX uses a 24.5-inch QD-OLED panel with a Full HD (1920x1080) resolution and a native 560Hz refresh rate, which Alienware describes as the fastest monitor it has built to date, according to TechPowerUp. It shares the same 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time as the 32-inch model and reaches up to 1,500 nits of peak brightness, with a VESA DisplayHDR True Black 600 rating. The display uses a matte AGLR coating and DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR13.5) with full bandwidth and no DSC. For burn-in protection, it includes graphite heat dispersion and an AI-based pixel-level algorithm, along with pixel shift and pixel refresh features, and it carries the same three-year warranty covering OLED burn-in.

Wccftech adds that the AW2527HX has dedicated buttons for switching between 4:3 and 3:2 aspect ratios and includes a headset hanger on the back. The monitor was developed in collaboration with Team Liquid esports players. It is scheduled to launch in early Q1 2027, though pricing has not yet been announced.

The two sources differ slightly on naming and sizing details: Wccftech labels the 32-inch model the AW3226K, while TechPowerUp calls it the AW3226Q. Similarly, Wccftech's body text describes the smaller monitor as 25 inches, though its own spec table and TechPowerUp both list it as 24.5 inches.
