Few-frills monitors made for esports or amateur gaming
Alienware is releasing a pair of new gaming monitors, including a 25-incher with a 360Hz variable refresh rate and a 27-inch Quad HD option that can overclock to 280Hz. Both monitors sport leaner designs than the brand’s other recent offerings, with smaller bases and slide-out headset stands, giving users more desk real estate for massive desk pads and full-sized keyboards.
The smaller model aesthetically does not scream gaming gear: it’s all matte black plastic with a glossy Alienware head logo and the number “25” on the back, which doesn’t light up like the 27-inch model does. The 25-inch model is equipped with a Full HD 1080p IPS screen with Vesa AdaptiveSync certification, HDR10 support, and 99 percent of the sRGB spectrum.
The 25-inch model has a smaller base now than other Alienware options, leaving more space for a big keyboard.With the 27-inch option, Alienware is also adding DisplayHDR 600 certification and a Creator Mode option that gives you 95 percent of the DCI-P3 color spectrum, as well as full sRGB color space, making it more color accurate if you want to edit videos or photos on it while Steam is closed.
As far as connectivity, both models have similar arrangements that include two HDMI 2.0 ports, Type-B USB 3.2 Gen 1 upstream with four USB-A downstream ports, line out and headphone jacks, and a DisplayPort 1.4 port. There’s also a joystick control that operates Alienware’s revamped OSD settings screen, and thankfully, the monitors don’t have external power bricks. Unfortunately, there’s no USB-C connectivity for those looking to use these as laptop docking stations for office work.
The 27-inch has Alien FX RGB, even for the power button. Both models have a joystick, headphone, and two USB ports on the bottom.
