Alienware 27 360Hz QD-OLED Review (2024 Model) | How Do You Make the Best Better?

[@jacobroach6178]

Hey everyone! Thanks for watching and commenting. Keep 'em rolling. Wanted to address a few things I've seen in the comments already: 1. This is the latest QD-OLED panel from Samsung Display (Gen 3). I see some concerns about the generation. Second-gen Alienware monitor, but the latest QD-OLED panel. Sorry that wasn't clear! 2. VRR flicker. This is an Adaptive Sync monitor, certified with VESA. That should mean VRR, no flickering, regardless of your GPU brand. I didn't experience any flickering during my testing. 3. Text clarity. You can't get away from it on this monitor. There is a bit of fringing, but it's really, really hard to notice. I've seen this concern since the Alienware 34 QD-OLED, and it wasn't a big deal there. It's not a big deal here, either. OK, that should do it! Leave me a reply here if you have a specific question I can answer. I still have the monitor for a few more days.

Folks, OLED monitors won’t be “budget” until years down the road. 2nd, $899 is a good price for this, go check the price of last gen models release price. 3rd, this is an enthusiast level panel with manufacturers competing tooth and nail to push the boundaries of this panel tech; they aren’t going to cater towards lower end system users because thats not their target audience. Difficult to beg for a brand new iPhone to be “budget” when it’s bleeding edge, this isn’t new news.

[@clawson32104]

I agree fully….its priced the same as the Asus when it’s on sale yet is a faster panel with HDMI 2.1 port. The 240hz models may need to drop their price if that $899 pricing for 360hz keeps up. Will be no reason to buy one

I feel like the bigger bezels/rear helped them keep the price a bit lower, which I'll take all day long. Sure the paper-thin monitors look great, but I'm not willing to pay $200+ more for them when it's essentially the same display.

[@RyanIsRad427]

Agreed!

[@incription]

yep bezels look great but if you have an oled youre gonna be using them iin a semi dark room so it doesnt matter anyway

[@Cuthalu]

I'd be willing to pay MORE for thicker rear. Thin rear means the unit is more likely to suffer from defects caused during transportation, handling or manufacturing. Thicker also could help with better cooling if the space is utilized for it. This thin-nonsense needs to stop.

[@andrewmorris3479]

Interesting tidbit about the diagonal measurement. The active screen area is 26.5” diagonal but the viewable screen size is 26.7”. That extra 0.2” of area is contributing to the bezels looking larger when the monitor is in use as a certain amount of pixels are added for pixel shift.

@@darryldasilva6671 360hz is among the best gaming monitor for games like Counterstrike or other competitive e-sports games otherwise the 32inch is better for multimedia.

[@Robin-ou1gg]

@@darryldasilva6671if youre still deciding… Though the difference between 240 and 360 hz might seem insignificant, playing at 4k will create a much larger actual difference in fps. There is upscaling but it doesnt look good in every game. Also for competitive fps curved monitors arent recommended and the smoothness is surprisingly noticeably better on 360hz if you can achieve those frames. As the hardware requirements keep getting raised with new games, itll be hard to run 4k with current gen hardware 3-4 years from now, even the 3080 is struggling already. You can wait longer with upgrading if youll buy the 1440p monitor, also there will be much better monitors at lower prices than both of these in a couple years anyways. If the games you play and your hardware can make it work though the 4k curved experience will be more impressive in many instances. I generally would recommend the 1440p model but of course it depends on the games you play and the way you play them

[@sassankal]

@@darryldasilva6671 I can tell you why I went with this one. I play CS2 exclusively on PC and and I went with this for the 360Hz refresh rate. High responsiveness and super smooth feeling when playing the game. If I want to play 4k games, I have the PS5 with a 4k TV. If you do video editing, or want to hook up your console for a 4k 120FPS experience, then go for the 32 inch 4k version.

[@josephparry]

I’m pretty shocked that out of every review of 360hz OLEDS so far, not a single one has compared motion clarity to 540hz ULMB. It’s been compared to 360hz ULMB and loses, so I want to know how much 540hz beats it. Then I can decide if the positives of OLED (1440p, 360hz, colours, response times etc) are worth the trade off. As for me I pretty much only care about motion clarity, raised blanks etc mean very little to me.

[@phillipvorndran6531]

I am trying to decide on this new 27 inch vs the 34 qd-oled currently on sale for $799. Which do you think is the better choice? The 32 4k sounds great but don't think my 6950 xt can take advantag of it and don't have the budget for both a new monitor and a new card

[@yourself88xbl]

came looking for the same advice.

[@Shadowsmoke11]

If you want the better experience to play single-player games, I’d say that 34” ultrawide is the best option. If you want to play competitive games like shooters, then the 27” QD-OLED 360hz is better IMO. I am not a huge fan of ultrawide personally, so I’d lean more towards 16:9 27” monitor.

I am really disappointed you didn't address one particular facet that continues to bother a lot of people about OLED Monitors, and that is text clarity and suitability for productivity. Not everyone is spending $900 on a gaming monitor and expects to be able to use it for more than one purpose.

Can we have cheaper, less insane OLEDs though? I don’t know many people who can run anything at 360 or 480hz. How about a solid 1440p@144hz OLED?

[@JohnnyBeGoodz]

They’re pushing panel tech to its limits. This is end-game stuff and OLED won’t be “budget” for years.

[@clawson32104]

It also depends on what you are willing to spend for the technology. I mean the Acer OLED is $699 right now which isn’t bad. Then the AOC is $799 typically. I mean if you want to only spend $500 then you will be waiting at least a couple of years for the newness of the tech to wear off. Hell when Blu Ray players first launch they were close to $900-$1000 and look how much they dropped in price

[@yeahbuddy300lbs]

@@JohnnyBeGoodz that’s okay. The $500-600 range is not budget. They could easily achieve that by releasing more normal versions

[@CondescendingIdiot]

It would be a good idea to look at the used market for last year's OLED monitors. I was able to pick up an Alienware AW3423DW for $480 with no burn in or panel imperfections. I've also seen LG's 27 OLEDs go for around $550-$600 used and around $650-$700 for a certified open box option. They still are not in the "budget" option section yet but should be at a mid range price if you're scouting for deals.

[@xD3NN15x]

I bought this display a few days ago and I'm thrilled! It looks fantastic straight out of the box! But as a new user of an OLED HDR display on a PC, I would have liked a little more introduction to all the settings. For example, if you want to play a game that supports HDR, you probably have to turn HDR on in Windows and calibrate it (with an app from the Microsoft Store) And after playing, you should turn HDR mode off in Windows if you play "normal" games that don't support HDR, otherwise the colors won't look good... I had to piece all of this together from the internet - and I have no idea whether it's all correct, instructions from the manufacturer would be better somehow

If the LG has a matte coating on the screen, I think you will like the Alienware more. It really makes the colors pop when the screen is glossy. Higher refresh rate and a better warranty will give piece of mind over the next 3 years.

Hey man great in depth video. I just bought this monitor and am waiting for it to be delivered I just want to know if I can just unbox it, plug it in and start gaming and have a good experience. I have a 4090/7800X3D PC and I play games like Fortnite, CoD and also horror games and open world survival. Do I need to change any settings out of the box and if so what do you recommend for a good experience as a first time OLED buyer. I’m coming from a Samsung odyssey G7!

[@_sneakycat_]

As someone with the ASUS 240hz oled from last year I’m debating if it’s worth upgrading to this

[@JtwasLuck]

Get this or wait 6 months for the ASUS 480Hz 27" OLED, its going to have strobing so its going to be nuts for motion clarity.

[@kerim_og_9378]

its not, worse blacks when u have lights on, even tho i like glossy, people say that the qd oleds gets scratches so easy, which do not happen with glossy panels from lg && RTINGS tested that qd oled gets more burn in the only thing better is the 360hz refresh rate, but u have to actually get 360fps+ to make use of that, and the difference between 240 & 360 is so small, i had the pg27aqn and the pg27aqdm here last week, and ive sent the pg27aqn back because the difference was to minimal so: aw2725df vs pg27aqdm pros: 360hz vs 240 (even tho a small one) cons: worse blacks faster burn in scratches from just cleaning optional subjective con for me: thick bezels, from looking aspects, asus blows this alienware out of the water The pg27aqdP with 480hz WOLED is a whole another story, this monitor will be ENDGAME, i'd 10000% wait for that and from this i will upgrade my PG27AQDM too

I assume if you have an Nvidia GPU, then you would want a different monitor with Gsync, right? (Sorry, I'm still a little new to what all it does)

[@Masonplays963]

FreeSync is just as good. You can't tell a difference nowadays except that GSynch adds $200.

[@dragonsbIood]

@@Masonplays963 Sorry, i meant if I have a Nvidia GPU right now, I shouldn't buy this monitor because it doesn't have gsync, Freesync only works with AMD GPU's, right? Thank you for the quick response!!

@@dragonsbIood no, freesync works with both. You can google some videos and the difference isn't even noticeable nowadays. Not worth any premium. Most FPS games recommend you turn off Gsynch if you have it, so I have never used it.

[@TheCabIe]

The monitor seems absolutely insane quality-wise, not much else to add. But it's also offers and interesting conundrum - the very reason to even get a 360hz monitor is pretty much to mostly play competitive FPS titles like CS2/Valorant/OW2 etc. otherwise you're just wasting the high refresh rate as no other games can achieve that framerate consistently or simply don't benefit from it in any meaningful way. But playing one or two games with HUD for hours close to every day is THE nemesis of OLEDs with nearly guaranteed burn-in relatively quickly, right? I don't think many people should consider buying this if they don't play those games at least 50% of the time, it just makes no sense. So what's the solution? Will warranty cover it perfectly, no questions asked for full 3 years? What if you get burn-in after just 1 year for playing one or two games nearly every day for, let's say, 3-4 hours? Will you get a replacement then? Is it easy to get a replacement or will it be a long battle of "you didn't use our pixel clearing feature often enough therefore it's your fault burn-in happened" etc. type of shit? Or are you expected to simply pay-up as this is a premium quality experience and it's ok it costs a lot? That's fine, but that ends up making the ACTUAL cost of these monitors potentially 2 or even 3 times higher than the initial price because for similar price you could get an LCD that will easily last 5+ years while if burn-in happens, you either have to suffer through it (which makes no sense for a product you are buying FOR the insane visual clarity it offers in the first place) or just buy a new one. So if a burn-in is pretty much guaranteed to happen within, let's say 1.5 years, you are ACTUALLY paying 3x the amount compared to an LCD. Which again, is completely fine, but then it pretty much becomes this extreme luxury product. *Is my math/assumptions wrong somewhere?* I REALLY want to try an OLED, but if by using a 360hz monitor by its intended use like playing competitive FPS games with HUD for many hours every day means I have to re-buy it every year or so, this is definitely not for my pocket.

[@MagicXR]

You're a bit off. The question is, do you want OLED? If yes, this makes the most sense if you want 27". Is there a difference between 240hz? Yes. Will you notice it? Moreso on OLED than IPS, but not a massive difference at all. A 360hz monitor however will most likely be end game. Last year's models are WOLED, so if you want QD OLED then these new panels the way to go. Plus it makes more sense with the current prices of the models that released last year. If not, then you get a 1440p 360hz IPS. Or if you enjoy wasting money, 540hz 1080p TN. I don't think burn-in should be an issue with these monitors, especially as the tech progresses. Burn-in with atleast AW's warranty so far should not be an issue. We'll have to see what other vendors do later in the year. In conclusion, the question is do you want OLED or IPS. You seem like you want OLED so pull the trigger if it is in your budget!

[@heyimwoof]

Just to help, if you experience any type of burn in on an Alienware monitor they won’t question it. They’ll ask you for some photos to prove that there’s burn in and if it’s there or even if one tiny dead pixel is found, they’ll ship you a whole new panel the next day.

[@TheCabIe]

@@MagicXR Well, the current price IS in my budget, but ultimately it comes down to how often do you expect to keep your monitor for? With LCDs 5+ years is reasonable so the cost of $1k ends up being a lot lower. But with OLED there seems to be a hidden cost of replacement if it wears-out so the $1k cost may more realistically be 2k-2.5k in comparison to LCD over that period. Which is fine, the product is so good it might be worth it, but it seems like almost no one mentions that when reviewing them. If 3 year no questions asked warranty checks out I think I'll go for it (I'm not sure if Dell offers that in my country), otherwise, the risk of burn-in is probably too high for me to pay $1k for a potential only 1 year of quality use.

[@TheCabIe]

@@heyimwoof That's nice to hear, thanks for the reply! Guaranteed 3 year use sounds good enough then. Still more than I would be comfortable to pay in most cases, but the experience is described as so godlike, I'm too intrigued not to try :D

Big CS player here. I only play one game on PC and that's CS2. just returned my xl2566 because one of the pixels got stuck after only a few days and I just ordered this one instead. Maybe a blessing in disguise. I can tell you the Benq colors felt really horrible, off and weird (especially colors like red and orange).
