27" Dual-Resolution IPS gaming monitor with dynamic switching between 4K at 180Hz and FHD at 360Hz. Featuring NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility and DCI-P3 95% color coverage.
- Dual Mode Difference: Experience the dual resolution display with the freedom to switch between two modes of play. 4K @ 180Hz mode prioritizes high detail in every shot by scanning each row of pixels at a low refresh rate. Meanwhile, FHD @ 360Hz mode prioritizes a super high refresh rate by scanning two rows of pixels at a time, halving the resolution but doubling the Hz for fast-paced gameplay.
- Ultimate versatility: For content creators and game developers who require precise color work, the Creator Mode feature was designed for you. Choose between the native (DCI-P3) and the sRGB color space, depending on your work needs, and the ability to adjust the gamma settings.
- Color Performance: Experience dynamic, vivid colors with 95% DCI-P3 color coverage
- Tear-free, stutter-free gaming: NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and VESA AdaptiveSync certification allow for stutter-free, tear-free and crystal-clear graphics in both modes.
- Sharp and clear motion: Super-fast 0.5ms gray-to-gray response time reduces blurring and ghosting in both modes.

Thumbs up
My son loves this monitor. He has commented that there is no lag, bright colors, smooth edges. The monitor fits on his small desk and seems big for the size we bought. He loves it…

Great for Gamers and Work at Home Users
Overall this monitor is the perfect answer for anyone looking for a gaming monitor that can also be used for work and playing media. I have three Dell 4k ultra sharp monitors that I use daily for work, they are great for doing office related apps but they are too slow to use as a gaming monitor. This Alienware 4k monitor is nearly as sharp as my Ultra Sharp displays but it has refresh rates that make this also a great gaming monitor. Pros: - The IPS display is bright with deep color saturation - Consistent white screen for office applications like Word - It’s got a wide viewing angle - Variable refresh rates for 4k @180hz and HD @ 360hz - OSD button is easy to access and use - Total control of display and gaming options via OSD - Lots of ports HDMI, Display Port and USBs, supports eARC HDMI - Versatile stand and VESA compatible for mounting Cons: - Doesn’t deliver the darks that an OLED monitor would - If you buy one you will want two or three more After cabling up the monitor I verified its quality by running the EIZO and UFO display test. No dead pixels and the color ranges were bright and consistent. The white was bright without any off shading which really is nice when using office apps. I familiarized myself with the OSD menus and set the monitor up for gaming, touched up the brightness a tad and then started playing my games. I like racing games so having the ability to run HD at the higher refresh rate really seemed to make the images more stable. The colors really stood out in F1 2023 and the detail was sharp when playing Dirt Rally. To really check out the 4k capabilities I played several 4k videos and the images were very smooth without stuttering or pixelizating. Bottom line is this is great monitor no matter what you are wanting to do. This monitor has great specs with a 4k resolution of 3840 x 2160 @ 180 hz as well as being able to support HD 1920 x 1080 with a super fast refresh rate of 360 hz. It is an IPS display panel with a reasonably quick 0.5ms response time. The bezel is narrow but slightly thicker on the bottom than my Dell monitors as seen in the photo. It has two HDMI ports with one supporting eARC to pass through audio. It supports both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos for people like me that use a soundbar for gaming. It also has a DisplayPort, one USB-B upstream port, three USB-A downstream ports and one USB-C downstream port. The stand is very flexible and allows you to move the monitor in all directions to offset any alignment issues. The monitor has a headphones clip built in on the left hand side which is good as long as this is your leftmost monitor.

Gorgeous and dynamic
I've owned more monitors than any one person has a right to have owned in their lifetime, and I have to say this Alienware monitor ranks at the top of them all. Packaging: To start, it's extremely well packaged, the box is very heavy and comes with all of the essentials. It comes with both displayport and hdmi cables so there's no need to go hunting for your own, this is uncommon to have both (sometimes monitors dont even come with one) so it's nice to have the option. Setup: About as straightforward as you can imagine, the monitor just rocks onto the stand and clicks in place, it has multiple HDMI inputs and a DP input, and it natively supports both 4k and 1080p resolutions based on your need. In my opinion, at 27" the 4k option, while 'nice to have' is somewhat difficult to use and not terribly useful. In Windows you just end up jacking up the desktop scaling to be able to see things properly, and in games, while it's "nice" it's mostly just a brag at this size that it's 4k. The 1080p option appears to be far more useful both in desktop and in games, being able to drive it at 360hz may give you an edge that other players dont have, if your graphics card can support it. It's one of the higher refresh rates on the market. Final note is there's a very cool E7 LED lit graphic on the backside of the monitor. Gaming: As I stated, while 4k at 180hz is 'nice to have' the 1080p x 360hz option is really where it's at, it'll give you smooth crisp images and it's compatible with both gsync and freesync so no matter if you're team red or team green, you'll have solid refresh rates sync'd with your graphics card without issue. In high paced racing games I saw no tearing or sheering, same with FPSes like COD, Fortnite and others, it was a perfectly smooth and crisp experience. It's beyond a beautiful monitor, and again, if 4k is your bag, then by all means, it's capable. You can also easily switch between the two if you'd prefer it on in one instance and off in another. Overall: You really can't go wrong with this monitor unless 27" is just too small for your needs, with the dual resolution capability and the high refresh rate at both resolutions, it's going to be more monitor than most people's graphics cards can drive at high detail, it's a good option to futureproof yourself while also having the capabilities to be one of the best available today at any resolution. I easily recommend it.
