Alienware's 27-inch 280Hz QD-OLED monitor is now available for $550

Engadget11-07-2025
Alienware has just released a pair of gaming monitors that offer affordability with very few compromises while using Dell's new AW30 design language. Announced earlier this year, the key model is the 27-inch AW2725D 280Hz QD-OLED QHD (2,560 x 1,440) monitor with one of the lowest prices we've seen to date. On top of the relatively high refresh rate and rapid 0.03ms response time, it promises stutter-free visuals with both NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and VESA AdaptiveSync certification.
The QD-OLED panel also offers faithful color reproduction with 99.3 percent DCI-P3 coverage and Delta E < 2 accuracy, along with DisplayHDR TrueBlack 400 certification. It's highly ergonomic as well with height, tilt, pivot and swivel adjustability along with a low-profile base. You get a DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 ports, along with a 5Gbps USB-C port with 15W charging capability. It's now on sale at Dell's online store for $550.
The other new model now available is the Alienware 25 320Hz gaming monitor (AW2525HM). This one has a 320Hz IPS panel with FHD (1,920 x 1080) resolution and a 0.5ms response time. It also supports NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync Premium and VESA AdaptiveSync to minimize stutter and tearing. It comes with two HDMI 2.1 ports while offering 99 percent sRGB color accuracy along with height, tilt, swivel and pivot adjustment. The AW2525HM is now available at Dell.com for $250.

Signal Says This Tech Stock's Rally Isn't Over Yet

Computer hardware stock Dell Technologies (DELL) has been consistently climbing since its early April lows, sporting a 14.8% year-to-date lead. The rally has taken a pause over the last week, however, giving the ascending 50-day moving average time to catch up. Similar moves have preceded bullish activity in the past. Per Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, DELL is now within 0.75 of the 50-day trendline's 20-day average true range (ATR), after spending at least 80% of the last 10 days and 80% of the last two months above it. Over the past three years, six similar signals have occurred, after which the equity was higher one month later 83% of the time with an average 15.5% gain. A comparable move from the stock's current perch at $132.53 would put it at $153.07, its highest level since June 2024. When weighing in, options look like a good way to go. DELL's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 39% sits in the low 7th percentile of its annual range, meaning options traders are pricing in low volatility expectations.

OLED TVs under $1,000? These deals just dropped — here's what to buy now

If you want the best possible picture performance, you're going to need an OLED TV. The problem is that most of the best OLED TVs come with a hefty price tag, making them hard to recommend for those looking to save some money on a new display. Fortunately, there are quite a few OLED TVs available right now at steep discounts. You'll have to settle for a smaller screen sizes from lesser-known TV brands, but there are a healthy smattering of OLED TVs under $1,000. For the most part these TVs are relegated to last year's models, as the pricing is far more reasonable. But don't worry, as the picture quality even in a year-old set more than adequate for most, especially if price is a big concern. The LG B4 OLED remains one of our favorite OLED displays from last year. Like its C-Series counterpart, it's built on a value-first proposition, but makes a few cuts in performance to fall under the $1,000 price mark. That doesn't mean this is a bad TV by any means. On the contrary, as someone who tested and reviewed it last year, I can attest to the brilliance of the LG B4 OLED. It's a true stunner with incredible contrast, surprisingly adept motion processing, and stunning color output. As with most LG OLED TVs, the B4 is also an excellent gaming display. It has four HDMI 2.1 ports and a 120Hz refresh rate, making it an ideal choice for console gamers and even new owners of a Nintendo Switch 2. Looking for an incredible OLED picture without the high price? The LG B4 is the best deal you can find. It's not as bright as higher-end OLED TVs, but you still get to bask in the glory of those perfect contrasts. Inky black levels and ultra-wide viewing angles are the key advantages over LED-LCD TVs, but dedicated gamers will also appreciate the B4's array of sought-after features, including four HDMI 2.1 inputs, support for 4K gaming at 120Hz, VRR and FreeSync.55" for $999 If you're looking for a budget OLED built on Google TV, this 55-inch Sansui display is the one for you. It's got its drawbacks, but it's still a decent-performing OLED at a reasonable screen size for under $1,000. The big issue I had when reviewing the Sansui OLED TV was its interface. It runs on Google TV, which is awesome don't get me wrong, but it runs poorly and slowly on this display. That's largely to do with its processor, which I'm sure isn't as sophisticated or advanced as its rivals. That said, if you can find a streaming device to pair it with, the Sansui still is an excellent performer for most content. Like the B4, it also has a 120Hz refresh rate and has excellent color volume. It's a solid OLED for the price, but you could always spend just a bit more and get a C4 OLED with slightly more features to offer. The Sansui S55VOUG is one of the cheapest OLED TVs around. Despite its low price, this model offers some impressive specs, including a 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision/HDR 10/HLG support and two HDMI 2.1 ports. Unfortunately, we never did get the Panasonic Z85A in for testing last year, but all signs point to it be as phenomenal as Panasonic's other TVs released in 2024. It's built on Fire TV, which isn't our personal favorite interface but it does have some redeeming qualities. Namely, it comes equipped with a set of special AI features, including wallpaper generation, as well as unique cloud gaming services. If cloud gaming isn't your thing, it's equipped with Dolby Vision and HDR10+, meaning HDR movie nights will be full of gorgeous colors, and it has special audio built into the display for incredible performance right out of the box. This was more or less my experience with the Panasonic Z95A OLED TV. It too had a solid speaker system and I loved the OLED's picture performance. The Panasonic Z85A offers the built-in benefits of OLED display technology in a stylish package. It's packed with features for gaming, streaming and more, and folks with Alexa-centric smart home devices will make the most out of the Z85A's built-in Fire TV features. What can we say? We adore LG's C-Series OLEDs for their incredible value proposition. In our LG C4 OLED TV review, we raved about its picture quality and gaming features. A surprising hit is also its use of webOS, which has since been upgraded to include several cloud gaming services. The webOS on the C4 OLED will receive updates through 2029, as LG has committed to a five year update path, making your TV feel fresh and new each year. Its somewhat middling speaker system isn't our favorite, but it can be fixed by buying one the best soundbars for enhanced audio. And if the C4 isn't for you, you can always go with the LG C5 OLED TV. It's slightly more expensive, but we gave it a perfect score in our review and it's bound to get some price cuts sooner rather than later. The C4 is LG's flagship OLED TV from 2024. It's powered by LG's A9 processor and features a 120Hz panel, Dolby Vision/ HDR10/HLG support, built-in Amazon Alexa, four HDMI 2.1 ports and Apple AirPlay 2 support. 42" for $699 Okay, so the Samsung S85D OLED isn't quite under $1,000, but it's not significantly more expensive, either. We couldn't leave it off the list as it's one of the best Samsung TVs for the price. Equipped with four HDMI 2.1 ports and one of the lowest input latency in our testing, it's a no-holds bar OLED. And, while it might not have Dolby Vision support, neither does the PS5 Pro — making these two the perfect pairing. We highlighted its exceptional color handling and brightness in SDR content in our review. Although most OLED TVs tend to be lacking in brightness, Samsung's excel in this regard, making them a good pick for rooms with lots of ambient light. Even if it's a bit over the $1,000 mark, the Samsung S85D is totally worth the investment. It's a no-compromise gaming icon built on an incredible interface. What more could you ask for at just under $1,300? Samsung's entry-level OLED blends the many benefits of OLED display technology with an array of gaming features, all for a price that's lower than most TVs in its class. In addition to its incredible contrast and accommodating viewing angles, you're getting a full suite of HDMI 2.1-compatible inputs, a 120Hz native refresh rate and built-in smart features.
