Dell Alienware 27

The Dell Alienware 27 is an Nvidia G-Sync Compatible monitor, meaning it has been validated by Nvidia to provide a tear-free gaming experience without flickering. While it is officially certified for G-Sync, most Fast IPS panels also work flawlessly with AMD FreeSync if you update your graphics card drivers. You simply need to enable the variable refresh rate feature in your operating system.

This monitor features a rapid 1ms GTG (Gray-to-Gray) response time, significantly reducing ghosting and motion blur during fast-paced competitive gaming. The Fast IPS technology ensures that colors do not wash out at extreme angles like older TN panels. This combination of fast response times and good color accuracy makes it highly suitable for both eSports and cinematic single-player games.

Yes, the aggressive RGB lighting on the back of the monitor can be customized using the Alienware Command Center software, even on a non-Dell custom-built PC. The software allows you to sync the lighting with your in-game actions or match it to your desktop wallpaper. Alternatively, you can use the monitor's physical OSD (On-Screen Display) joystick to cycle through static colors.

The monitor is equipped with a standard array of connectivity options, including two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB 3.2 hub. To achieve the full 165Hz refresh rate at 1440p resolution, you must connect your PC using the DisplayPort cable. The built-in USB hub also allows you to plug peripherals directly into the monitor for a cleaner desk setup.
