Why Alienware remains the undisputed champ of OLED gaming monitors
Alienware 27-inch QD-OLED 360Hz 2024 model.

Two years and a generation of OLED monitors later, though, Alienware still remains the champ of OLED gaming monitors.

A lot of that comes down to the big fear new buyers have when picking up an OLED monitor: burn-in. The risk of burn-in is real, even if it's not as a big of a deal as some would make it out to be, and most buyers naturally want some peace of mind.

After several years of innovation only applying to the most expensive of expensive gaming monitors, displays are finally providing a leap forward for gamers. Gaming monitors have hit a new mountaintop peak -- time to enjoy the view and imagine the possibilities of what comes next.
