Alienware Releases 21.5-inch LCD Gaming Monitor
Alienware's new monitor is a... monitor.
Alienware is known for making excessive and flashy gaming systems – after all, it's the system maker’s specialty.
The company normally offers its computers with Dell UltraSharp monitors, which takes advantage of its parent company’s product line. When we found out that the boutique builder was planning to unveil a special branded monitor, we were left wondering just how one would make a typical utilitarian monitor into something flashy and excessive.
Thankfully, Alienware's just announced 21.5-inch OptX AW2210 appears to have specifications and a price that makes it attractive to more than just hardcore gamers.
Even though Alienware says that the monitor is "Designed to Intimidate" and "Impress your opponents with a slim matte black bezel, sleek lines and a dramatic profile that sets the tone for serious gaming," it looks like most other LCD monitors apart from the angular stand.
Check out the rest of the specs:
• 21.5-inch Widescreen Flat Panel LCD
• 1920 x 1080 Full HD Resolution
• Ultra-Fast 2ms Response Time
• Low Input-Lag for Intense Gaming
• 16.7 Million Colors for Vibrant Images
• 80,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio
• Tilt, Swivel and Height Adjustable Stand
• 2 x HDMI ports allow for you to plug in to your PC or your TV for either PC or console gaming sessions
• 4 x Universal Serial Bus ports for hassle free connection to flash drives, mouse, keyboard and other peripherals
The press release and the Dell configure website has this priced at $299, but the link from Alienware's site has it for $290 – something to keep in mind if you're interested in picking one up.




Read the article? 2 ms response time and 80,000:1 contrast ratio. Go look those up and maybe you'll know something.
And I agree with the above posts in regards to not having a monitor capable of 1900x1200. People that buy AW desktops are buying systems that should more than handle 1900x1200 and have spent more than enough money on their desktop to be able to afford the slightly larger monitor.
H-IPS or bust!
Thank God!!! My Dual Samsung 22"s have been holding me back so much from really intense gaming becaues they have so much input lag. I need more jigga-watts!
Also Dell's suck. I use their 24" expensive monitors for CAD at work and they get lines on them sometimes or get all fuzzy for a few hours every couple of weeks. And they are brand new.
This is aimed at the same group of people who do not they can put a PC together for half the price and twice more powerful than the ones you can find at Alienware.
Screw Dellianware!
IOI !!!
