Alienware 39-inch 5K OLED monitor targets versatile gaming

Engadget · 3 hours ago

Alienware’s 39-inch 5K ultrawide OLED monitor is presented as a strong all-round option for gaming, media work and general desktop use, combining a wide field of view with more vertical space than many competing ultrawide displays. Its main appeal is a 5,120 by 2,160 resolution, which gives it the height of a 32-inch 4K monitor while retaining an expansive ultrawide format, making games and editing timelines more immersive.

Priced at $1,100, it undercuts LG’s comparable 5K2K UltraGear by about $500 while offering similar dual-resolution modes. The monitor uses a four-stack tandem OLED panel with improved text clarity, 500–1,300 nits of HDR brightness, Dolby Vision and 99 per cent DCI-P3 coverage; it runs at 165Hz natively but can switch to lower-resolution modes reaching 330Hz for competitive games. Its understated plastic design includes height and tilt adjustment, while a polariser helps preserve deep blacks in bright rooms.
