Your gaming battle station is incomplete without a top-notch monitor from Alienware

Video gaming is an incredibly diverse hobby. Some prefer to kick back with their favorite handheld gaming device, while others prefer the traditional console experience. There are those content with casual gaming specs that get the job done as long as they get in the game, and then there are the enthusiasts who need the latest top-of-the-line gear. One thing that's consistent across all gamer archetypes, though, is the desire for high-quality, high-performing displays that don't require us to dip into our game funds.

You don't need to look for a unicorn to find a gaming monitor that fits the bill. Regardless of what you prioritize in your gaming setup, Alienware has a monitor that can fill that void.

For the competitive gamer: Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor

You're fast, you're snappy, your trigger game is on point and you're ready to hit the esports stage. You need a monitor that can keep up with your quick shots and trick shots, and that's where the Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor (model AW2523HF) comes into play. This 25-inch display is esports-optimized to give you the most bang for your buck and is built for the hardcore based on feedback from pro gamers. We all know frames win games, and this monitor is designed with full HD resolution and an impressive 360 Hz refresh rate on a stunning, high-quality IPS display. Pair all that with VESA Adaptive-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium support to minimize screen tearing and a response time of 0.5ms to 1ms, and you've got yourself a display worthy of the best of the best.

The gaming monitor's bezel and stand are nearly as important as the screen itself. The Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor's hexagonal base is designed to require a minimal footprint on your desk, giving you more room for your keyboard and those all-important mouse moves. An integrated, retractable headset also helps keep your desk clear by giving you somewhere to tuck away your headphones when they're not in use. The revamped OSD layout features a centralized joystick that makes for easier navigation of the monitor's settings, and the fully adjustable stand ensures increased comfort for even the longest of gaming sessions.

This monitor also hits all the marks for connectivity, offering multiple USB ports, a headphone port and even a security lock slot. All of that comes with a respectable $350 price tag, so you've got form, function and affordability all in one here.

For the graphics-conscious gamer: Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor

For some of us, gaming is about the experience of a good single-player game with striking graphics. If you're willing to compromise a little on refresh rate for a higher display resolution, then the Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor (model number AW2723DF) may be a better fit for you. This one packs a 27-inch QHD display with a 1440p resolution, providing all the high-quality visual fidelity you expect for today's games. The vibrant IPS flat-screen panel is fitted with an InfinityEdge screen with IPS Nano Color technology that produces dynamic, vivid colors with 95% DCI-P3 color coverage. All that is wrapped up with a VESA DisplayHDR™ 600 certification, so you can trust the picture on your screen looks the way the developers intended it to.

Despite honing in on the graphic fidelity side of gaming, this monitor still offers an impressively fast 1ms response time for lag-free gameplay. The NVIDIA G-Sync, AMD FreeSync and VESA Adaptive-Sync certifications ensure that you're getting crystal-clear graphics without any screen tearing, and the 280 Hz response time is still plenty quick enough to let you keep up in a competitive gameplay environment. Like the Alienware 25 Gaming Monitor, you also get plenty of connectivity here with multiple USB ports, support for HDMI and DisplayPort connections, headphone ports and a security lock slot all at a $580 price point.
