Alienware Monitor come in three major types, though their labelling is far from distinct: professional grade, consumer and enthusiast grade.

Each grade is different and does a reasonably good job at competing in their respective markets. They address specific concerns of each type of consumer. In order to properly understand why alienware monitors are considered to be a good overall choice. It is important to look at the needs and wants of each group of consumer that actively targets. When it comes to monitors term professional grade really applies more to those with a need for incredible pixel counts. These features each cost additional money but are highly sought after, and when combined cost a heightened premium. Professionals of all kinds know that premiums must be paid for professional grade equipment. But monitors targeted at professional grade consumers actually come at a very reasonable premium.

Best monitors for us:

On the 27″ front, monitors offer uniquely high pixel densities that have only recently been matched by Apple. Apple’s long association with graphical arts and image editing make company’s entry into the 27″ high-density arena wholly expected event. Again Dell tends to win when it comes to price comparison. The fact that both monitors are believe to use the same actual panel makes a quality comparison almost academic. But it is worth noting that Dell’s offerings are consider to be on low to middle end of color accuracy. There are far more expensive monitors that do a lot better job for extremely demanding tasks. But Dell does not honestly compete in this arena. Consumers tend to want reasonable colour accuracy, reasonable response time, and low prices. Dell’s overall volume has enabled them to compete favourably in terms of price while retaining a level of colour accuracy and response time.

No fault in this and best for gaming:

Consumers tend to generally find no fault with. Even demanding video gamers and movie enthusiasts tend to find Dell monitors more than satisfactory. The price is difficult to beat without leaving the safety and security of brand names. While a handful of well-known OEMs offer comparable consumer grade monitors, few of them have the brand recognition as Dell. For example, Acer and Dell are close rivals when it comes to global units shipped in the PC arena. Yet Dell is nearly a household name throughout developed nations of the world while Acer is a less known brand. Rival HP arguably has comparable products at comparable prices while maintaining a similar level of brand recognition. Enthusiasts have recently gravitated to Dell for enthusiast grade monitors that feature full 3D support or other unique features. It is usually the result of Dell’s partnership with leading hardware developers.

Some of the enthusiast grade Dell monitors have recently been rebranded as Alienware monitors, which is Dell’s boutique computer brand. This move signifies the relatively strength of monitors with unique features, and Dell’s belief. It enthusiasts will pay a premium for similar or identical products with only a different branding to distinguish them.
