Alienware’s 32-inch 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor is total overkill, but in a good way

Dell has announced the launch of its latest consumer laptops in India with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. The laptops, Dell XPS 14, XPS 16, Alienware m16 R2 and Inspiron 14 Plus are AI-enabled consumer PCs powered by Intel Core Ultra processors, which aims to deliver “major advancement in improving computing experiences for professionals, creators, gamers, and students.”

It’s odd to think back on a time before Baldur’s Gate 3 - and even stranger to think that the sprawling Dungeons & Dragons RPG was actually kicking around for a long while before its 1.0 release blew up awards shows, social media feeds and fan-fiction hubs last summer. Putting the game out into early access at the end of 2020 - multiple years before it was ready for a full release - worked out very well for Larian though, so it’s maybe no surprise that they plan to do exactly the same with whatever comes next.

TCL has unveiled two new Mini-LED gaming monitors, the 34R83Q and 27R83U, both featuring cutting-edge specifications.

The developers behind Helldivers 2 didn't expect many players to join the assault on the Automatons, but surprisingly, a whopping 70% of the player base joined the fight for tyrannical democracy. 

While you should be prepared to spend some serious cash if you want to buy a powerful machine from gaming PC deals, it’s important to be on the lookout for as much savings as possible. At $300 off from Dell, the Alienware Aurora R16 is a great example, as instead of $2,800, you’ll only have to pay $2,500. It’s still not what you’d call affordable, but you’ll at least have extra funds that you can spend on monitor deals, accessories, and video games. We’re not sure how much time is remaining on this discount though, so if you want to take advantage of it, it’s highly recommended that you push through with the purchase immediately.

If your PC gaming setup needs a display upgrade and you’re willing to splurge on monitor deals, you may want to go for the 34-inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G8. From its original price of $1,200, the OLED gaming monitor is down to a more reasonable $900 following a $300 discount from Samsung. It’s still pretty expensive, but we assure you that every penny is worth it for this fantastic screen. You’re going to have to be quick with your purchase though, as there’s a chance that the monitor is back to its regular price as soon as tomorrow.

To no one's surprise, work is already underway on the next Like a Dragon game, with developer RGG Studio announcing that it's in the process of hosting character auditions. The team goes on to confirm that the next title is not Kiwami 3 — a remake of Yakuza 3, which originally released for the PS3 all the way back in 2009.

CD Projekt Red's chief operating officer Piotr Nielubowicz has said that the studio's single-player games may never have microtransactions, but its inclusion in multiplayer projects hasn't been ruled out.

Samsung's Gaming Week sale is going until March 31, now is your chance to take advantage of some incredible PC monitor deals.

One of our favorite gaming monitors is the 27-inch LG UltraGear 27GL83A-B. The reason why we’re reminding you of that is because this monitor currently costs less than it did during one of 2023’s biggest sale events, Prime Day. Originally $299.99, this 1440p gaming monitor has been discounted to just $209.99, presumably for a limited time. While this flat panel IPS monitor has sold for a bit less in the past ($199.99), we’d still recommend giving this deal a look if you’ve been looking to upgrade your 1080p display.

You don’t have to go through gaming PC deals and monitor deals yourself because there are bundles like this one from Dell — the Alienware Aurora R15 gaming desktop and the Alienware 34-inch curved QD-OLED gaming monitor for a package price of $2,900, which is $1,000 less the original price of $3,900. It’s still not cheap, but you’ll be getting a top-of-the-line gaming rig with just one purchase. You’ll have to hurry with the transaction though, as we’re not sure if the bundle will still cost cheaper than usual by tomorrow.

The Alienware M18 stormed the shelves last year, riding a wave of larger gaming laptops making their way back into the mainstream. After testing a number of behemoths from various brands, though, I came to the conclusion that the aliens have done it best. Between the cheaper configuration options compared to Razer and Asus, and the turbo charged power under the hood, the Alienware M18 was a standout rig for me last year - and it made its way to my ranking of the best gaming laptops on the market because of it.
