The problem is the price. Expect between 690 and 900 euros according to the promos. It's twice the price of the Alienware. And to fully enjoy it, you need a setup that pushes 400+ FPS in competitive gaming — so an RTX 5080 or equivalent. If you play at 120 FPS on RPGs, this screen is overkill. However, if you are a serious competitive gamer who wants the best possible advantage, the PG27AQDP is currently the undisputed king of the segment. Nothing comes close to it.
