Luckily, there are a lot of great deals floating around, whether from Dell directly or other retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. As such, we’ve collected some of our favorite Alienware deals below.

If you really value an incredibly fast refresh rate for something like competitive esports, then the aptly named Alienware AW2524H is what you’re looking for. It can do an incredible 500Hz refresh rate, which we’re not even sure is possible without having an RTX 4090 and bumping all the graphical specs and resolution as low as they can go. That probably is the case given it’s a smaller 25-inch screen where a lower resolution doesn’t matter as much,
