Alienware 27 (AW2726DM) QD-OLED monitor review: A budget PC gamer's new best friend - Engadget Tue, 14 Apr 2026 13:00:00 GMT
The price of nearly every type of gaming gadget has skyrocketed recently.

But with the $350 27-inch QD-OLED (AW2726DM), Alienware hasn’t just created a gaming display that’s an excellent value, it’s made a beacon of hope for anyone looking to upgrade their setup without emptying their bank account.

X chief Elon Musk first talked about rolling out a new version of his social network’s direct messaging feature in mid-2025. In a series of posts back then, he said the new version would be encrypted and would feature a “whole new architecture.” He also said all X users were getting XChat in June last year, but Musk is pretty infamous for being overly optimistic about timelines.
