TL;DR: Live stream select Ligue 1 fixtures for free on CazéTV. Access these free live streams from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN.

Ligue 1 doesn't have the same reputation as the Premier League or La Liga, but PSG has just secured its second consecutive Champions League title, so perhaps it's time to reassess the quality of France's top league?

We know that there's a gulf in quality between PSG and the rest of the league, but Ligue 1 now combines genuine stars like Dembélé, Vitinha, and Kvaratskhelia with elite young talent that will dominate the game in the years to come. Will any team make the jump and actually compete with PSG for the title? That seems unlikely, but fans can bank on some thrilling football every week.

If you want to watch Ligue 1 for free from anywhere in the world, we have all the information you need.

What is Ligue 1?

Ligue 1 is a professional football league in France and the highest level of the French football league system. Ligue 1 is contested by 18 clubs, including popular teams like PSG, Olympique de Marseille, and AS Monaco. Every team plays 34 matches per season.

The defending champions are PSG.

When is Ligue 1?

The 2026/27 Ligue 1 season kicks off on Aug. 21. The 34-matchday campaign concludes on May 29.

How to watch Ligue 1 for free

CazéTV will be showing select Ligue 1 fixtures for free on their YouTube channel.

These free live streams are geo-restricted to Brazil, but anyone can bypass these restrictions with a VPN. These tools can hide your real IP address (digital location) and connect you to a secure server in Brazil, meaning you can unblock free live streams of Ligue 1 from anywhere in the world.

Access free live streams of Ligue 1 by following these simple steps:

1. Subscribe to a streaming-friendly VPN (we recommend ExpressVPN)

2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

3. Open up the app and connect to a server in Brazil

4. Visit CazéTV

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but leading VPNs do tend to offer free-trial periods or money-back guarantees. By leveraging these offers, you can gain access to free live streams of Ligue 1 without actually spending anything. This is obviously not a long-term solution, but it does give you time to watch select fixtures (plus coverage of the Premier League and La Liga) before recovering your investment.

If you want to retain permanent access to free live streams all season, you will need a subscription. Fortunately, the best VPN for live sport is on sale for a limited time.

Netflix is not the only streaming service loading up on new shows in September. Hulu has several new and returning shows premiering throughout the month. First up is a Glen Powell comedy set in the world of college football. Next is a Snowfall spin-off that picks up shortly after the events of the finale.

If you've been on Android since its early days, you probably remember just how sluggish it felt compared to iOS and how Google gradually managed to make it smoother and more responsive. Sure, part of that was the rise of faster phone hardware, but software optimizations also played a major role.

Apple is expected to reveal new iPhones soon, including its first foldable iPhone. Bridget Carey gives her expert guide on what you should really pay attention to at the Sept. 9 'Surprise and Shine' presentation.

For many people, Bluetooth headphones are not and never have been a straight-up replacement for wired—they're just convenient to use on the go. But manufacturers have been trying to kill the 3.5mm jack for years now, stripping it from flagship phone models and even laptops.

An old laptop isn't the kind of device you think of when someone says "local AI," but as long as you pick the right AI, they can be pretty useful. Whatever device you use, it needs 8GB of RAM at a minimum, though 16GB is better. Luckily, even laptops from five years ago frequently had that much memory available.

Watched South Korean thriller Mousetrap on Netflix? We need to talk about that ending.

Based on the 2017 Kakao Webtoon Field Mouse by Ludovico, directed by Kim Hong-sun (Project Wolf Hunting), and written by Lee Jae-gon (A Model Family), the series takes the chilling concept of "identity laundering" and turns it into a 10-episode cat-and-mouse game. But who is the series' core mystery figure known as The Rat and what's his motive?

Let's break it all down — and suffice to say, spoilers ahead.

Reclusive novelist Je Moon-jae (Reply 1988's Ryu Jun-yeol) finds his identity completely stolen by a mysterious figure known as "The Rat," who looks exactly like him. He takes his moniker from the Korean folktale that warns children against leaving their fingernail clippings lying around — if a mouse eats them it can transform into that person's likeness.

Moon-jae has been a total recluse since his parents' tragic death, and thanks to his literary success, his hideaway is a luxurious apartment in Seoul, where his only real connection to the outside world is his friend, accountant Son Su-hyeon (Moo Jin-sung). Suddenly, Moon-jae can't access his bank account or his phone, quickly realising his identity has been hijacked, the cops are on his trail, and a loan shark called No-ja (Sul Kyung-gu) is his only ally.

Meanwhile, hardened detective Park Sun-yong (Lee Kyu-hyung) receives an anonymous tip about a body found in the Han River, one that points the finger at No-ja, who is, in turn, pursued by identity fraud ring boss Park Seung-gyu (Kim Sung-oh). Thus, the chase is on.

By the finale, we learn that the Rat is a man called Seo Yu-min, whom Moon-jae met an intercollegiate literary club. But the real Rat, thematically, ends up being Moon-jae himself, an unreliable narrator who has forgotten his actions due to taking his late mother's medication.

Moon-jae joined the literary club by faking being a university student, to "become a better version of myself, like my mom always told me." Moon-jae and Yu-min became close, both crushing over their friend So Min-yeong (Song Sui). Notably, Yu-Min let Moon-jae read his story, "The Rat That Ate Fingernails," and read his notebooks, which Moon-jae later stole and submitted for the club's anthology as his own work. To hammer it home, there's a scene early in the series where Moon-jae is seen sitting at his computer unable to type anything. Though he's surrounded by notes, he stares at a blank page, a blinking cursor. "None of it was ever mine to begin with," he realises in the finale.

Is Moon-jae actually Moon-jae? Detective Park Sun-yong (Lee Kyu-hyung) was once called Je Moon-jae. Credit: Yoo Eun-mi / Netflix

Yes and no. It's complicated.

Throughout the series, we learn that Sun-yong was actually adopted by Moon-jae's parents when he was five years old, as the detective remembers why the name "Je Moon-jae" felt so familiar to him. It's the name he was given when he was adopted, and one he remembers being called by Moon-jae's uncle Han Hui-su in a flashback to a theme park. Essentially, Sun-yong has been unknowingly hunting his own brother for the whole series — a fact Yu-Min definitely knew, hence why he tipped off the detective personally.

Sun-yong (then Moon-jae) was sent back to the orphanage when his adopted parents bore a son, and because they apparently really liked the name (or wanted to conceal their actions), called their biological child Moon-jae. When Moon-jae visits No-ja in the finale, he recalls a time he started a fire at a school, where he'd registered under a different name, Park Chan-u. Why? "It doesn't feel like my name," he felt at the time, despite not knowing it was first his brother's.

In probably the saddest tale of Mousetrap, Min-yeong's death is framed as directly caused by Moon-jae's actions.

Back in their university days, Moon-jae, Yu-min, and Min-yeong went on a summer trip to Jeju, a picturesque island off the south coast of the Korean Peninsula. During the trip, Moon-jae became jealous of the other two spending time together, and in a drunken state, asked to speak to Min-yeong alone to declare his feelings. Refusing, she revealed that she and Yu-min had always been a secret couple, before Moon-jae met them. Moon-jae lost control and attacked Yu-min.

Later, in an envious rage, Moon-jae wrote a post in an online forum fabricating sexual details of Min-yeong and Yu-min's relationship, after which she was shamed at grad school by her peers. Socially ostracised, she dropped out and cut ties with her family, with Yu-min desperately trying to prove to the police that Moon-jae wrote it.

"You must have been one hell of a writer. Even the cops had nothing on you," Yu-Min says in the finale.

"I was high on drugs. Who'd read that bullshit? I just wrote it like a novel," Moon-jae says.

Emotionally and financially supporting Min-yeong, Yu-Min sends his unpublished novel "The Rat That Ate Fingernails," to a publisher hoping for a runaway success — only to find that his work had already been published as Interview by Sung Hag-Yun, which won Moon-jae a prestigious Best New Writer award and launched his career. Sadly, Min-yeong dies by suicide, and in a state of despair, Yu-min reads Interview by her side, only to find the story resembles that of their lives, with Moon-jae changing the details to his own perspective.

"You were so jealous of me that, in your novel, you subtly made yourself me and me you," Yu-Min says. "So I decided. I'll get my revenge. I'll become you too and take back everything you took from me. I'll rip that mask off your face, strip you of everything, and throw you out."

What's the Rat's plan? Ryu Jun-yeol as Yu-Min. Credit: Yoo Eun-mi / Netflix

After Min-yeong's death, Yu-min goes to vengeful extremes. He gets plastic surgery to look like Moon-jae and learns how to speak using his voice.

To steal Moon-jae's identity, Yu-Min found his way into Seung-gyu's identity fraud ring, selling his own identity. However, Yu-Min faked his own death before his identity could be laundered. He also sold Min-yeong's identity to Seung-gyu, murdered a random woman, replicated Min-yeong's tattoo on her body, then tipped off the cops to frame Moon-jae for murder and implicate Seung-gyu.

Yu-Min then forced Sun-yong to help him steal Moon-jae's life (cloning his phone, blocking access to his money etc.), as the Rat kidnapped his daughter. Su-hyeon dies by suicide before Moon-jae can get more answers. By the finale, we know Yu-Min is the one who sent the tip about No-ja to Detective Park, as he wanted Sun-yong to be the lead detective on the case that would frame Moon-jae for murder (Detective Park was once adopted by Moon-jae's parents.)

When Detective Park checks the university records, there's no record of Min-yeong (because Yu-Min sold her identity to frame Moon-jae) or Moon-jae (because he wasn't a student), but there is one for Yu-Min.

In the finale, Moon-jae tracks Yu-Min down to the Queen Caligo, the ship bound for Jeju, where it all began.

In their final confrontation in the ship's cabin (the same cabin the trio stayed in that fateful summer), Moon-jae learns the truth, ultimately fighting with Yu-Min and throwing him from the window into the sea. In this scene, Moon-jae finally finds his motivation: "I don't think I wanted to be you. I think I wanted to be myself. A better version of myself."

The one really holding the cards here is publishing house editor-in-chief Han Ji-hye (The Call's Lee El), the only person who talked to Moon-jae in the last three years, and who quickly works out the difference between the two by simply being observant. After Yu-Min tells her the truth, she gives Moon-jae the unpublished manuscript of The Rat Vol. 2, in which Yu-Min exposes what Moon-jae did, telling the world the story we just watched in Mousetrap. "This should never get out," a panicked Moon-jae says in voice over.

In the final scene, however, when Seung-gyu finds Moon-jae's apartment and bangs on the door, we see Yu-Min in the square. It's not clear whether Yu-Min is actually alive or whether Moon-jae's guilt is making him experience a vision of him. But it's clear Moon-jae's attempt to outrun his past has failed.

Trump has issued an executive order changing the name of "Lake Ontario" to "Lake America", combining the announcement with a social media clip of him changing the name on the map himself with a sharpie — and nobody is less impressed than Seth Meyers.

"My least favorite thing about the name change of Lake Ontario? Can I tell you my least favorite thing? Is when he took out the map to change it in sharpie and he crossed out the "Lake" to write "Lake" above it," says Meyers in the Late Night clip above. "Like why not just cross out Ontario and write America? But he crossed out both. Like the lake's there. The lake didn't change."

Meyers' conclusion? "This is some real dork sh*t," he says. "They're just such dorks. And you know what again, it's a real reminder that they can't actually accomplish anything."

Looking for a new drone without spending a fortune? The Skyrover X1 is currently on sale, bringing this compact 4K drone down to just $449 from $619. Not only is that a $170 discount, but it's also the lowest-ever price for this model.

The drone comes as part of a combo deal: you'll also get a remote controller, gimbal protector, shoulder bag, three pairs of propellers, three smart flight batteries, 18 propeller screws, and a screwdriver.

This is an incredibly compact drone, weighing under 249 grams. It has a 1/1.32-inch CMOS sensor and f/1.7 aperture for capturing 48MP photos and 4K/60fps HDR video, so while it's compact, it still produces high-quality shots.

It even has creative modes, such as AI Auto Track, Smart Spotlight, Dual Tracking, and vertical shooting, plus 4K/100fps video for slow-motion footage and timelapse modes.

Sony has officially unveiled two limited-edition DualSense controllers for Grand Theft Auto VI, giving the PS5 gamepads matching Vice City-inspired makeovers ahead of Rockstar's long-awaited sequel.

Both the black and white limited-edition GTA 6 controllers are priced at $84.99 and are set for release on Nov. 19 — the same day as GTA VI. 

Both controllers borrow heavily from Vice City's unmistakable aesthetic in different eye-catching ways. Both shells pack shimmering, color-shifting finishes that mix sunset hues with neon blues, plus custom palm tree details molded directly into the plastic and official Grand Theft Auto VI branding. If you’re a longtime GTA fan, the oversized ‘VI’ that’s taking over the touchpad will make this a must-buy.

The white model is taking cues from Vice City's beaches, pastel skies, and sunny day-glamor. 

Meanwhile, the black edition is all about channeling the gaming city's nightlife. It's still got the same Florida-style palm trees, but in a more classically chic PlayStation black.

Credit: Sony

The announcement on the PlayStation Blog does state that both will be available at "participating retailers," but for now, the only way to preorder the GTA VI DualSense controllers is through PlayStation Direct — starting on Sept. 10 at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET. Eligible orders placed directly through PlayStation will also get free launch-day delivery.

Stock will be available in limited quantities and will sell out fast. We’d advise bookmarking this article as a reminder and quickly jumping to the link above.

Beyond their new looks, they're still standard DualSense controllers, so they include haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. You'll get what you need as you play through Jason and Lucia’s story, but you won’t have any added features beyond the new, stylish aesthetics.

Keep in mind that although both GTA 6 controllers officially launch on Nov. 19, exact availability will vary by country and region.

At this point, the foldable iPhone is the biggest open secret in Silicon Valley. Apple kept a tight lid on its first-ever foldable phone right up until dropping the iOS 27 developer beta, which includes some direct and indirect references to the iPhone Ultra (also rumored to be called the iPhone Fold, iPhone Ultra Fold, or something else entirely).

Early adopters already love foldables — and they have plenty of options — but Apple's been notably absent from the genre. However, don't count Apple out. The company has a history of showing up late to the party and then absolutely cornering the market, as it did with AirPods and iPhones.

As we await official details, here's everything we know about the first foldable iPhone, including the latest rumors, specifications, release date, and pricing.

When will the iPhone Ultra be released?

Apple has officially confirmed an event for Sept. 9, where we're almost certain the iPhone 18 lineup will be unveiled. It's at this event where most expect the iPhone Ultra to make its real debut.

We think the iPhone Ultra will arrive on store shelves in fall 2026 alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. Numerous rumors pointed to this over the last year. Our best guess? We expect the iPhone Ultra to be released around Sept. 19; that's when the iPhone 17 launched last year.

Previous rumors suggested a delayed release schedule. Tech analyst named Tim Long claimed that shipments of the iPhone Ultra wouldn't begin until December, but Bloomberg's Mark Gurman threw cold water on this rumor. And Gurman seems to have a crystal ball looking right into Apple headquarters these days.

A recent report out of Australia (via the Chinese supply chain) also claimed that the iPhone Ultra will be available right after launch in the U.S., though it might get rolled out to other markets a bit later.

What will the iPhone Ultra look like?

We've seen a lot of iPhone Ultra leaks over the past year, but the most recent leak comes courtesy of YouTuber Unbox Therapy, which claims to have received dummy units from China. These leaks line up perfectly with the latest iPhone Ultra rumors and previous leaks.

The iPhone Ultra will have an aspect ratio and shape very similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 8, but with more rounded corners. The rear of the device looks more like a Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold, however. We believe the passport-shaped phone will have an external 5.5-inch OLED display and an internal 7.8-inch display. Leaks show two cameras on the rear of the device.

In addition to the Unboxed Therapy leak, the casemaker Benks has already posted product listings for iPhone Ultra phone cases.

Finally, leaker Instant Digital reported earlier this year that the Ultra will have volume buttons on the top of the device rather than the side. "The volume buttons are not on the left side," reads a translation of the post. "Instead, they are placed directly on the top of the right-side frame (similar to the volume button layout on the top of the iPad mini). This may take some getting used to for users’ typical phone habits."

How much will the iPhone Ultra cost, and will people buy it?

The iPhone Ultra is likely to be expensive. An early estimate from research analyst Arthur Liao suggested the price tag for the Ultra — gulp — could come in around $2,399. Last year, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the iPhone Ultra is likely to retail between $2,000 and $2,500; recently, Kuo narrowed that down to $2,300 — $2,500. Finally, the International Data Corporation recently reported that the iPhone Ultra will have an average price of $2,550.

Despite the sizable cost (the flagship Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 is priced at $1,899.99), sales expectations remain high. The IDC report estimated Apple would siphon 40 percent of the spending in the foldable market in 2026 and ship 17 million Ultras by the end of 2027.

"Apple’s entry into the foldable market has done more than reignite growth in a category that was losing momentum," wrote Nabila Popal, an IDC Senior Research Director, in a recent report. "With an average selling price exceeding $2,550, Apple is expected to generate more than $45.7 billion in value and account for over half of the category’s total value. Perhaps most notably, Apple is positioned to challenge Huawei and Samsung for leadership in markets where they have long dominated, an extraordinary outcome for a product expected to be less than two years into its lifecycle."

As of early September, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman is predicting a price tag of at least $2,000.

Based on all the available leaks, the iPhone Ultra specs could look something like this:

• Displays: 7.8-inch inner OLED display, 5.5-inch outer OLED display

• Thickness: 9.5mm unfolded, 4.5mm when folded

• Security: Touch ID

• Processor: A20 processor

• Cameras: Dual rear cameras (48MP), dual inner/outer front cameras

• Price: $2,399

• Battery: At least 5,088 mAh

The foldable iPhone will be a book-style foldable with four cameras — two on the back, one on the inside, and one front selfie camera. Gurman also predicted it would use Touch ID like the iPad Air and Pro, even though iPhones typically use Face ID. All the recent leaks back up Gurman's reporting.

The smartphone market is already adapting to the expected size of the iPhone Ultra. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8, which launched in July, is exactly that: A wider-than-usual foldable that looks like a proper tablet when unfolded. Huawei was the first to market with a wide foldable, though the Pura X Max is only available overseas.

We've seen several reports claiming that Apple has invested heavily in the iPhone Ultra's display and hinge. It should be very durable, thin, and with a barely visible crease, similar to the recent Samsung Galaxy Z Fold devices. Samsung Display is reportedly producing the OLED displays for the iPhone Ultra, as Samsung's got the best flexible display tech in the game. There's a reason Samsung released the Galaxy TriFold while the world is still waiting on the first foldable iPhone.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported earlier this year that the iPhone Ultra would have a 7.8-inch inner display, a 5.5-inch outer display, and measure in at just 9 to 9.5mm of thickness. Mark Gurman backed up these exact specs in September, just days before the big event. Rumors also indicate that Apple is using liquid metal for the phone's hinge, which should improve durability.

In a recent update, Gurman claimed that some early testers were pleased with how the Ultra performed, in particular with its look and feel, as well as the quality of its hinge. The camera, which doesn't have a telephoto unit, left something to be desired, the report said. Gurman's report confirms a lot of these rumored specs, and he reports that early testers also liked the more iPad-like UX and homescreen layout on the Ultra.

Leaker Instant Digital has made some interesting claims. Most notably, Instant Digital has said the iPhone Ultra will have the largest-ever iPhone battery. (For reference, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is estimated to have a roughly 5,088 mAh battery.)

Instant Digital's also stated, "The rear dual camera + right-side microphone + flash are arranged horizontally. The camera module appears to be fully black and does not match the body color. Currently, the only confirmed color is white, but it is expected that Apple will launch two color options."

Other sources have confirmed the iPhone Ultra's dual-camera configuration, consisting of a regular and an ultra-wide camera.

What does the iOS 27 beta tell us about the iPhone Ultra?

The iPhone Ultra isn't (yet) an official device. We do know a lot about it, but mostly via rumors, whispers, and reports coming out of Apple's supply chain.

But with the first iOS 27 developer beta, we finally learned some actual clues about the iPhone Ultra's existence. Software researcher M1Astra dug through the code (via Bloomberg) and found code that determines whether a device is folded or unfolded. Strings like “mechanicalAngleDegrees” and “angleDegrees" point to Apple fine-tuning the experience depending on how widely a foldable device is open. Researcher Sam Henri Gold found similar clues in the code.

That's not all. Certain widgets, such as Music, News, and Weather, can now be configured to take up the majority of the iPhone's display. That split-view doesn't make a ton of sense on a regular iPhone (you'd probably just want to have one app open instead), but on an iPhone Ultra, such a widget could occupy one side of the display while you do something else on the other.

Then, at WWDC 2026, Apple's Senior VP of Software Engineering, Craig Federighi, pointed out a developer-specific feature called the Device Hub, which allows developers to simulate their apps in different screen configurations.

Finally, Macworld found references in the code suggesting a device that has both the Dynamic Island and a Touch ID; such a device does not exist today, but the iPhone Ultra is rumored to have both.

Up until recently, most of the tech world has simply called the unannounced device the "iPhone Fold" or "iPhone Ultra." However, since it's not a confirmed product yet, it's very possible that the phone will have a different name at launch.

Most tech reporters have settled on the name iPhone Ultra, and that's what we're using until Apple tells us different.

All the iPhone Ultra leaks we've seen so far

In December 2025, we saw lots of alleged iPhone Ultra renders circulating on social media, which all share a similar design.

In February, a leaker known as Instant Digital posted some alleged renders of the iPhone to the Chinese social media site Weibo. Like most leaks, especially the ones pertaining to Apple, we can't confirm their authenticity. However, they align with earlier reports of the phone's overall look.

Apple leaker Sonny Dickson also shared another potential iPhone Ultra render in March 2026.

Dickson shared more purported dummy units of the iPhone Ultra in April, giving those renders a bit more physicality than they had before.

April was fairly bounteous in terms of iPhone Ultra leaks. Aside from Dickson's dummy units, YouTuber Vincent Zhong got his hands on the newly released (in Asia) Huawei Pura X Max Wide. This Chinese phone was one of the first real "wide foldables" to hit the market. It matches the overall design of iPhone Ultra leaks, and its screen dimensions are almost exactly the same as the alleged dimensions of the Ultra.

While the iPhone Ultra will almost certainly look different from Huawei's device, Zhong's hands-on video gives us a decent idea of what to expect from the iPhone Ultra as a physical object in your hands.

We've also gotten some interesting dummy photos from tech leaker Majin Bu on X. In these photos, the dummy units look very similar to what we've seen in other recent leaks. In other words, it looks like a shorter, more book-style foldable than previous foldables. It looks like it'll also support MagSafe cases.

In June, a leaker on Weibo known as Ice Universe claimed to have the ultimate prize, a photo of the actual iPhone Ultra in white, though we believe the device in the photo is merely another dummy unit.

What else do we know about the iPhone Ultra?

Beyond physical design, another recent report suggested you'll be able to run multiple apps side-by-side when the phone is unfolded, sort of like multitasking on iPadOS 26. However, by all accounts, this device will run iOS, not iPadOS, so you won't exactly get a full iPad experience from the iPhone Ultra. (Apps that are designed to run natively in iPadOS, for example, would not be compatible.)

Finally, even though the iPhone Ultra is still in the realm of fantasy, there are already rumors about a follow-up, clamshell-style foldable from Apple, potentially called the iPhone Flip. That one probably isn't coming until next year at the earliest, though.

TL;DR: Alienware is launching two new OLED gaming monitors. The Alienware 32 4K OLED brings four-stack RGB stripe tandem OLED tech down from its 39-inch flagship into a 32-inch 4K panel. The Alienware 25 560Hz QD-OLED, co-developed with Team Liquid, is Alienware's fastest monitor ever — 560Hz, 0.03ms response time, DP2.1 with no DSC — arriving early Q1 2027 with pricing TBA.

Alienware isn't picking a lane this fall — it's building two roads that go in opposite directions, and both are paved with OLED.

Unveiled at IFA in Berlin, the Alienware 32 4K OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3226Q) and the Alienware 25 560Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW2527HX) split the difference between the two things gamers argue about at 2 a.m. on Discord: do you want the best-looking screen on your desk, or do you want to see the guy peeking the corner before he sees you? Alienware's answer is "why not both, just not on the same panel."

Alienware's 32-inch 4K OLED isn't a new idea for the brand — it's a trickle-down idea.

RGB Stripe Tandem OLED, minus the fringing

Most OLED monitors use a four-subpixel layout, with an extra white subpixel added for brightness. Alienware ditched the white subpixel for a true RGB stripe arrangement instead, which means richer color volume since nothing's getting diluted, cleaner fringe-free text, and a polarizing layer that keeps blacks deep even with the lights on. Stack four emissive layers behind all that, and brightness climbs to 1,000 nits peak with an infinite (1.5 million:1) contrast ratio.

Flat, traditional design

The design leans traditional on purpose — flat panel, 16:9, four-sided narrow bezels, wrapped in Alienware's Nova Black colorway as part of its "AW30" design language. If you're running a multi-monitor setup or just don't prefer curved screens, this design is built for you.

Specs

You get ultra-vivid 99% DCI-P3 color with factory calibration precise enough to skip tweaking the settings, paired with a blazing-fast 4K 165Hz display and a 0.03ms response time for buttery-smooth action. Universal adaptive sync support keeps screen tearing at bay, no matter your graphics card, while dual HDMI 2.1 ports ensure current-gen consoles hit full resolution and frame rates, alongside DisplayPort and USB hub options.

If the 32-inch is Alienware's answer to "make it beautiful," the 25-inch is Alienware's answer to "make it disappear." This is a monitor for people who consider 1080p a feature, not a limitation — because at 560Hz, resolution isn't the bottleneck, your reaction time is.

That 560Hz number is Alienware's fastest ever, paired with QD-OLED's 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time and a DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR13.5) connection running at full bandwidth with zero DSC — nothing standing between your click and the pixel changing color.

Alienware calls it a generational leap over the TN panels that have dominated esports desks for years, backed by zero backlight bleed and 1,500-nit peak brightness.

Built with Team Liquid, not just for them

Pro players from Team Liquid had direct input throughout development, and it shows in details that read like a wishlist from people who've actually LAN'd for a living.

The telescopic stand gets a 155mm adjustment range — with height and rotation markers so players can replicate their exact setup at any venue or LAN party. The base is small and rotatable, freeing up desk space for a keyboard angled diagonally underneath instead of squared off.

There's a dedicated esports button to instantly swap between 4:3 and 3:2 aspect ratios mid-session, plus a rear-flip headset hanger to keep peripherals off the desk entirely. Even the tilt range got the competitive treatment, with a generous 45-degree rear tilt for whatever posture gets you locked in.

Designed to survive the long haul

Speed and image quality don't mean much if the panel degrades one season in, so burn-in protection gets the same longevity treatment as its sibling monitor. A graphite sheet disperses heat across the panel, an AI algorithm mitigates burn-in pixel-by-pixel, and pixel shift plus pixel refresh round out the defenses — all backed by the same 3-year warranty with OLED burn-in coverage.

Specs

The Alienware 25 560Hz boasts an insanely fast 560Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time, paired with DisplayPort 2.1 to drive full uncompressed bandwidth without needing Display Stream Compression. The matte anti-glare coating keeps reflections at bay under harsh tournament lights, while the OLED panel delivers standard-setting visual punch with infinite contrast.

Both monitors are VESA-certified for deep, true blacks and striking HDR contrast: the 25-inch 560Hz QD-OLED hits DisplayHDR True Black 600 for punchier peak highlights, while the 32-inch 4K model pairs DisplayHDR True Black 400 with Dolby Vision for dynamic, scene-by-scene precision.

Pricing and availability

The Alienware 32 4K OLED arrives first, priced at $699.99, with global availability this fall. The Alienware 25 560Hz QD-OLED follows in early Q1 2027, with pricing to be announced closer to launch.

Two monitors, two totally different bets — one on eye candy, one on nanoseconds. Alienware's making the case that you shouldn't have to choose an OLED that's either gorgeous or fast. Just maybe not on the same desk.
