Alienware 55" 4K/120Hz OLED Monitor with Displayport 1.4

It may have gaming features that the 2019 LG OLED won't have. And if it came out today, you could use it today. HDMI 2.1 video cards are still a long ways off.
 
The Alienware not only has DP 1.4, it also has HDMI 2.1. Definitely going to be the high end gaming monitor.
 
Since the 55" LG C9 OLED will likely launch at $/£2,999, I will say the Alienware will launch at $/£3,999.
 
They are trying to profit on the gap between now and HDMI 2.1 GPU's releasing next year (presumably). Hence why they took an LG OLED panel, slapped on a DP 1.4 input (no HDR electronics) to get it out the door. The no-HDR electronics can also be there to limit the potential for burn-in for more demanding PC use/less wear and tear.

I don't think anyone was expecting it this soon. But it is a hard sell when you can get a 55" LG C9 in the US for $1500 and you get real HDR, just have to wait for GPU's to catch up.

Well to be fair, have you ever sat in front of a large display at 400 nits? It's a bit overwhelming. Playing HDR games on my LG C8 OLED can make me squint!
