Display, power consumption, dimensions, technologies used, connections, certifications, comfort features. All these keywords can be relevant for a purchase decision, but an exact comparison is often difficult. For this reason, we will summarize as many of the mentioned specifications as possible in an understandable form in the course of this article. Let's start with the most important component of the Alienware AW5520QF from Dell.
Display
The monitor belongs to the device class 54 inches ( 1.3869999999999998 m on the diagonal). Let's keep it short and sweet. The monitor has an aspect ratio of 1.778 : 1. In addition to the aspect ratios and the specified screen diagonal, some enthusiasts may also be interested in the ratio between the monitor surface and the actual display. This ratio describes the general relationship between non-display and display. In other words, approximately 93.6 % of the front surface of the monitor consists of the display, while the rest consists of screen edges and cannot display an image. When setting up several monitors next to each other, it is advisable to give preference to models with the narrowest possible edges. The display is a OLED panel. The panel has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 px. The pixel density is 80 ppi. The pixel pitch is 0.315 mm. The continuous possible brightness specified by the manufacturer Dell is 130 nt. Above all, bright environments are a challenge for monitors. The brightness of the monitor is crucial for an accurate and color-true reproduction of the image to outshine the ambient light. The panel of the Alienware AW5520QF shines with a brightness of 400 nt. The built-in panel ensures stable color reproduction of the image, even at deviating viewing angles, by means of its 120 ° (horizontal) viewing angle. Dell promises stable color reproduction moreover within a 120 ° vertical angle. The refresh rate is horizontally seen at the Alienware AW5520QF 27 khz to 269 khz. Vertically, however, the image renews at a minimum rate of 40 hz up to 120 hz. The minimum response time of the monitor is ms. The display panel is Anti-glare/Matte (2H).
Color space
The panel has a bit depth of 10 per color channel, but what does that mean? The number of bits determines how many colors can be encoded for the individual pixels of the display. For an 8-bit panel, for example, this is 256 different colors (2^8 = 256). However, since we usually display three different colors per pixel at the same time, in theory about 16 million (256^3) different colors are possible by mixing the three pixels. A 10-bit panel could even display a billion colors. According to the manufacturer, the coverage of the DCI-P3 color space is 98 %.
Contrast ratio
Contrast ratio is a common measurement used to represent the maximum relative differences in brightness between black and white. It describes the ability of a screen or projector to produce a high-contrast image and is the quotient of the maximum and minimum displayable luminance. The higher the values are away from each other, the stronger the quantitatively seen difference between black and white is set up, which in turn results in an improved image quality. This monitor from Dell has a static contrast ratio of 130000 : 1 , according to the manufacturer.
HDR
The monitor supports all HDR modes listed here:
screen design
Dell Specifies the following dimensions for the monitor Alienware AW5520QF without stand/feet: 71.7 cm x 1.225 m x 8 cm (HxWxD)
If you want to place the monitor described here on the desk without a wall mount, you should allow for 77 x 1.225 x 26.3 m (HxWxD) of space. The device weighs in total (i.e. also measured with the stand) 26.1 kg. The monitor Alienware AW5520QF without the stand weighs 25.5 kg. This weight reduction should be taken into account for wall or arm mounting, since monitor arms have a maximum load capacity. Speaking of weight without a stand and thus wall or table mounts. The monitor supports a Vesa mounting.
Rotate, tilt and swivel
The monitor from Dell cannot be rotated. The monitor cannot be swiveled. This feature could be retrofitted with a third-party stand. A tilt function was not provided by Dell with the included stand.
Ports
camera
This monitor does not have a camera.
Loudspeaker
The monitor from Dell has integrated speakers, for playing sounds, music or speech. The sound is emitted via 2 speakers, which are integrated into the device. Each of the built-in speakers has a contingent of 14 w power.
Features
- AMD FreeSync: By dynamically synchronizing the refresh rate of the Alienware AW5520QF with the frame rate, AMD FreeSync minimizes judder and ensures smooth and enjoyable gameplay.
- Nvidia G-SYNC
WiFi / Bluetooth
Power consumption
The average consumption was given by Dell as 100 w. The maximum power consumption (peak) specified for this monitor is 390 w. In standby mode, the device consumes approximately 0.5 w. When switched off, on the other hand, the monitor consumes only 0.3 w. In ECO mode, the monitor consumes 84.75 w. The monitor can be operated on a 110v power supply. The monitor can be operated on a 220v power supply. There are 4.5 amps specified. The power grid has to supply a frequency of 50 hz to 60 hz.
Environment
The maximum height at which the monitor may be operated, according to the manufacturer's specifications, is 5 km. For temperature, the maximum permissible ambient temperature is 40 °C. Below a temperature of 0 °C , the monitor from Dell should again not be used. The humidity must not exceed 80 percent. At least, however, 10 percent humidity. The monitor may be stored at a maximum humidity of 90 percent. The minimum humidity during storage should not fall below 5 percent. The maximum storage temperature should be according to Dell 60 °C. Minimal were given by Dell -20 °C. According to the manufacturer, the monitor may be stored at a maximum height of 12.192 km.
