Until now, 360 hertz was the fastest a hardcore gamer could get out of his laptop display. Now Alienware is advancing with two notebooks with 480 hertz.

Furthermore, a grey-to-grey response time of 3 milliseconds, a brightness of 300 nits and an sRGB colour space coverage of 100 per cent are offered. With the display, Alienware promises "smooth animations for easier target tracking, a reduction in ghosting that minimises distracting effects, and lower system latency that makes it easier to spot other players sooner."

Dell's Alienware is not likely to keep the Hertz crown for long, as a soon-to-be-released desktop monitor with 500 Hertz was already announced at Computex. It was developed in cooperation between Nvidia and Asus - the Asus ROG Swift 500 Hz.

I find my muse in everything. When I don’t, I draw inspiration from daydreaming. After all, if you dream, you don’t sleep through life.
