AW3423DWF Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - 34-inch Quantum Dot OLED 0.1Ms 165Hz 21:9 Curved Display, 99.3% DCI-P3 Color Gamut, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro - Black

I’ve gone through a good number of gaming monitors over the years, but this is my first OLED—and the difference hits you immediately. The colors are incredibly vibrant, the contrast is unreal, and the deep blacks make everything look so clean and cinematic. It honestly makes my old IPS and VA panels feel washed out in comparison. The 34" ultrawide size ended up being perfect for my setup. It feels immersive without being too big, and the curve pulls you in just enough. Whether I’m gaming, watching YouTube, or streaming shows, it fills your field of view in a really natural way. For gaming specifically, this thing is a beast. Paired with my 4070 Ti, 2K ultrawide hits that sweet spot of sharp visuals and high FPS. Fast-paced games look buttery smooth, and motion handling on this OLED is noticeably better than any monitor I’ve owned before. The low input lag and high refresh rate make everything feel responsive, and HDR actually looks good on this panel—not like the fake HDR some monitors try to claim. It also has nice quality-of-life touches: easy-to-navigate settings, a clean design, and surprisingly good brightness for an OLED. I haven’t run into any issues with text clarity or burn-in so far. Overall, this is hands down the best monitor I’ve ever used. If you’re thinking about switching to OLED but unsure if it’s worth it, this model will convince you pretty quickly. Totally happy with the upgrade.

I rolled with dual Dell 27" IPS monitors for about 5-6 years, and I loved them. My young daughter spilled milk in one of those monitors, so it was time for a new setup. I decided to upgrade to the 32-34" range to pair with my other 27". I did a ton of research, and wanted to keep it below $400, so I bought the Asus VG3A series, a VA panel. While the screen real estate and high refresh rates were great, the panel and color reproduction were very much "meh" compared to even my older IPS panels. It just felt "hollow". Not to mention I plug my speaker system into my monitors because I often switch PC's between work and personal, and the audio out connection had a ton of feedback. I decided to just try an OLED monitor to see what the difference would be, and even though the Alienware is significantly more expensive, I simply can't go back. The colors, clarity, settings, construction and connectivity are incredible. Attached are images compared to my high-end laptop screen and 27" IPS. The contrast, colors, and clarity are just amazing. I am a software developer (not a gamer), so the deep blacks and color accuracy make working in editors extremely pleasant. If there was one complaint, the text isn't quite as sharp as I would like (mainly dark text on light backgrounds) due to a side effect of OLED technology, but you get used to it. I also tempted my fate by ordering "Used - Acceptable" from Amazon to save several hundred dollars, and to be honest it appears to be completely unused. All original packaging items were present, and the screen/panel didn't even have a single fingerprint. All in all, it seems that I prefer Dell monitors, and this Alienware does not disappoint. Even though I paid several hundred dollars more than I wanted, you get what you pay for. And if your livelihood is staring at monitors for 6-8 hours a day like me, it's completely worth it.

wow amazing took a little bit to figure out the settings i was almost convinced this display was as good as my IPS 4k display, but after setting HDR and inky blacks, plus color profile it turned out to be one heck of a display, cant go wrong with the price either, worth every penny

This monitor is very good , my gaming setup is in a basement environment which is ideal for this QD-OLED panel. Still working on tweaking the settings to get the best possible picture. It is an older model but at the price they were selling it for made more sense to my budget. My only disappointment is the protective screen, not the temp one that your supposed to remove, the permenant one.... tiny air bubbles. In a darkened room it's really not a issue, you really can't set it, but with all the lights on, you just can't not see them with the monitor powered off. I picked this monitor up for $500 on sale black friday , I'm not by any means a serious gamer, the 165hz refresh rate is good, it looks spectacular color wise, it serves it purpose. If you have a similar situation like mine I would not give it a second thought. But if you're purchasing this monitor for a well lit room, I'd give it a hard pass. Quality Control definitely wasn't on the agenda at the time of assembly.

Pretty amazing monitor. The need to run a pixel refresh every 4h or so is pretty annoying, but sadly that's just the nature of OLEDs. We need the next new thing beyond OLEDs to come already. Comes perfectly calibrated out of the box. Disable any and all color profiles you might have set up.

I bought this monitor and was very happy with it from both the size and OLED display. But exactly one week from setting up my monitor I saw a green vertical line across the entire screen. Initially I thought it was an OLED issue perhaps some screen burning, I used the tools that the monitor has to refresh pixels but didn't work. Throughout some googling I found out this vertical line is a display malfunction and the only way to fix it is to get it fixed. Amazon did not provide a replacement which I wanted, amazon only provided my money back, if i wanted to get this replace I had to deal with Dell. Dealing with Dell/Alienware is where this product gets a one star, dealing with them is such a headache. 1st. Dell outsources their customer service to a foreign country outside the USA, normally I dont really care about that but mix in the heavy accents plus phone call reception it is very difficult to understand what they're saying or they understanding/hearing what you're saying. 2nd. Dell has text chat which was the better option except they DO NOT communicate with each other. I had about a 1 hour text chat with them where I had to take pictures that I uploaded, pictures of serial numbers of the monitor and all this other information, initially i was ok with this as it lead to a replacement. They said they were gonna send a replacement monitor and I'll send my old monitor back. But about a week later I received a phone call from dell saying they needed information already provided to complete this return, as is this random phone call sounded very sketchy, very much a spam call. I ended the phone call and did another 1 hour ish text chat going through whats the issue. And for the second time gave them information which included my address. And again, days later i received an email asking me for my address, this would be the third time they asked me for this information, information i already gave them previously. I finally gave you and decided to return it through amazon while I still qualified for the refund window. So in short, 1 week after i got my monitor it started malfunctioning, in about 10 days since i started the replacement process I had to talk to them 3 times to give them the same information I gave them the very first time. It's a shame too because i really liked this monitor but Dell's customer service is atrocious.

Very nice quality, HDMI works great, easy to set up even for... someone as slow as me. Hooks up great to both my playstation and laptop.

His review was hilarious, but spoke very highly of the monitor. Since it was on sale for black Friday I took the plunge. Most expensive monitor I ever bought. Cost more than my processor. Worth. Every. Penny. I am currently saving to buy a 2nd to replace the Asus one for my 2nd monitor. The Asus is a same size VA model to this one. I have them one over the other on a mount and its SO clear the difference. The color, the BLACKS. Oh god the Alienware looks like light just falls into it the blacks are so dark. The contrast is amazing. Played Silent Hill 2 Remake on it, the Asus looked good, but I was scared of the dark with the Alienware. Its amazing. Though I don't use it because I have it mounted, the included stand is quite nice. Stable and adjustable. If I change my setup, it will be nice to have. I think the size is just right for an ultrawide. Not too big you need to take out new real estate to set it up, but all the wonderful space and functionality you could want.
