    • Amazing monitor
Display Size: 34 Inches Display Resolution Maximum: 175 Hz Style: AW3423DW
I've had this monitor for a year and I can't say enough good things about it. Picture quality is fantastic. The color is fantastic and blacks are deep. HDR content in video games is amazing and makes the experience immersing. It's big without being too big so I can have a second monitor up. Having that wide game experience is great and again not being too big that I can't play competitive fps games. But if course a smaller monitor would be better for that. Great refresh rate. Cable management is great too. Has a way to help hide the wires. Multiple settings to help tweak the image but out the box is great. My only gripes are ones not exclusive to this monitor. Panel has glare so light sources will kill the immersion a bit. At night it stands out, or dim lit rooms. Screen gets spots that I've had to clean often more than other screens. Thought it was the panel bubbling. It's not, get a good screen cleaner. So no real complaints on my end. ... show more

    • Absolutely incredible.
Display Size: 34 Inches Display Resolution Maximum: 175 Hz Style: AW3423DW
Review Image by Kurtis M Kurtis M
Just not really any other way to put it. From the overall design of the monitor itself, to the picture quality, to the built in safety features to prevent any damage to the panel, this display is just killer. [Some gripes I have] Firstly the packaging it came in, though good, needs serious improvement. Primarily the wrapping it comes in leaves bubble wrap stains on the display which looks abysmal and though some reports claim they were never able to get these markings off their panels, mine came off with just a bit of screen cleaner and a good wipe. I also dislike that there's no ability to personally upgrade the firmware. This results in having to buy an entirely new panel if a better firmware becomes available and that's a bit asinine with how expensive this display is. The blacks aren't super good if you're in a bright room due to problems with ambient lighting, which could take away from the enjoyment you get from the display, so it's, in my opinion anyways, most enjoyable in a darker room which is primarily where Im using it. No HDMI 2.1 which is extremely disappointing as this hurts the ability to use this monitor in its full capacity on a gaming console. That doesn't affect me however because I have an LG 55 inch oled for just such the occasion and primarily pc game. Fortunately for me. The ultra wide aspect of this display has been.. an adjustment period as well. Although overall the quality of this is, as aforementioned, incredible, it's worth pointing out that it takes a lot of adjusting if you're coming from your typical 16:9 displays and you'll see this primarily in things like watching YouTube videos, movies, and in some video games. You especially notice the difference in one of my worst examples, the game Hell Let Loose. I absolutely cannot play it in 21:9 whatsoever. Just cannot. It's so stretched out and hideous looking that it almost made me nauseous. And that sucks primarily because that's one of my favorite games, and 16:9 leaves black bars on the sides of the game which isn't a huge deal but I digress. So expect not all your games to look ideal to you when getting this and potentially having to compromise. [Praise and tips] Frankly I just don't have anything short of absolute praise for this display. I've found the best experience to be sitting back a few feet from my desk with a controller, or my wireless mouse and keyboard upon my lap-table. I personally use HDR 400 true black over the HDR 1000 option because it truly, in my opinion of course, looks insanely better, darker, significant and more atmospheric this was especially true in the modern warfare 2 campaign. Overall I'm greatly enjoying this display, I hope it lasts me a very long time as I baby it about as much as someone could possibly recommend babying an OLED. I personally use brave browser with the darkreader extension, use windows dark theme, a Screensaver after 2 minutes of not being at my desk, I hide my Taskbar, and I make sure that in any games there's no static red anywhere. I absolutely love that after four hours of use on this panel, when shut off it'll do an automatic pixel refresh. Now that doesn't mean this panel is susceptible to any burn-in whatsoever, it is an oled panel after all..but with a lot of TLC and awareness of what you have on your display, the likeliness of it burning in is about as likely as a meteor striking your house and even if SOMEHOW you do everything I recommend and it still burns in, well Dell has your back with a three year warranty. Just make sure you register it on their website when you get the display. However, and I cannot stress this enough whatsoever, this display, much like any oled display, is probably not the ideal choice if you're somebody who works from home and sits infront of their computer for an asinine amount of time. This is pretty much ideal for gamers who game for long periods of time where stuff is happening on the screen constantly. Again though, Im loving this display, it has been nothing short of a game changer for me and leaves me excited for the future of oled monitors. I'm in no rush to upgrade my pc to a 4090 an 13900k to game in 4k 120fps, and as an owner of both a 4k oled and now this, there really isn't that HARDCORE of a noticeable difference imo and this is perfect for my current pc specs. Couldn't be happier, couldn't rate this higher, trust me you're going to want this badboy when it comes back and isn't being scalped for 1600. ... show more

    • Great buy if you can snag it while there's a lull in scalpers
Display Size: 34 Inches Display Resolution Maximum: 175 Hz Style: AW3423DW
I bought this monitor hesitantly because I usually don't want anything to do with Alienware since Dell bought them years ago out of principle and a usual dislike for all things Dell. However, I needed an OLED monitor because I deal with the medical anomaly of Visual Snow, which includes photophobia/excruciating sensitivity to white light. I'd previously bought an LED smart TV and was running that as my monitor, but, it was traditional LED with backlight which isn't ideal for my condition and lead to things looking blurry, hurting my eyes and made me feel like I needed new glasses because I keep my apartment as dark as possible due to my visual issues. Turns out, no, I didn't need new glasses, despite the size, that TV was causing me severe eye strain even though I wear blue blocker glasses. Sooo, off to searching Amazon for an OLED monitor I went, and, my dear gods, what a search. I was trying to find an OLED that was 27" because space is at a premium, but, was unable to, this was the closest I could find to meet those specs as the other "monitors" I'd seen that were OLED were double the price of this, and, furthermore, were obnoxiously huge.. there's a rant in there regarding monitor size somewhere, but, I've already gone on enough of a tangent, suffice to say, no, I wasn't looking for a 57" pc monitor or anything crazy. Then there was cost, I'd noticed that most of the smaller monitors that claimed OLED were around $3k... Yes, I could've afforded one of them, but, I don't want to be spending more on the monitor than I did on the rig I'm going to be using it for either. This monitor popped up, strangely, as a sponsored ad from amazon that was in the listing but separate, unlike all the other monitors that I was searching which would mention OLED but then, in the product description sneak in that what they were calling OLED was quantum dot on an LCD screen.... Unlike them, this monitor was the closest I could come to my specs. I understand that there seems to be a scalping issue regarding this monitor, when I bought it, it was at the $1.2k price. I hadn't anticipated paying over $1k for a monitor, but, at the same time, this was the best deal on an OLED monitor I could find, and, not to mention, one from a major company instead of a chinese knock off company. So, I bought it, it shipped via FedEx, though, which to me is a problem because, unlike any other carrier, they do not actually have a functional delivery instructions option... I live in a quadplex, it clearly is listed with apartment numbers, FedEx considers the entire property one address, so, even if I could use their delivery manager, it would attach those delivery instructions to the entire building... Especially with something this expensive, I want to make sure it gets delivered to my front door as that's my rented property, FedEx has a bad habit of delivering things to the first floor where the mailboxes are which is not my property and is an actual mis-delivery. Thankfully, though, the package was delivered to my front door and arrived ahead of schedule. The next challenge, though, was the weight... because holy mother of gods, the weight reminded me of my old CRT monitors and the package was far more awkward than them too. By contrast, my bigger LED TV's package was of course bigger, but wasn't near as heavy. It's not an issue if you live on the first floor, but, in my case there are narrow steps that go up to a t-intersection, it was not fun having to lug that thing carefully up the stairs. So, forewarning, a little bit of umph is required for moving it up or down stairs. Assembly is a cinch and shouldn't require any mechanical skills, the most complex part was screwing in the feet of the monitor stand to the monitor stand itself. Now, that stand... I want to take a moment to talk about it... I think the phrase "Graciously over-engineered in a beneficial way" is about as apt a statement as I can say about it. I'm used to manufacturers selling premium products with flimsy additions... especially with monitors, could have a great monitor, but, then you get the monitor stand unpacked and it's just a flimsy piece of plastic that'll probably break, or lead to the monitor topping over... THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH THIS MONITOR STAND. If I found myself in a fight in my house, and I had enough time to do this, I'd take the stand off the back of the monitor and use that as an improve weapon... I kid you not, it's sturdy enough that I'm pretty sure you could bash in a skull, it's definitely heavy enough. That said, some might consider the weight of the stand a no go... I don't, I see why so much attention was paid to it, it's weight is there to ensure that when you swivel your monitor or adjust height, etc, the balance is always on the stand, and the monitor's weight won't lead to issues of tipping, or moving or anything else, essentially, it was designed to let basic Newtonian physics do all the hard work of making the monitor stable and tip resistant. The stand has some wire control features that tie into the monitor, like some flanges at the back to secure the wires/cables, and a recess at the bottom of the stand for wire routing out the other side. I appreciated that feature because my room is so cable/wire undisciplined, I sometimes feel like I'm living in the storage closet for Doc Ock... having a monitor stand that at least alleviates that concern for itself is always welcomed. There's one concern that I can think of regarding the stand, and that's it's best feature, the weight, if you have a surface you're going to be placing the monitor on which has some weight concerns, check the weight of the unit in the specs above and realize most of that weight is from the stand, so, use that to factor on if it'll cause issues, if it does, a VESA mount is included, although IDK what one because I'm not using it. Now for the monitor, it had a decent amount of ports, a DP, several HDMI ports, some throughput charging USB ports at the base and a few others. My only gripe with this, though, is that the HDMI ports are 2.0 and NOT 2.1.. what that means is that if you're running your rig via HDMI to the monitor, you're locked to 100 hz or lower refresh rate, if you, like me, have a rig that is capable of 144 or higher hz, this may cause a concern or two in your mind. All I can say is that the unit comes with a G-Sync Ultimate module and the hardware to connect it that way. I need HDR, so, I stick with the HDMI for simplicity sake. As far as the monitor itself, it's plug and play, although, there are a few things you wan to adjust when you first plug it in and power it on. You access the monitor menu/OSD by a joystick at the base of the monitor, don't worry, you'll find it, it's one of the RGB components. I cannot explain it that easily, but, getting it to run in HDR mode is a bit of a odd affair, on one hand, windows is supposed to manage that, but, windows was saying the monitor doesn't support HDR... which, of course it does... the OSD menu gives you options for selecting HDR 1000 or HDR 400 True Black... but that doesn't enable HDR... In my case I think the issue is that I've got this connected to a laptop, and so, I had to shut the lid of the laptop to ensure that it wasn't reading as the primary screen. That said, the menu takes some getting used to, not bad, everything is set up intuitively mostly, but, in order to access the full menu instead of the pre-loaded shortcuts (you can change those in the regular settings) you have to flick the joystick towards you (or "up). The options are quite competent with a huge selection of modes to choose from regarding color settings. It is important to note that, at least, as of current firmware, you cannot choose the creators mode option while running the monitor in HDR, that's only available in SDR and I have no idea why. Other than that, the settings were pretty standard, some interesting additions were adding an FPS counter, and timer on-screen... To me that's a novel idea for a monitor, whether it's functional, IDK. What I do know is that I don't touch them. One "feature' I recommend turning off ASAP is Eco Mode. It's currently glitchy and can cause various issues. Now, I guess the elephant in the room is "What about burn in?" It's too early for me to say, and it's also too early for me to say if burn in affects the quantum dots too, hypothetically, since the brights are somewhat handled by the quantum dots, that should minimize burn in for the OLEDs, but, that's an unknown because this is a brand new combo of tech. There are included remedies, though, that are supposed to minimize the risk of burn-in further, namely pixel and panel refresh... Pixel Refresh prompts to allow it to run every 4 hours, during the time it's running, you will not be able to use the monitor, keep that in mind before using the joystick to click okay, for pixel refresh, the maintenance takes around 7 minutes, after which, you may find that you need to manually turn the monitor back on, not a biggie, but, once more, not ideal if you're, say, in a marathon gaming session. Panel Refresh is an older solution that was also included, don't do that unless you're about to go to bed or are going to be away from the PC for an hour, otherwise, the monitor will be unavailable for an hour. Thankfully, you do not need to run panel refresh every 4 hours, it's more like "Run it every once in a while" sort of like the De-gauss function on CRT's. I try to run pixel refresh along the prescribed 4 hours of usage thing, but, since I use my PC most of the day and night for various things including gaming, I'm not going to claim that I'm that great at keeping up with it. Now, for other things that some may be wanting to know about, but that I don't really GAF about... RGB lighting... Yes, it has it, Yes there's an option to customize each component's color, etc, yes it supports Alien sync, no I don't think it supports Aura-sync but don't know because, once more, IDGAF about RGB, aside from if something is advertised as RGB and all that it comes with are fixed LED's that are only one color... that's when I have an issue, otherwise, fancy shifting xmas lights that are fully configurable do nothing to add to performance or increase gaming skills... especially since, when I medicate with maryJ, that'd serve as a distraction... Zones are, the area in the back where the stand connects to the monitor, 2 zones for that ring, the Alienware logo on the left side (when facing the back of the monitor), the power button and the Joystick. The only 2 that are practical for me are the power button and the OSD joystick since that helps me find both in the dark. No... How is the picture? Great. OLED is wonderful in terms of accuracy of darker colors, and, conceivably, the quantum dots help to extend the color profile in ways that OLED traditionally don't. All I can say is that, though white text is still hurting my eyes, it's not near as bad, and my eyes thank me any time a black area of a game or window comes up, because it's actual black and not that annoying backlit "black". I didn't do tests on the color efficiency or anything, Linus Tech Tips and a few other reviewers did, according to them, the claim of 1k nits is true, but, it doesn't hold 1k nits as long as other monitors, or something like that, IDK... seems like the more nits there are, the more my eyes get bothered, the more agitated I get, so, I'm sticking with what I bought the monitor for, gaming with True Black. Would I suggest this monitor? If you're one of those extremely rare individuals with Visual Snow and you can afford it, yes, it's not going to make the "everything I see looks like there's film grain/static" stuff you deal with everyday, but, it will help your eyes feel more comfy in regards to light sensitivity. Otherwise, would I suggest this monitor? Yes I would, for as expensive as it seems, there's not another monitor in the price range that does the job good. So, I'm not a fan of Alienware usually, but, I will say that even though their heat discipline for pre-built pc's, and their component selection for said pre-built pc's are, in my opinion, trash, I am actually impressed by their monitors. Also, apparently, the panel manufacturer, Samsung, has some sort of exchange deal where, after 3 years if there's burn in, they'll exchange this monitor for another one... if that actually happens or not, IDK. Also, final thought, there are additional ports I didn't mention, including a physical headphone jack at the base, I don't know if it'll connect the microphone portion of a headset, though, because I haven't tested it and probably won't, I use a Skullcandy Crusher EVO head set with amazing bluetooth, hardly use the headphone jacks as a result. Oh, and, IDK why they thought this was needed, but, apparently, there's a cooling fan in the back of the monitor around where the mount is, it's internal, I didn't see it, only the exhaust fans, but have no idea why they felt they needed a fan in it... can't tell you if it's noisy or not because I haven't had it kick in, and if it did, I wasn't aware of it because I was wearing my headphones. So, if you were wondering about that aspect, there you go. ... show more
