Alienware AW3423DWF review: hits the mark

With first-person shooter friendly features and a frankly ridiculous set of technical specs, read our Alienware AW3423DWF review

Incredible QD OLED image quality ; Specs that bring the best out of your gaming ; Lots of customisation options

Expensive, but you get what you pay for

The Alienware AW3423DWF not only changes the game with impeccable image quality, but it’s player-friendly features will help you win it too

Dell Alienware AW3423DW Review (QD-OLED 175Hz Ultrawide)

OLED panels have been common place in the TV market for years, but it is only recently we have start

Near-instant response times.

Lack of HDMI 2.1.

The Alienware AW3423DW is a next-level display with numerous advantages over LCD panels. It has a few quirks, but for the PC enthusiast I think this is the best gaming monitor on the market right now.

Alienware 34-inch QD-OLED Monitor Review: It Brings the Pretty

This widescreen 1440p gaming monitor shows off the new panel technology by making your games look great.

Great gaming performance and quality ; Excellent color and tonal accuracy, notably in the dark shadow areas ; Nice set of controls ; Three-year warranty against burn-in

Radiates some heat through the screen ; Annoying connector arrangement and cable management

Alienware 34 QD-OLED (AW3423DW) Review

Gorgeous and sturdy design ; Beautiful picture quality in SDR and HDR ; Competitive price for the feature set ; Exceptional gamut and color coverage results ; Snappy and responsive gaming performance ; Significantly lower input lag than previous OLED...

Finicky settings will take time to get used to ; Lower peak brightness than advertised in HDR mode ; Added image presets could detract from HDR experience

The Alienware 34 QD-OLED is a fine start for this new panel technology, and it shows that with just a few more refinements to its configuration settings and performance peaks, QD-OLED could be the only display type we're playing on five years from now.

Dell Alienware AW3423DW Review

The Dell Alienware AW3423DW is the first QD-OLED monitor. QD-OLED is a new technology that aims to combine the strengths of OLED and quantum dot displays to prod...

Perfect black levels in dark rooms. 34 inch screen with 21:9 aspect ratio. No blooming around bright objects. Displays a wide range of colors in SDR and HDR. Wide viewing angles. Low input lag with high-frame-rate games. Incredible motion handling....

Light sources lower the picture quality and contrast. Can't downscale a 4k image. Input lag increases with 60 fps signals. Limited compatibility with consoles. Color fringing around windows. Aggressive ABL makes larger areas dim in HDR.

The Dell AW3423DW is excellent overall. It's excellent for gaming because it has a high refresh rate with variable refresh rate support, a near-instantaneous response time, and low input lag. It's also fantastic for dark room gaming or for watching...

Alienware AW3423DW Review: Alienware AW3423DW | Perfect Black Level, But Lacking In Image Quality.

Alienware AW3423DW is the first gaming monitor with QD-OLED. What could be better than perfect black level? Surprisingly, quite a lot.

Perfect black level and great contrast! Wide color space and neutral colors right out of the box. Ultrawide extends your field of view in games where it's supported. A refresh rate of 175 Hz provides a quick and responsive experience in fast paced...

Triangular subpixels results in color artefacts and a visible grid pattern (screen-door effect). This panel technology requires a higher resolution to avoid this. The display is also a bit small.

On paper, the Alienware AW3423DW is a splendid choice. Perfect black level with QD-OLED, a great viewing angle and an almost perfectly balanced color space. It has all the specifications of a professional monitor. On paper.

Alienware AW3423DW 34" QD-OLED Monitor Review

The Dell Alienware AW3423DW is a 34 3440x1440 OLED gaming monitor with a 175 Hz max refresh rate. It's easily the best HDR gaming monitor you can buy right now, but it's not perfect for everything.
