The 34 inch Alienware AW3423DWF QD-OLED Gaming Monitor is a high-end 34-inch QD OLED ultrawide monitor with a 3440×1440 resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, and 0.1ms response time, featuring AMD FreeSync Pro and adaptive sync certification. The Alienware 34 Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor is designed to prevent burn-in caused by items that remain onscreen for extended periods of time. In addition, you will be covered for three years of service to ensure quality. And with ComfortView Plus, you can game for longer owing to an always-on, built-in low-blue light screen technology that decreases blue light emissions while maintaining color fidelity.
Alienware includes various gaming-oriented features in this monitor. The on-screen display (OSD) menu provides easy access to settings. Gamers can adjust colour profiles, response times, and other parameters to optimise performance. The monitor also supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility. These technologies synchronise the monitor’s refresh rate with the graphics card, reducing screen tearing and stuttering. It boasts excellent color accuracy and brightness with a peak luminance of 1000 nits, superior motion clarity with minimal blur, and impressive viewing angles, though it can exhibit some text smearing up close.
The monitor can be adjusted for height, tilt, and swivel, allowing users to find the optimal viewing angle. The stand also includes cable management features to keep the workspace tidy. The monitor includes two DisplayPorts, an HDMI 2.0 port, and various USB ports. It doesn’t have built-in speakers, so external audio options are necessary. It offers good value, particularly due to its OLED display.
Priced at around $900, it is positioned for high-end gamers looking for superior display performance. It comes with a generous burn-in warranty, making it suitable for users who frequently play games. Initially, the monitor had firmware issues, but a recent update has improved fan behavior, input latency, and OLED care features. Despite some initial issues with this model, the AW3423DW continues to serve well as a gaming monitor.
