Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ever since i stared building pcs, in 2016, ive been chasing the best image quality. I started gaming on a 1080 tv, then a 4K TV/1080 laptop monitor, then a 2K ultrawide, then a 4K curved VA. No matter how much I upgraded the pc and improved the performance, i always found the image quality to be lacking. Dont get me wrong, ive seen some beautiful screenshots, and amazing performance, but i always felt the colors looked washed out on some monitors compared to others and would sometimes see a ghosting effect, which i pretty much accepted as normal. Then along came OLEDs. I joined a pc group and it made me hungry for more. I ended up trading my crappy 5800x/4070ti build and a 3060 laptop for a 7900x/7900 xtx build that came with an “LG OLED” monitor. The pc checked out but the LG was a 32 inch 2K curved VA. I was beyond devastated. Then the Pc group members would not shut up about this monitor. Im cheap and thought my wife would kill me so i avoided buying this monitor. I ended up renting a samsung 65inch s90c OLED to get a feel for the tech and it absolutely blew me away. I instantly sold my va monitor, however the tv was way too big to be used in a normal desk setting. My family and rommates moved to a bigger house and i got more space so i hung the tv on the wall to use as a tv and needed a new monitor. I had a super old asus rog strix monitor but i realized it didnt even have hdr10 or freesync and it just paled in comparison to the OLED tv. I bought the bugdet AOC curved monitor with the specs i required but the ghosting was SO bad. Tbf i may have not calibrated it properly but it was horrible even compared to the LG i just sold. I returned it and started doing research and ordered two more monitors but canceled after i realized i wasnt getting 1000 nits with an IPS/VA under the price of this monitor and it was super cheap for black friday/cyber monday so i pulled the trigger. Its absolute EVERYTHING i wanted in a monitor. Colors POP off the screen, no ghosting or pixel to be found, it was curved and not a VA. The ultrawide format is a little iffy, but almost all games support it and the ui on the edges of the screen make it so immersive! The few games that dont have it can be modded but takes a bit of time so there is that. If you are like me and are constantly chasing the best image quality, this monitor is a MUST have. Ive spent alot of money of top end components to get the best performance, but i think i may have been happy with even a mid range setup and this monitor. So if you dont think its worth spending big money on your monitor, think again. If your budget is slim and you are thinking of getting the best of the best gpu and a terrible monitor, you will regret it. So if you have any hesitation about this monitor blowing you away then i can safely say you can toss then out the window, and remember, hesitation is defeat.

I wanted to give ultrawide a try. I was a bit skeptical at first going down to 1440p from a 4k LG C2. I'm glad to report that the difference in resolution is neglible. I dare say that this monitor beats the C2 in gaming. The colors just POP. I can't wait to replay some of my favorite games in this immersive ultrawide format. Once you go Ultrawide you don't go back! 16:9 now feels like 4:3 lol.

Best OLED gaming monitor hands down. Perfect blacks, vibrant colors, great build quality. I picked this over the LG 27gr95qe-b for several reasons. -You basically get 2 screens worth of display for the same price. -I play single player games so 165hz is plenty (if u play FPS , sure the LG w/ 240hz 0.03ms is unbeatable). - More immersion from ultrawide + curved Cons: -The settings joystick didn't work at first , but Best Buy let me switch it out for a new one - no hassle. - Text fringing due to the sub pixel layout - but honestly I have to put my face way close to even notice it - doesn't bother me

I genuinely love this monitor. You can't go wrong with OLED. The missing star from a full 5-star rating is due to: * Possibility of burn-in. That anxiety along with recommended every 4-hour usage pixel refresh run. I know they have an amazing 3-year burn-in protection. But that cloud over my head is still somewhat annoying. So I have to hide my toolbar and move all shortcuts to a secondary monitor. Along with using a live wallpaper to give this monitor the best chance to last and not have any burn-ins. * Because it's Quantum Dot configuration OLED, funny green and red lines around the screen and box display are a bit annoying. But you'll get used to it after awhile. Overall, it's a perfect size and curve for gaming. Rich color. Good enough refresh rate. Especially when it's on-sale for $699 or $799. It's an amazing value.

First, hands down if your in the market for a OLED monitor this is the model to get. Several companies all use this exact screen, but the Alienware AW3423DWF is the QD-OLED you want. Now heres how to save you money if your not constantly buying PC tech etc. 1)DO NOT buy this monitor for anything above $799! ($799 is what the regular sale price is for this model. What that means is every two weeks or so Bestbuy will say they are having a sale and this monitor will be $799. Then they raise the price back up to $999. It has switched back and forth 3 times in the last 2 months just to give you an idea. So only buy this when its at the $799 price point. 2) This monitor absolutely supports Nvidia GSYNC. Do NOT pay an extra $150 just to buy the Alienware "Nvidia premium" model. Not only does your Nvidia graphics card work with the "AMD PREMIUM" model, it supports the NVIDIA features such a GSYNC, etc. I saw a salesman tell a older guy he needed to order the nvidia branded version of this monitor in order for it to work with his computer which is 100% a lie. Buy this model AW3423DWF, its over $100 cheaper, supports Gsync etc., and it allows you to upgrade its firmware which the other version does not for some reason. Hope that helps some of you who aren't used to constantly upgrading and building computers.

Had this montitor for about a month. Getting an oled was probably the best decision I made. I play Call of Duty and Valorant and it looks great. Oleds are better in darker environments and the colors pop out more. This is a huge upgrade from my 24inch asus. It's recommended for gaming but I use it for work as well. The monitor is expensive but if can afford to buy it, I would recommend.

TLDR: Phenomenal monitor for gorgeous 1440 gaming and screen real-estate. The size is also great for productivity work, just be mindful of text Fringing if you're doing mainly productive graphic design work as this could effect font creation and other graphic design element accuracy. With pixel/panel refresh warnings and a 3 year warranty for burn-in, you can purchase this amazing monitor worry free! My Experience: I picked up this monitor on sale for $800, but after setting it all up and using it, I would have easily paid the full $1,000 price tag. This thing is absolutely stunning! I play a lot of FFXIV and having the extra screen real-estate on the sides is great for MMO raiding. The colors on this QD-OLED monitor are gorgeous. The HDR colors are great to look at. I gave my old 32" Dell 1440 curved monitor to my girlfriend, which is was an upgrade for her. But man, after setting mine up and going into her room to help her set it up, I realized how much of an upgrade I really made. Addressing the Issues on the web: - Out of the box it looks great, but after watching a few set up videos to adjust my settings and download all the updates, it got even better. The benefit of this monitor over the AW3423DW is that this monitor allows for updates. So issues can be corrected over time. The main complaint about the other monitor was you didn't have that option. Also for those with an Nvidia gpu, like me, it works great. Though advertised as an AMD monitor, G-Sync and DLSS works great on it. - The main concern with OLED tech is the risk of burn in. The monitor itself has a lot of safeguards for this, including Pixel and Panel refresh warnings. This along with the generous 3 year warranty (which includes burn in) make this a worry free purchase. Just be mindful of moving static images from time to time and you should be fine! - I will say, as a Web Developer, there is some text fringing when coding. However, it's only really noticeable if you're really close or really zoomed in. As someone who works with code for development and lot's of fonts for design, it hasn't been an issue for me. Again, it's there, but I can look past in for what I'm getting on the gaming side. However, if you're someone who is using this monitor mainly for designing fonts, graphic design, etc., just keep the text fringing in mind. Watch some videos on the subject.

This is probably the best monitor I’ve owned. I purchased this monitor after all the recommendations from friends and reviews. The sister model to this one was rated as the best overall monitor on Rtings.com. The picture quality is absolutely beautiful, colors are vivid and bright, motion is silky smooth, and the black levels are unbeatable. I currently have an LG OLED TV for the past four years and fell in love, so decided to go ahead and purchase an OLED monitor and have zero regrets. Im coming from a Samsung G6 and this is a huge upgrade. As for burn in concerns, there’s many features that help mitigate this, and Dell provides a 3 year warranty against burn in. It’s expensive, but HIGHLY recommended.

I came from a 27” 1440p IPS monitor. I thought the IPS was a huge leap in quality for the $550 I spent a few years back. But wow, OLED is a game changer, so is an ultrawide. This monitor is worth every penny, I could never go back. The HDR is truly amazing.

Easily the best monitor I've owned so far. I own an LG OLED TV so I expected going in that an OLED monitor should be on par picture quality-wise. The addition of the QD on this monitor makes bright areas pop much more nicely. The PIP is also great for allowing 2 simultaneous connections, one from my laptop and the other from my desktop, so it's like having 2 screens without the border bezels. Refresh rates are great, and the curve is much more subtle than the Odyssey which to me is a great thing.

Just the right size and dimension to experience ultrawide OLED display gaming. Both me and my older brother got one. Best decision ever.

If youre looking at this monitor BUY IT! It has absolutely beautiful 4k picture, and its the perfect size for your desk not small but not overly massive! I went through this and the Samsung Odyssey monitors. Had both for 1 year each. The alienware has by far in my opinion out done that monitor and for cheaper!! Definitely the best buy for my PC build!

Best monitor I've ever used. OLED color reproduction and contrast are one thing, but the speed of this monitor or OLED tech in general just makes it perfect. I have mine in a monitor arm so it's not too close to my face and text looks just fine. I know a lot of people are concerned about the sun pixel layout but it's good enough for me! This is coming from a Samsung Odyssey G9 early adopter, I prefer the size of the Alienware AW3423DWF!

The Alienware QD-OLED monitor is like diving into a visual symphony. Its Quantum Dot OLED display brings every pixel to life, painting scenes with breathtaking colors that dance across the screen. Imagine the deepest blacks meeting vibrant hues, creating an immersive experience that's as vivid as stepping into another world. It's a masterpiece, offering unparalleled picture quality that elevates gaming, movies, and creative work to an entirely new level of brilliance.

Phenomenal display. Everything works seamlessly. Great HDR, amazing color accuracy, 165hz refresh rate is silky smooth, buttons and UI are easy to use. Great design with plenty of ports and cable routing behind the display that keeps cables out of sight. Have not had the display long enough to say anything about burn-in but I can say I have peace of mind with the Dell warranty that does cover burn-in.

I rarely leave product reviews but in this instance, I wanted to take a moment to try and help those that may have had similar concerns. I purchased (2) of these for use in an office setting, in an office that has one entire wall of floor to ceiling windows, so brightness and glare were my primary concerns and I am happy to report it has been no issue at all. Out of the box, the units I deployed were set at 75% brightness and I've had to reduce the brightness to 65% for daily use (may go dimmer yet). Now to general stuff: - Unboxing and assembly is about as easy as it gets, no tools required. - I will echo other's comments concerning the "ample" size of the support stand. Be prepared for the feet to stick out the front of the monitor by 4-5". The front of the screen will be about 9-10 inches out from the wall/back of your desk. The stands are reasonably sturdy, adjustments are fluid and the range of motion is adequate for almost any scenario. Reminded me of the fantastic corporate grade Dell monitor stands from about 10 years ago. - As to performance, visually, the monitors perform better than my LG C1. I am not a gamer, so I can't comment on response times but the color reproduction and intensity is practically unrivaled. I use them with a Lenovo G-Series Laptop, which sports a claimed Pantone calibrated mini-LED display. which frankly, doesn't hold a candle to the Alienware. - Includes a myriad of different cords but excludes a plain old HDMI-HDMI cord. While I remain concerned with burn-in over the long run and the admittedly high cost, I am pleasantly surprised with their performance thus far.

Best monitor I have ever games on. I love ultra wide monitors and was on the fence about going OLED. Ended up pulling the trigger and have not been disappointed. The picture is beautiful, crisp, and clean. The refresh rate is great and the ability to update firmware on the v2 monitor is worth its weight in gold! Color accuracy was fairly spot on out of the box, the features are great and the set up was a breeze. I love this panel! I will never go back to a VA or IPS panel.

Upgraded from a 32” curved monitor. Everything looks beautiful in this monitor, FFXIV, COD, TLOU, Starfield. Running AMD 7800xt with this and everything runs pretty smooth. I use this monitor 70/30 work to gaming. Per reviews burn in is not a huge concern given the warranty.

I absolutely love this monitor. I think after the hardware updates this monitor is truly a full OLED PC gaming experience worth breaking the bank for. I’ve tried 4K monitors prior to this and this Alienware OLED 3440x1440p resolution is outstanding. Also due to it being 1440p, most games run it even better than 4k resolution. I highly recommend this monitor to anyone in the market for Ultrawide gaming or just want something more upscale and immersive.

Great monitor! For $650-$799, it is the best choice in the market currently (May 2024). I also use a 42" C2 WOLED as a PC monitor, and the colors on QD-OLED are noticeably more vibrant. However, it does have an issue of producing raised blacks when light is shining directly on, or near the monitor. So QD-OLED and WOLED trade blows overall. But due to the limited availability of WOLED in this form factor and price range, I think this is a great option if you can control the lighting in your room. If you are using the monitor in a bright room, I would definitely go with a WOLED panel, either the 42 C2/C3 if you can fit that in your space, or possibly consider spending more money on a WOLED panel in a smaller form factor, by LG. If your office/space is within a dark room, go QD-OLED if you would like more vibrant colors. But there are basically no options at the sub $1000 price point other than this monitor, the Samsung G8 (which is the same panel but no 3 year warranty). Overall I am satisfied and I do recommend this monitor, just know which type of OLED panel would be the best option for your space!
