Dell’s Alienware has launched its much-awaited 34-inch 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor, the AW3425DW. This ultrawide monitor has high-end design in mind, making it perfect for PC and console gamers.
The Alienware AW3425DW has a 34.2-inch (868.2 mm) QD-OLED screen, which has great picture quality with a WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution and a strong 1800R curve for deeply engaging gameplay. The display’s 240Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms response time (gray to gray) make sure motion looks smooth and clear, with almost no ghosting, even in the most fast-paced games.
Its wide 178-degree viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, keep the image looking great no matter where you’re sitting. The monitor’s pixel pitch of 0.2315 mm (both horizontal and vertical) gives it a pixel density of 110 PPI, which basically helps create crisp and detailed visuals.
Color accuracy is extremely important for those who watch movies and play graphic-intensive games, and the AW3425DW does an excellent job here. It covers 99.3% of the DCI-P3 color range and has a Delta E under 2 color accuracy rating, meaning colors look natural and lifelike, so games and movies appear just as their creators intended. This is something you need to look for in a gaming monitor. HDR support includes AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, which help remove screen tearing and stuttering.
The monitor has plenty of connection options, including one DisplayPort 1.4 port (supporting up to 3440 x 1440 at 240Hz, DSC, and HDR) and two HDMI 2.1 FRL ports (also supporting up to 3440 x 1440 at 240Hz, FRL, HDR, and VRR as specified in HDMI 2.1). These HDMI 2.1 ports provide high-speed connectivity, allowing the monitor to use all its features, like Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM).
Other connection options include one USB 5Gbps Type-B upstream port, one USB 5Gbps Type-A downstream port, and one USB-C 5Gbps downstream port with 15W charging. It has adaptive sync technologies, such as NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, and VESA AdaptiveSync.
The AW3425DW’s compact base saves desk space thanks to its redesign, while 360-degree ventilation and a hidden cable management system keep the setup neat and tidy. Adjustable settings include 4.33-inch (110mm) height adjustment, tilt (-5 to +21 degrees), swivel (-20 to +20 degrees), and slant (-5 to +5 degrees), so users can set it up for maximum comfort.
The anti-reflective screen coating reduces glare, making it easier to see even in bright rooms. Picture-by-Picture (PbP) and Picture-in-Picture (PiP) functions let you multitask. The monitor works with the Alienware Command Center (AWCC) software for Windows, giving users more ways to customize and control their experience.
This is supported by built-in anti-burn-in technology, like a graphite film heatsink to help spread heat, an AI algorithm that controls electrical current for each pixel, and pixel refresh and shift features to make the display last longer. You can buy the 34-inch 240Hz QD-OLED Alienware monitor on the official Dell website for $799.99.
