Alienware - AW3423DWF

Got the Alienware dwf 34” recently and it’s amazing. First oled, and the colors are amazing. For racing it’s nice and have a good FOV imo. I notice racing at 60fps is less smooth than 165fps, didn’t test inbetween, so maybe the cap of difference is lower than 165hz. Saw a somebody comparing and they said that after 140hz they didn’t notice a difference anymore (tested 60, 140, 244). I got my monitor from amazon returns. You get good discounts on good as new products. In my case the box was opened (it looked shit) but nothing was wrong with the monitor itself, still got 30% discount. I also have 2 year warranty as normal for new monitors.

[2 main ones are the AW3423DWF and the G85SB.](https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcmonitor/comments/1h2h5uf/dell_alienware_aw3423dwf_vs_samsung_odyssey_oled/) I agree that the Alienware has better software and overall build quality from my experience. There is a newer gen that just got announced, but the AW3423DWF is like $650 now and super worth it.

I started off with a VA panel (AOC CU34G2X) then upgraded to an OLED Alienware 34" - yes the OLED is better in many ways but the VA panel was great and I didn't really notice too much smearing. I used it both for work and gaming. I'm actually using both 34 inch monitors right now and both are fine for everyday tasks and I play games on the OLED. The OLED though - man, it's like playing a different game.

Im still using my qd oled 3440x1440 ultra wide 165 alienware. I also have a 77 in 144hz 4k qd oled tv and that works plenty for most games. Depends on what monitors you already have but for me, I'll wait till the teck gets better. My dream monitor is not out yet

I really like my AW3423DWF but I wouldn't say it gives a huge advantage because it's wide. Maybe a tiny bit more immersion? I'd prioritize a 1440p OLED.

Realistically, the curve of the monitor is fantastic. Loved the small curve on my AW34DWF. Would like to see it more - where I sit, it'd be nice. 5K2K is probably perfect, especially with DLSS. And the peak brightness? Doesn't really matter to me if QD-OLED or WOLED, the picture quality will be good.

I used a 3440x1440 qd-oled monitor for years and it was a great experience, but when I upgraded my gpu to be able to push a 4k 240hz monitor I made the switch. It was an adjustment at first, but I can confidently say that I prefer the 32" 4k at this point. It actually takes up more of my field of vision and the added clarity is great

I‘m asking me the same question for a few days. Right now I got the Alienware AW3423DWF 34 inch QD-OLED here and it is amazing for games like WoW. But not as much for console games as you get black borders with the 16:9 aspect ratio.

I have an ultrawide 34in Alienware oled. Only complaint is that it’s only 165hz. I think they just released a new version that’s 240h though. Some people say ultrawide is bad for fps games but I’ve never had an issue and had really good ranking in marvel rivals and a high kd in Warzone.

I have alienware 34 inch 2025 ultrawide, as good as ultra wide is I am waiting for 4k tandem oled 27 inch in trueblack glossy. The ultrawide qd oled panels are just too dim and not keen on semi gloss (night time non issue) I have 2 TVs at home I play on more 65 inch oled/mini led and prefer 4k. I was considering 5k2k 34 inch when released next year but matt screen and the colours are weaker then qd oled or tandem woled
