The Alienware 34″ QD OLED Gaming Monitor Is $300 Cheaper Than the Samsung Odyssey G8 (Same Panel)

Dell is offering the 2nd generation Alienware AW3423DWF 34″ QD-OLED gaming monitor for only $899.99 after a $200 instant discount. This is a true quantum-dot OLED panel, which makes it one of the best monitors you can buy for gaming and multimedia content.

Note: Dell is one of the few manufacturers that includes OLED burn-in protection in their warranty.

34″ Alienware AW3423DWF QD OLED Gaming Monitor

The Alienware AW3423DWF is Dell’s flagship QD OLED gaming monitor. This 34″ monitor sports a 3440×1440 WQHD resolution with a 1ms response time and 165Hz refresh rate. It uses a Samsung quantum dot OLED panel. This is the same panel found in the Samsung Odyssey G8, which costs $300 more right now and also does NOT include any burn-in warranty.

Quantum dot technology produces higher peak brightness levels compared to traditional OLED TVs without losing the color accuracy and range and wide viewing angles that OLEDs are known for. The QD-OLED panel also boasts a 99.3% DCI-P3 color range and is factory calibrated with a Delta E less than 2. It is HDR True Black 400 certified (which, by the way, is a higher rating than even HDR1400) and boasts up to 1,000nits of peak brightness. QD OLEDs are one of the brightest OLEDs on the market, even brighter than the LG Evo C3.

The AW3423DWF is a second generation model that’s about $200 cheaper than the first generation AW3423DW. The lower price was made possible because it is no longer G-SYNC Ultimate certified. The AW3423DWF is still G-SYNC compatible and aside from a few other differences like color, footprint, and port layout, the monitor is largely identical.

For those of you who don’t want a true 4K gaming monitor, and there are many reasons why you shouldn’t get one, this is one of the best gaming monitors you’re going to find, period.
