I’ve never had a 1440p monitor before or an ultra wide aspect ratio.. it’s awesome!
The QD OLED is vibrant and the pre configured presets for color and illumination settings are great. I find vibrant presets match games perfectly since it has true blacks.
In case no one tells you sooner ANY light that comes into the monitor will make it look like a normal monitor when it is on with blacks. So fret not thinking you left it on or it is in some setting.
The “don’t bother me just do it when it’s idle” pixel refresh works great and updating the monitor firmware is painless through the display port cable.
Overall 10/10 so glad I splurged on this monitor instead of others. Very user friendly.
The only con worth noting is for those who want to split picture. The monitor will lower the refresh rate and won’t be 165Hz anymore. Unless you do it through third party software on the PC instead with single cable.

Pretty good monitor, but the quality control issues are pathetic. I got a model with the “newer” packaging (aug 2024 manufacturing date) and it came with a flimsy piece of plastic over the screen opposed to an actual screen protector most other companies use. This caused the unit to arrive with scratches on it. Unacceptable for a monitor of this price.
Contacted Dell customer support and was told warranty does not cover this despite other Amazon customers having much difference experiences.
Terrible QC, terrible support, will never buy another alienware product. At least they make it easy to put back in the box so you can get rid of it. I bought an asus oled as a replacement and it came flawless with zero scratches.

I love this monitor and can’t say enough good things about it!! Excellent colour reproduction inky blacks and exceptional response time make this a great gaming monitor. The only thing to know is that oleds can suffer from vrr flickering when using freesync/G-sync and a game that’s has lots of frame rate changes. To combat this at least on nvidia cards is to turn on G-sync and in the nvidia control panel select V-sync and the flicker is greatly reduced. I’m not 100% why but there are articles about how V-sync with G-sync work together and you won’t get crazy input lag or smearing of textures in motion. The other issue is pixel burn in but if you use the built in settings for pixel refresh and don’t mind taking a 6-8 min break every 4 hours burn in won’t be a problem

I rolled with dual Dell 27″ IPS monitors for about 5-6 years, and I loved them. My young daughter spilled milk in one of those monitors, so it was time for a new setup. I decided to upgrade to the 32-34″ range to pair with my other 27″. I did a ton of research, and wanted to keep it below $400, so I bought the Asus VG3A series, a VA panel. While the screen real estate and high refresh rates were great, the panel and color reproduction were very much “meh” compared to even my older IPS panels. It just felt “hollow”. Not to mention I plug my speaker system into my monitors because I often switch PC’s between work and personal, and the audio out connection had a ton of feedback.
I decided to just try an OLED monitor to see what the difference would be, and even though the Alienware is significantly more expensive, I simply can’t go back. The colors, clarity, settings, construction and connectivity are incredible.
Attached are images compared to my high-end laptop screen and 27″ IPS. The contrast, colors, and clarity are just amazing. I am a software developer (not a gamer), so the deep blacks and color accuracy make working in editors extremely pleasant. If there was one complaint, the text isn’t quite as sharp as I would like (mainly dark text on light backgrounds) due to a side effect of OLED technology, but you get used to it. I also tempted my fate by ordering “Used – Acceptable” from Amazon to save several hundred dollars, and to be honest it appears to be completely unused. All original packaging items were present, and the screen/panel didn’t even have a single fingerprint.
All in all, it seems that I prefer Dell monitors, and this Alienware does not disappoint. Even though I paid several hundred dollars more than I wanted, you get what you pay for. And if your livelihood is staring at monitors for 6-8 hours a day like me, it’s completely worth it.

So I got this monitor as an upgrade from a 1080p 360Hz IPS Alienware, snagging it for $650 on sale. It’s truly a “jack of all trades” that excels in both competitive and casual gaming. You get OLED’s phenomenal image quality with deep blacks and vibrant colors that make games like Red Dead Redemption 2 look great. At the same time, it offers near-instant response times and super-clear motion clarity, which is great for competitive FPS. The 1440p resolution and high refresh rate make spotting enemies easier, and aiming feels natural.
With new 480Hz OLED variants hitting the market, you might wonder about the refresh rate. I haven’t tested anything above 360Hz, but I’d imagine there’s a subtle yet tangible difference. However, if you can find this monitor at a good price, the balance of features still makes it a solid pick, especially since newer tech often comes at a premium.
The build quality is nice, with some RGB on the back that can be customized (or turned off). While I didn’t use the stand, it appeared to be of decent quality. The monitor itself is sleek and doesn’t scream “gamer,” which I like. It blends well into an office setting, though you can tell it’s a premium product even from a distance. There’s a slight purple-ish tint to the coating, and if there’s light in the background, it doesn’t reflect the best, which can impact image quality and blacks slightly. Be mindful of light sources if you get this monitor. It’s also a bit of a fingerprint magnet, but it comes with a cloth that works well for cleaning. On the plus side, there’s a 3-year burn-in warranty. I can’t speak on Alienware/Dell’s customer service as I haven’t had to deal with them, but the peace of mind is nice.
The monitor does have quirks, mostly related to the OLED panel. You’ll need to run a 5-minute pixel refresh every few hours to prevent burn-in. This isn’t particularly invasive but can cause some anxiety during long gaming sessions. Brightness has been perfectly fine for my dim room setup at 95%, but if you play in a brighter room, you might want to reconsider. As someone who was initially worried about brightness, I’ve found it to be fine. The HDR implementation is good, offering both HDR 1000 and HDR “True Black” (400) modes. You can switch between these directly from the OSD, with HDR 1000 working best in darker games and True Black being better for desktop use and brighter titles.
There are some minor text clarity issues due to the QD-OLED subpixel layout, though adjusting ClearType and OSD sharpness helps. You can’t use DLDSR/DSR above 240Hz due to DSC requirements, but these are minor inconveniences rather than deal-breakers. For settings, I’d recommend the “Creator” mode preset and enabling 10-bit color. The monitor also includes features like customizable crosshairs and a dark stabilizer. However, the dark stabilizer is less effective on this OLED panel compared to traditional LCDs due to OLED’s true blacks.
Overall, if you can catch this monitor at a decent price and don’t mind some OLED-specific quirks, it’s worth the premium for anyone wanting a single monitor that can do it all. You don’t really sacrifice much with this monitor. Just do your research on OLED technology and its characteristics before pulling the trigger. While the improved image quality and color make the quirks worth dealing with, it’s important to know what you’re getting into.

I’m absolutely delighted with this monitor. The image quality, black levels, color, response time and Gsync are perfect. Games absolutely explode off the screen in the dark, making a window into the game world for total immersion.
In recent years I have gotten bored with ‘flat gaming’ and prefer VR. This monitor rekindled my love of flat games and has made me revisit old favorites, start backlog games.. I am blown away by it.
It wakes and sleeps perfectly, it doesn’t have any weird quirks. It just disappears into my desk and is the absolute perfect monitor for games and work.

Product has a poor screen coating that is prone to damage and scatches. Monitor image quailty is good with high refresh rate.

The Alienware AW3423DWF Curved Monitor is, without a doubt, one of the best gaming monitors I’ve ever owned. From the moment I set it up, I could tell this was going to be a game-changer. It boasts a 34-inch QD-OLED display that brings a level of depth and color accuracy that’s nothing short of spectacular. Whether I’m playing fast-paced action games or exploring visually rich open-world environments, this monitor delivers an immersive experience like no other.
Design and Build Quality
The design is sleek and modern, in line with Alienware’s signature style. The monitor’s ultra-thin bezels make it a perfect fit for a multi-monitor setup, though the display itself is so wide that I don’t feel the need for a second screen. The 1800R curvature provides an excellent balance between immersion and comfort, drawing me into the action without overwhelming my field of vision. It’s easy to adjust the height, tilt, and swivel, so I was able to find the perfect viewing angle quickly. The build quality feels solid and premium, as expected from Alienware.
Display and Performance
Now onto the heart of the matter—the display. The 3440x1440p QD-OLED panel offers exceptional clarity, making even the smallest details in games or movies stand out. Colors are vivid and vibrant, and the blacks are truly deep, which is where this monitor really shines compared to traditional LED displays. The HDR performance is stunning, creating a dynamic contrast that enhances every scene.
What really impressed me was the 165Hz refresh rate combined with Adaptive Sync. The gaming experience is buttery smooth with no screen tearing or ghosting, even in high-motion games like Call of Duty and Cyberpunk 2077. The 0.1ms response time makes a noticeable difference in fast-paced shooters, providing a competitive edge. Additionally, the 1000-nit peak brightness for HDR content makes it perfect for both dark and brightly lit rooms, making every in-game moment look as realistic as possible.
Connectivity and Features
The Alienware Command Center makes it easy to tweak settings to your liking. I was able to fine-tune the color accuracy and customize the lighting settings with ease. It also comes with multiple connectivity options, including two HDMI ports, DisplayPort, and a USB hub, ensuring I can plug in all my peripherals without a hitch.
One of my favorite features is the AlienFX lighting—it’s customizable and adds a nice touch to my gaming setup. While it’s not necessary for performance, it certainly enhances the overall aesthetics, especially during late-night gaming sessions. The on-screen display (OSD) is intuitive and offers plenty of customization, whether I’m adjusting brightness, contrast, or enabling game-specific presets.
Final Thoughts
In summary, the Alienware AW3423DWF is an absolute powerhouse for gaming and productivity alike. The combination of the ultra-wide curved display, QD-OLED technology, and high refresh rate creates a gaming experience that is both visually stunning and incredibly responsive. Alienware has truly delivered with this monitor, and I can confidently say it’s well worth the investment for serious gamers or anyone who wants the best in visual performance.
If you’re looking for a monitor that can handle anything you throw at it—whether it’s competitive gaming, content creation, or just enjoying cinematic visuals—this is the one to get. Absolutely incredible and worth every penny!
