Alienware AW3423DWF 34" QD-OLED

Overview

To summarize the positive changes we're seeing here, the new DWF variant has a much quieter fan with a better fan curve, lower input lag for SDR and HDR gaming, several new OSD features, user upgradeable firmware, small SDR accuracy improvements and a new all-black design that I personally prefer. It's also the cheaper of the two at just $1,100, a $200 discount attributable to swapping the G-Sync module for a traditional scaler.

The Alienware AW3423DWF improves on its predecessor, yet slashes the price by $200 to just $1,099. In short: The best ultrawide gaming monitor money can buy is even better than before.

With a lower price and nearly identical performance to the original, the AW3423DWF is the gaming monitor to beat.

The Alienware AW3423DWF QD-OLED gaming monitor is lighter and thinner than its predecessor. Though it's a minor update, the inclusion of HDMI 2.1 support is appreciated — especially for console players. This is still a rock-solid gaming monitor.

The Dell Alienware AW3423DWF is one of the best gaming monitors available. It undercuts the AW3423DW model by $200 yet offers virtually identical image quality and performance, as well as additional features.

The Alienware AW3423DWF’s QD-OLED panel delivers a stunning picture that’s on another level from even the very best LCD panels. With super smooth motion and very low input lag, it’s hard to imagine a better gaming monitor.

The Alienware AW3423DWF is a fine choice if you want QD-OLED ultrawide awesomeness at a slightly lower price point. It has a few penalties compared to the G-Sync Ultimate version, but it is just as good in the aspects that matter most. It’s well-built and designed, so it should be a good investment that will last a while.
