Alienware AW3425DW Launches in US Market
Dell has officially launched the Alienware AW3425DW in the US market. This is the monitor we’ve been hearing about, built around some seriously impressive display technology, and it’s finally ready for your battlestation.
What Makes This Monitor Stand Out
At the heart of the Alienware AW3425DW is its stunning 34-inch Gen 2 QD-OLED screen. It is not OLED; no, it is a Gen 2 QD-OLED screen with incredible colors and proper blacks. You have a 3440x1440 resolution on it, letting you sample 110 pixels per inch in density on its curvy 1800R design.
But it's good news for players. This display boasts an eye-blurringly fast 240Hz refresh rate for blur-free motion, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time, and up to 1000 nits of peak brightness (nominally at a 3% APL or Average Picture Level, which is great for highlighting bright areas of HDR content).
Besides, it supports major adaptive sync technologies including AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Nvidia G-Sync, and VESA AdaptiveSync to minimize screen tearing and stuttering for a smooth gaming experience.
Connectivity and Availability
Configuring your setup is easy with the AW3425DW. It has two HDMI 2.1 (FRL) and one DisplayPort 1.4. Dell has also included an easy three-port USB hub.
So how exactly can you acquire one. Right now, you can buy the Alienware AW3425DW directly from Dell's website in the US for $799.99. Interestingly enough, that's actually a tiny bit cheaper than its initial release price in China. For other regions like Europe, Africa, the Middle East, or even the UK, we're still waiting with bated breath for an official release date.
Considering how Dell's other Alienware QD-OLEDs have ultimately fared at third-party retailers, it wouldn't be surprising to see the AW3425DW do the same sometime in the future. But until then, Dell's website is where you'll want to go.
If you're in the States and have been shopping for a high-end QD-OLED ultrawide for gaming, the Alienware AW3425DW seems to be an extremely strong contender.
