Dell Alienware AW3425DW 34"

Three years after the OG 34-inch ultrawide OLED from Alienware, this updated model brings elevated refresh rates. But even without a price bump, it's a tricky sell compared to the latest 4K OLED monitors.

If you’re looking at the AW3425DW as an upgrade prospect from a last-gen monitor, that’s a much tougher sell. The gains are minor compared to its hefty price tag. While I can appreciate the “ain’t broke, don’t fix” mentality, I do hope Alienware takes some bolder swings next time.

The Alienware AW3425DW is a fantastic update that offers a streamlined design, vibrant image quality and smooth performance. Though its HDR isn’t the brightest, its slew of excellent features and sub $1,000 price make it one of the best curved gaming monitors available.

The Alienware AW3425DW offers OLED gaming at a relatively affordable price. With a fast refresh rate, a subtle curve and 2K resolution it delivers great bang for your buck.

The Alienware AW3425DW ditches features to deliver top-notch SDR and HDR image quality at an aggressive price.

If you're in the market for this panel, the AW3425DW is undoubtedly the display you should buy. It focuses on the basics, offering stellar image quality and a price that's too good to ignore. Combined with the standard slew of certifications you'd expect out of a high-end display and a generous three-year warranty, it's hard to argue with what Alienware is offering.
