Best Monitors of 2022Best Alienware laptops in 2022Best monitor deals and sales in 2022
Samsung Display claims Quantum Dot technology will be used in the next generation of large displays, but Alienware has now used the QD tech on its 34-inch gaming monitor. As spotted by Ars Technica, the AW3423DW display offers an ultrawide (3440×1440) OLED panel with a 21:9 aspect ratio and a 175 Hz refresh rate. Gamers can also expect VESA Display HDR 400 True Black certification, 99.3 DCi-P3 coverage,, and 250 nits of brightness. Priced at $1,299, it’s pricier than many of the best gaming monitors around, including the $800 MSI MPG Artymis 343CQR ultrawide curved gaming monitor — an already pricey product. However, it isn’t as expensive as Alienware’s 38-inch Curved Gaming Monitor (AW3821DW), which is priced around $2,000 (but it’s $1,199 on Dell’s listing page (opens in new tab) right now). We can’t wait to get our hands on the Alienware 34 QD-OLED Gaming Display, and while it is pricey, many OLED displays will put a dent in your wallet. The Gigabyte AORUS FO48U is also around $1,200, while many of the best OLED TVs will cost you upwards of $2,000. We’re sure to see more QD-OLED displays pop up in 2022, especially if they’re a hit among gamers. In the meantime, check out the best monitors you can grab right now.
