AlienwareAW3423DWF Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - 34-inch Quantum Dot OLED 0.1Ms 165Hz 21:9 Curved Display, 99.3% DCI-P3 Color Gamut, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro - Black

Alienware has been pushing boundaries in gaming hardware for years, but the AW2725DF 27" OLED gaming monitor takes things to a new level. With a jaw-dropping 360Hz refresh rate, ultra-low response times, and an OLED panel delivering unmatched contrast and color, this monitor is a dream for competitive and immersive gamers alike.After several weeks of testing across FPS, racing, and cinematic titles, I can confidently say this is one of the most impressive gaming displays currently on the market.Stunning OLED Picture QualityAt the heart of this monitor is a 2560x1440 (QHD) OLED panel, which instantly sets it apart from most other 360Hz monitors still using IPS or TN technology. The OLED screen produces true blacks, infinite contrast ratios, and incredibly vibrant colors. Whether you're exploring shadowy ruins in Elden Ring or battling under neon lights in Cyberpunk 2077, the visual depth is breathtaking.HDR performance is equally impressive. With DisplayHDR True Black 400 certification, highlights pop, shadows stay rich, and there’s no annoying haloing or blooming. OLED’s pixel-level illumination allows for exact detail in both dark and bright scenes, giving you a cinematic experience even during intense gameplay.360Hz Refresh Rate – Smooth as SilkWhere this Alienware OLED really shines is in its 360Hz refresh rate, delivering ultra-smooth motion with practically no input lag. Paired with a 0.03ms response time, this monitor is a top-tier weapon for esports enthusiasts and competitive players. In titles like Valorant, Overwatch 2, and CS2, every flick and movement feels instantaneous and fluid.The QHD resolution hits a sweet spot between performance and sharpness. It’s easier to drive than 4K, yet sharper than 1080p — perfect for serious players who don’t want to compromise clarity for speed.With NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible and AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certification, screen tearing is a non-issue. The adaptive sync support works seamlessly across GPUs and ensures consistent frame pacing at all times.Design & BuildAlienware continues its trend of clean, futuristic aesthetics. The AW2725DF sports a matte black and white chassis with customizable RGB lighting on the back. The stand is fully adjustable (height, swivel, tilt, pivot) and extremely stable. Cable management is clean and intuitive, and the slim bezels keep the focus on your game.Ports include DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, USB 3.2 hub, and a headphone jack — all conveniently placed.Burn-in Concerns?One of the few drawbacks with OLEDs is potential burn-in, especially for static UI elements. Alienware includes pixel-shifting and screen care features to minimize risk. For most gamers, especially those who don’t leave static images onscreen for hours, burn-in should be a rare issue — not a dealbreaker.Final VerdictThe Alienware 27" OLED 360Hz Gaming Monitor is a stunning blend of speed, responsiveness, and cinematic visuals. It’s expensive, but it’s in a class of its own. If you’re a competitive gamer who refuses to compromise on image quality, this is the ultimate display.Rating: 5/5 – Elite performance meets breathtaking visuals. A monitor built for serious play.

Great monitor. I thought I was going to be irritated by the glare coming from the matte IPS version of this but no noticeable visibility issues unless you really try to make it glare. Blacks are deeper than I could've ever expected the monitor almost looks turned off when there's a full black transition in a video and colors are more vibrant (after adjusting display within monitor settings and AMD driver settings) and make the overall viewing experience much more pleasant than my old IPS. HDR looks amazing but needs to be calibrated in Windows settings so that it's not overkill (or so that it is overkill, depends on your preference). Going from 120hz to 240hz wasn't quite as much of a life changer as I imagined but it was definitely a very visible improvement in smoothness and latency on games where I'm maintaining 240+ fps. Monitor performs pixel refresh maintenance automatically after some idle time which is a nice peace of mind if you're worried about keeping the OLED healthy. Stand is great, easy to setup and doesn't use too much space unlike Alienware's other 2-leg stand that can take up half a desk. 10/10 so far but the technology will always keep improving.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:After doing extensive research and analysis on a 34” wide format gaming monitor, I landed on the Alienware AWD3425DW, and I got it for $699 which is $100 off list price. With the 240hz refresh rate and OLED panel it is near to impossible to find another top brand monitor that matches the specifications and quality. I’ve only had it for a few days, but so far I absolutely love it! The only thing some may not like is it is only a partially matte finish on the screen and may be too shiny for those who have a window behind them (I don’t) so it’s not an issue. In a dark room it is amazing!Functionality:Works flawlessly with my AMD RADEON RX9070XT syncing high refresh rates.Tilt capability:Excellent! With great height adjustment as well.Brightness:Only running it at 60% brightness and it’s plenty
