Alienware AW3423DW: Quantum Dot OLED Renders Rival Monitors Obsolete

It’s rare to review a monitor with the potential to revolutionize the industry, but the Alienware AW3423DW could do exactly that. It packs a cutting-edge OLED panel with Quantum Dot technology at a price surprisingly competitive with high-end IPS ultrawide monitors.

The monitor also claims 99.3% coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut which, though high, can be matched by some premium IPS panels.
