NOT ONLY IS Alienware’s alternative OLED monitor, the Alienware 34 AW3423DWF, better than the existing AW3423DW; it’s cheaper. How does that work, exactly?
For the most part this is the same monitor, so it’s a 34-inch ultrawide model sporting Samsung’s QD-OLED technology. It’s not just the same technology; it’s the same panel, with one alteration, more on which momentarily.
Once again, the resolution is 3,440 by 1,440, the peak brightness remains at 1,000 nits, the claimed pixel response of 0.1ms is carried over, and so on. There are one or two detail changes, and the refresh rate has been dropped from 175Hz to 165Hz. There’s likely no technical reason for this ultimately inconsequential change. Instead, Alienware is probably putting a bit of on-paper space between the two screens to justify the price gap.
