Alienware’s 1440p ultrawide OLED gaming monitor is a huge 50% off

OLED monitors aren’t exactly cheap, but Dell subsidiary Alienware definitely has some of the best bang-for-your-buck value in this space. The first model it offered is still popular for exactly that reason, and today you can get that ultrawide OLED gaming monitor at a deep discount. It’s $549.99 right now on Amazon (half its launch price of $1,099.99).
The Alienware AW3423DWF is a 34-inch ultrawide curved design, using the semi-standard 3440×1440 resolution. That means this is basically a 27-inch monitor stretched out to the cinematic 21:9 aspect ratio. On top of that gorgeous OLED panel with its near-perfect contrast, it’s packing a 165Hz refresh rate. While that isn’t as fast as some more recent OLED gaming monitors, it should be enough to make your desktop PC sweat with newer 3D games at full resolution. It also supports a standard VESA mount, so you can easily add a monitor arm. You can check out PCWorld’s full review for more details.
This monitor comes with plenty of ports for multiple consoles or desktops—one HDMI, double DisplayPort, five USB-A, but no USB-C support so it’s not a great choice if your only gaming device is a laptop. But even a couple of years after it debuted, it’s one of the best deals around. You simply won’t find a new ultrawide OLED at this size for this price.
Amazon says this is a “limited time deal,” so it might not stick around for long, especially since it’s been replaced with a newer Alienware model. I’d get an order in quickly if it’s what you want. If not, be sure to check out PCWorld’s selections for the best monitors on the market.
