Alienware has one-upped its rivals by presenting the AW3425DW QD-OLED monitor. This piece of hardware tops the specification charts, which can make any gamer drool as you laboriously read them – 240Hz Refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 FRL, and, of course, the all-new AW30 design. So much so, it is like a cheat code for eyeballs.
But what is the fuss behind this great launch? Firstly, we have QD-OLED itself-the most potent display tech-in terms of perception black as well as contrast running high and furthermore, fireworks-styled colors? Now that Alienware hyped that to a 240Hz?
That buttery smooth motion clarity for competitive shooters, from racing sims to just flexing in your favorite RPGs. Another good point of HDMI 2.1 FRL is that next-next-gen-console gamers will also benefit from the house treatment-instant reactions without any input lag.
New AW30 design also brings the right feel to it. Clean bezels, probably RGB because obviously Alienware, and hopefully it does better in cable management as no one enjoys spaghetti under the desk.
Now let’s be serious: who is actually going to buy it? If you are one of those people who still has an ancient 2015 monitor hooked up to a humble 60Hz TN panel, I am happy to tell you that it will feel like something from the future. It’s so not cheap, though; Alienware premium stuff never is. But for esports junkies or graphics snobs, this just might be the kind of thing that makes a kidney worth selling or, at the very least, a few fewer takeout meals.
You can grab it right now on their site, no waiting, no “coming soon” nonsense, just “love, add to cart,” and hope your wallet survives the transaction.
Imagine playing Cyberpunk 2077 on this thing with its max settings! Night City neon glows will probably burn through your retinas (in the best possible way).
Anyways, probably the best upgrade in gaming monitor is going to be this. Unless of course you are one of those waiting for a 360Hz or something in that range. By that time, probably your eyes wouldn’t tell a difference anyway.
Final judgment? Alienware didn’t just raise the bar; they shot it into the stratosphere. Now excuse me while I go cry like a peasant over my measly 144Hz.
