Alienware 34 280Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3426DW) review

Alienware AW3426DW is the strongest all-round ultrawide on this list for the money. Dell lists a 34-inch QD-OLED Penta Tandem panel at 3440 x 1440 with a 280Hz refresh rate, 0.03 ms GTG response in Extreme Mode and an 1800R curve. For HDR, it carries VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 and Dolby Vision with 1300 nits peak brightness, and Dell lists 99% DCI-P3 coverage. The new RGB stripe subpixel layout is aimed at sharper text, a common complaint with older OLED ultrawides. Burn-in is the usual OLED worry, and Dell answers it with a 3 year Premium Panel Exchange that includes burn-in coverage plus an anti-burn-in graphite sheet. Connections are two HDMI 2.1 ports and DisplayPort 1.4, and the stand adjusts for height, slant, swivel and tilt. The trade-offs are office features: no speakers or webcam, and the USB-C port supplies only 15W. Dell.com listed it at $799.99 when we checked.
