Alienware AW3423DWF QD-OLED

“i bought this monitor a month ago. instantly fell in love with oled because of it. but i just returned it because for $100 more i could've got the newer aw3425dw”

“It was such an enormous step upwards and has given me enhanced joy while playing games”

“The aw3423dwf didn't get bright enough for my setup, I have a lot of windows in my office and OLED couldn't compete with the light. Also, things just looked fuzzy, like text and fine details, because of the subpixel arrangement.”

“i have a permanent dark spot, a 1cm wide line from top to bottom on the right side where my scrollbar is, and i obsessed about trying to minimize the risk. It developed within 6 months.”

“there is some text fringing if you go looking for it but it's not noticeable if you don't focus on it. At least for me.”

“I still have this monitor, bought it day 1 and it’s been phenomenal”

“Mine is the Dell AW3423DWF - so it’s the OLED panel with Freesync. I ended up having to turn off VRR in windows and macOS as it was driving me crazy!”

“This monitor is so incredible for literally everything”

“30% sdr brightness is what feels comfortable to me. And I’m in a pretty bright room. I can’t understand people that run this monitor at 50% or higher. That strains my eyes so much.”

“if you are planning to use it primarily for watching YT content, watch out, it's not that good for that... for games it's sweet.. doesn't match the 4K pixel density I have on my LG C2”

“I turned on that setting plus calibrated with the ''HDR Calibration Tool'' in the windows settings and now everything works fine”

“My AW3423DWF (OLED) monitor burned in after 2 years despite following standard precautions. You're right to avoid it for productivity work.”

“I've got my own Aw3423dwf version of this monitor for a year now”

“I had an Alienware AW3423DWF and the color fringing together with coil whine was the main reason for me to replace the monitor.”

“I have a 2nd gen QD OLED AW 1440p and honestly at this point I don't even bother using HDR on it, same as you have experienced those pesky crushed blacks makes CP look awful.”

“monitor is insane”

“it took 1 year of being used for basically 12 hours a day every day to get task bar burn in and browser icon burn in”

“I actually ran the built-in Pixel Refresh cycle three times, and the patch completely vanished—so it wasn’t a permanent defect but just temporary image retention. The panel’s now rock-solid”

“If I leave it on when browsing the web and just doing general computer stuff I get intermittent screen flickering which is a bit annoying (never happens during games tho).”

“The coil whine on my AW3423DWF drives me insane, was really hoping they would have it addressed in this newer model”

“that was some of the best money I've ever spent on some computer equipment”

“I have this monitor, wouldn’t buy it if I used Windows for work, the subpixel rendering makes the fringing a lot more obvious than MacOS and any Linux distro I’ve tried.”

“I had horrible headaches and pains around my eye sockets after a few months using the aw3423dwf.”

“the crazy beautiful colors of this monitor blow me away every single day”
