- Is this the BEST Gaming Monitor of 2023? Finally, we've got our FULL Review of the all-new Alienware AW3423DWF 34in Ultrawide QD-OLED Gaming Monitor! (Product Link: geni.us/Alienware-AW3423DWF ). Is it as great as they've made it out to be? I'm going to be taking you through my experience and testing after weeks of use to help you decide if this new QD-OLED technology on this panel is actually as revolutionary as it's been made out to be. In this video, I break down all the features and flaws and also compare it to the new Corsair Xeneon 27QHD240 OLED, the massive and flexible Corsair Xeneon Flex OLED Ultrawide, and LCDs so you can see how they differ.

fix your link to Dell for the monitor
@@zeza8603 omg how did I miss that! Thank you!
the LG? 45GR95QE
As I do as much Windows stuff as playing, is reading text really a big problem or bareable?
Silly question but what's that video with the honey dipping stick? I always see it in stores.
One of the big selling points of this for me was the Picture-By-Picture mode. It's AWESOME to have my work computer and my play computer on the same screen at the same time without issue.
This was a great review. Very concise. Thanks for pointing out the bezels, not a deal breaker, but good to know
Good review, man. It had to take forever to compile all of this info, I’m sure, but you made it look so easy, lol. Really helps me to fine tune my purchase decision. Kudos!! 👊🏼
Damn i thought i was watching a very big UA-camrs that reviews techs your video quality is insane and very accurate you don't deserve 50k subscriber you deserve 10 million subscribers keep it up and iam very sure you'll reach it
Best review in the world of this monitor.
Made me decide to buy it as I own a high end pc, but have a cheap 1440p monitor.
Thanks for going straight to the points too!
For that you get an like + an subscription 🙌
thanks man. what monitor would you recommend that's top of line like this, perhaps even curved, but for someone with static apps running for years? thx in advance! Happy new year.
That was such a great review. Thank you
Great video man, keep it up. Definitely buying this monitor
Great review. Thanks man! Will definitely be my next purchase.
awesome review straight to the point break down.
This was such a well done video. Thank you.
Another great review! Thanks for all the details! :D
@Miqo'te Lover thank you! I really appreciate that. Glad it was helpful!
Hey, great review. I just sent back my XENEON 27QHDOLED because of the flickering in brightness, it was very annoying and very troublesome for my eyes. Does this OLED panel have the same flickering? thanks in advance.
I just pulled the trigger and purchased this on dells website for $1375 AUD between Monitor Unboxed's reivew and yours it helped me make the final decision to buy it. I've been using the Acer Predator X34GS for a year or so now but really wanted OLED as I game and watch a lot of movies n other media and the IPS glow and black light bleed has always been distracting to me on LCD's. Can't wait till i get this.
This video is gold. I hate when i need to watch 10 different videos to get the information i need to learn about a product. Thank you im watching all of your videos
@zesh47 glad you like them zesh!
That hexagon back wall is really cool. Did you make that yourself?
Just sent some commission your way my friend! Great video! You really helped me pin point my decision! Thanks!
I have been using this 3423DW monitor since December last year and use it only for FS2020. It is been a delight since I first installed it and the performance is simply breathtaking. I guess when running it hard with fast gaming it performs really well. The only comment and small criticism I do have is the toggle control for the settings that will never be my favourite way of adjustment. This gets in the way big time if you are using a Tobii 5 eye tracker as the mount has to be attached below the frame. All in all, absolutely delighted with it in every aspect, buying without seeing one in action is always a leap of faith, this is one I got right I am sure. Great review, glad I found it thanks . . .
what's your thoughts on it only having a 1800R curve? Others have a more aggressive curve. Especially regarding eye strain. Do you have any with with the alienware?
@@Hallo81398I have the DWF and sit about 3ft away from it, zero eyestrain. I'm really pleased with the monitor, I use it mostly in SD and it's an outstanding gaming/movie monitor
this is an excellent review very well presented, thanks for the information ⭐⭐⭐
Great video, would an RTX 3060 be enough for this monitor? Mainly for iracing
Very well researched and fine made video🤙Top fan justin.
@ubaid ullah thanks man! That means a lot! Glad to have you on the channel
@@JustinTechTips welcome, keep posting the good stuff 👍
800 at Best buy now. Picked one yesterday!! They're insane in person! And I got this for music production. Not gaming lol. I just couldn't find that shiny look on other monitors panels.
They fixed the HDR 1000 Peak mode now with firmware update. Gaming in HDR is amazing. Upgraded from the AW3418DW and it was a huge leap. Best monitor ever I got it for $700 after a 300 Cashback.
Only con it has some coil whine when darker scenes are displayed.
Coil whine? (Not english had trouble understanding the meaning ) can you explain ?
@@Xtenz01 coil whine, is audible sound directly produced by materials vibrating under the excitation of electromagnetic forces. Some examples of this noise include the mains hum, hum of transformers, the whine of some rotating electric machines, or the buzz of fluorescent lamps.
It's not present on all panels it depends on your luck.
Amazing deals on it, between Dell's $200 off for black friday, $120 cashback from my credit card company, and another $100 off from Rakuten I got it for $580
So HDR will work fine with a nvidia GPU?
@@nflikt yeah, no issues with my 4090
Just got mine on Best Buy I’m so excited
Great video!!! This The WF is the next one in line for me.
Thank you, nicely explained.
what preset mode do you run this monitor? Standard? Creator?
Is this monitor appropriate or good for having it as a main monitor for a razer blade 15” laptop?
Awesome review!
Great review, highlighted pro and cons of the monitor without overhyping/etc .
I'm using this monitor now for over 1500h while not beeing a hardcore gamer. I mainly program in dark mode and low brightness (0-15%) and have nearly no static elements. The rest of the time I play Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor, Elden Ring, Horizon Zero Dawn, Forza, Anno 1800 or watching HDR Movies from BluRays (more on that later). Have not experienced any burn in so far. Interestingly, the color management does work very well with my ArchLinux distro, but obviously no HDR so far, while colors in Windows, even with the DCI-P3 color profile for this monitor installed and activated, are all oversaturated and greenish. So use HDR TrueBlack or HDR1000 with firmware M3B104 and get excellent colors with 10bit resolution.
I have some tips (especially, because most reviews blame the monitor for the text clarity, but that's actually a software issue): For Windows Users: u can use the newest MacType from GitHub (snowie2000) and edit the default.ini and replace the "[GENERAL]" part to
[GENERAL]
Name=AW3423DWF
PixelLayout=-18,-11,2,22,16,-11
I'm also using AntiAliasMode=2, HintingMode=1,GammaMode=1 and some weighting adjustments: NormalWeight=22, BoldWeigt=5. But they are just personal preference.
For Linux users (I use it for programming): u can clone freetype2 and install it from source (depends on your distro). Before building, u have to edit the ft_smooth_init function in src/smooth/ftsmooth.c:
sub[0].x = -18;
sub[0].y = -11;
sub[1].x = 2;
sub[1].y = 22;
sub[2].x = 16;
sub[2].y = -11;
and comment out the
#define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING
in config/ftoption.h
Important information for watching movies: You cannot watch HDR from Amazon or Disney+. I didn't test Netflix, but it shall support HDR for windows users. Maybe the firetv stick let u watch HDR movies from Amazon. As mentioned, I use HDR Blurays with MakeMKV and VLC (u need an 4K BluRay Drive, for me the Verbatim works) and that looks amazing.
Hopefully those who have this monitor or are willing to buy one find this information useful, the reddit thread is unfortunately private since a few days or weeks. So searching the internet gives nearly no results anymore...
Noted, just in case I purchase this monitor
So glad I found your comment! This would be pretty much my EXACT use case (except I use Manjaro, I could install Arch, but I'm lazy, don't hate me plz x'D).
I've just bought a DELL S3422DWG and it's destroying my eyes, I believe I will return it straightaway...
I have 3 questions if you don't mind:
How is the OLED treating your eyes on dark backgrounds and low brightness? Do you experience less eyestrain or fatigue?
Aren't you afraid of "burning your code editor and terminal" into the panel by programming on it?
Do you need to keep a 16:9 monitor as a fallback (or second monitor) for some use cases?
Excellent info
❤
@TechMetalPenguin first, I'm so sorry for my late reply. YT didn't notify about any comments I got except the heart comment...
hmm the monitor will feel unusual and maybe uncomfortable the first days. I have migraine and had an episode cause of that, but if u have atleast a dimmed diffuse light and not a spotlight heading to the monitor, I think, this should be no problem. Atleast I had not experienced any issues since then.
Only turning the dark mode on and lowering brightness +/ contrast will not directly result in less eyestrain, because of the infinite contrast of OLED. But with greyish brackground it does help a lot. One remark here: the grey will have a "film grain" look to it, but that's part of the oled technology as I have read somewhere ("rtings" maybe).
If u have problems with flickering lights/LEDs, I strongly recommend turning FreeSync/Adaptive off (there is a guide in the archwiki (search for "AMDGPU"), maybe there's one for nvidia too) and wayland supports it directly in the "Display Settings" menu, cause the monitor will flicker caused by interference.
So far I didn't need a fallback monitor. The only time I had no picture was caused by the monitor turned off when I started my computer. The DisplayPort protocol couldn't initialize it correctly as I turned it on later, but if urs is just in standby or if u turn the monitor on shortly before u turn on ur pc, the monitor should always work. If I need 16:9, I can just use the 2560x1440 resolution.
In the case u ment a fallback monitor cause of health issues, there are some days with migraine were it could be useful, but I decided: If I am this sick, that I cannot use my monitor, I should stay away from monitors in general on this day and trink some more water, only read a books, go outside... in rare scenarios in which I must use it, turning the brightness and contrast down helped a lot and I'm happy the monitor can go this dark, while still things are visible.
So far, I'm not afraid of burn in, cause my brightness rarely exceeds 15% (I'm mainly active in the night, the day is very loud and bright -> stressful for me).
In my intuition about QD-OLED technology: less brightness -> less energy -> less burn in.
And a cool remark, since I got it to work the last days: HDR Gaming, watching HDR movies (from bluray) and youtube HDR is possible on Linux with this monitor and amd gpu. I tested Jedi Survivor, Elden Ring, Horizon Zero Dawn. Forza will probably not work, cause it doesn't even start in Linux without HDR :/. But it's a bit tricky to get it working (the tutorial alone on HDR monitor support does not work). If u're interested, I'll try to write a short guide, how I set it up.
This is a great review. This is truly the king of gaming monitors!
Do you need speakers? Does it come with sound?
Which monitor you do you recommend for streaming?
Will I be able to fit this on a dual monitor arm for 27” inch screens? I know it’s a 34” inch but it’s light so? 🤔
I just got this monitor earlier today from Best Buy with 4 year’s of Geek Squad Protection for $1,149.98 no tax in Oregon & so far I’m definitely not disappointed 😱😱😱👍🏿
Hey there! 😊 Quick question about the brightness - you "mentioned" (not realy) it's okay with the window close to it, but 236 cd/m² seems a bit low. Currently using the LG 38GN950-B, and with a window nearby, its 491 cd/m² feels like the upper limit for me. What are your final thoughts on the brightness situation? 🌟
ill be using this monitor for gaming but also browsing the internet mainly youtube tho.. I assume that'd be fine and wouldn't burn in?
I’ve had one of these for around six months. It’s amazing. I use an LG 48” 4K Oled monitor as well.
The DWF is on sale for $799 at Best Buy right now. I just ordered one on the website.
Great review and breakdown! I just picked one up using your affiliate link!
Would have any recommended settings for gaming?
I'm planning to build a PC in November It will be my first build I will be using it mostly for streaming to Twitch and recording for UA-cam I want to get a new monitor too which monitor would you recommend
Would this also be a good recommendation for content creation ... graphics or video? I love to purchase an Apple Studio display, but most of my work is done on a PC. So looking for a good high quality comparable Studio display, but for a PC.
OLED, as is stands, is not the best type of display technology for your application
Do you need a 100x100 vesa adapter to mount it ? I have the Ergotron HX Wall adapter that I want to attach it to but not sure if I also need the adapter or if it will slot right in
clear concise information. I am in the market for the alienware monitor, you just made my buy a firm final purchase. TQ Bro!
@arunm1780 Awesome! Glad I could help arunm !
Hi
Can you recommend some monitors that are good for both pc and gaming consoles at some time
Thank you for the review.
How about using it mainly for office work? Would it be susceptible to pixel burn out?
You never buy an OLED if the main purpose is office work. Not only are you at a higher risk of burn in, but OLED screens have not clear text quality compared to regular IPS panels and such. If you do mostly office work, get a Mini LED. OLED screens are targeted towards gamers and media consumption, not office work
@@Seriksy Thank you, i did not know that.
@@fmatax You're welcome! Just to be clear, I do a lot of programming, but I also do a lot of gaming. Perhaps 50/50, so I'm going for an OLED, more specifically the Samsung Odyssey G8 :) You just have to accept that you can't get the best from both worlds, and I want better quality when gaming, and less so when coding
Is this monitor ok with regular workflow stuff? Stock trading? Content creation?
What would you pick for an Editing Monitor, Photos and Video than watching youtubes and videos and also 10% of the time for Gaming?
Tempted to get the 32" 4K model after trying the Neo G8, once you go 4K hard to go back to 1440.
But for now stick with the 57" Neo G9 and wait for the 2024/2025 OLED that I hope helps the text clarity and burn in issues a bit more.
I think my ideal setup is 32+39+32 for a triple monitor setup with 21:9 in the middle with 2160 vertical resolution and 4K PPI.
what are your thoughts on the DWF or the Samsung G9 OLED.
I have this monitor but it stands at an angle, how do i fix this issue ? And how do i take off the panel that keeps the wires tidy so i can add more wires?
I don't know if anyone mentioned in comment yet, but Dell released few days ago a firmware that fixes HDR 1000 peak mode issues. I would highly recommend update to the latest firmware to get HDR as it meant to be. Now the HDR quality on both dwf and dw is on par after the firmware. There is literarely no more reasons to buy the dw version over dwf, before the fix of the firmware dw version had a lot better HDR peak 1000 mode. Not anymore tho.
Just updated and it works a treat.
I'll try it
What about gsync??
@@icephoenix3565 it's always worked with gsync
What about 10-bit color? DWF only works at 100 Hz and DW at 144 Hz
Thank you for the review I well be buying this monitor thank you
Love the monitor reviews!!!
@Saul Martinez thanks man! Glad you're enjoying them!
is this monitor good for CAD drawings? is there any distortion about lines usings curved monitor?
Thank you for the review ! But why is it not good for producers ? I am looking for a monitor suitable for producers but also good for gaming occasionally.
Thank you 3:42 to confirm that my Bewiser BP100 which comes with 75x75 and 100x100 Vesa mounting fits on this monitor even though it says "32 inch only", this is 34.18'' inch and still falls within the parameters sweeeeeet.
Would you go with this or the samsung oled g8?
Ive owned a AW3418DW for many years and it's been an incredible monitor! Only upgrade would be the jump from IPS to OLED and im really considering..
Subbed and used link.... got the AW3423DWF. i almost got a g8 oled but i heard bad things about using them with AMD cards.... that video suggested the AW3423DW not the DWF glad i found this, being able to update firmware is what made the difference, wasnt going to buy the DW but found this video in the suggested.. glad i did. thanks for the info and i cant wait for my new monitor.. running a 7800x3d and a 7900xtx with a 1440p 165hz lenovo VA panel... its not cutting it haha hope this one does the job
Nice Review. Just pulled the trigger and user your link. Hope it helps
Awesome, thank you @zkilla4611 . Glad the video helped you!
Will you be reviewing LG C3? 42" 48" etc..
I ordered this one. I first thought about the Samsung Oled 8 (it is 80€ cheaper atm) but they dont have Pixel Burn In covered in the warranty and it´s 85% TV and 15% Monitor. This one here is more of an classic screen an it has the same Panel and a better warranty. But I guess I need to update the Firmware first when it arrives. I have a 5950X and a 3090 I guess It will be a solid fit for this. A good trick is to set your Task bar to auto hide.
How do you mount this monitor to a VESA compatible mount arm? says the VESA adapter is not needed.
If price wasn’t an issue what monitor would you recommend this or the XENEON FLEX 45WQHD? I would mainly use for gaming and movies I have a top tier computer with a Asus rog 4090.
It’s time for a monitor upgrade right now I have a older Alienware untrawide lcd so this one caught my eye as I love the one I have now so having it in oled would be awesome
Everything about the XENEON FLEX 45WQHD seems top tier but I was told there’s no height adjustment which would be a bit of a deal breaker for me.
Anyways let me know.
hey @retrolivegaming9600 yes that one is definitely my favorite. Two things to take note on. The Xeneon Flex since it is so big will have pixels large enough to notice them if you plan to view your screen closer than 2 feet. Honestly though it's so big that it feels weird to sit that close. Second thing like you said is the lack of adjustability (height adjustment and no VESA mounting) bestbuy.7tiv.net/anNOxj My second favorite is the Alienware OLED in this video. bestbuy.7tiv.net/DKMxaq The picture is slightly better than the Xeneon Flex. If you do end up getting either of these today (or even a different monitor) please remember to use my links as purchases made through them give me a small commission at no cost to you and it helps the channel grow and get better!
Can you help? I got the exact monitor but yet I can’t let Warzone 2.0 go into full screen I used all screen mode! I can only get 75% of the monitor.. question how can I get full gaming screen? I’m running 7900xtx with 7800x3x with ddr5 6000 lc 30.. please someone help I love the monitor I just don’t want to return it!
I heard about coil whine. Is this true? Even with the newer model ?
Currently looking for a monitor for an expensive gaming pc.. this alienware AW3423DWF and the pg27AQDM from Asus are both tempting, but not sure if I should wait for new monitors to release this year and see what they bring? Heard asus are releasing a 32 inch 4k monitor some time this year but not sure :(
Depends if you want 4k or 1440p. Me I like 1440p.
idk if i have a problem with my aw3423dwf but every now and then i see like black shape pixel on screen for 1 second then its fine and this has happened a very few times. i personally think it might be the CPU or GPU thats causing that. i have a i5 6400 skylake CPU and then GTX1070 which i am thinking of upgrading.
How does this compare to the asus pg32uqx? I love the HDR but the motion blur has gotten to the point I can't take it anymore
BEEN THINKING ABOUT THE 38 INCH, Its twice the money of my Dell and my Dell is really good, just upgraded my computer to i9-12900 processor w a 4070 super graphics card. Will the 900.00 be worth it?
Why is the right half of my monitor darker than the left half? Is there some sort of demo mode that I don’t see?
how do you enable source tone mapping? mine is greyed out. My HDR is set to peak 1000
I have one question, I have NVIDIA Gpu and I'm thinking about buy this monitor with free sync which one is cheaper, there's any relevance or difference about the g sync? Or is waste of money?
If you enable Gsync perhaps it good to have but all my years using Nvidia GPUs (3080Ti/4090) I never, enable Gsync so it was an easy choice for the DWF. The other factors are firmware update capability (heard its resolved on the DW now) and the fact that I prefer a black monitor. The PinP feature was the icing on the cake.
I don’t know why but I watched this video 2 times.
@Aperson because you're awesome and want smaller UA-cam channels to succeed :)
@@JustinTechTips the DW model is way better than the dwf especially if you compare them side by side.
@@JustinTechTips I watched the I7400, a7300, and I8100 reviews 12 times before using the link because I was indecisive.
@bledar RM the reviews that I've seen comparing them side by side showed it to be basically just as good as the DW after turning on Source Tone Mapping. Was what you saw comparing an older firmware version of the DWF with the DW?
@@JustinTechTips i had the latest dwf version hut everything was so blown out. For me the DW had the best hdr experience, and the second best is the samsung G8. I had constant tearing with that dwf no matter what fps i got. Ended up returning it.
Can i connect my iPad Pro to the monitor? I don’t see usb-c port
the key difference between the DW and DWF is they dropped the g sync module for the DWF hence the cheaper price. Its till g sync compatible though.
Did I catch this right that this is glossy panel? Are there any 4k OLED not glossy panels? I really dont like the reflections when working (and watching movies too).
Can you See a difference between 8bit and 10bit? Because 10bit I get only with 144hz and with 165hz only 8bit
@8:52 You're saying that "the newer DWF model model has the ability to upgrade the firmware, the DWF does not." So... which one are are you talking about here?
Will this work for an Xbox series x that takes hdmi2.1. It doesn't seem to have hdmi2.1. Please help. I play call of duty that uses 4k 120hz
Does it have a g-sync compatible ?
Apparently you could get the DW model to have updated firmware; however, if you have firmware M0B101, you would have to send it to Dell for them to update it. If you have M0B102, you don't.
i just got this monitor and just esting it with my xbox one, bu there is no sound coming out. got any ideas why? thanks. :-)
You just reaffirmed every reason I bought this monitor the first day it became available from Dell. I knew I was going with an all AMD build this time. The DWF was a perfect fit. Yes, I am a GAMER first. Building PCs and playing with PCs as a Hobby is not why I do it. Gaming is the Goal and one must have the best bang for the buck. This DWF gets it done.
How much was it on release day? It's at 1k now and I'm thinking about waiting for black friday
@@LearnWithTheBest IT was $999.00 for me at Dell. Dell was the only place to buy it on day one. Great monitor. You can set the screen to do its burn-in prevent measures and forget about it.
@@halrichard1969 Thanks for the reply sir! I'm gonna get this one!
Does it VRR flickering ?
@@LearnWithTheBest Hope you Like it.
Picking this monitor up today. Using it for Star citizen and a few other games.
what is the best keybord for it
thx for video, congrats
I hope they decide to make a 4K version soon. I’m planning on building a new 4K computer gaming/editing maybe next year or even 2 years, and I will be going from my current 1080p build (23 inch monitor) to a 4K build with a widescreen monitor.
only one 4k ultrawide exists to my knowledge, and they (dell) decided to call it a '5k2k' i really despise these 'k' naming schemes, they are so inconsistent. it's not a gaming monitor, it's an LCD with 75Hz for professionals. i doubt we will have worthwhile 4k ultrawide gaming screens for a long while, very (very) expensive too. Probably best to go with a a 16:9 4k monitor, or a monitor like this.
A 1600p version of it would be nice. They only sell the normal led, not oled in 38inch
January Alienware come up with few new monitors is QLED 4K & others , But i am sure would be expensive
the one I'm looking for TO GET is that 32" QD-OLED WITH 240 refresh rate is f*n awesome I WANNA KNOW whats the price on it damnit my eyes on that F**** ya! is Alienware AW3225QF
You'll regret getting 4k. Even the rtx 4090 struggles to go past 100fps. What's the point of a 4k 240hz monitor when gpu can't even fully utilize it?
4K seems pointless to me at this size. 1440p is the sweet spot imo.
About the same price as the other two OLED but this is 34 inches and is actually brighter? Not sure if I have the room for this
Sorry myb I miss understood something. At 08:53 can the DWF get updates or not ?
Did you find out if Dwf can be updated?
I got this monitor today and it is absolutely beautiful, iam genuinly suprised at how good and how different the graphics are, but when set up my monitor seems to be tilted a little towards my right, do you think its a faulty stand or something i have done wrong? Any response will be apreciated
It’s actually got a pivot of 5 degrees in both directions so you should be able to just rotate it towards the left to even it out
I have the dw version and have been super happy with it. Would’ve got the f version but I’m February it wasn’t in stock and the dw was on sale for around $1100. Did a 12 month payment plan with Amazon so I was only paying $91 for it
It is king I’ve been using it since 6 months now. The best monitor I have ever had so far..
??? Where did you get that light-saber Kinfe? I want one!!! 🤣
I ended up returning the LG45 ultra..I can’t do that matte screen.
This is awesome, I love it.
heey , do i need to leave console mode on even tough i play and plug only on pc ?
I had the AW3423DW. Loved the glossy display but I wanted more than the height of a 27 inch and the 240hz for my 4090 so I upgraded to the corsair xeneon flex. I did look at the lg as well but the 800r curve is just too much for me. I have the curve as close as I could get to the alienware and it seems to work well for now. The alienware also seemed to have an issue with HDR in cyberpunk 2077 but the corsair looks perfect with HDR.
How is that Corsair Xeneon Flex ? I have seen mixed reviews but those reviews are not spending their own money on the monitor.
@@jwar2163 It's been great so far just waiting for corsair to add the monitor into icue according to corsair and linus it's supposed to be this year sometime. I know some people want 4k but I would still rather have higher frame rates and utilize the 240hz in more than just the window UI and esports games. Also with HDR this monitor goes up to like 1200 nits according to windows HDR calibration settings. HDR has 2 color profiles standard and default. I changed it to default as it's more neutral and no yellow tint. People complained about no height adjustment but it's a huge monitor you really don't need to adjust it.
