Dell frequently has the best monitor deals of any major brand, and that extends to its Alienware gaming division—an easy recommendation if you’re looking for an OLED upgrade. Its two previous 34-inch ultrawide models were already bargains (for OLEDs, anyway), but the newest one is even cheaper and faster… and it’s on sale starting today.
The Alienware AW3425DW is very similar to the company’s previous designs, though it gets a bit of a refresh in its stand and styling. The newer OLED panel is also faster—a full 240Hz—while retaining the semi-standard 3440×1440 ultrawide resolution. The new design also gets a USB-C port, something conspicuously absent from both previous models… but don’t get too excited because it’s only 15 watts and there’s nothing in the specs to indicate this port can handle video input. So this monitor isn’t ideal for a gaming laptop, but it’s still serviceable.
That said, with a starting price of just $799.99, I think a lot of gamers will be willing to overlook that detail, especially considering the OLED panel gets a three-year warranty against burn-in and other defects. Personally, if I were hunting for an OLED monitor deal, I’d wait on this one since Dell frequently discounts even its most high-end monitors. But with the US tariff situation in constant flux, it might be worth biting the bullet now.
It’s shipping today. Alienware also has new 27-inch OLEDs launched recently, in 4K@240Hz and 1440p@280Hz flavors.
