Newly released AW3425DW model that has an upgraded panel from the AW3423DW.

Important note: The JB description says it's a LCD VA panel (which would be the much cheaper 34 inch AW3425DWM). It is not. I've just picked it up. It's an error in their system. This is the OLED. The RRP and the deal price are those of an OLED.

This beats the $1348 deal on ozbargain: old deal

YMMV and it's possible there are VA panels in stock at this heavily elevated price but the pricing is more consistent with oled. Apparently even on their inventory info, it says VA so get them to physically check.

    ill be skip this whole OLED gen , straight to PLED, i know burn in is well controlled now, also this model isnt the latest oled tech either. (its at gen 4 now?). good price from past point of view, but the tech is just too fast. and this thing is still not cheap.

    This is a 'Gen 2' panel, as seen way down the bottom of this great writeup https://tftcentral.co.uk/articles/gen-4-samsung-qd-oled-2025…

    Not sure why they aren't making Gen 4 tech in 34", in particular it doesn't have the new subpixel shape that supposedly improves text clarity.

    • reader64 on 11/05/2025 - 02:21

      34 makes up 3.5 percent of monitor sales.

      or they can sell 30-45 percent of the panels at 1440p.. of which you can get WAY more 27 panels out of the mother panel than a 34

      theres nearly no market need for them to want to rush the latest gear to UW

  • pharcyde on 10/05/2025 - 19:38

    Which is the best 4k OLED 240hz monitor these days? I know the Alienware is an OZB fav, but are any of the ones closer to $1500-$2000 better and aren't curved?

    • Elquines on 10/05/2025 - 20:17

      Asus QD-OLED PG27UCDM is extremely good. So as MSI MPG 322URX QD-OLED.

      Alienware and Samsung G8 Oled are ozb fav because they are much more affordable than the other 2.

      • pharcyde on 10/05/2025 - 20:46

        Thanks! I've have read good things about the MSI 322URX. Do you think it's worth the extra money over the 321UPX?

        • Elquines on 10/05/2025 - 21:18
          +1

          Sorry I was mistaken the MSI 322URX for the MSI 272URX

          I can't speak for the MSI because I don't have any of them. I only have the Samsung G81SF and Samsung G80SD (equivalent of Gen 3 and 4)
          From what I've read, apart from the DP 2.1 the 322URX has slightly higher peak brightness in HDR 400 true black. Image is more punchy but not worth the extra $$

          The real deal for QD OLED this year is the 27inch 4k OLED because they come in gen 4 panel. PG27UCDM, MSI 272URX, Samsung G81SF and AW2725Q are all 27inch 4k 240hz panel.

        • BusMan247 on 11/05/2025 - 21:20

          Rtings rated the 321 higher than the 322.so I went with the Dell 32 oled. Just looks so nice in person.

    Any text fringing on this ?

    • DuckWearingTopHat on 10/05/2025 - 21:30

      Yes. Obviously mainly depends on how sensitive you are. For whatever it means this is a gen 2 OLED while it's a new release it's the old panels that have worse text clarity. Think there might even be "gen 4" now definitely gen 3 which improved text.

      Well this screen is based on Samsung Gen 2 panel, and latest released is Gen 4 panel, so to answer your question, this is using an older Samsung panel from like 2 Years ago.

      But if you want a qd oled in 34 inch ultawide, then this is the latest currently on the market.

      If you want a screen with Gen 4 panel, I believe your current only choice is the new 27 inch 4k qd oled screens fron Asus, msi and Dell.

  • GooseHoward on 11/05/2025 - 02:03

    The Samsung G9 OLED (5120x1440) seems to come up on sale for a similar price now and then. Would that represent better value for money, or is there something I'm missing? The past deals for the Samsung didn't get as many upvotes as these Alienware deals seem to get.

    • bruc3 on 11/05/2025 - 07:29

      Dell generally considered to have better warranty and return service and comes with 3 Year burn-in warranty.
      I heard Samsung does not even cover burn-in?

      Also the G9 has 32:9 aspect ratio which I believe there is not as much content that support that vs the Dell 21:9 which is widely supported now.

      My pick is the Dell.

      • Bargainendorphins on 11/05/2025 - 07:47

        Just chiming in on warranty experience with Samsung, have been told directly by Samsung that they don't cover a variety of panel issues like banding. My panel was not OLED when I was complaining to Samsung, but I can speak to their overall absolutely terrible warranties, customer service and low quality products. Every Samsung device I've ever had, whether it's a TV smart watch or phone, has died prematurely. I deal with enough premature issues in the bedroom and would never recommend the Samsung (or bedroom) experience to anyone.

  • ProjectZero on 11/05/2025 - 09:51

    I saw this a couple of days ago, but because the key features and the description on the site was based on the DWM specs… I didnt even bother asking JB…

    Question I have is, how well does QD OLED handle excel work since its mainly white backgrounds… I use my monitors for both work and play and mostly spend my work time in Excel. Anyone in a similar situation notice burn ins?

    • tinman42 on 12/05/2025 - 00:55

      use night mode in excel?

      • ProjectZero on 13/05/2025 - 20:05

        • tinman42 on 13/05/2025 - 20:07

          It's in the View tab: "Switch Modes"

    • ibilateral on 12/05/2025 - 11:12

      Its gonna be bright, like super bright. That being said, you can pixel refresh every 4 hrs (takes about 5-10min) and your screen is good to go again. It has a panel health icon (green->yellow after 4 hours) and I set the pixel refresh so its when it goes into standby mode.

    • sdm01 on 13/05/2025 - 01:06

      I use excel daily with my AW3225QF qd-oled.
      The trick is to crank the brightness all the way down. It's still bright enough to do work.
      I apply a night filter and move the window periodically onto a second non Oled monitor AW3821DW. Screen is set to sleep if no activity after 2 mins. Only had it for 5-6 months but no signs of burn in. I always let it finish the pixel refresh and cleaning cycles. Still I'm conscious not to leave excel on the screen for more than an hour (or few) at a time.

  • howard22 on 11/05/2025 - 09:55

    My goodness, got mine this Tuesday, the Gsync/freesync flicker is really bad in games and I already had the monitor "freeze" on me in standby mode, unable to be turned back on without pulling the plug. Fun.

    Display quality and HDR is fantastic though and matches my old aw3423dw, 240Hz is nice and smooth but the flicker (and bogus frame rate values in monitor osd fps display) really makes me want to return it unless I can find a suitable fix

    • bruc3 on 15/05/2025 - 22:06

      Just disable gsync/freesync then. I honestly think most modern games barely have noticeable tearing anyway.
