          Well, maybe some touch up of photo on lightroom etc. Other 4k monitor seems to be the same ball park in price, so why not this one being OLED? :)

            @KiwiRoo: I would assume you’d want your $1000+ purchase to last over 3 years. Look at Monitors Unboxed’s OLED burn in test.

            Also, what are you looking for in “other monitors”? You can definitely find very good, color accurate non-OLED 4k monitors way under 1k

            • virtual81 on 13/06/2025 - 22:47

              @jpeg-jpg: I think it will last 3 years.
              Hardware unboxed are trying their best to deliberately burn in monitors.
              Yeah, burn in is a thing, but you're not going to see what HUB are seeing with regular use…. and if you do it's covered by warranty.

              • jpeg-jpg on 14/06/2025 - 14:08

                @virtual81: Key word there being over 3 years. Idk what you do for work, but my monitor use case for work is similar, 8 hours a day, rarely any breaks, displaying the same thing over and over again.

                If I bought a $1000+ monitor for work, I do not want it to last for only around 3 years.

                That’s before taking into account the fact that OLED’s advantages are wasted if you’re just web browsing and ms excel in the first place.

                A $400-500 4k monitor would give you the advantages of 4k, without the drawbacks of OLED.

    Good price, but better off going for the LG equivalent at $1399 for a screen that's usable in light and 480hz/240hz

        I’ve had all of these and unless you’re playing in a pitch black room, the blacks turn grey and it’s not worth getting

        • 4slime on 14/06/2025 - 15:51

          This is such a common take on OLEDs and yet everyone ignores the incredible colours, response time and pin-point accurate brightness that you still get even when it's day time. My OLED is the brightest monitor I've used and raised blacks mean nothing unless all you care about is looking at black screens or very dark scenes in movies/games which IPS would be just as bad at conveying.

            -1

            @4slime: It’s specifically QD-OLED’s not WOLED, that’s why I recommended the LG equivalent above.

            If you’re not looking at dark scenes or don’t care about them, why buy an OLED? If you look at RTings latest tests, a QD-OLED in a bright room has worse contrast than any IPS or even TN screen

            • Informant V on 16/06/2025 - 18:04

              @cille745: I just sort of impulse shopped the LG dual mode for about $1270 after loyalty discount - the https://www.lg.com/au/monitors/ultragear-gaming/32gs95uv-b/

              The reason for choosing the LG over the Alienware is that I needed a flat screen with pivot mode - and also little things like ongoing software updates, the speakers for Youtube and work. The LG is semi-glossy which is good enough for me.

    • jasswolf on 14/06/2025 - 21:31

      This is way, way, way more complex than you're making it seem. RTings also do a terrible job with this, but what else is new while their 'user-driven', 'self-funded' content also quietly gets pressured into leading you to an affiliate link to buy a product.

      QD-OLED methods in place today have no polarizer, which means black levels are raised when you shine light onto the panel. In a room lit up by a 1000 lumen lighting - a reasonable daytime scenario with light streaming into the room and an overhead light on - early QD-OLED monitor panels rise to 3.5 nits, later panels drop 2.5 nits, and standard WOLED panels hit… 1 nit.

      So neither appears completely black to the human eye, though one has a slightly more visible impact that is more visible with dark content in that scenario. But that's only one component of visibility in a bright room.

      Alongside that, you have matte vs glossy, and each company's approach to this. LG cheap out on both, meaning you have to contend with strong reflection glare on their glossy, and grainier viewing on their matte (as well as more reflection glare than Samsung's matte efforts).

      In addition to this, you have the two approaches in terms of screen brightness: brighter colours versus using a white sub-pixel to boost brightness.

      LG's WOLED approach washes out colour volume and gamut, hitting high peak white brightness at points and perhaps being brighter in near-white scenes more consistently, but falls behind everywhere else, meaning the QD-OLED typically measure brighter, but clearly appears brighter in most of the other content due to how human vision works.

      So do you want the idea of inky blacks but more visible glare in the least ideal scenario for detailed viewing that has to wash out colours even more to be adequately visible, or do you want rich colours in all scenarios, better glare handling, and the slightest warming of the tint in the daytime and a mild affectation of black levels that is competing with the screen luminance and glare anyway.

      Matte vs Glossy vs Semi-Glossy is a series of choices, and varies again with each manufacturer, but I believe QD-OLED vs WOLED is an overall win to Samsung's choices, though clearly LG's approach brought them to market far sooner. LG seems to think their approach is dated as well, which is why they're now heavily invested in tandem RGB to deliver better colour volume and gamut sooner, as both companies race towards providing brighter true RGB subpixel arrangements via improvements in blue phosphorescent OLEDs (PHOLED) finally being realised.

      TLDR: there's a strong argument that Samsung's matte approach is the current ideal for bright room conditions, which is why they sell it as a premium option now on their TVs and monitors.

        Nothing. I use it at maximum 240Hz and 4K resolution.

          Can confirm this, the high DPI makes any fringing (if any) invisible unless you're sitting single-digit centimetres from the panel.

    The text should be fine on this model. It is the 34" QD-OLED model with the blurry text (AW3425DW & AW3423DW)

    • iMagoo on 13/06/2025 - 21:11

      Text is still naturally clearer on the 27", Rtings says as much.

      • Sleepycat3 on 13/06/2025 - 22:16

        It's not because of QD-OLED, it is because of pixel density.

        • tm8ate on 14/06/2025 - 12:07

          OLEDs can appear ‘blurry’ due to their sub-pixel arrangements, but this effect becomes less noticeable as pixel density increases.

    • djmm on 14/06/2025 - 01:05

    It's not endgame for me until they manage to fix VRR flickering

    • BradH13 on 14/06/2025 - 11:42

      I haven't seen VRR flicker on either of my OLED screens (a 2021 model and a 2024 model) since I upgraded my PC from a 9900K 2080 Ti rig to a 7800X3D 4080 rig.

      VRR flicker happens when your PC is struggling to maintain a consistent frametime. When you're spending money on this kind of screen, you likely have the means or already have a high end PC and it's a nonissue at that point.

      • AreYouAWiiizard on 15/06/2025 - 01:07

        I still have a 6700XT and 5700X so that would be a common scenario for me. I mainly want it for video quality and I don't really game much anymore but when I do I don't want to deal with that as I'm very sensitive to it (I can see it occurring with dynamic contrast on my current VA monitor).

    • 4slime on 14/06/2025 - 15:54

      VRR flickering only happens with signficant frame rate changes and I've only experienced it noticeably once on this display and it's not been an issue

      That, this and the HP Omen Transcend 32 all apparently use the same or very similar panels, it mostly comes down to price and what features you want.

      The samsung and LG are brighter and score a bit higher in HDR tests, but the HP has better color reproduction.

      The HP also has a gloss panel like on OLED phones, the others have traditional IPS matte shielding.

      I personally went with the HP Omen in the previous deal for $100 less than this as it has more features (KVM, 140W PD charging, best OSD, newer DP/HDMI versions) and I prefer the gloss panel and color reproduction over HDR brightness - I haven't had any issue with the brightness or reflections and I'm near a large window.

      Comparison of all 3 and others: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2558718/hp-omen-transcend-32…

    • AJbargains on 17/06/2025 - 22:41

      I'm thinking the same.
      The G80SD has Tizen OS built in with GeForce Now works out of the box, no need for a PC or Mac.
      It even comes with a remote which is convenient for watching movies from bed.

      The downsides are: it's using the older QD-OLED panel and from what I've heard Samsung's support isn’t the best if something goes wrong.

      Thanks! Makes it cheaper than the original post price, and coupon is valid for a couple of months, so plenty of time to think about it. I have a 34" Kogan ultrawide that has served me well, but I'm seriously tempted by OLED. The only thing is this is a lot more pixels for my aging PC to be pushing. Hopefully would still look good with scaling up from a lower resolution?

    The refurb version of this is also up and available right now.
    https://www.dell.com/en-au/outlet/refurbished-alienware-32-4…
    If it sells out, keep the above kink bookmarked, it will re-appear there.

    Not a great deal currently though.. Was $1099 when i got mine (showing $1,219 today, only $114 cheaper than OP).
    It did arrive with no evidence of being refurbished, looks immaculate, packaging all seems original and intact.
    6 months in still thrilled with it.
    Regular scaling or DLSS / FSR works wonders on modern mid tier GPUs
    4K @ 240Hz with HDR is butter.
    Also spec is missing from website but can confirm with current firmware Freesync is fully supported.

    Received the monitor and can confirm the color fringing is pretty shit. Green hue around the text, very prominent on white background. So pretty bad for general browsing and excel spread sheet. (https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/12qnid…) Same problem as this older model as reported here.

    Monitor is pretty deep as well so if your table is not deep it takes almost half your desk space.

      Taking it back. Its fine now, just have to turn off the HDR and do a bit of stuffing around with the settings. Pretty happy with the monitor considering I have pretty basic graphic card to run it..

      • happykamper on 17/06/2025 - 15:17

        Just wondering what settings you changed, basic specs of your PC, and how games run for you? I have a 34" Kogan ultra wide, but am seriously tempted by this. My main concern is my 6 year old PC struggling to get reasonable frames at 4k. I'd probably consider some scaling options.
