Dell is honored to be the first manufacturer to launch a QD-OLED gaming monitor in the market. It is true that Samsung has its own model, but it is most likely that until the IFA in Berlin, which will be held during the second week of September in the German capital, we will not see what this Samsung Odyssey QD-OLED looks like. But in the meantime, we are receiving more data from the Dell Alienware AW3423DW, a curved model that wants to revolutionize the gamer scene.
First, it was the official price of this monitor with an unpronounceable name, and which was surprisingly lower than we expected, not exceeding $1,299. We also had quite a bit of information about this Dell Alienware AW3423DW, although now all the secrets are out.
You can now consult the user manual for the Dell Alienware AW3423DW
We knew you would have a 32-inch diagonal type ultrawide (21:9), in addition to a curvature of 1800R and a resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels. On the other hand, the manufacturer has opted for a QD-OLED panel to guarantee the best image quality, in addition to a three-year guarantee against possible burning or retention problems.
But here comes the first point that squeaks. At user manual the following is indicated: During the manufacturing process of QD-OLED monitorsit is not uncommon for one or more pixels to become fixed in an unvarying state, which are difficult to see and do not affect the quality of the screen or its use. For more information on Dell’s monitor quality and pixel policy, see Dell’s Display Pixel Guidelines.
We will have to see the first units to see if this problem happens regularly, since the device is very interesting. More, when we know that this QD-OLED monitor for gaming has support for Nvidia G-SYNC and will be certified with DisplayHDR 400 True Black to guarantee up to 1000 nits of brightness. It is also capable of covering 99.3% of the DCI-P3 color space and 149% of sRGB, with a response time of 0.1 ms.
Regarding other novelties that we have been able to see in the user guide, it should be noted that the Dell AW3423W offers very low energy consumption:
- Energy consumption:
- 0.3W (off mode)
- 0.5W (standby mode)
- 42.3W (on mode)
- 200W (maximum)
It is also Vesa compatible and offers a viewing area of 86.82 cm (34.18 inches). A surprise that we did not like comes with the fact that it has DisplayPort and HDMI in version 2.0. Therefore, you will not be able to connect your latest generation console to the new Dell gaming monitor as it will not work at 4K 120HZ. It is strange that they have not opted for an HDMI 2.1, but they will have their reasons. We leave you with the dimensions of this product.
Now that you know the dimensions of this device, it is worth remembering the maximum resolution it offers with its resolution and frequency.
Without a doubt, a very complete model although The lack of an HDMI 2.1 port is disappointing, and especially the one that you should take into account that it may have a pixel burned out of the factory.
