Dell is having a 48-hour flash sale that ends Thursday evening at midnight EST. If you’re a gamer, consider my favorite deal so far, consider the Alienware 34 Curved QD-OLED gaming monitor for $799.99 (originally $999.99). This is the lowest price I’ve seen for this monitor over the last few months. (The Xbox Series S is also on sale, if you’re more of a console gamer.)
This 34-inch OLED curved gaming monitor came out in early 2023 with great reviews, garnering a 4.5 out of 5 from PCmag. Here’s a quick look at the specs:
Resolution: 3440 by 1440
Aspect Ratio: 21:9
Rated Screen Luminance: 1000 nits
Rated Contrast Ratio: 1,000,000:1
Pixel Refresh Rate: 165 Hz
Adaptive Sync: AMD FreeSync Premium Pro
Video Inputs: HDMI, DisplayPort
USB Ports: 2
Dimensions (HWD): 16.4 by 32.1 by 12 inches
Weight: 32.12 lbs
The one on sale is the standard black color, which has a glossy finish that can get some glare if you’re in a bright room. The monitor does a good job of getting rid of excess heat and has a cable box in the back if you like to have a nice clean look on your desk. The screen can turn 45 degrees to the sides, tilt 21 degrees up and 5 degrees down. Alienware makes it very easy to adjust the settings on your screen with a control joystick under the screen. It also has pre-set settings that you can choose if you’d rather not fiddle with the specifics.
The monitor has a curvature of 1,800mm or 1800R. The curvature makes the screen look bigger and can make games feel more immersive since more of your peripheral vision is filled with the screen. Alienware gives you a three-year warranty in case your screen burns from an image being left on the screen for too long, which is something that can happen to OLED screens.
