About this deal

With ComfortView Plus, you can game longer, thanks to an always on, built-in low-blue light screen technology that reduces blue light emissions without impacting colour accuracy. motion handling is superb, making this a great monitor for fast-moving games like shooters or racing titles, while the curved 34-inch screen is suitably immersive.

Display resolution: 3440 x 1440 pixels, HD type: Quad HD, Display technology: OLED, Response time: 0. Testing of some modes might be based on a different gamma but we will state that in the commentary if applicable. The only things we turned off were the ECO mode and ambient light sensor in the “others” menu to ensure they didn’t impact the measurements.Because I deal with gaming monitors all day, though, it wasn't long before I got the HDR image looking accurate by applying the "Custom Color" preset at the bottom of the menu, and maxing out all three values inside (R,G,B) manually. It might have also been nice to have an Adobe RGB emulation option here for those who might want to work in that colour space for professional or photography uses. Luminance, black depth and contrast ratio (static) – measuring the brightness, black depth and resulting contrast ratio of the mode being tested, whether that is at default settings or later after calibration and profiling. You can run this manually in the OSD menu as well, although we’d advise against that as it’s probably the kind of thing that could impact lifespan if you run it too often.

Dell have also had the screen certified under the ‘ VESA DisplayHDR 400 True Black‘ scheme (not to be confused with the normal HDR 400 level), while also offering an additional mode which boasts a peak brightness of 1000 nits which is impressive for an OLED panel. DCI-P3 coverage across wide viewing angles, offering factory-calibrated accuracy with a Delta E less than 2. Now, to be sure, some of this comes down to the flexibility, no pun intended, offered by OLED technology. At the top end the screen reached ~240 nits which was a little shy of the specified 250 nits from Dell but pretty close.This should also help reduce blue light output, although both remain to be confirmed in practice through testing.

We saw some fluctuations during our testing depending on what else was on the screen, and depending on how large the test area was that our i1 Display Pro Plus was measuring. With this being an OLED panel, famous for its true blacks and amazing contrast ratio this could be considered a problem. While display technologies like OLED are, and have been for quite some time, the outright dominant panel pick for color and quality in televisions, the story of OLED-backed PC monitors is one of frustrating fits and starts.

The screen is really aimed at gaming and multimedia, and so if your primary uses are going to be for that kind of dynamic content you probably don’t need to worry too much.We carried out a calibration of the monitors OSD menu along with a software profiling of the screen using our calibration device and software. Because this happens every time the monitor powers down, Alienware says it's confident that users shouldn't see issues with, say, icons on their desktop or their Start Menu buttons burning into the 34's panel.

Dell have instead combined an anti-reflective coating with the panel and the result is a semi-glossy appearance. In SDR mode the screen is capable of displaying pretty much the max brightness even at 100% white APL (i.

From a colour point of view you can see from the top left CIE diagram that the colour space of the display extended a long way beyond the standard sRGB reference colour space.Again, we can't help but reference Apple here, with respect to Alienware's recent cadence of refinement. In practice this seems to do a reasonable job of reducing reflections we found compared with a fully glossy solution, and the screen is noticeably less mirror-like than something like the LG C2 OLED TV which we had chance to set up side by side in fact. In addition to its sleek QD-OLED curved 1800R panel, the AW3423DWF monitor features improved cable management, 360° ventilation for better heat dissipation and a new centralised On-Screen Display (OSD) joystick to make adjusting your settings easier. Experience ultra-low latency gameplay, support for HDR and cinematic color, plus smooth, tear-free gaming thanks to NVIDIA G-SYNC ULTIMATE certification.
