Two of Alienware's best QD-OLED gaming monitors plummet to record-low prices

Dell/Alienware's OLED gaming monitors have been top-notch, especially in terms of value. Currently, thanks to Amazon's Big Deal Days, you can find a 27-inch 360 Hz monitor or a 34-inch ultrawide for the most affordable prices ever. The AW3426DW 34-inch ultrawide OLED gaming monitor is usually $799.99, but it's now priced at $629.99.

This 34-inch, 3440 x 1440 panel boasts an impressive 280 Hz refresh rate and brighter visuals due to its innovative five-layer tandem technology. Reviewers have commended its vibrant colors and minimal input lag with perfect motion resolution.

Additionally, the AW2725DF 26.7-inch OLED gaming monitor is discounted from $649.99 to $469.99. This 2560 x 1440 screen can achieve 360 Hz refresh rates and features a wider color gamut than other OLEDs, along with an impressive 0.03 ms response time. Reviewers have highlighted its extensive feature set, labeling it nearly perfect for gaming or productivity when space is at a premium.

Both monitors have been tested and earned Editors' Choice status for their outstanding performance. The AW2725DF is slightly older, having debuted in 2024, but it employs a newer panel compared to the AW3426DW. Both screens display vivid colors and deep blacks, with the AW3426DW showing excellent accuracy right out of the box. Minor adjustments can result in 105% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space.

Our testing of the smaller AW2725DF confirms that either choice is an exceptional option for gaming or a combination of gaming and productivity, particularly at these unprecedentedly low price points.
