Looking for the following monitor if it exists

Dogtag19 · 28 Feb 2022 at 16:27

Hi All,

I have been browsing for a new monitor for a little while now and i cant quite seem to find what im looking for, or at least, the ones im seeing are not grabbing me enough to go, thats it. Could do with some suggestions/advice if possible.

Price isnt really a concern.

So im looking for the following features:

- Ultrawide
- mini LED, NANO LED etc whatever you want to call it
- High refresh rate, preferable 100fps or above
- HDR
- G sync

I currently own the Asus ROG PG348Q. Fantastic as it is, its missing the HDR and mini LED backlighting that i want.

Appreciate the help. open to other/better suggestions if anyone has any, i have my ultimate rig so now just need the monitor to go along to compliment it.

You’d be best waiting for the new QD OLED from Alienware.

It does everything you want.

Iv always been skeptical of Alienware gear. How are their monitors? Is there nothing currently on market and is Alienware the only brand doing this?

Alienware are the first, but they won’t be the last.

It’s a new Samsung Display technology, and so Samsung have their own version coming out.

Alienware is typically high quality, so I wouldn’t not choose them if they’re offering a good product :-)

You might pay a bit of a premium for the brand (this goes for both Dell and Alienware), but the monitors themselves are top notch, and the higher end ones generally come with a 3 year next business day warranty. I'm very happy with my current Alienware monitor, and also my previous Dell ultrawide

The one you want is the QD-OLED which is coming out on 22nd March - AW3423DW.

Big thread on it here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...and-samsung-34-inch-ultrawide-175hz.18945041/

If you want something a bit bigger then the A3821DW is out now which is a 38" 3840x1600 ultrawide. However, it's Nano-IPS rather than OLED, so while the picture quality is very good, there's still the potential for IPS glow and the local dimming isn't great
