The Alienware AW3423DWF has always been a top pick for us, and it's easy to see why! It started at over $1,000, but that price has been dropping steadily since it came out three years ago. When we last visited the monitor in October, it was selling for $521.99. However, it's not down to an all-time low of just $499.99 as part of Amazon's early Black Friday deals.
This AW3423DWF, which we gave a perfect 5 out of 5 stars, has a 34-inch Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) panel with a 3440 x 1440 resolution and an 1800R curve. The refresh rate isn't as fast as some newer screens, but it's still pretty good at 165 Hz. Plus, it supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and is compatible with Nvidia G-Sync.
You'll find two DisplayPort 1.4 ports and one HDMI 2.0 port for your video needs, and Alienware includes a USB 3.2 hub with four downstream ports. Just a heads-up, there aren't any speakers on the AW3423DWF, but it does have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
We found that the AW3423DWF excelled in input lag tests against its peers. We measured input lag at just 27 ms, putting it at the head of the class.
