2024 is the year of 4K OLED gaming monitors. Unlike IPS-based 4K gaming monitors, these new QD-OLED 4K monitors feature faster refresh rates, response times, and much better picture quality. LG was the first to announce its Ultragear 32GS95UE last month. Followed by MSI’s MPG 321URX and Asus’ ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP. Now, Alienware reveals its 32-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor – the Alienware AW3225QF, dubbed the world’s first QD-OLED gaming monitor with Dolby Vision HDR. Check out more details from the news release below, including specs and pricing.
Alienware AW3225QF – World’s first 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor with Dolby Vision HDR
Meet the AW3225QF, a 2024 CES Innovation Award Honoree designed to blend aesthetics and performance for an exceptional visual experience. The 4K curved QD-OLED panel is carefully crafted to minimize reflections, providing an extended peripheral vision with infinite contrasts, true blacks, and up to 1000nits peak luminance for a comfortable viewing experience. Immerse yourself fully in the game and stay on top of the action.
Crafted for PC gamers and content creators seeking top-notch 4K visuals, the AW3225QF features a swift 240Hz native refresh rate, 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time, and supports Dolby Vision® HDR and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400.
Dolby Vision® HDR enhances your viewing experience with a remarkably realistic picture, offering increased brightness, broader contrast, more vibrant colors, and sharper details. This technology achieves highlights up to 40 times brighter and blacks ten times darker than standard pictures, providing a captivating visual experience for your favorite content.
Eliminate the annoyance of screen tears and stutter for seamless gameplay with NVIDIA G-SYNC and VESA AdaptiveSync. The AW3225QF is NVIDIA G-SYNC Compatible, ensuring a reliable Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) experience for tear-free and stutter-free gaming.
Not using a PC? No worries. Alienware’s high-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 FRL (Fixed Rate Link) enables players to attain 120Hz performance from the latest next-gen game consoles at 4K resolution, featuring standard VRR support and auto low-latency for optimal controller responsiveness.
Enhance your experience by activating the dedicated console mode, which optimizes HDR performance through source-based tone mapping. Moreover, eARC compatibility enables Dolby Atmos speakers or other soundbars with an eARC port, eliminating the need for extra optical cables and preserving your aesthetic setup.
Display Superiority
QD-OLED, a fusion of OLED and Quantum Dot tech in Alienware monitors, enhances color accuracy and contrast. The 3-layer Quantum Dots structure, with self-emitting blue pixels and QD nanoparticles, produces the screen’s diverse colors.
The AW3225QF features an infinite contrast ratio for detailed colors and smooth video playback, covering 99% and 99.3% of the DCI-P3 gamut. With Delta E < 2 color accuracy, they offer impressive performance.
Dell’s ComfortView Plus, a TUV-certified hardware solution, reduces harmful blue light while preserving true-to-life colors, prioritizing eye wellness for prolonged gaming sessions.
The AW3225QF includes a 3-year limited OLED burn-in hardware warranty for those concerned about OLED burn-in, offering confidence and peace of mind during gaming.
