Alienware Announces the AW3420DW Monitor: 34" 4K, Nano Color IPS, 120 Hz, G-Sync
Alienware have announced their new flagship gaming monitor, which manifests in the form of the AW3420DW monitor. This is a 34" monitor with 4K (3440 x 1440) resolution powered by a fast, 120 Hz refresh rate IPS panel. Alienware have designed their Nano Color technology into this monitor, which means that it can cover 98% of the DCI-P3 and 134.5% of the sRGB color gamuts.
The 350 nits brightness are nothing to write home about, and exclude any sort of HDR rendition on this monitor from the start. The 1000:1 contrast ratio and the "fast" GtG response time should be more than enough for most gamers' needs, and the 1900R curvature should ensure all points of the monitor are at the same focal distance for improved image quality. NVIDIA's G-Sync makes an appearance, and output connectors include 1x DisplayPort 1.2, 1x HDMI 1.4 port, 4x USB 3.0 and 3.5-mm audio connectors. There's RGB lighting on the back of the monitor, and the full retail price of this piece of kit will go for $1,499.

WQHD != UHD
Wtf !?
4K = 8.2MP
This = 4.9MP
C'mon...
Still, doesn't seem like a huge upgrade from the current version apart from the nano-ips
3440x1440................. Basically a recycled adw18
Then took a look at that bs resolution. FALSE ADVERTISING!!!!
120Hz not 144Hz
Handicapped 350 nits
Overpriced G-Sync module.
Nobody would want this for $1,499.
*EDIT*
How is the clickbait headline STILL up? Alienware isn't advertising this as a 4k screen at all. It's literally an LG Ultragear w/ RGB, barely even newsworthy, but way to drive traffic TPU. lolz
Change the misleading headline.
That price is ludicrous compared to the LG Ultragears, especially with the Freesync version working flawlessly with nVidia cards and running at 144hz.
