Alienware Demos 34-inch QD-OLED Monitor at CES
Although Samsung apparently wasn't ready to show off its rumoured 34-inch QD-OLED monitor at CES, Alienware stepped up and demonstrated a fully working model that is said to be launching as soon as the 29th of March in the US market. The Alienware 34 Curved QD-LED Gaming Monitor or the AW3423DW as it's also known as, uses a curved QD-OLED panel from Samsung, with QD standing for Quantum Dot, a technology used to boost colours in various types of display panels.
The Alienware 34 Curved QD-LED Gaming Monitor offers a resolution of 3440x1440, which gives it an aspect ratio of 21:9. It's said to feature Nvidia's G-Sync Ultimate, with refresh rates of up to 175 Hz over DP and 100 Hz over HDMI. It has a typical brightness of only 250 cd/m², but as this is an HDR capable display, this can go as high as 1000 cd/m² in HDR mode. The monitor sports one DisplayPort 1.4, two HDMI 2.0 ports and three USB 3.2 ports at 5 Gbps, as well as a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a line-out jack. No word on pricing as yet, but it would be silly to presume this will be a cheap monitor.

That is why screen diagonal is so so important when buying a monitor.
It took me about a week to get fully adjusted to it really.
because flat ultra widescreen its much much better from any angle......
The only flat 34 inch ultrawide I see on the market is the Gigabyte G34WQC
Time to upgrade from my 34UC99? Still concern about the burn-in, I may want to wait for long-term reviews.Thing that looks better in your eyes doesn't mean it looks good for everyone else. It's called personal tastes.
For 34" I prefer curved to flat all the way.
This product is just not for you then, Acer and LG has some flat 34" monitors too you know.Curved monitors are indeed sexy looking!! But not too much curve for me (1800R max is the best, 1900R is ideal)
Some people fail to understand the concept of personal preferences/tastes.
that is curved ultrawide monitor too....

It doesn't have anything to do with understanding tech. You seem to be missing the entire point here.
As I said, if you hate curved display, you are free to buy any flat display.. it's your personal preferences, no need to attack anyone with different opinion.
As long as you're aware of this, we're fine. I don't want this thread to be misleading.
Hmmm...I'm not sure about that. Been using ultrawide curved monitor for everyday for years now, and I never find anything technically wrong with it. Although I'm very very aware that buying curved display was the correct decision I made.
You're already misleading. Flat or curved displays are not technically right or wrong options. They are both technically right options, either which one works best for the user. It's as simple as that. There are tons of flat vs curved display discussions/articles if you Google, you'll understand what I mean if you read them.Are you describing yourself here?
Well, in the end it's up to you if you want to call curved display a "technically wrong" option, I just hope you don't mislead other people who want to get recommendation in buying monitor.
Have a nice day.
