New Alienware QD OLED - Better, Brighter, Faster

Right now the best monitor under 42” is the Alienware AW3423DW QD OLED, and if you own one or know someone who owns one it’s obvious to see why.

Not only is it bright and fast with OLEDs near instantaneous response times especially at 175Hz, but it’s also one of the only monitors that hasn’t been completely mangled with a matte finish. You know sometimes I take a look at these LG OLED monitors that could have been so good before they wiped the screen between their cheeks and tossed it down the stairs so it could have an “anti reflective coating”, and I just have to say god is good.

Now the Great News is Samsung with their QD OLEDs understands that when your paying big bucks you expect a great image and thus they have made the decision to put a glossy coating on all their QD OLED displays, which includes not only the aforementioned AW3423DW, but also should include their upcoming 2023 QD OLEDs which should be a huge improvement over last years models.

In fact according to Victors Reality Alienware will be announcing their new model very soon, and if we take a look at the calendar Computex is also coming up very soon, meaning yes there’s a good chance that between May 30th and June 2nd we could be getting our first glimpse at a major upgrade to one of the best monitors ever made.

Now if you're wondering what the specs of these 2023 QD OLED V2 monitors are, here's what you should be expecting.

30% higher brightness thanks to the new tech Samsung is using in their 2023 QD OLEDs.
2X durability meaning far less chance of burn in
A 240Hz refresh rate making it great for competitive gaming… if you're ok with Ultrawide.

Now these specs and even the release date aren’t confirmed yet, but based on all the info I’ve seen on upcoming displays it’s likely to be at least close to this, and certainly there will be some sort of upgraded QD OLED 34” monitors this year, but if your hoping they’ll move to 4K HAHAHAHA

Did you really think that monitor makers would just what? Give you what you want, don’t be ridiculous, they need to drip feed improvements for at least a couple more years, and I’m sure all the monitor sellers will be very upset when the first company finally decides to make a 32” 4K 144Hz or better monitor, but hopefully we do see something like that sooner or later, because seeing it on the 55” S95C I can tell you it’s definitely end game.

That laugh/cough about 4k really got me off guard. 😨

[oddy.]

I love how the display guy express himself about the Lg's matte finish 😂

[steverupert]

You’re right—the first company to make a 32” OLED in 16x9 ratio with a glossy screen will absolutely own the market. 💯

I need a 27inch 4k 240hz OLED monitor which is with a glossy finish
just 3 more years and I can utilize my 3060ti to run csgo at 4k 240fps

currently using the LG GQ950 32" 4k 160hz IPS monitor, i bought it 3-4 months ago and loving it despite it not being an OLED.
i figured that it will take at least another year or two before we even start to see the first 32" OLED monitors and probably the first models won't exactly hit it out of the parc in terms of brightness, so usually its always best to wait for the second generation of certain monitor specifications and then pull the trigger. Plus i guess the first models will be insanely expensive (i expect at least 1300$ for 32" 4k OLED 240hz).
so i speculate that i will be in the market for a new monitor in 2025 if we get the first 32" 4k OLED monitors at some point in 2024.

I’d do some dirty things for a 32” 4k oled. I’d go for the ultrawides if it wasn’t for the damn text fringing issue. I work and game on this and the text fringing issue is a deal breaker for me

[swiftxs]

I just want to know what monitor your using with that flight sim because it looks amazing.

[spartaninvictus]

Why the Gsync version is not availbe on marketing anywhere ??

[francescosorci]

Still waiting for a 32" 16:9 Glossy OLED 1440p / 4K in July 2023 x

[bobjames-sd]

@thedisplayguy what do you think are the chances that alienware announces a 32" OLED monitor at CES 2024?

[Seriksy]

I've had the G8 for sometime and have had no problems with mine. A buddy of mine have the Alienware and the G8 screen looks more crisp

[fwiler]

I wouldn't care about more brightness or higher refresh rate if they could get normal pixels for legible text.

[spirosv]

Still waiting for 4k 240hz hdr flat non ultra wide monitors:(

[TacticoolNinja]

Samsung Odyssey Neo G8 has been fantastic for me.

[SUSSYMEMES]

Literally just want a slightly brighter as oled 4k ultrawide that’s my end game

[badpuppy]

You're so mean to continually mock our desire for 4K!

[prophetseven]

Im torn from buying an OLED vs 4k for Editing. Suchs as Photos and Video. Im not sure which is better for the task. I do gaming about 5% So really I do not care about the gaming part. Although it nice to have it.

[michaeljordan]

Sad we need to buy a 4k QD-OLED TV because monitors are not ready..
