Until everyone else can adequately stock, it’s Alienware domination at this time. They have prepared well in terms of stocks, doing their best with firmware updates and I think it is well deserved.

It has another FW update today! They been on top of issues. Can't say their not

[BillysFingers]

I just bought the MSI MPG321urx along with an Alienware Aurora R16 with an Nvidia RTX4090 and i couldn't be happier. No noticable issues with HDR. So far leaving it on and most of my games look stunning.

[SillyOne]

I pulled the trigger for two of them three days ago. They arrive tomorrow!

I just got the Alienware 32 and freaking love it. If I had the choice between that and a 4090 (over my old 6700XT), I'd take the monitor easy. Upscaling still looks amazing, true blacks, and HDR in Cyberpunk and BG3 looks freaking amazing (more than I'd get out of Raytracing). Not keen on curves, but don't even notice it.

TLDR I didnt bother waiting for impossible stock and bought the AW3225QF monitor. ZERO regrets and has already had about 2 to 3 firmware updates. there is one that came out today addressing some other issues.

[FuckYoutubeHandles]

I'm loving my Alienware, there was another firmware update yesterday adding up to 3 firmware updates already. Showing they actually care about their product.

I just bought the 32” Alienware . Couldn’t be happier . Had the LG27” 240hz Oled at 1440p . It was cool but the matte finish and the brightness just wasn’t it .

[Wisdomisgood]

I just don't like curved monitors, so that's an instant no to me for Alienware.

[benhoppe]

The answer I still can’t find is if the eArc audio will work with a DisplayPort input.

I also returned my Alienware, too many firmware issues and even a packaging issues (it was too tight/compact so there were smears from the protective plastic on the screen).
I'm still using my AW3423DWF which still is the best in multiple values among OLEDs, the 240hz refresh rate is just marketing to me anyway, on 4k even a 4090 is not gonna hits those refresh rates unless you're playing some competitive light game that you could play on a 1080ti.
The only reason I kinda want to switch is because of the glossy panel, 4k, not ultrawide and not curved.
I would've gone for the LG W-OLED, but it has a matte coating, which is sad and the ASUS is about 5% better in test results, but is it really worth 200 euros worth more than the msi? not imho.

[TG-Maverick]

Thank you for this video, I am definitely one of those that cant decide whether to buy the Alienware or wait on other ones.

[rickornFZ]

I've been waiting for the arrival of 32 inch OLEDs for years. The alienware has been at home for a week and I am very very happy with it

[Insanartist]

1500$ in Canada (with taxes it's around 1800$ where I live..Ouch.

I saw one refurbished on Best Buy for 1300$. Still hurts.

[CarnivoryHODL]

Gigabyte pricing leaked. $1199 for DP 2.1 4K 32in.

[Ryan-gcsd]

Alienware 32 might just be the endgame FOR NOW

[controverso]

I got the MSI 321 URX and like it a lot.

[RoyalBoyle]

ALL IThe reviews I see by users for the MSI 32" has been amazing. I want it.

[Majorzigzag]

It sucks here in Australia as they are priotising US over Austalia. I don't receive mine till 25th of April 😭
