There isn't many reviews on this monitor but for $179 this is fantastic. It's not OLED but it's a nice 10 bit color accurate IPS panel with no ghosting. Mine didn't come with any severe backlit bleeding or dead pixels on arrival. But there is IPS glow , because of the coating it's more apparent. Just keep the brightness down and it looks fantastic. I've seen a lot of people complain about no speakers or headphone jack. Just get a DAC for your console or desktop and buy speakers. It's an excellent monitor that's built solid. Read more
What can I say the Black Friday deal on this was insane. I was able to get a monitor that otherwise I would not normally buy due to the price the features were solid the image is amazing and it looks fantastic the stand is durable and probably the best one I've ever seen. I would recommend this for gamers and just about anyone who needs a monitor for their setup you won't be disappointed Read more
I was a little skeptical because I k ow Alienware are know for being over priced but this one I think was under priced. It provides great quality honestly I haven’t had a monitor this good. It just performed great for gaming and photo editing. It allows you to see true colors. And the size is just perfect allows me to exchange it for 2 monitors I had previously so it takes up less space. Read more
Let me be VERY clear: This is a GREAT budget curved monitor. If you want that immersive wrap-around gaming feel without selling a kidney, this thing delivers. The colors are solid, the brightness is clean, and the curve makes you feel just a little more important than you actually are. Now here’s where I messed up. I made the fatal, unforgivable, absolutely rookie mistake of putting this beautiful, innocent, perfectly fine monitor directly next to an OLED. Listen… If you’ve never compared a normal panel to OLED side-by-side, DO NOT START NOW. Save yourself. Save your expectations. Save your wallet. Because the moment I powered up my OLED and saw those deep blacks, explosive colors, and “I can see into another dimension” contrast, the AW3425DWM never stood a chance. It was like parking a Honda next to a Ferrari — the Honda is great, reliable, budget-friendly… but guess what I’m driving home in? Gameplay on the AW3425DWM was genuinely enjoyable. But once the OLED lit up next to it, my eyes said: “Nope. Not doing this. Return it.” And that’s exactly what I did. So here’s my official verdict: 👍 If you’re NOT comparing it to an OLED: This monitor is fantastic for the price. Great curved experience, solid colors, fast response, everything you’d want in a mid-tier setup. 👎 If you ARE comparing it to an OLED: You’re going to cry, pack it up, and send it back like I did. Alienware makes awesome stuff — but OLED is a different universe. Once you cross over, there’s no coming back. Read more
Amazing panels and colors. Comes with everything you need, and it’s, hands down, the easiest setup I have done so far. Would definitely buy it again. I am currently using it as an extension to my Laptop, but I would definitely keep it once I upgrade to a PC. I usually play League of Legends, Valorant, E33, WWM, and Sekiro. They all work great!

Bought this monitor on sale for 179.99 because it was capable of supporting the PS5's Variable Refresh Rates feature. The build quality, color accuracy and refresh rate are all great, but the HDR performance is terrible. It's practically unusable due to the low brightness that cannot be adjusted with the SMART HDR setting on. Keep that setting off and set the monitor's brightness to your heart's content. I personally don't care for HDR, so I am giving the monitor five stars. Read more
Nice monitor. No physical issues with it. There is significant light bleed around the edges but that’s been referenced many times from professional reviewers with this specific monitor. As long as the room has some light in it, it’s fine. Read more
