Alienware’s OLED gaming monitors were already among the most affordable from any major brand. But with Amazon Prime Day wrapping up, there’s a deal on an older model that you shouldn’t overlook. The 34-inch ultrawide model from a couple of years ago is going for $549.99, fully half off its original retail price.
The Alienware AW3423DWF uses a semi-standard 3440×1440 resolution and has a 165Hz refresh rate, a little slow compared to the newest designs, but still more than enough to make your gaming PC sweat on the latest AAA games. Matt Smith praised its contrast and color, though noting it lacks USB-C for easy laptop connections and has a bit of a chunky stand. (That’s okay, you can use a VESA stand.) For the full breakdown, check out the full PCWorld review.
Amazon has this marked as a “Prime Day” deal, which means you’ll need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber in order to get it. You can find one for less than you might think, but if you’d rather not, the “regular” $650 price is still pretty good even for an older design. For other deals be sure to check out our Prime Day monitor roundup, which includes deals from around the web.
