Alienware 34 Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor Hits Record Low at $500

Alienware's top gaming monitor hits record low price

The Alienware 34 Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor is on sale for $499.99, a $200 discount from its original $699.99 price. This 28% price cut marks the monitor's lowest-ever price as Presidents' Day sales conclude.

PCMag awarded this model an Editor’s Choice Award, calling it "one of the best curved gaming monitors on the market." The sale is available through Amazon.

Key specs and design features

The monitor features a 34-inch curved QD-OLED display with a 3440 x 1440 resolution and a 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio. Its 1800R curvature is less pronounced than some gaming monitors, like the Corsair Xeneon Flex's 800R curve, which reduces glare while maintaining an immersive feel.

It sits on a sturdy V-shaped stand and includes Alienvision software. This feature lets users switch between four visual modes to optimize settings for different types of gameplay.

The core specifications for gamers are:

• 165Hz refresh rate (10Hz less than its predecessor)
• 1.4ms input lag for competitive play
• Brightness rated up to 1000 nits
• AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support (this model swaps out Nvidia G-Sync)

The QD-OLED advantage and a missing port

The monitor's main selling point is its Quantum Dot OLED panel. This technology delivers impressive contrast, true blacks, and vibrant colors, making it particularly strong for HDR gaming and use in darker rooms.

However, the monitor has a notable omission: it lacks an HDMI 2.1 port. This means it may not support the highest bandwidth features available on the latest gaming consoles and PCs, though its DisplayPort connection handles its native resolution and refresh rate.

Who should consider this deal

This Alienware monitor is ideal for gamers seeking a high-end ultrawide experience without an extreme curve. Its combination of top-tier OLED picture quality, fast response time, and immersive format makes it a standout for both gaming and media consumption.

At nearly 30% off, this deal represents a significant saving on a premium display. Given that it's a last-minute Presidents' Day promotion, the discounted price likely won't last long.
