Alienware’s popular ultrawide OLED gaming monitor is cheaper than ever
You’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity, stalking the web for months, patiently passing up the big deal days, both Prime and Black. Your quarry: A big, juicy OLED gaming monitor at a truly remarkable price. Your restraint is remarkable, and today it’s going to pay off. Because you can get a 34-inch Alienware OLED for just $449.99.
We’ve featured the Alienware AW3423DWF monitor many times, and you can read the full review here. But long story short, it’s a 34-inch ultrawide, 3440×1440 in a popular gaming resolution. At 165Hz of refresh it’s fast, but not the fastest especially after most OLEDs have been bumped up to 240Hz at least. It’s also a little basic in terms of connection, with just one HDMI port, two DisplayPort, um, ports, and a bunch of USB, but not USB-C video or power for laptops. Even three years after debuting, this monitor remains popular since it’s consistently the most affordable ultrawide OLED from a major brand.
Dell is selling it for $499.99 on its site — already a deal for a monitor that debuted at $1,100. But as SlickDeals posters have pointed out, you can do a little extra leg work to take an additional 10 percent off, bringing it down to $450. You’ll need to go to the Dell Rewards site, sign in or create an account (you can use Google), and scroll down to the “Dell Benefits” area, where there’s a 10 percent coupon for Alienware monitors. Click “Claim Offer,” copy the coupon code, and then check out with the monitor. At the time of writing on December 11th, it’s still working, and showing free shipping to my home in Pennsylvania.

As far as I can tell, this is the cheapest this particular Alienware monitor has ever been in a new, not-refurbished state, and finding a name-brand OLED of any size under $500 is rare. It is an amazing deal. But if it’s not quite what you’re looking for, then check out PCWorld’s roundup of the best monitors on the market.
