Mediocre sharpness / text fringing from ~110ppi triangular subpixel layout
Large, deep stand eats desk space

Where reviewers disagree Tom's Hardware found 'no flaws of consequence' and awarded Editor's Choice, while PCWorld was more critical — calling maximum HDR brightness 'lackluster' and flagging mediocre sharpness — though both still rate it the top ultrawide OLED.

DCI-P3 color gamut coverage: over 107%

The Alienware AW3423DWF's QD-OLED panel delivers a stunning picture that's on another level from even the very best LCD panels.

Console users will see black bars on either side of the image while playing, and you'll need to use DisplayPort for the full 3440x1440 at 165 Hz.

PCWorld lab-tested · 2022-12-22

SDR brightness: 250 nits · Full-screen HDR brightness (max): 306 nits · Peak HDR brightness (10% window): 453 nits · DCI-P3 color gamut: 99% · AdobeRGB color gamut: 95% · Color temperature: 6200K · Gamma: 2.2

The best ultrawide gaming monitor money can buy is even better than before.

I measured a maximum full-screen HDR brightness of 306 nits, and a maximum brightness of 453 nits when only 10 percent of the display was lit.

While the AW3423DWF has excellent image quality overall, it suffers a problem found in its predecessor: mediocre sharpness.
