2 years post release and still one of the best
For well over a year the Alienware AW3225QF was a certain review website's top pick for a gaming OLED. It's still a top choice, but newer fancier models from a couple of other manufacturers have supplanted it as top dog. Mainly because those newer monitors are capable of 480Hz refresh rate. I'm of the opinion that short of a few features, this monitor still outperforms those newer models in the 240Hz and below refresh category. There are very few negatives to speak of, so I may as well get them out of the way first. - No DisplayPort 2.1 support TBF I don't think there were ANY DP2.1 monitors when this first released. Even now there are only a handful of monitors with such outputs, but DSC-less 4k@240Hz would be a nice feature to have. - Noticeable flicker when G-Sync/VRR is enabled I don't think this is specific to this monitor, but happens with most if not all of them. Still, it's a negative and as such needs to be mentioned. If you disable VRR it goes away, but if you want to use VRR you can minimize the occurrence of flickering by keeping your FPS as stable as possible. Large swings in FPS make the flickering more pronounced. - Blacks look purplish in a bright room Most OLED TVs/monitors suffer some sort of loss in depth of blacks if the ambient light in the room is too high. Usually appears as either washed out blacks or, as is the case here, this sort of purple hue in the black shades. Fortunately the room I game in has only one window and I have a blackout curtain, so this doesn't effect me. - Screen finish is extremely fragile Be careful when cleaning this screen! I cannot stress this enough Stick with a microfiber cloth and distilled water. Do not get fingerprints or anything other than dust on the screen or the chances of scratching it go up dramatically. The first monitor I purchased came with what appeared to be a spec of glue on the display that I didn't even notice until the return date had passed. When I went to clean it off it made a rather large area (3-4" x 2-3") in the top left of the screen that had micro scratches all over it and really dull appearance. With my OCD it has ruined the monitor for me and Alienware refused to help in any way. It wasn't as noticeable when the screen was on so I found someone who wasn't as bothered by the defect and I sold it for not even 1/4 what I paid for it, turned around and bought another brand new one. The positives are more than enough to offset those limited drawbacks listed above. I probably don't really need to list them as they are all in the product description. - 32" display 3840x2160 @ 240Hz - Perfect, deep blacks with near flawless uniformity with no discernable banding - Rich vibrant colors with 99% coverage of DCI-P3 color gamut - Response time of 0.03ms (OLEDs are practically instantaneous) - Low input lag - DisplayPort 1.4a and HDMI 2.1 inputs (PC and new consoles can hookup to and fully utilize its features) - Asthetically pleasing and very clean looking

Wow oh wow one of the best Oleds
First things first you have to update this via the Alienware/Dell web site by going to support then entering your service tag on monitor ( you can find on back of unit or in menu) if you don’t have a PC go to friends crib and DL it on a usb drive. Out of the box it won’t work like it should must update it I will tell you the only con I have of this monitor actually too, number one It doesn’t have an aux ( but that’s ok because I use my A50X ) and no free sync ( not a bit deal trust me!! ) My other monitor you see is 32 Inch Odyssey Neo G7 4K | 165Hz | HDR 2000 | Curved | Gaming Monitor panel type VA mini LED LS32BG752NNXGO Ok in the picture I show movie motion which by far with colors and and motion is waaaay better on the Alienware 10/10 No for gaming I pay apex legends and wow of wow on console 1st XBSX all box’s checked and smoothly colors wow On PS5 even better playing FF7 and GoW or Horizon The curvature is better on the Neo this ones barely curved Over all besides the audio this one even though it’s older it’s amazing 9/10

Best moniotor Ive owned
I soldy my 49 inch odessy g9 and purchsed this. I do not regret my decision. The monitor is the perfect size for gaming. The oled produces deep blacks , vibrant colors, and being 4k delivers a crisp resolution. At 240 hz its very responsive and smooth. If you have the kit to run high resolution and high frame rates this is a solid choice.
