Customer Ratings & Reviews

Here’s the thing: this screen changes how games feel. The clarity, the motion, the HDR… everything hits at a different level. I’ve used plenty of high-end displays before, but the AW3225QF stands out the moment you turn it on. The colors are rich without looking fake, the blacks are actually black, and 240 Hz on an OLED this size feels unreal. I use it for fast shooters, story games, and movies in my dorm, and it handles all of it without breaking a sweat. No weird setup stress either, plug it in, tweak a few settings, and you’re good. The curve feels natural, not extreme, and the build quality is exactly what you expect from Alienware. If you’re looking for something that genuinely upgrades your whole setup instead of being just another piece of gear, this is the one.

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

I will start off by saying this monitor is good out of the box. It definitely needs tweaking, as all monitors do. My first 4k monitor so there was a learning curve. Once tweaked, this monitor is outstanding! Not a fan of OLED TV's due to lack of brightness, but that is not an issue with this monitor. I actually have the brightness turned down. Dolby vision actually works but can be finicky with windows 11. I leave it off unless watching a movie. Games are where this monitor really shines, but everything looks great. I came from a 27" 240 hz 1440p monitor and already can never go back. I mainly play open world titles and found out getting so immersed in the scenery can get you killed, LOL. Colors pop, brightness can go higher than you will want and no refresh flickering. No ghosting. I initially put this on an articulating arm mount, but switched to the included stand. It looks so good on it and is 100% stable with no wobble. Height, swivel and tilt adjustments with excellent cable management. I have not really used the USB hub functions. I just have the USB data cable connected for Alienware command center functionality, but this also enables hub function. Dont install Dell monitor control software. It doesnt play well with the Alienware. You dont need it anyway, just the Dell monitor driver. Update to the latest firmware as it adds HDR Peak 1000 Bright in addition to the already present HDR Peak 1000. You can get much better colors using HDR custom color though. Got it on sale and could not be happier. The curve is perfect for field of view. I have never had curved before and now wonder why. Take your time with adjustments and research while doing so. Once done, you will have the perfect monitor.

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.

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

Every body told me it was over the top, everybody told me I should never spend that much money on a monitor…they were wrong. When I launch a game on this monitor I get goosebumps the auto hdr features and the OLED display create colors and lighting that I can’t explain not only that but it gives you an edge in gaming I’m seeing things others can’t see when it’s pitch black on their screens I’m seeing light, when they see blurs I’m looking at high definition faces. This monitor gives you a competitive edge as well as the beautiful picture you come to expect from a 4k monitor all for a reasonable cost. Another thing it keeps cool I’ve had monitors half this good that sound like airplanes and make the room unbearably hot not this one it’s cool and quite just perfect it will be a decade before anything matches this.

I’ve been using the Alienware AW3225QF for a few weeks, and it’s simply incredible for gaming. The QD-OLED panel delivers stunning 4K UHD visuals with deep blacks, vibrant colors, and amazing contrast — games look absolutely gorgeous. The 240Hz refresh rate paired with a blazing 0.03ms response time makes a noticeable difference, especially in fast-paced shooters and competitive games. Movements are buttery smooth, and the G-SYNC support eliminates screen tearing for a flawless experience. I also love the curved design — it really pulls you into the action and enhances immersion. The build quality is premium, with a sleek look and an ergonomic stand that’s easy to adjust. Connectivity is solid, offering HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C options, making it versatile for both gaming PCs and consoles. Overall, this monitor is a top-tier choice for gamers who want the best visuals and performance. It’s a big investment, but if you care about cutting-edge gaming tech, it’s worth every penny.

Have had this monitor for about 6 months now, the best monitor I've ever had the pleasure of using. True black from OLED, high vibrance colors that really pop in HDR content, 240hz making some games look smoother than life. Only issue I've had has been how easily the display shows smudges or specks of dirt, but the included microfiber takes care of everything if you keep up with it. Let the monitor go into standby for about 8 minutes every 4 hours of use, and you'll have no issues with OLED burn in.

I recently purchased a monitor a year ago and there’s no going back the picture quality and the vibrant and the refresh rate is on a whole Nother level. I highly suggest this product to whoever may want to get a good monitor for gaming.

Just got it earlier today and the packaging was fantastic, screen was thoroughly protected and no scratches on it. The box is huge though and when i set the monitor up its massive, I upgraded from a Samsung 27in Odyssey (Cant remember which one, i think a 5) and wow the difference is breath taking. Which it better for 1200 lol. Lots of different settings and tweaks you can do. I was confused at first because i couldn't change the standard screen preset to custom but after looking online, you have to turn HDR off on your system then you can change it. But i also read that once you turn HDR back on it doesn't matter the preset because it changes it anyway, just food for thought. Also this is my first curved monitor and its such a slight one that i dont mind it at all, infact i actually like it when i was gaming. Overall im happy with the purchase, ill update the review if i get any burn in or something. I recommend it but it is a high price point. Thank god for financing.

Came from a VA panel monitor, and didn't realize what I was missing out on. The perfect blacks in conjunction with vibrant colors make everything looks amazing! While it's not as bright as some competition, I personally see that as a good thing, as I couldn't imagine staring at a screen any brighter than this for long periods of time. The overall design and build quality really made me feel like I was unboxing some alien level tech. The little RGB addressable accents on the back of the monitor, as well as the power indicator is a nice touch. The slight curvature of the monitor is not as aggressive as other panels on the market, but it helps reduce screen glare and is still as immersive as an 1800R. Coming from a non-Oled panel, it takes a little getting used to the fact that the monitor should be "refreshed" every 3-4ish hours, but its a nice excuse to go stretch your legs or touch grass in-between sessions. The added profiles and "alien-vision" are additional QOL features that can really help dial in your preferences, on top of Dolby Vision. Well worth the investment, and I personally will never be going back to anything that is not OLED, as the difference in image quality is really that impressive!

This display is absolutely amazing. From crystal clear 4k quality to deep blacks and amazing color accuracy. If your hardware permits its an excellent addition to your gaming set up

Amazing with my X|S. The colors are insane. This makes all content look much more attractive. One BIG thing I absolutely hate currently though is that it doesn’t have an AUX feature. So my speakers won’t work. It has eARC HDMI but that would mean I have to buy another soundbar.

This monitor is probably one of if not the best you can get for the price right now. Its obviously an enthusiast grade product, and I can only really recommend it if you have a really high-end computer. Even with a 4090 its hard to find games that can actually play at 4k 240fps. Everything looks beautiful on it. In particular, im loving horror games with lots of darkness to let the OLED do what it does best with perfect blacks. The only DOWNSIDE i can think of is that getting a smudge off of the screen feels nearly impossible. While setting up on a vesa mount (i recommend getting help. I did it alone and it was a pain due to the size), i had gotten a finger smudge on the screen and even with the provided microfiber cloth its still there. If you are doing super high end gaming or content creation theres very few monitors that are better than this

Definitely the best screen I have ever looked at. Came from a Gigabyte 4K 144Hz display, and wow, I will never go back from OLED. Every game I play looks beautiful, and watching movies and TV is unbeatable. HDR1000 is also a big plus on the OLED panel. Love the QD-OLED panel itself too.

So initially when I purchased this I was having issues with colors looking washed out, followed a few YT tutorials and was having no luck. Tried all the different settings and nothing seemed to look right. So eventually I went down a Reddit thread rabbit hole and found that for some reason I had to up the contrast by 10-15 (not in the monitor settings) in either the Nvidia app or adrenaline app, as well the the saturation. After I did that and updated to the latest firmware everything is beautiful and perfect! Still not sure if I’m gonna be sticking with it strictly because my graphics card doesn’t seem to be powerful enough to hold 4k/60fps in quite a few newer games, but after some tweaks I’m very satisfied and would 100% recommend if you have the hardware to put it to full potential.

Great 4K 240HZ OLED Alienware Monitor Great sale price at $300 less than standard price at Dell. Easy to install. Included power cord, HDMI cable, display port cable and upstream cable. Great graphics for gaming at 240HZ. Vibrant colors. Great for gaming and daily productivity! Great buy!

I bought this monitor as open box. In fact, there was no box. The monitor itself is perfect, making the discount completely worth it. The color accuracy is a bit better than my Dell 1440p monitors, and the pixel density is phenomenal. Many games I play have thin lines for various reasons - like the ropes and wires on the ships of World of Warships - and they now look like ropes and wires instead of jagged lines. The contrast ratio can't be beat. One strange thing I noticed though is that when the screens are off, the LED 1440p monitor has a darker screen. The OLED of this monitor is definitely more gray. That difference isn't noticeable when they're on, though. I guess I'm just impressed with how good my old notes secondary monitor still looks. At any rate, I'm not a huge fan of Dell computers, but their monitors I will recommend every day of the week.

Looks better than my Galaxy G6 OLED in most applications. The galaxy has higher contrast even when tuned, which can look better in some games, but in general, video and image look much better on this monitor. As much as I dislike Dell, I have to give them credit for their amazing displays.

So I'm a big monitor collector as I use multiple screens for gaming and working. I tend to try most major brands. This is my first step into QD-OLED, and I think this is the start of a new "best format" for gaming monitors. The brightness is great and I really appreciate the color accuracy. My only concern is that you have to be attentive to this monitor compared to LCD or LED. Dell does offer a 3 year warranty though, which is excellent.
