Q: Does the stan go up and down?
A: undefined
Q: does this monitor come with the 3-year warranty (which also covers the burn-in)?
A: Even if your monitor is 3 days old...If something is wrong with your warranty states they will send you a REFURB monitor. Trade your new one in for a old broken one they fixed. I went thru 3 monitors within 30 days. All delivered broken.. Hours and hours on the phone and countless pictures and emails. They agreed to a full refund which they refused to start with. It takes 30 days after they get the monitor to put your $900 dollars back. Do not buy it! aw3425dw
Q: Is burn-in a problem with the OLED monitor?
A: No due to having a 2nd generation panel and pixel shift

An amazing QD OLED
This is my first ultrawide or OLED display and I would recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade from an older monitor. The panel is not TFT (not sure where BB is getting that), it is a gen 2 samsung QD OLED panel. This also comes with an HDMI, DP, and USB cable, which is not mentioned on the BB page. The curve is much more subtle than LG models and allows for the use of a side screen if you want one for more static browsing (chat or other browsing). The aspect ratio is supported by almost all current games without having bars on the top/bottom or on the sides, which is great considering the alternative larger ultrawides. The price here is the selling point - an amazing value for the technology!

Absolutely stunning display
Beautiful display with a fast refresh rate at a great price. Improvements on the previous model with the same display panel but at a lower price point. 3year dell OLED warranty that covers burn in but I also chose to purchase the Greek squad 4 year warranty for only $119. If you love OLED, perfect colors, perfect blacks, high refresh and almost no latency it's a win across the board. Be sure to set wineries to the correct refresh rate and run Windows color calibration for HDR to get the most from your experience.

Best Pure Gaming Ultrawide - Period.
THIS… IS Alienware's revised 34” curved QD-OLED ultrawide monitor, the creators of the first QD-OLED gaming monitor on the market, and they have just taken it to the next level! 240z, .03ms GTG, 1440p, 1000nits peak brightness AND the best part is that it doesn’t cost your first born child. Lets take a look to see how Alienware has stacked this monitor and… became the best value option in the process?! Ok so opening the box I was greeted with a very sleek and almost overlooked blue color paired to an alien esque stand with curves. Something that ACTUALLY looks alien for once and different from every other monitor on the market. Something that is noticeably missing from the monitor compared to almost every other monitor on the market is some wild RGB design on the back. I personally am a fan as you usually see the RGB once and then put it against the wall and never see it again. I have seen several people complaining about the lack of RGB on the monitor and … I just don't get it?? My current main monitor has an exquisite RGB backing that looked super cool when I took it out of the box.. And that's the last time I saw it! The build quality is mostly a nicely finished plastic and the 1800R curve is noticeable but not so curved that it was catching stray lighting from every which angle. Before we get into the meat and potatoes on how this monitor looks, I wanted to put a quick note on how Alienware has not only created one of the best 34” monitors, but did it at a lower price than everyone else. They cut the features that most people just simply don’t use. There is no KVM switch, USB-C display or high wattage power hub that you can charge half your room off of. There is also no audio passthrough either. If you can make it past those small hurdles, my oh my is the picture going to blow you away without taking your wallet. So here is what we are alllll here for! This is a second gen QD-OLED panel that has almost every feature that you could wish for in a dream gaming monitor. 240hz, HDR 400, G-sync compatible and freesync premium pro, A GLOSSY SCREEN (how they should all come!), 99% DCI-P3 coverage and a 3 year warranty against burn in (Nice!). This panel is fantastic! I knew I had to boot up forza instantly when I received this monitor and the colors just POP. Something that I really enjoyed about this monitor was that it is 1440p, so I am actually going to be able to get 240hz in most of the games I am playing without having to sacrifice on settings. I was really looking to find any flaw or stone left unturned but… Alienware has hit it out of the park with this monitor. The only caution I give with this monitor is in really bright rooms as its SDR performance is only 250 nits, but I didn’t find myself closing my blinds to see my screen at any point in time. Something else to note for my console gamers, this monitor will have bars on the sides as PS5 and Xbox don’t support ultrawide just yet, so if you can’t get past that (as with all ultrawide monitors), then I would look elsewhere. Alienware has also solved the flickering issues with this generation…so I really can’t find any holes in this seemingly perfect evolution. Shocked is an understatement, Alienware has somehow created the best 34” pure gaming monitor and… its not the most expensive? If you can get past a few features being skimmed to save on price then I really cannot endorse this enough. This is the perfect gaming monitor for my racing sim and I really don’t see that changing anytime soon. As with all monitors, best buy has an awesome return policy, so there is no harm in testing this one out. Until next time :)
