Gorgeous, lush, & performant OLED gaming monitor
** Summary ** The 32” Alienware AW3225QF is hands down the best gaming monitor I’ve ever experienced. My previous main display was a 27” Sony 4K HDR with a 144Hz refresh rate, and this Alienware blows it away in every category – size, design, picture quality, brightness, backlighting evenness, and of course, that 240Hz refresh rate. I was able to quickly adjust to the larger 32” size, and I found it perfect for everything I do with a computer – gaming, browsing the Internet, reading articles, streaming music videos and TV shows, photo and video editing, and word doc and spreadsheet work. In other words, it’s wonderful and a fantastic product. _____ *Pros: -Cool-looking curved design with subdued LED lighting on the back. -Easy to use joystick for OSD navigation. -Excellent calibration out-of-the-box. -Ultra clear, crisp, and bright display. -240Hz refresh rate. -Both the DisplayPort and HDMI ports support 4K at 240Hz. -The eARC HDMI port supports Dolby Atmos sound. -Tool-free assembly. -3-year OLED burn-in warranty. _____ *Neutral: -No built-in speakers or audio-out jack. -Max SDR brightness of 240 nits. _____ *Cons: -None *** Design, Build Quality, & Utility *** The moment I laid my eyes on the gigantic box, which is almost as big as my 100lb Goldador’s dog bed, I knew there was a very special monitor inside. The Calibration Factory Report worksheet inside built up my hype and expectations for quality as I removed the monitor pieces one by one and began the assembly. The installation didn’t require a single tool, and the parts slid and snapped together perfectly. Everything I needed to start using it was in the box – the power cable, DisplayPort cable, HDMI cable, and even a USB-B cable. All the pieces felt solid, durable, and high quality, and the assembled product looked fantastic with its black and white design that gave it a striking and classy look. There is some LED backlighting on the backside of the panel, but it’s nothing over the top or garish, which was to my liking. In a pitch-black room, it’s enough to provide some lighting so you don’t bump into things accidentally. The height, tilt, and swivel can be adjusted, and in everyday usage, the monitor stand was very stable and wobble-free on my desk. There are plenty of ports provided (1x DisplayPort, 2x HDMI, 1x USB-C, 3x USB-A, 1x USB-B), and thanks to the hole cutout on the monitor stand, all the cables can be neatly routed and organized. What’s cool about the AW3225QF is that the DisplayPort and both HDMI ports all support the max 4K resolution with 240Hz refresh rate – some other monitors only support the full spec on the DisplayPort and not on the HDMI. The USB-C port is nice to have, but it, unfortunately, does not support video-in. You can use it, though, to charge a smartphone. Thankfully, there were no dead pixels or backlighting issues with my unit – the calibration was right-on out of the box, and everything looked perfect and peachy no matter what type of content I threw at it. The standout feature of the Alienware AW3225QF is its 240Hz, 4K OLED display, and it is truly lush, sharp, and bright, all of which should make you feel very happy and content for all the coin you had to drop on this high-tech monitor. The OLED makes the contrast and the blacks amazing, with the dark areas appearing perfectly dark, which aids in the perception of depth and realism when watching movies or playing games. With a pixel density of 137 pixels per inch, everything looks sharp and very crispy, and it will benefit not just gamers but also people who will use this monitor for other common scenarios, such as photo and video editing, document and spreadsheet creation, streaming video content, and just browsing and reading stuff online. The AW3225QF does everything well, it’s quite a looker, and it’s a prime example of a well-crafted machine with excellent build materials and quality components that back up all of the marketing claims. *** Gaming Performance *** The Alienware AW3225QF was an absolute joy to play games on. Thanks to my 9-year-old daughter, I’m perpetually behind and catching up on my gaming backlog, but all the games I found time to play – Baldur’s Gate 3, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Horizon Forbidden West, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and Left 4 Dead 2 - all looked gorgeous and fantastic. The game characters and environments pop and stand out more, thanks to the lush OLED display as well as phenomenal color calibration from Alienware. Even when things get very hectic with hundreds of enemies coming at you (like in Left 4 Dead 2), the AW3225QF handled motion clarity very well, retaining texture detail and allowing easy identification of objects and enemies despite fast-scrolling with abrupt camera movements. Also helping with the smoothness is support for Nvidia G-Sync, VESA AdaptiveSync 240 certification, as well as AMD FreeSync. Coming from a 27” monitor, the 32” widescreen noticeably felt like an upgrade, feeling like a small television, with added immersion thanks to the curve. The 1700R curvature is subtle and not too extreme, which is just fine with me. *** Is it worth the coin? *** Absolutely. If you’ve always wanted a high refresh rate, 4K display for years but passed on it due to high prices (>$2,000), then the AW3225QF at $1,200 makes it affordable for the masses. The industrial design and color scheme look cool, the build materials and quality are excellent, and that OLED display is truly a stunner, offering deep blacks, lush colors, and a high refresh rate that can handle fast motion very well. It comes with a 3-year OLED burn-in warranty, which is very reassuring. It’s a complete Win. 5 Stars.

Alienware 32in
This is my second 4k monitor I have bought. The first one was the LG 4k oled. I ended up returning the LG monitor because I wasn’t a big fan of the matte coating on that display. This monitor definitely did not disappoint. The glossy finish on the Alienware just looks better to me. The colors are vibrant and the display is sharp. The Curve is subtle, and I don’t really notice it while I’m gaming. I do recommend you use a monitor arm with this monitor since the stand takes up a lot of space on your desk. Overall, best monitor I have bought.

A Beast of a Display
The Alienware AW3225QF monitor is a thing to behold. Assembly was easy, but make sure to follow the instructions and put together and attach the stand first as it makes it easy to remove the monitor from the packaging. The stand does have cable management and a portion of the back of the monitor slides off to access the ports. There is 1 DisplayPort (1.4), 2 HDMI 2.1 ports (with one being eARC capable), 3 USB-A 3.2 ports, and 1 USB-B 3.2 port for upstream. There is also 1 USB-C port that supports charging but cannot be used as a Power Delivery port. This means you cannot use the monitor as a hub or docking station for a laptop if you have a need for that feature. The box contained an HDMI Ultra High-Speed cable, DisplayPort 1.4 cable, USB-B 3.2 cable, and a power cable. Out of the box it looks great on the desk. I like the size and the fact that it has a 16x9 aspect ratio. Coming from a 27” monitor is a noticeable difference in size. I wasn’t sure how I would like the curved screen, but it pleasantly surprised me. The curve is mild and is rated at 1700R so it’s there, but it’s subtle. The lighting on the back isn’t overpowering so you won’t really notice it reflecting off surfaces behind the monitor. The internals are vented and there is a fan inside, but I believe it only turns on when the monitor reaches a certain temperature because I’ve never noticed it running even with my ear up to the vents. The monitor is VESA compatible so you can hook it up to a monitor arm or wall mount, but the stand has height, swivel, and tilt adjustments. There is a firmware update available and to get the most out of the monitor you should update it. You will just need the Service Tag # to download the update file from Dell. Once I got up and running, I found that I had to disable HDR in Windows 11 to access the different color profiles. While I was doing that, I also updated the refresh rate to 240 Hz since Windows defaulted to a much lower rate. To access the settings for the monitor you will need to use the nipple on the bottom edge. The menu was easy to navigate, and I quickly adjusted the monitor’s settings to my liking. The screen has a glossy finish, not matte, and it has an anti-reflective coating, but because it‘s a QD-OLED panel it doesn’t have a polarizer filter. This is most noticeable in a room that is moderately or well lit. This gives the black screen a slight gray hue that affects the overall contrast ratio. Because of this you may want to ensure you have a way to control the amount of light in your room either with shades, blinds, or curtains. This really isn’t noticeable when viewing most content, but when you get to a dark scene where a good portion of the background is black, you will notice the screen has a gray hue to it rather than displaying complete black. The positive about not having this filter is that your screen will get brighter. The lack of the filter really didn’t affect my experience with the monitor, but you should be aware that it does exist. Because this is an OLED screen, I decided I wanted to prolong its life as much as possible to I installed a program that runs live wallpapers and adjusts the opacity of the desktop icons. This should help prevent burn-in since OLED’s are known for that issue. One positive on this front is the warranty. It’s a 3-year warranty and it does cover burn-in so it’s a huge plus that they are willing to stand behind the product for that long. As for the screen itself during use, this thing provides a beautiful image. Thanks to the display having 140 pixels per inch, the text is easily readable, and you can’t see the individual pixels at a seated viewing distance at a desk. There is more than enough real-estate to use multiple programs or windows at the same time and I had no issues using word or reading articles on the web. The contrast the monitor provides really makes the screen pop. I’ve played World of Warships, Fallout 76, and Gears of War 5 and the visuals were stunning and smooth, however you will need a beefy graphics card to fully utilize 4k on Ultra graphics settings. I have an RTX 3050 and had to lower the in-game settings slightly to get a good framerate. The display is compatible with Nvidia’s G-Sync, but not with AMD’s Free-Sync. I had no issues with screen tearing, input lag, or stutter since I have a compatible graphics card. There are only 2 things I wish this monitor had. A DisplayPort 2.0 or better and a USB-C port with PD 2.0 capability or better. Even without those two things this is still an excellent monitor that will provide years of exceptional viewing experiences for me. The construction is top notch, and the display provides a beautiful picture. You can’t really go wrong with this monitor.

Best gaming monitor ever
Gaming monitor with the fastest response time I ever seen, perfect color, no ghosting I love it, call of Dutty gamer and is perfect

Amazing! Although, its not for everyone
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

The AW3225QF; Truly Out of this Gaming World!
Alienware AW3225QF was made for gamers, period. Enjoy 4k games with almost near instantaneous response time thanks to the 0.03ms response time. There’s also no sacrifices made here for motion clarity as refresh rate is up to 240Hz. What do these 2 things mean? Crisp motion and low input lag gives you an optimal responsive feel in your games. In addition to that, Alienware has done an amazing job with their infinite contrast ratio which really gives you as close to perfect blacks as there is, yet bright enough to make things pop (where they need to pop) and colors look amazingly vivid. Alienware AW3225QF, the first 32 inch 4k QD-OLED curved gaming monitor and I gotta say I am here for it all! Alienware has done an amazing job with the AW3225QF. Everything from the build quality to make it look premium down to the actual internal specs and features really makes this a sure choice for gamers. Yes the price point may be a bit steep for some but you are really getting something amazing here (you are getting what you pay for). For those of you wondering about ports you have two HDMI 2.1 ports, two USB-A 3.2 ports, a USB-B upstream port, DisplayPort, along with additional USB-A and USB-C connectors which can be all found under the monitor. I had the luxury of being able to throw various games on this beauty and the beast (by all means in a VERY good way) and the Alienware AW3225QF did not disappoint. Yes, as some have mentioned and I am sure you have read other reviews; there have been some issues with software. But to be completely honest that shouldn’t persuade you to skip on this monitor. Dell is doing an amazing job with releasing firmware updates (the most recent one I downloaded and installed was M2b104 which just released March 18 2024. They are working on the “kinks” and have been quite on top of it. On a side note, Dell has already made the improvements with proper packaging. There were a lot of reviews stating they received their AW3225QF scratched due to the bubblewrap having direct contact with the screen. Dell has remedied this issue by putting a protector in between the bubblewrap and the screen (great work Dell!). So all in all, are there some issues to be worked out? Yes. Does it cause so much of an issue at this time to skip on this monitor? Absolutely and positively not. The Alienware AW3225QF is a supreme gaming monitor in every way which includes instantaneous response time, 240Hz refresh rate, amazing deep blacks while boasting true OLED HDR brightness and rich vivid colors. I highly encourage you to give the Alienware AW3225QF a go.

Top of the line OLED Gaming Monitor
Over the years I've tried various monitors from various vendors, and I always come back to Dell branded devices for their consistent panel quality, ease of use and general all-round 'does what its supposed to'. The technology of course changes are as quick as always, and whether you're looking at IPS or LED, OLED, 4K or 1440p, it all really depends on your use case. To set the scene I'm an avid gamer - I spend a few hours every day playing online across a mix of action, shooter and simulation genres - but I also have a day job where I work from home. As a result I've never felt the need to but a dedicated gaming monitor - but about a year ago I purchased 'another vendor' 32 inch 4K monitor, and although the resolution is great, and works nicely with all my hardware there is a law of diminishing returns when you have a big monitor up close. Whether it's for office work or gaming, screen real estate is no longer the issue, but looking at such a large panel is. Sounds like a first-world problem I know , but if you're going to invest in a high quality screen you should be able to leverage it, right? So I started looking into curved monitors of the same size to see if they would work for my gaming and regular work stuff - and it was just as Dell announced their Alienware AW3225QF as part of their Alienware line. As I already mentioned, I'm a fan of Dell monitors overall, and the specs of the Alienware builds on that foundation with some extra gaming features as the icing on the cake. First things first - this monitor looks amazing. Its a glossy panel (keep those kids fingers away) which might mean you have to think a little about placement, but the result is the OLED panel gives the best black-panel response I've seen. Even without using any of the built in black stabilizer features, the blacks are rich and contrast is amazing. The monitor has 2 x HDM2.1 inputs and a separate display port - for the testing I plugged a PS5 running a handful of games at 120PFS/120Hz via HDMI, .and my MacBook Pro via the DisplayPort - both images look fantastic (although the MacBook doesn't really excel at its capped at 60Hz) which is of course the primary test of any monitor. What I wasn't prepare for was how well the slight curve of this monitor helps being so close to a large screen - don't get me wrong, its not a wrap-around IMAX type experience, but its just subtle enough during FPS games that things that might normally be out of your line of sight are suddenly in your peripheral vision. Working on large documents or images is equally as satisfying and I feel like I'm getting much more use out of this large screen real estate. So what else does this monitor add - aside the OLED panel (I said it looks amazing already) , there are a number of gamer+ plus features that come with stepping into the Alienware line. There are gaming console optimized modes, the usual image presets for different game times, but also a nifty 'Alien vision' , which augments the display overlay (you can either add a crosshairs, negative image , or night-vision type section in the center of the screen) giving you that extra edge in whatever game style you are used to. Also has a nifty frame rate monitor, so you can assess exactly how well your hardware is performing. Overall , I think this was the monitor I wanted all along, but I never really knew until I tried it. Trust me on the curve and the glossy panel - I always preferred flat and Matt finishes, but having seen this thing in action across all the use-cases I have this is my new #1. Some minor comments (not worth deducting a star, but important for people to know); -The Alienware software (including the packages to manage the settings upgrade the firmware are Windows10/11). This means if you are primarily a Mac user, the you are going to be restricted to what you can through the on-monitor menu , without further customizations - Connecting certain devices, seems to always default to RGB (which doesn't work for some of the new Mac devices). You can go into the monitor and change the picture source manually, but if you see a pink-hue screen change it from RGB and you should be good. I should add this might be an artifact of the version of the firmware I am currently running (see above comment) , so hopefully this might get fixed with a firmware update - There are no speakers on this monitor - I actually prefer this approach as I run an external sound / DAC to audio, but I'm calling it out in case you are expecting speakers! - No USB-C upstream - the monitor supports DisplayPort with a native interface, but not for USB-C / DP1.4 as the only upstream USB port is a 5GB/s USB-B. This isn't a big deal for me as I prefer to run native inputs for DP and HDMI directly , but seems like an odd omission for modern monitors. There IS a downstream USB-C port for charging your devices, but just be ready to run native interfaces into the back of the monitor.

Amazing! But…
Fantastic monitor the monitor I’ve been waiting for I purchased it from Dells website. Almost everything is perfect about it. If I had to pick one complaint, it would just be there’s a few minor software bugs that need to be worked out like Dolby vision issues when switching between content and the inability to change your HDR profile without turning off HDR. Kinda weird screen flicker as well.. but overall I would still recommend, doesn’t really affect too much with gaming and the picture. Quality is amazing.
