if iam correct it has ah-ips panel!? would like to know if it has same problems with blb like ahva panels (for example pg279q). i was very(!) disapointed with this panel :( this monitor looks realy interesting for me. love this widescreen for shooter but i play many rts games too (sc2) and dunno if this resolution works for me. perhaps 165 hz look better for some people but 120 is totaly fine for me.
I am positively surprised that this monitor doesnt look like a set piece for star trek, considering it is an Alienware. Good job Dell for making a good looking monitor!
Optimum Tech I can say the exact same about your buttery-smooth B-rolls! This is the 2nd video I have watched of your's and I sure am impressed. I feel like your production quality suits the price point of the products you review and thus ensuring that you're doing these beautiful peripherals justice. Pretty sure you hear this all the time but why not once more; Keep up the good work! PS. I don't care if you don't read my comment, as long as I got it outa my chest!
I recently purchased this monitor and i am extremely happy with how it is performing, The picture is great, the screen is huge and looks great! One issue, the bottom right corner of the frame is separated from the screen. It's a minor problem but if i'm spending over $1,100 on a monitor i expect it to be perfect. Not only is there a defect, but the price dropped to $999 2 days after my purchase.. I sent in a request for a some sort of credit and or a new one because i do enjoy this monitor! Also, g sync with CSGO is kind of wonky. But other than that i highly recommend.
Just ordered mine! Figured I couldn’t go wrong with a $799 price point. Done a ton of research and it seems like this is the best fit for me. Your video solidified it for me. Thanks!
I just picked up this monitor today and I mainly play Destiny 2 and my jaw just hit the Ground. It is absolutely stunning, Immersive and so so fast. If your thinking about a Gaming monitor, this is still the Holy Grail in all 34" beauty.
Thanks for reviewing this monitor & thanks to the person that lended it to you. I'm planning on buying it and lookin' through reviews. Yours is a major plus towards it being purchased!
Martin well i can tell you that playing 21:9 supported games is incredible and this paired with at least a 1080 is an experience worth the price of admission. However, with all monitors, their is luck of the draw with the panel. While mine came with no noticeable backlight bleed and dead pixels, it's not the same with everyone. Plus trying to find a wall mount for this was a pain in the ass since the stand is so huge and this thing weighs almost 27lbs. If your going to get this, buy it from dell, as they have discounted prices and the customer support, as far as replacements, is some of the best in the business. If you can get it under $1000, this is a great purchase. I hope this made your decision easier.
Martin here's the link www.amazon.com/Ergotron-Sit-Stand-Wall-Mount-LCD/dp/B00GN4DBUI/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PJ1MT395RQEEZH5DP39S&linkCode=sl1&tag=httpwwwtape3s-20&linkId=bc08ac68fbc0c3a490175eac48ed75be It's stupid expensive and tbh look around a little more to see if your luckier than me and find something better. But so far, it's been worth it's weight in gold.
Martin it‘s the best Ultrawide Monitor you can get! And the price is now better (i got mine for 999€ - normally it costs 1200€). Gaming is awesome and everything else too! You will have some 21:9 problems in some games, but you can fix the problem easily For example Fallout 4 and Skyrim: You need to download the TruBy9 Ultrawide mod The Witcher 3: you need HxD for 21:9 Cutscenes (the normal game is 21:9 supported) Or the Flawless Widescreen app, which has included a ultrawide fix for many games. I hope the games in the future will support 21:9 normally like AC Origins/Odyssey
Yeah true :( I was looking at the ASUS PG348Q already, so I guess I'm prepared to pay, just need the right one that checks all the boxes, and this alienware one looks a fair bit nicer!
Oh please dear god let this monitor be the one. I have been looking for a new monitor for more than 2 years now and have ordered the Acer XB271HU and Acer Z35P and had to send both of them back for defective panels. I hate that it's a lottery with products this expensive.
This is the review I was looking and waiting for. Just snagged this on sale through the Newegg eBay store for $899.99! Just received it yesterday, and it is truly incredible!
Got it for $999 on BF; I agree w/ pretty much everything you said compared to my previous Acer X34; Way you described 100hz vs 120hz (*My X34 only hit 95hz) was spot on. I don't feel like I need a higher HZ monitor here.
My favorite color is blue, and I absolutely love white and blue. Alienware makes great hardware which often comes in white and blue, but it's SO expensive!
If I understand correctly, Predator X35 is out next year, so for those that want to wait or need to save up, you might want to look out for that in the meantime. For those that have been waiting for an IPS, 1440, 34", 21:9 Ultrawide with G-Sync this is the perfect mix and the price is appropriate when compared to others. With all the sales on from now until the end of the year, now would be a good time to pick one up. This monitor is just what I've been waiting for. The monitor will be the last part I purchase when I finish my build and if nothing better comes along before then, this is definitely the one for me as it now sit's on the top of my parts list in the monitor category.
Pax Justica Do you think the price of the Alienware monitor will go down closer to Christmas. Also you’re saying that the Alienware is a better buy than the x35?
The cost of the Alienware is down *right now* depending on where you shop, so if you see it at the $1,100 (US) range and have the money, stop where you are and get it. Full stop, you won't find a better deal or a better panel on the market for the price. The X35 is rumored for release in Q1 or Q2, 2018 and will not have a price this low. If anything, the regular price of the X35 will be the same as the sale price of the Alienware. One thing of note and an important differentiation to pay attention to, is that the X35 will be a VA panel monitor, so that will drive down the cost a little, not a lot, in comparison to the Alienware. Your bang for the buck will be to get this IPS panel on sale. Both monitors, when *not* on sale, compared side by side, the IPS Panel will be at a higher price in general because if it's ability to push out deeper blacks in comparison to a VA and it's higher manufacturing cost. Also keep in mind, that a VA Panel like the X35, will have more noticable difference in quality at wider viewing angles, something you *don't* want in your peripheral vision on a curved monitor. Remember the spot in this video where Optimum Tech pointed out the slight color difference on the far left and right? That will be more noticeable to the next Predator X35 when compared to the Alienware. Should that stop you from waiting and going out to get it when it's released? No. I will also point out, that the VA will have a slight bit more light bleed when compared to the IPS, at least, that's what I expect to happen. However, Quantum Dot panels from Samsung will lead the pack when compared to other VA panels. If a VA panel is your preference because of the lower cost, then the X35 will beat other VA panels hands down and will be worth the buy, especially when you consider that it will be a 1440p monitor, which is ideal. Nobody should get a 1080 ultrawide, so keep that in mind as well when you're shopping around. Without having a price out yet on the X35, I can only speak with speculation when I say that I feel like the price range will be reasonably competitive with other IPS, 100mhz+. 1440p panels of this size but yes, it may actually be cheaper, but only by a couple hundred bucks. Is the 200mhz refresh rate on the X35 worth it for you? Is there much of a difference between 200mhz and 120mhz? Not really. Anything over 144, in my opinion, just isn't worth it. There's a lot to consider when comparing the two but what it boils down to is this: Do you want a high quality panel (notice that I'm talking about the panel alone, not the components around it) that's on the market now and on sale or do you want to wait and see what the cost of the next monitor is? If it were my own time and my own money, getting this IPS 1440p panel on sale now compared to waiting for a VA panel later down the road for the same price, I'll take the more accurate color of an IPS for production and day over a VA panel every day of the week. If you don't care about that, want to save a couple bucks and don't mind waiting for a monitor that you're just going to game on and nothing else, go for it, get the VA panel. You'll love it just the same. Both are great monitors. If you know what your needs are, what you budget is and how long you can wait, either is a great to have. If you want IPS, get this one and only this one, on sale. If you don't care, then get the VA at regular price for the same price as the IPS on sale. I have specific needs and know exactly what I want and expect from a display panel. I hope this helps you make that same determination.
Pax Justica The X35 has HDR and a 10 bit panel, G SYNC, 3440x1440p, nobody else is doing that besides 1 monitor from Acer. It’s going to be super expensive
Thanks for pointing that out. I realized on my way to the store that I probably overlooked a few things, but the reply was long enough as it is, so thanks for that. The X35 will have a full-array backlight with 512 individually-controllable LED zones. Compared to previous VA panels on the market, this is a significant difference and may very well jack up the price accordingly. No one else has done this yet, so you might right on that. The HDR format in question is HDR10, since that is the new standard being adopted for PC gaming. Great on TV's and this panel for sure and I think this is a first for a PC monitor, but I could be wrong on that point. This will be a game changer for sure, if they do manage to do it correctly. The panel will also apparently support the cinema-standard DCI-P3 color gamut. How accurate that will be and to what percentage is yet to be seen. This is made possible by improving the backlighting with a Quantum Dot Enhancement Film (QDEF), so there may well be less bleed on the X35 VA panel which will be an improvement over current VA's and significantly superior to TF panels. More evedence to your point about it being more expensive. There's no information on response times, but there are claims of "almost zero input latency" so I don't have anything to say there, except, be careful of how Samsung markets that point. In TV land, Quantum Dot is a cheaper alternative to OLED and does look good overall. I don't want to get started on the questionable marketing practices of Samsung on this but it should be noted that someone walking into a store and seeing a great big QLED sticker on a TV right next to an actual 4K OLED TV can be easily tricked. That tiny little squiggle on the letter Q, right next to an O, can be deceptive. I think this is deliberate on Samsungs part so I'm very worried about them labeling a VA panel on a PC monitor, even if there is "QLED inside" and they've managed to pull it off with 512 zones. I digress though, the jury is still out on that one and we'll find out soon enough. I don't like unknowns, so until the X35 comes out and get's into the reviewers hands so it can be ripped apart, tested and examined, I'm still going to stick with my IPS decision for now. If I havn't completed my build by the time the X35 comes out, I still have enough sway and room to change my mind. We'll see how it goes. Edit: and then I found this: Fake HDR 21:9 ruclips.net/video/gZhQxiSj8Cw/видео.html By WAF on his channel.
This monitor is on sale for $650 on newegg, really thinking about picking this up even though it's a little more than what i wanted to spend, but it seems very worth it. I only have a 1070 Ti, so i hope i can power this display properly.
I freaking love this monitor, have had it for a year now and its just amazing. The damn back plate that covers the cables in the back broke off but other than that its absolutely amazing.
Excellent review, just picked it up from dell today for a 40% discount at $1189 AUD, I’m stoked. Was going to get the new asus pg349q, but got this instead, glad to see you like this monitor
+Trancvestite Unless you want buttery smooth quality. Many of people do nowadays who are, as you call them, "idiots". It'll be a long waiting when there will be 4K 200Hz 3440x1440, you'll have to choose now which one you like.
+Aberkae Godrilla That's debatable. If you order from websites, you pay taxes and delivery from border. I had to pay 113 Euros here for CM Cosmos 2 that i ordered from Amazon for 320 Euros, imagine how would've cost you 999$ with packaging and + 19% Taxes like here. Everything below of 150€ don't include taxes, just Euro for delivery.
That's simply a beautiful display. Literally everything I could have ever wanted in a monitor . The only thing scaring me is that price tag, holy hell thats a lot for a display.
Ashen One I HAVE A GTX 1070. I AM GOING TO WAIT FOR 1440P GAMING IN A YEAR IN AN HALF. ONCE I GET THE NEW RTX. WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS MONITOR FOR A GTX 1070? I HAVE NO PROBLEM PLAYING AT MEDIUM SETTINGS FOR A SOLID 60 FPS
You could save money and get a 1080 TI. But in all honestly. I wouldn't recommend this monitor with nothing less than a RTX 2080Ti if you want to play at Maxed out settings. You could get a used Asus monitor for $300-400 like the PG278q or PG279q which I highly recommend for a 1070. The 1070 was my first 1440p card. But a 1080 or 1080Ti is better performance. The 1080TI is a better buy than a 2080. I'm sending my 2080 back to get a 2080 TI. But, I have the money. When I first built my pc I had to make small baby steps.
Its $849.00 Now on Amazon and Newegg and I am still spending days before pulling the trigger . 2 of my 3 old -27" 1440p monitors died in the last 2 months and its a shock to be down to just one. If it wasn't for the whole money issue I would already have it! i just need to do it as I cant find anything better at this point. 3840 x 1600 just seems too wide for gaming ,but fine for productivity.
Thx mate, you saved me with this video. I was looking around all day and almost bought the X34. But thanks to you I found this monitor which I did not know that it exist and bought it. Cheers
Sweet! I got lucky I got the alienware brand new for $500 cash on offer up. Works great. So awesome. 120 hz is nice sold my x34 for $500 so good upgrade
The color temperature difference you see on the left vs right is not about the viewing angle but a panel uniformity issue, its a viewing angle issue only when both sides have the same color temperature.
I've been using a 1060 6GB on a 4K TV (via HDMI 2.0) just fine for the past couple years. But for games, I just run them at 1080p on it and it looks and runs just fine.
you probably could but you will have low fps on games. i run a gtx1080 on 2k with med to high settings on most games pushing out 120 - 140 fps on bf 1 and bf 5 , keep in mind this is running on my 27 inch monitor.
Awesome video ! I am pretty sure the new 4K @ 144Hz displays will be prohibitively expensive and that not even Volta will come no where near close to even 90 FPS in AAA games at max settings. So, correct me if I´m wrong but an ultra-wide 1440p, such as the new Alienware AW3418DW @ 120Hz, seems like the best for gaming even for the GPU generation that will come the year after Volta. After all, the new 200Hz ultra-wides from Asus and Acer are NOT going to be IPS, so why bother ? Besides, I love MAX settings so 200 Hz are pointless to me. What are your thoughts ? 4K @ 144Hz seems more like it´s an entire 2 years ahead of the GPU technology required to take the most out of it. And in early 2020 such monitors will be much cheaper anyway, so buying them for longevity doesn´t seem right either. So confusing... Don´t get me wrong, but investing in an Alienware AW3418DW and regret it with the release of 4k 144Hz could be bitter if Volta surpasses expectations proving me wrong... Never had a high-end ultra-wide before and a I feel like life is going to pass me by if I keep waiting for a ´better product´. Who knows if I will have time/interest in gaming in the future. Not a kid anymore. Then again, 4K 144Hz seems more future-proof for non-gaming PC use, due to its resolution. It´s maddening.
Archireux well I mean they are the best out there rn so you can’t argue with that and saying they cost to much for performance well that’s a broke boy problem
I just bought mine and im in haste to use it for gaming....ive been watching forseveral times before i make my choice between predatorx34,asus rogue 34 but after lots of bads comments both of these sreens about blb i choose this one and i make the good choice....the cons need to wait couples days to enjoy that beautiful product!
Optimum Tech, you are definitely one of the best Tech Reviewer out there. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I saw this review and bought this monitor but my unit has something weird, not a big issue though. I can see the led light between the screen and the plastic frame near power button. I was watching keenly to see something like that in the review unit but could not find it. Need your opinion about this. Thank you!
The only thing that is holding me back from buying this is that it only goes to 120hz. I do game and was wondering if there is a noticeable difference between 120hz, 144hz, and maybe even 160hz
yes! exactly. i want a follow up! the only other monitor i see is a $2400 monitor from acer. im thinking about buying this one. for the 800 price tag. its hard to find a good monitor that is gsync. 1440p 21:9, isp, and high refreshrate. and reliable. im nervous though because theres alot of reviews about flickering issues with this monitor.
@@nathanmaddux yep, i need to upgrade next year all my gaming gear including the monitor and i find more hard to find a monitor then a pc or laptop. Lets hope 2020 brings some alternatives 🤭
I like the look of this monitor, it's 3440x1440 w/ a 120Hz refresh rate, which is exactly what I am looking for. And the price isn't bad either. However, I don't know If I should get this monitor or wait for the Acer Predator X35 or the Asus PG35VQ that are expected to drop in Q1 of 2018 for around $1,500-$2,000. I am leaning more towards Asus because I like the stand for the monitor. The Acer stand is way too aggressive and looks like it would take up half my desk. Thankfully, both monitors seem to have similar (if not identical) specs, so the deciding factor for me will be the overall price, who's first to market, and which one has the better stand for the monitor.
I have this monitor and can confirm it is AMAZING!!! Previously was gaming on a 4K Samsung TV and this Dell 34" Ultra-Wide 3440X1440p (120HZ OC) is just flat out better. Most games I've found fully support the Ultra-Wide Resolution so no real problems there and obviously in the future in will just become even more mainstream. I personally see no good reason for going above 120HZ (the sweet spot) and the resolution is just about perfect as far as I'm concerned coming from a 4K TV I don't feel like I'm sacrificing anything at all. I'm running the monitor with the following specs: Intel I7-8700k (OC'D 4.8GHZ) EVGA GTX FTW3 1080Ti (2025MHZ) Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM 3600MHZ Corsair H100iv2 CPU Cooler EVGA 850W Super Nova G2 Gold Rated PSU Can run everything on "Ultra" settings with frames rates generally between 80-120FPS. Just a phenomenal experience all around.
Not alot of people have 1200 dollars to spend a monitor because this isn't for a lot of people. Not alot of people have the money to spend on 4k gaming monitors either because not alot people need to play in 4k. It's a premium not a must.
If you got the cash for the desktop that can even run it, you're cheating yourself by not getting the monitor that USES it. I live by a 2/3 rule. My monitor should cost at least 50% more than a single GPU upgrade, because it's going to be there for at least 2 generations of upgrades, and I usually upgrade every other generation of card.
I just bought one yesterday, very pleased with it. slight black light bleed bottom left corner. over all tho its very nice, has the lowest input lag of the ultrawides.
I fucking love your videos. You are fucking amazing at producing these videos, mostly the b-roll. Keep it up, no other channels even come close to this level of professionalism.
Awesome video mate! Watching on my ASUS MX34VQ ultra wide and can confirm 21:9 gaming is freaking amazing! Wish I would have waited for this monitor but such is life...
I got mine for £999 on NRGit and it came yesterday. This baby will let my MSI Gaming 1080ti do some work for a change. Going from a 1080p res 60hz screen Im loving it
as a non-competitive gamer i notice the 60 to 120 fps diff. BUT id rather just let gsync take care of lower FPS and play with ultra settings instead of medium-high and have 120 fps natively
Currently looks to be on offer in the UK from Dell. Priced at £752, I'm now pondering ordering it after returning the Asus PG348Q. The curve of this screen is the biggest appeal to me. The PG348Q was far too straight and felt like i was sitting next to my screen when going to the left or right side, this one looks perfect!
watching on this same monitor ! ... to who ever has the money and is wondering if is worth it .. YES it is 100 % . i feel like i am in the games ! and switching fron TN panel 1 ms to the Alienware i dont notice the difference as far as response time is concern . or the downgrade fron 144 hz to 120 hz . the Alienware feels smoother to be honest . i am loving it !
I've just bought one off Dell NZ for $1700 NZD while on 30% off sale. I had enough returning x34p's back due to stuck pixels. Hopefully this will be perfect!
Maybe this will sound trivial: I rarely comment in videos but I must say that you have a really good channel here. This is the first video that I watch from you and I loved it. Very informative, nice voice level and your thumbnails are a joy. I enjoyed every second of your video. Very nice work, friend, hope you get big. And like I always say: quality over quantity. You earned yourself a subscriber. Greetings ;)
thank you VERY MUCH for covering the design/photo/video editing aspect. im also a gamer who's a graphic designer and im trying to find the best of both worlds. I found out the predator has more colors than the alienware? I wonder how you feel about that.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I was aware that the Acer Z35P was the only 120Hz 3440x1440 panel (and that had a few issues on mine), I will be purchasing this now! Next time, can you please talk about VESA mount options? Ease of use, adjustability, quality of the stand etc. are all issues important to a lot of people buying ultrawide monitors.
I had the 1080 version and 2 of the 1440p versions now. the 1080 out of the box was trouble free. the 2 1440p versions had stuck pixels and backlight bleed. Considering taking back my 2nd one now before my time runs out to see if I can get a newer build date.
$1500 USD? WHAAAAT? :O, Dam I got a steal lol, I know its a few years old by now but I just bought this monitor in Oct 2020 used on kijiji (Canadian Craigslist) for $500 CAD, thats only $393 USD lol man I love it.
Correction: Increasing the slider in Nvidia Control Panel will properly adjust the gamma, not decreasing it as the animation shows.
Why don'y you add an annotation?
What value do you recommend setting it to in the Nvidia Control Panel for gamma?
tftcentral has an icc profile to fix gamma as well as accurate settings for the monitor.
if iam correct it has ah-ips panel!?
would like to know if it has same problems with blb like ahva panels (for example pg279q). i was very(!) disapointed with this panel :(
this monitor looks realy interesting for me. love this widescreen for shooter but i play many rts games too (sc2) and dunno if this resolution works for me.
perhaps 165 hz look better for some people but 120 is totaly fine for me.
Optimum Tech i
Whohooooh, i see what you did there:
ALIEN vs PREDATOR
@Tellro JewMonic Do your research before you start throwing shots idiot.
Carson K actually it's Aliens vs Predator so shut the fuck up before you start calling people a dumbass even though you're just as stupid.
you are a fucking moron
Well, the Alien win in this version.
Brawndo Alien kinda win in AVP as well :/
Also, No external power brick. Superb monitor!!!!
Finally, a 120Hz ultrawide with non gamery aesthetic
Tell me about it!
In my opinion, it is a tiny bit 'gamery' but much less then other ones
Forbes Purcell yes, compared to PG348Q and X34, its way too good.
Its the main selling point for me
ratchet256 No but look at the stupid "predator" logo on the X34.
I am positively surprised that this monitor doesnt look like a set piece for star trek, considering it is an Alienware. Good job Dell for making a good looking monitor!
SO clean!

Thanks for reviewing this monitor & thanks to the person that lended it to you. I'm planning on buying it and lookin' through reviews. Yours is a major plus towards it being purchased!
watching this on my new AW3418DW which arrived today. No regrets
still lucky with it? do you recommend it?
Martin well i can tell you that playing 21:9 supported games is incredible and this paired with at least a 1080 is an experience worth the price of admission.
However, with all monitors, their is luck of the draw with the panel. While mine came with no noticeable backlight bleed and dead pixels, it's not the same with everyone. Plus trying to find a wall mount for this was a pain in the ass since the stand is so huge and this thing weighs almost 27lbs.
If your going to get this, buy it from dell, as they have discounted prices and the customer support, as far as replacements, is some of the best in the business.
If you can get it under $1000, this is a great purchase. I hope this made your decision easier.
naseem almawri thanks! Which wall mount did you purchase?

It's stupid expensive and tbh look around a little more to see if your luckier than me and find something better. But so far, it's been worth it's weight in gold.
Martin it‘s the best Ultrawide Monitor you can get! And the price is now better (i got mine for 999€ - normally it costs 1200€). Gaming is awesome and everything else too! You will have some 21:9 problems in some games, but you can fix the problem easily
For example Fallout 4 and Skyrim:
You need to download the TruBy9 Ultrawide mod
The Witcher 3: you need HxD for 21:9 Cutscenes (the normal game is 21:9 supported)
Or the Flawless Widescreen app, which has included a ultrawide fix for many games. I hope the games in the future will support 21:9 normally like AC Origins/Odyssey
This might be what I've been waiting for! Good res, IPS, high refresh rate, and G-Sync!
A pretty penny for us bro - $2000 in Aus 😭
Yeah true :( I was looking at the ASUS PG348Q already, so I guess I'm prepared to pay, just need the right one that checks all the boxes, and this alienware one looks a fair bit nicer!
Oh please dear god let this monitor be the one. I have been looking for a new monitor for more than 2 years now and have ordered the Acer XB271HU and Acer Z35P and had to send both of them back for defective panels. I hate that it's a lottery with products this expensive.
you will end up sending one of these back too... I've had to RMA 2 of them
Absolutely the best review on this monitor. Great details. Thanks for including the settings! Getting mine in a few days!
This monitor is simply the best ultrawide screen available at the moment. It is amazing..
I just ordered the same one couple days ago for $820, can't wait
How did you get one so cheap? Please let me know!!
For real tho
Where did you purchase one for that money?
Артем Сизко that's a good price the cheapest I've seen it was$999 with Dell gift card.
Don Atello agreed
That intro was ASTOUNDING!!!
This is the review I was looking and waiting for. Just snagged this on sale through the Newegg eBay store for $899.99! Just received it yesterday, and it is truly incredible!
I love the clean and somewhat minimalistic, yet still "alienwareish" design.
I’ve rewatched this like 5 times over the years. Finally ordered an aw3420dw 🥲
is it awesome?
@@Phiz787 Yes I love it. Customer service and warranty made me feel a lot more comfortable with such a big purchase too.
So from Dec. 2017 to currently Sept. 2018 it went from $1500 to under $1000. Man I love technology improving and making stuff cheaper!
Tyler Russenberger u can get it refurb from dell for like 700 bucks now
5 years later and you can find them for 250
Fantastic review. I work in the film industry and you did a great job all round, from script to editing and everything in between. Touche. subscribed.
Got it for $999 on BF; I agree w/ pretty much everything you said compared to my previous Acer X34; Way you described 100hz vs 120hz (*My X34 only hit 95hz) was spot on. I don't feel like I need a higher HZ monitor here.
My favorite color is blue, and I absolutely love white and blue. Alienware makes great hardware which often comes in white and blue, but it's SO expensive!
If I understand correctly, Predator X35 is out next year, so for those that want to wait or need to save up, you might want to look out for that in the meantime.
For those that have been waiting for an IPS, 1440, 34", 21:9 Ultrawide with G-Sync this is the perfect mix and the price is appropriate when compared to others. With all the sales on from now until the end of the year, now would be a good time to pick one up.
This monitor is just what I've been waiting for. The monitor will be the last part I purchase when I finish my build and if nothing better comes along before then, this is definitely the one for me as it now sit's on the top of my parts list in the monitor category.
Pax Justica Do you think the price of the Alienware monitor will go down closer to Christmas. Also you’re saying that the Alienware is a better buy than the x35?
The cost of the Alienware is down *right now* depending on where you shop, so if you see it at the $1,100 (US) range and have the money, stop where you are and get it. Full stop, you won't find a better deal or a better panel on the market for the price.
The X35 is rumored for release in Q1 or Q2, 2018 and will not have a price this low. If anything, the regular price of the X35 will be the same as the sale price of the Alienware. One thing of note and an important differentiation to pay attention to, is that the X35 will be a VA panel monitor, so that will drive down the cost a little, not a lot, in comparison to the Alienware. Your bang for the buck will be to get this IPS panel on sale.
Both monitors, when *not* on sale, compared side by side, the IPS Panel will be at a higher price in general because if it's ability to push out deeper blacks in comparison to a VA and it's higher manufacturing cost. Also keep in mind, that a VA Panel like the X35, will have more noticable difference in quality at wider viewing angles, something you *don't* want in your peripheral vision on a curved monitor. Remember the spot in this video where Optimum Tech pointed out the slight color difference on the far left and right? That will be more noticeable to the next Predator X35 when compared to the Alienware. Should that stop you from waiting and going out to get it when it's released? No. I will also point out, that the VA will have a slight bit more light bleed when compared to the IPS, at least, that's what I expect to happen. However, Quantum Dot panels from Samsung will lead the pack when compared to other VA panels. If a VA panel is your preference because of the lower cost, then the X35 will beat other VA panels hands down and will be worth the buy, especially when you consider that it will be a 1440p monitor, which is ideal. Nobody should get a 1080 ultrawide, so keep that in mind as well when you're shopping around.
Without having a price out yet on the X35, I can only speak with speculation when I say that I feel like the price range will be reasonably competitive with other IPS, 100mhz+. 1440p panels of this size but yes, it may actually be cheaper, but only by a couple hundred bucks. Is the 200mhz refresh rate on the X35 worth it for you? Is there much of a difference between 200mhz and 120mhz? Not really. Anything over 144, in my opinion, just isn't worth it.
There's a lot to consider when comparing the two but what it boils down to is this: Do you want a high quality panel (notice that I'm talking about the panel alone, not the components around it) that's on the market now and on sale or do you want to wait and see what the cost of the next monitor is? If it were my own time and my own money, getting this IPS 1440p panel on sale now compared to waiting for a VA panel later down the road for the same price, I'll take the more accurate color of an IPS for production and day over a VA panel every day of the week. If you don't care about that, want to save a couple bucks and don't mind waiting for a monitor that you're just going to game on and nothing else, go for it, get the VA panel. You'll love it just the same.
Both are great monitors. If you know what your needs are, what you budget is and how long you can wait, either is a great to have. If you want IPS, get this one and only this one, on sale. If you don't care, then get the VA at regular price for the same price as the IPS on sale.
I have specific needs and know exactly what I want and expect from a display panel. I hope this helps you make that same determination.
Pax Justica The X35 is gonna be $2000, what are you talking about saying it will be less? Lmao
Pax Justica The X35 has HDR and a 10 bit panel, G SYNC, 3440x1440p, nobody else is doing that besides 1 monitor from Acer. It’s going to be super expensive
Thanks for pointing that out. I realized on my way to the store that I probably overlooked a few things, but the reply was long enough as it is, so thanks for that.
The X35 will have a full-array backlight with 512 individually-controllable LED zones. Compared to previous VA panels on the market, this is a significant difference and may very well jack up the price accordingly. No one else has done this yet, so you might right on that.
The HDR format in question is HDR10, since that is the new standard being adopted for PC gaming. Great on TV's and this panel for sure and I think this is a first for a PC monitor, but I could be wrong on that point. This will be a game changer for sure, if they do manage to do it correctly.
The panel will also apparently support the cinema-standard DCI-P3 color gamut. How accurate that will be and to what percentage is yet to be seen. This is made possible by improving the backlighting with a Quantum Dot Enhancement Film (QDEF), so there may well be less bleed on the X35 VA panel which will be an improvement over current VA's and significantly superior to TF panels. More evedence to your point about it being more expensive.
There's no information on response times, but there are claims of "almost zero input latency" so I don't have anything to say there, except, be careful of how Samsung markets that point.
In TV land, Quantum Dot is a cheaper alternative to OLED and does look good overall. I don't want to get started on the questionable marketing practices of Samsung on this but it should be noted that someone walking into a store and seeing a great big QLED sticker on a TV right next to an actual 4K OLED TV can be easily tricked. That tiny little squiggle on the letter Q, right next to an O, can be deceptive. I think this is deliberate on Samsungs part so I'm very worried about them labeling a VA panel on a PC monitor, even if there is "QLED inside" and they've managed to pull it off with 512 zones. I digress though, the jury is still out on that one and we'll find out soon enough.
I don't like unknowns, so until the X35 comes out and get's into the reviewers hands so it can be ripped apart, tested and examined, I'm still going to stick with my IPS decision for now. If I havn't completed my build by the time the X35 comes out, I still have enough sway and room to change my mind.
We'll see how it goes.
Edit: and then I found this:

just bought the alienware and so stoked with it! thanks for helping make the choice with your informative vid
i am watching your video in my 34" Ultrawide Alienware. Yes this monitor is gorgeous, worth every penny.
Same, just arrived today, using this video to get colour settings! XD
This monitor is on sale for $650 on newegg, really thinking about picking this up even though it's a little more than what i wanted to spend, but it seems very worth it. I only have a 1070 Ti, so i hope i can power this display properly.
I thinking of picking one up myself as well
Wow, this video convinces me to consider buying one of these... great review bro!
I freaking love this monitor, have had it for a year now and its just amazing. The damn back plate that covers the cables in the back broke off but other than that its absolutely amazing.
I love it, but $1,149.99... Maybe one day 😂
Get it directly from Dell and ask for a discount on the live chat. Got mine for £970.

got mine for 949.00 on black friday and i cant wait!
Damn.. About to snatch up the newest Alienware one.... I can't wait...
Man I can't deny the greatness of this monitor. 🍾
Excellent review, just picked it up from dell today for a 40% discount at $1189 AUD, I’m stoked. Was going to get the new asus pg349q, but got this instead, glad to see you like this monitor
yea I went to 21:9 love it feels so much better omg looks good I have the 29 LG like to go to 34 soon lol
Hay buddy funny seeing you here
subbed just for this video been looking at ultra wide monitors for weeks now really hit the nail on the head gg dude
I JUST GOT IT. ITS SOOO GOOOOOOODDDD.
Is it good for ps4 pro?
I love your setup, so simplistic, looks better and is soothing over rgb setups
Another great video by Optimum Tech!!
I got this the week of black friday. I love this monitor. Everything said in this is video is right on. Its totally solid and beautiful.
Early 2019 here, just picked one of these up for $750. Looks like it was a good idea to wait!
coinsagE46m3 where did you get it for that price?
Same
Would this go good with the aurora R9 for fortnite and streaming?
No it wouldn’t streaming doesn’t support 21:9
@@jweezy980 will it look bad on a ps4 pro? Like will the image stretch
I have this monitor and it’s awesome. The only thing missing is HDR but that’s still far off I hear without having too big of compromises.
Hard to tell which one is good. New Asus PG35VQ does have 200Hz and isn't released yet and this one 120Hz.
xXSilentAgent47Xx that one is going to cost anywhere from $1500 to $2000 about double the price.
This one cost $999
and of course if you want some crazy amount of backlight bleed from ASUS.
You're an idiot if you think you need 200hz with a 3440x1440p monitor.
+Trancvestite Unless you want buttery smooth quality. Many of people do nowadays who are, as you call them, "idiots".
It'll be a long waiting when there will be 4K 200Hz 3440x1440, you'll have to choose now which one you like.
+Aberkae Godrilla That's debatable. If you order from websites, you pay taxes and delivery from border.
I had to pay 113 Euros here for CM Cosmos 2 that i ordered from Amazon for 320 Euros, imagine how would've cost you 999$ with packaging and + 19% Taxes like here. Everything below of 150€ don't include taxes, just Euro for delivery.
That's simply a beautiful display. Literally everything I could have ever wanted in a monitor . The only thing scaring me is that price tag, holy hell thats a lot for a display.
Agreed!
Omg this is the best monitor ever. Shadow Of The Tomb Raider is fuxking beautiful Maxed ALL THE WAY OUT. Make sure you OC your gpu. 🍾🔥
Ashen One I HAVE A GTX 1070. I AM GOING TO WAIT FOR 1440P GAMING IN A YEAR IN AN HALF. ONCE I GET THE NEW RTX. WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THIS MONITOR FOR A GTX 1070? I HAVE NO PROBLEM PLAYING AT MEDIUM SETTINGS FOR A SOLID 60 FPS
You could save money and get a 1080 TI. But in all honestly. I wouldn't recommend this monitor with nothing less than a RTX 2080Ti if you want to play at Maxed out settings. You could get a used Asus monitor for $300-400 like the PG278q or PG279q which I highly recommend for a 1070. The 1070 was my first 1440p card. But a 1080 or 1080Ti is better performance. The 1080TI is a better buy than a 2080. I'm sending my 2080 back to get a 2080 TI. But, I have the money. When I first built my pc I had to make small baby steps.
You also have to OC the monitor via the OSD from 100 to 120. Then turn on G-Sync and enjoy Shadow of the Tomb Raider in all its glory.
Its $849.00 Now on Amazon and Newegg and I am still spending days before pulling the trigger . 2 of my 3 old -27" 1440p monitors died in the last 2 months and its a shock to be down to just one. If it wasn't for the whole money issue I would already have it! i just need to do it as I cant find anything better at this point. 3840 x 1600 just seems too wide for gaming ,but fine for productivity.
nice wallpaper 2:34 please share?

Thx mate, you saved me with this video. I was looking around all day and almost bought the X34. But thanks to you I found this monitor which I did not know that it exist and bought it. Cheers
Man I just got this monitor for 800 and I say it's a must buy if you have the cash.
Where? Link to site please.
@@lbangloy it was on sale at best buy. Went back to check but it's no longer at that discount.
Are you in the US or Canada?

Sweet! I got lucky I got the alienware brand new for $500 cash on offer up. Works great. So awesome. 120 hz is nice sold my x34 for $500 so good upgrade
The color temperature difference you see on the left vs right is not about the viewing angle but a panel uniformity issue, its a viewing angle issue only when both sides have the same color temperature.
Can you you use a GTX 1060 6GB for 2k resolution or 4k for non gaming use??
Not for games? Absolutely. But if you do game, any AAA games will struggle to hit 60fps on anything higher than low-medium settings
I've been using a 1060 6GB on a 4K TV (via HDMI 2.0) just fine for the past couple years. But for games, I just run them at 1080p on it and it looks and runs just fine.
you probably could but you will have low fps on games. i run a gtx1080 on 2k with med to high settings on most games pushing out 120 - 140 fps on bf 1 and bf 5 , keep in mind this is running on my 27 inch monitor.
Excellent review 👌👌. Been using this monitor for a year now and there’s nothing out there I want to replace this with .. yet. I absolutely love it. 😇
Awesome video !
I am pretty sure the new 4K @ 144Hz displays will be prohibitively expensive and that not even Volta will come no where near close to even 90 FPS in AAA games at max settings. So, correct me if I´m wrong but an ultra-wide 1440p, such as the new Alienware AW3418DW @ 120Hz, seems like the best for gaming even for the GPU generation that will come the year after Volta. After all, the new 200Hz ultra-wides from Asus and Acer are NOT going to be IPS, so why bother ? Besides, I love MAX settings so 200 Hz are pointless to me. What are your thoughts ?
4K @ 144Hz seems more like it´s an entire 2 years ahead of the GPU technology required to take the most out of it. And in early 2020 such monitors will be much cheaper anyway, so buying them for longevity doesn´t seem right either.
So confusing... Don´t get me wrong, but investing in an Alienware AW3418DW and regret it with the release of 4k 144Hz could be bitter if Volta surpasses expectations proving me wrong... Never had a high-end ultra-wide before and a I feel like life is going to pass me by if I keep waiting for a ´better product´. Who knows if I will have time/interest in gaming in the future. Not a kid anymore. Then again, 4K 144Hz seems more future-proof for non-gaming PC use, due to its resolution. It´s maddening.
"prohibitively expensive" to who? They will likely sell a lot of these..
Well the GPUs are here they can do it now
Archireux well I mean they are the best out there rn so you can’t argue with that and saying they cost to much for performance well that’s a broke boy problem
Hey man your theory was right !
I just bought mine and im in haste to use it for gaming....ive been watching forseveral times before i make my choice between predatorx34,asus rogue 34 but after lots of bads comments both of these sreens about blb i choose this one and i make the good choice....the cons need to wait couples days to enjoy that beautiful product!
Here in Holland we dont get this monitor from Dell and nobody knows why!? Cant even order it from Dell germany or UK..

They claim its refurb but if you see on their website mostly all of their product are new in in really good condition
Umberto LaMatta ill send them an email to find out! Thanks for the tip!
Umberto LaMatta
Aww man. So much of their items are out of stock!
Optimum Tech, you are definitely one of the best Tech Reviewer out there. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. I saw this review and bought this monitor but my unit has something weird, not a big issue though. I can see the led light between the screen and the plastic frame near power button. I was watching keenly to see something like that in the review unit but could not find it. Need your opinion about this. Thank you!
The only thing that is holding me back from buying this is that it only goes to 120hz. I do game and was wondering if there is a noticeable difference between 120hz, 144hz, and maybe even 160hz
There is no noticeable difference between 120 and 144.
Acer and Asus is coming out with a 3440x1440 200hz gsync hdr monitor this month.. Acer X35 and Asus PQ35VQ
Are you sure about this month? These monitors will also be extremely expensive
Those are coming out next year. Not this month.
From what I'm hearing and reading
its suppose to be some time this month (dec 2017) Yea likely $1500 or higher..
One year later what are the alternatives?
yes! exactly. i want a follow up! the only other monitor i see is a $2400 monitor from acer. im thinking about buying this one. for the 800 price tag. its hard to find a good monitor that is gsync. 1440p 21:9, isp, and high refreshrate. and reliable. im nervous though because theres alot of reviews about flickering issues with this monitor.
@@nathanmaddux yep, i need to upgrade next year all my gaming gear including the monitor and i find more hard to find a monitor then a pc or laptop.
Lets hope 2020 brings some alternatives 🤭

Is this still the king at the end of 2019?

I'd recommend this monitor! The $649 price tag hit the sweep spot on this one.
Great video thank you... I just purchased the aw3418dw and am awaiting very impatiently for delivery lol cheers
I like the look of this monitor, it's 3440x1440 w/ a 120Hz refresh rate, which is exactly what I am looking for. And the price isn't bad either. However, I don't know If I should get this monitor or wait for the Acer Predator X35 or the Asus PG35VQ that are expected to drop in Q1 of 2018 for around $1,500-$2,000. I am leaning more towards Asus because I like the stand for the monitor. The Acer stand is way too aggressive and looks like it would take up half my desk. Thankfully, both monitors seem to have similar (if not identical) specs, so the deciding factor for me will be the overall price, who's first to market, and which one has the better stand for the monitor.
lol throw that money away over priced junk light bleed
Grabbed this for cyber Monday for 800. I can't wait for this.
better than 4k IMO
I have the 25 inch version. I chose it over this because of the smaller size, but the 34 inch model looks AMAZING.
i don't care about the monitor, but those biceps doe :O :O
👀
U gay or sum shit
Jack Liu
You are.
I have this monitor and can confirm it is AMAZING!!! Previously was gaming on a 4K Samsung TV and this Dell 34" Ultra-Wide 3440X1440p (120HZ OC) is just flat out better. Most games I've found fully support the Ultra-Wide Resolution so no real problems there and obviously in the future in will just become even more mainstream. I personally see no good reason for going above 120HZ (the sweet spot) and the resolution is just about perfect as far as I'm concerned coming from a 4K TV I don't feel like I'm sacrificing anything at all.
I'm running the monitor with the following specs:
Intel I7-8700k (OC'D 4.8GHZ)
EVGA GTX FTW3 1080Ti (2025MHZ)
Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM 3600MHZ
Corsair H100iv2 CPU Cooler
EVGA 850W Super Nova G2 Gold Rated PSU
Can run everything on "Ultra" settings with frames rates generally between 80-120FPS. Just a phenomenal experience all around.
As far as the monitor goes, is it as crisp and clear as a retina display?
yes, but not alot of people have 1,200 dollars to blow on a monitor...
BlackoutYT got 99 problems..
Not alot of people have 1200 dollars to spend a monitor because this isn't for a lot of people. Not alot of people have the money to spend on 4k gaming monitors either because not alot people need to play in 4k. It's a premium not a must.
MrFarre97 okay.
If you got the cash for the desktop that can even run it, you're cheating yourself by not getting the monitor that USES it.
I live by a 2/3 rule. My monitor should cost at least 50% more than a single GPU upgrade, because it's going to be there for at least 2 generations of upgrades, and I usually upgrade every other generation of card.
RedClaw 72 TVs are different
I just bought one yesterday, very pleased with it. slight black light bleed bottom left corner. over all tho its very nice, has the lowest input lag of the ultrawides.
I fucking love your videos. You are fucking amazing at producing these videos, mostly the b-roll. Keep it up, no other channels even come close to this level of professionalism.
Wow man thanks a lot!
No problem. Keep it up!
Awesome video mate! Watching on my ASUS MX34VQ ultra wide and can confirm 21:9 gaming is freaking amazing! Wish I would have waited for this monitor but such is life...
I bought this one in November for $999. I am smitten. I love it so far and game on it more than I do my 4k monitor now.
I got mine for £999 on NRGit and it came yesterday. This baby will let my MSI Gaming 1080ti do some work for a change. Going from a 1080p res 60hz screen Im loving it
too bad its only for europe
as a non-competitive gamer i notice the 60 to 120 fps diff. BUT id rather just let gsync take care of lower FPS and play with ultra settings instead of medium-high and have 120 fps natively
Your videos are phenomenal. You seem to be gifted for photo and video editing. Very good narrative and awesome review in detail. 👍
A bit more than a year later, I finally got this monitor. It's still awesome.
never EVER thought i'd buy something from alienware but i've just brought this monitor i hope its as good as it looks
Currently looks to be on offer in the UK from Dell. Priced at £752, I'm now pondering ordering it after returning the Asus PG348Q. The curve of this screen is the biggest appeal to me.
The PG348Q was far too straight and felt like i was sitting next to my screen when going to the left or right side, this one looks perfect!
I own a X34 myself, don't regret the screen size one bit. It's amazing for Video Editing, Movie watching and gaming.
I use this since over a year now. this thing is awesome
Have had mine for about the same time as well and loving it.
watching on this same monitor ! ... to who ever has the money and is wondering if is worth it .. YES it is 100 % . i feel like i am in the games ! and switching fron TN panel 1 ms to the Alienware i dont notice the difference as far as response time is concern . or the downgrade fron 144 hz to 120 hz . the Alienware feels smoother to be honest . i am loving it !
Thanks a lot for this review, I was between predator and this, I just bought this and have it right in front of me, I have subbed and thank you again.
Compared to a VA panel, how would you rate how it handles black colors and shades? As well as contrast?
@Vehnce alright. My friend was talking crap saying the black and greys would look bad as well as contrast.
I've just bought one off Dell NZ for $1700 NZD while on 30% off sale. I had enough returning x34p's back due to stuck pixels. Hopefully this will be perfect!
Nothing can beat a nice CRT.
Just set mine up right now. Thanks for the video. Loving this monitor!
Maybe this will sound trivial: I rarely comment in videos but I must say that you have a really good channel here. This is the first video that I watch from you and I loved it. Very informative, nice voice level and your thumbnails are a joy. I enjoyed every second of your video. Very nice work, friend, hope you get big. And like I always say: quality over quantity.

Gonna buy this tomorrow, I'm so hyped up
Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I was aware that the Acer Z35P was the only 120Hz 3440x1440 panel (and that had a few issues on mine), I will be purchasing this now!
Next time, can you please talk about VESA mount options? Ease of use, adjustability, quality of the stand etc. are all issues important to a lot of people buying ultrawide monitors.
No problem, glad to be of help. And thanks for the suggestions man, I'll keep them in mind for next time!
No problem, I got a lot of flack for not doing that on my Microboard M340CLZ review. Loving the content!
I had the 1080 version and 2 of the 1440p versions now. the 1080 out of the box was trouble free. the 2 1440p versions had stuck pixels and backlight bleed. Considering taking back my 2nd one now before my time runs out to see if I can get a newer build date.
This is my dream monitor. Great review. It was going for $999 a couple of weeks ago, wish I could've picked it up then
Me too man, me too.
$999 would be a steal for what this is offering tbh.
