Dude, you are an excellent video editor. Well done!
Been waiting for this one. So long that I’m about to unbox mine tomorrow 🔥
Just curious when you ordered it. I ordered mine on Jan 5 and it’s been delayed. :(
Mine was delayed until Feb16
@@mptrh336 I ordered mine 12/27 arrived around 1/20
I have the AW m15 R3 laptop in white, it matches this monitor perfect. However, the micro center guy here told me don't get it but didn't give a solid reason why. He said to get the acer predator 34", and said every employee there has it. I just have to have the AW38 because it's gorgeous and matches my AW laptop and I'm willing to pay the extra to have it. So I guess my question to you is, any major reason why I shouldn't by this AW3821dw? So far how do you like it? BTW, I edit video too and I understand this AW monitor is good all around. Thanks in advance..
10:58 that transition was so clean!
ikr i was mindblown XD!
9:28 was very cool too.
Damn the production quality on this is through the roof! Amazing work, keep it up.
Very nice review, it's the right amount of in-depth and I really feel like I know all about the monitor afterwards.
Keep up the amazing quality (both content and video)! You sound very dedicated to it and I really think your channel will grow lots like this.
This is one of the best monitor reviews I have come across. Great work! Subbed!
Most in depth monitor review i've seen and ive been searching ALOT. Thank you so much. Keep it up !
Damn, your footage is so clean.
Bijan, thank you. Awesome and informative content as always. I'm eagerly awaiting your next UW reviews.
My new favorite channel! Just ordered two of these! Thanks!
Nice review! With timestamps, straight to the point and without any nonsense.
Just discovered your channel, great stuff. Professional, quick to the important info, good delivery. Subbed!
Great production values, very informative and nicely paced.
I am enjoying my AW3821DW, although I wish I had seen this review before purchasing hehe
I was waiting on this even though i already just bought a monitor!
Overall impressive!
Both monitor and review.
This channel is going to be big
Love your reviews. I love all my alienware monitors!
Looking fresh!
Both you and the monitor.
Yesss! Habibi I've been on the edge waiting for your review. Impatiently, I bought an X34 GS from microcenter today. Watching now....
The problem with Alienware monitors is the back is so nice looking I always want to put it in a middle of the room setup.
I just bought this monitor and I have been having these exact thoughts... hahaha
This video was very well made. You got a new subscriber 😁
Mine arrived today. Setting it up now!
Dell told me I had to wait for 3 weeks. Got home tonight and it was here!
Great review!👍
Absolutely impecable review.
Hi just wanted to tell you that I am very impressed with your presentation and your analysis very professional
Subtitles!!! yeahhh!! As always, great review.
Hi! Thank you for the great vid and unbiased review. I've just bought it recently and some colors seem weird to me, compared to my old screen, so I am really happy to find info about color calibration to fix it. However, I am a really new one with that kind of stuff so could you please tell me which tools should I use to make a calibration?
I have one of these Monitors (got a really great deal on it at the end of December) and I love it. Two things to take into consideration though. It comes with a 1m display cable, which is a bit short for a Monitor this size (it's nearly a meter wide and needs a big desk) and you'll need a monster GPU to utilise it properly. My GTX 2080 Super is really pushed and 144 fps is just a pipe dream for the time being.
Hello. I would love to ask you if you think ASUS VG279QM is still a bad choice. I saw your review on it and you didn't seem too happy about this monitor. But then, you made a newer review, but with 24.5" model, which you were super happy about. I know you mentioned different testing etc, but I saw your comment somewhere that you think the 27" had worse panel.
I looked up both on RTINGS and in their reviews it seemed like they are identical or 27" had even better panel (maybe you were unlucky with the first batch?).
I'm seriously thinking about buying the 27" model, because I'm used to my 27" 1080p 144hz Samsung, so I don't know if I can get used to 24" again ... I know pixel density isn't the best on 27" but I would say I got used to it and I don't find my texts etc horrible, they actually seem pretty ok...
I know there are some other 240hz alternatives, but the only game I play actively is CS:GO, where I think the 40hz extra are an advantage compared to others.
Nice video! What was the custom color settings?
Hi Bijan, I'm contemplating between getting the 3821 or the 3420. Would you say that this model is much better than the 3420?
How are you calibrating this? Through windows or is there a way to do this from within the monitor menu? For what it's worth, the G9 is 31:9 aspect ratio. This is teh equivalent of two 27" monitors side by side. The experience IMO would be like looking thru a very wide but narrow slit. Its not going to be the same as this large 21:9 display. (At least based on my use of dual 27" monitors)
Which would you recommend? this or the Samsung g7 32"? those are the 2 im considering most. Anything else you can recommend over those 2? must be gsync and over 30", also 21:9 and faster refresh rate are a bonus.
Hey, I just got this monitor and was wondering how you reduce screen size to have the black bars for FPS :)
Great review. I have a AW3821DW and I'm not a pro user, I just want to play some games and maybe watch a few Films. Just how do I go about calibrating my monitor? Just which software/utilities I can use to create a color profile?
For single player games what would be an ideal size for monitor (full immersion) coming from 15inch tn panel 7yrs old
Great video! And yes, please more ultra wide monitor reviews! I look forward to some budget to mid range displays.
What would you consider budget and mid range?
@@BijanJamshidi I believe that’s subjective, but maybe under $500 usd for budget and $500 to $1000 usd as mid range. Just a thought.
@@hondathinktank I have both of those coming.
Man, this was a great review! Thanks! Any chances you will do one for the Acer Predator X38P and compare it to this one?
glad to see this review, I went with a LG 38gl950 and love it. Looking forward to more UW content
I purchased an Amazon Warehouse 38GL950 to review. If it's RUclips worthy (And not completely destroyed), I'll review it and compare.
@@BijanJamshidi that will be cool to see, hopefully you get a decent unit!
I choose my monitor owing to Bijan's review and am very happy. And it just so happened Hardware Unboxed also included a glowing review of the monitor shortly after. This channel should be up there with the likes of Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus - pretty sure it will before long.
Hey man, what is the depth of your desk and what do you consider a comfortable position to have your eyes from the screen? With the original stand, you have to count 25cm/10" from the very back to the front of the screen so that space is already 'lost'. :)
how do you get to the color vibrancy ? i cant find it anywhere even with game 1 selected
I just bought this beast today and can't wait for it to arrive. Also, I'm considering make a dual monitor setup with my current BenQ xl2540 when I need to play competitive games like CSGO. But overall, love your video, it helps a lot.
Awesome review!!!
This is a really good review.
I'm a doubt if is worth buy the BenQ Zowie xl2546 or wait for the new IPS or OLED monitors? Because of the new gen of consoles I'm trying find if is worth it buy Zowie or not...
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR A WHILE! To bad I can’t afford it and have to stick with the 1440p 240hz version
Hey Bijan, great review. How deep was your desk using this monitor ? Much love!
Wonder if this is any better than the LG Ultragear 38. Am considering getting a 38" to replace my CRG9.
Mainly because I don't have enough desk space at my new place. The 49 takes up the entire desk.
Any ETA for the followup video? Have you been using it this last month?
At what speed you shoot screen UFO test? For 60Hz - 1/60sec, 144Hz - 1/144sec and etc? (i know that u move camera according the reference image)
Ilove your reviews my bro🔥
how does the curve numbering system go? like 1900 R vs 1000 R and so on?
Kindly compare deatils review on which one to buy in Alienware AW3821DW VS LG 38gn950
I actually just got the Samsung Odyssey G9 49" Monitor, and although it's absolutely beautiful, I find that it's a bit too much head movement for general PC viewing, plus also, I'd prefer the extra couple of inches more than the 13.5" screen height, so I was considering returning it for this Alienware AW3821DW...will I regret it? Thanks.
I have the G9 49” and this particular monitor and I’m switching back to my Alienware because of the head movement and how large it is
that LTT GPU Tee! Came here from Hardware unboxed's video about LG doing nonsense. This review is excellent, and you have presented yourself as a genuine member of the tech reviewer community. Like, Subscribed, and if you get the membership figured out, might do that as well. If you get on Floatplane, you should definitely announce it here. I honestly like your presentation more than some of the bigger guys in this market.
Edit: You should reach out to JayzTwoCents, Harris Heller(Alpha Gaming), and GN for advice about the Membership thing. They're all going to be pretty knowledgeable, and most likely to respond(Harris Heller could probably get a video's worth of content out of it, so might present it that way) Look forward to more good stuff!
I remember there were many problems about the Odyssey G9 Display.. Is is now safe to buy this panel in 2021? Thinking about the G9 or the Alienware AW3420DW. Its a hard decision. Maybe you could help me. Also don't know if G9 is to huge for me..

Hi, does the monitor support PiP and PbP? Thanks
Is there any way to have multiple windows via management software that comes with this?
Your doc for the post calibration isn't working. How are you connected? Hdmi or DP
So. As someone who owned and returned the g9, I can day that playing on a monitor that big is a treat. When it works. The g9 had a lot of qc and technical issues that really held it back. Also support in games for super ultra wide isn't the best. There can be a very prominent fish eye effect, either due to the fov or perhaps to the massive curve, which is essential on a monitor this big.
A lot of people never did the firmware update cause it was in Korean and you had to search for it. I had issues for weeks until i found it, and Samsung had to come to my house and repair it (free), but after that, not one single issue and i still have the 2 year Best Buy warranty. This, after Alienware sent me a replacement for the 34 in curved 120hz for dead pixels. If somethings gonna break, it happens in the first few years, always use the manf warranty before returning 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾 especially when you know the stock is zero.
Do you have a guide on how to calibrate so that the colors are looking like they should?
have you reviewed the LG 38GN950 to compare?
Trying to decide if I want to get this 38 or the AW3420dw , basically I will only use it for first person shooter games (fortnight,rocket league ) .
Does 1080p, or 1440p video look strange on 1600p?
Currently debating on snagging this monitor or a LG 4k monitor. Currently have two 27 one being 1080p 240hz and the other 27 1440 144hz
Bijan: hitting the 20 minute mark
Me: NiCe
I want them to be as short as possible but I gatta have all the info lol
dat ports transition
I'm not sure if I want to go for this or just the 240hz 1440p when im playing games like tarkov, cod and apex hmm
Alienware/Dell seem to be killing it, the cool aesthetics along with decent quality is impressive (except those price points, but this monitor isn’t targeted at me anyways).
Can you review the Dell U3821DW for productivity next? Great vid btw.
Any G9 review? I am torn between this and the G9.
I currently have the Alienware aw2721d and was thinking of going to a ultra wide. What’s your opinion if o should. Looking for a 34” I’m thinking though but the drop from 240hz to 120 or 144 is a lot. Figured you tested a lot you may have a good option to choose from
Most people would struggle to consistently pick 240hz over 144hz in a blind test. Unless you are a "true" top level FPS competitive gamer, you are probably over valuing that 240hz. You will likely get FAR more enjoyment and benefit out of a 144hz Ultra-wide over any 240hz 16:9.
Great video! Want to see more ultra wide monitor review, still dabbling on 16:9 monitor...
How is the black on this one? My AOC AG352UCG has like circles of different blacks in a game like Diablo 3 or Star Citizen. It's really not that good.
Oversaturation in green and red are very nice
I have the 34inch alienware ultrawide and it can run 3440x1600 at 120hz just fine so that extra 38inch is it worth it though
2 years later, at $999, this is the best bang for buck ultrawide.
To turn on the bottom light underneath the front of the monitor or turn it off simply touch the bezel underneath the Alienware logo. It's touch sensitive no physical button availible.
Excellent review 👌
Now you have to review the so claimed best budget ultra wide monitor AOC CU34G2X
if I have a 7900xt video card, would this monitor work. Can G-sync still work on my AMD card? Please let me know
I love this monitor but I have an with issue alt tabbing out a full screen application and it turns off then turns back on.
Awesome review! I've heard this model thrown around as a contender for top three best ultrawides, alongside the LG 38GN950 & Samsung G9.
If you could only buy two monitors, one for competitive play and the other for casual play, which two would you choose?
Alienware or asus 360Hz and any ultrawide that’s good.
@@BijanJamshidi Are there any advantages or disadvantages from running this monitor at 1440 instead of its native resolution? My thought is that 1440 is the sweet spot for gaming and getting decent frame rates.
@Bijan Jamshidi
Salaam / Hola
Great review BTW.
Would an Nvidia RTX 3070 drive this monitor properly to the upper limits, FPS etc.? Or would it struggle? I ask because that is what I have in my PC. It is paired with an i9 (10900 non-k) and 128GB of RAM.
Also, can you have multiple input sources (i.e. two PCs, or a laptop and a PC) displayed at the same time on the screen (side-by-side or otherwise) by dividing the screen into |zones"? Some of Dell's other monitors allow for this. Or do you have to toggle back and forth between input sources?
Lastly, with regard to calibrating. Have you used the SpiderX Elite? And if so how does it compare with the X-Rite i1 Display Pro Plus? I have never calibrated a monitor before, although I am not worried about it being overwhelming, I do however want to get the better of the two in order to start and continue maintaining accuracy on my monitor. And do you recommend using their respective software or DisplayCAL? I have been doing my research on this subject, calibration, and have read some state that DisplayCAL is the "better" software to use with either of these two. I also heard some state SpiderX is better while others state that X-Rite is better? Almost 50/50. That's why I would appreciate knowing your opinion, especially if you have used both. What are you thoughts?
Shalom ... gir gir wajid
Pixel density is referred to incorrectly at 18:35 I think. The density is around 110, the same as a 27" 1440p.
Can we just appreciate that smooth transition at 9:35 ??
Oh yeah, you probably had it already but... 1440p!
Also love the snowy roof background
Hi. I didnt get how you calibrated the monitor.
What i understand is youre using the custom setting with the RGB values you told. But how/where you calibrated/set the values to match the dots and boxes?
Also the monitor comes with a driver/ windows profile. Did you use that?
You need hardware to calibrate
The other thing to remember is if your card can support the additional "11 inches" Enjoy the videos, keep them coming.
Is on sale for S1099. Is it worth it at that price?
I got this on sale for $899. I love it! Took a min to calibrate it but once I did it looks amazing.
Hi, I want to buy a 4k monitor for gaming and for work and for watching movies, but I can't decide which monitor is better: I have a video card rtx 3090 kingpin, I want to buy a good monitor so that I don't regret buying later:
Can't help make the right choice? thank
more I want to buy from Dell or Asus
Bijan, great video! What desk is that?
Autonomous Premium desk
Is this good for ps5 and xbox?
13:51 the phoenix clutch 🔥
G9 49” has had a bunch of issues that some say are finally fixed however didn’t want to take the chance on it. Still saying it’s making the s cracking noises. Build quality and warranty on the Alienware is amazing. Have my Alienware coming in a few days.
What tools/software did you use to run the tests? I have the monitor plugged in to my MacBook pro...
If you’re talking about the color test, X-Rite i1 Display Pro colorimeter, and Portrait Calman Ultimate for software.
Hi! I just watch your rewiev about the Alienware AW3821DW, I have a question for you, can I use this monitor @ 3840x1600 144hz 10-bit HDR at the same time? I read on Reddit and other sites that monitor goes to 8-bit when it runs at 144hz. It's that true? Can you please help me find an answer to this dilemma? Thanks
120hz is 10bit
Can you provide feedback on PIP/PBP on future Ultrawide reviews? For those "workers with laptops" who are also gamers looking for a 1-solution for their office setup, I'm hoping to land on one soon. Also can you mention context on viewing distance. you briefly touched on it but at what distance from the center of the desk is ideal for 38" ultrawide? Thanks!
That actually is not a bad idea. I will do that after this upcoming review, as long as the monitor supports it.
If I have the older version of this monitor, would upgrading to this one make any sense?
Performance wise, I don't think so... maybe image quality wise?
Honestly, probably not. If you can somehow sell your monitor for what you nearly payed for it, then it'll be a nice upgrade.
Thanks for the info (Been looking to get more info about this)
