Got mine 1 week ago. I am more of a „casual Gaming dad“. I paired it with a 7900xt, 7800x3d and play mainly sea of thieves, baldurs Gate 3, league and battlefield. Setup was super easy, it came without any scratches and there were 2 foils on the display (a thin one and a bubble layer). No scratches and no dust/fingerprints/dirt visible. After initial setup and hz adjustment i ran a quick update which works only if the usb cable is connected. I left everything on default, hdr is activated and it Looks fucking awesome. 2 Little complaints: you really need to have a dark room to completely enjoy it. I even disconnected my secondary display since it was too bright in discord / browsing while i played on the alienware. And dolby vision sometimes let the screen flicker when you change Focus or start a new game, no clue why. Except that: Perfect Display for my needs, all games run Smoothie with 130-200 fps, ati accepts the freesync feature and i couldnt be happier.
@@Anthony-Soprano i said in my games. Sea of thieves, league of legends. There i got plenty of fps. Helldivers seems to be very poorly optimized. Its arround 70 fps which still feels ok. Bf2042 was arround 100fps, but idk. Maybe i need to test one of the eye candy titles one day but for the moment it seems i hit my Sweet spot with this specific Hardware 🤷♂️
It really is amazing. I had a 42" lg c2, then a 27gr95qe, then this and also bought the 27 360hz model to try as well. the 32" 4k 240hz is BY FAR the best OLED option on the market right now.
but isnt the curve distracting? id like to replace my cx48 and i think 32" will be the sweetspot but im really unsure about the curve^^ playing a lot of codmw3 and storygames etc.@@CreateConsumeRepeat
@@s123pongebob I thought i would have a problem with the curve as well but after seeing it in person and playing a few games of COD and overwatch the curve didnt bother me at all.
Had this for 3-4 weeks. Incredible. I never wanted a curved monitor but another YTer said it was so subtle, to try it. I Love the curve. no need to wait for flat. My LG 32GQ950 sits next to it. I still prefer the curved QD OLED. Firmware updates have fixed all the issues. Can catch these at $999 on sale. That's what I paid. Worth every penny.
Bought the Monitor a few days ago and I'm so happy I spent the extra buck for this beauty. My color standards are very high since I am a 3D artist and video-/photographer and they are definitely satisfied. Going with a 4k QD-OLED Panel was probably my second best decision in the past year coming close to the moment I chose to pursue my dream job full time. I hav not seen any Monitor that is this sharp. Coming from a 2k 32 inch monitor what amazed me the most is the text clarity, you could just stare at any text for hours on this monitor, stuff is sharper than reality. All in all there is just one major drawback which doesn't bother me but is worth pointing out: this Monitors only weakness is its reflectiveness, it is no joke. I sit parallel to my Window front so I dont get any reflections from sunlight and can use this Monitor without problems during daytime with windows wide open so as long as you position yourself accordingly you will be fine in HDR mode. But my Keyboards RGBs are reflected in the monitor. Heavily. Have to turn them off. Still best 32 inch monitor for a hybrid between high end gaming and high end productivity
@@lukasboysen1325 I just got this yesterday...haven't opened it yet! I was gonna ask abt your experience with text! I need a monitor that's Mac friendly for music and video editing along with productivity some excel etc* What made you purchase this one? I was lucky to get it on sale and wasn't looking for a curved monitor but I went with it! May be overkill for what I need it for...now I'm researching making sure it was the right option! Seems like it so far! Thanks for your breakdown!
Ordered one as soon as they went live on Dell's store. Best monitor I've ever owned, by far. Couldn't be happier with it. Good video here, but just one minor error I noticed. All three of the ports support 4K@240Hz, not just the DisplayPort. The two HDMI 2.1 ports are also capable of 4K@240Hz. The consoles max out at 120Hz as that's their limit, but the display itself can do 240Hz over HDMI when connected to a PC.
Thanks for watching and the kind words. I did find this online so I was hesitant to mention FRL. “HDMI 2.1 cables can technically support 240Hz at 4K if it uses display stream compression, but that’s not ideal for gaming as it can introduce visual artifacts. For lower resolutions, however, like 1440p or 1080p, it has no trouble managing that without compression.”
DisplayPort 1.4 has a lower bandwidth than HDMI 2.1, so both need DSC (Display Stream Compression) to reach the full 4K 240 Hz, and most people probably won't even notice DSC is on because it's a lossless compression.
Yes but the decision yo go DisplayPort vs HDMI is a little more nuanced and depends on your specific use case. Here is a great article: www.avaccess.com/blogs/guides/displayport-1-4-vs-hdmi-2-1-gaming/
This is absolutely the monitor I want for my setup. It will be worth saving up the money for it. I am looking forward to getting my hands on this in a few months
I don't consider a curve this minor to be a serious impediment to professional work -- more like a minor inconvenience that can be worked around, if the monitor otherwise suits your needs. I got mine mostly for productivity (I know about the burn-in risks and will live with them), with some photo/video editing -- and gaming really last (but sometimes!). I find I barely notice the curve when sitting back. When I need absolutely straight lines for editing photos of things like architecture, I've got gridlines in my apps. I'd still have preferred a flat display, but I don't think there's anything I want to do that I can't with this monitor. It's just that a minor fraction of tasks I do need me to be mindful of the curve and compensate for it.
Golden Axe is indeed a classic game. I anticipate the arrival of my new monitor, which is scheduled to arrive on the 13th of next week. I am excited to make the transition from my Samsung QD-OLED TV to a smaller monitor. This Alienware32 4KQD-OLED monitor will feel like a new experience all over again, especially using a 3rd gen QD-OLED panel.
Its Beyond amazing, I never thought clarity and crisp image would effect my gameplay but the kills I'm getting in fps games like hell let loose and warzone is way higher than usual. I see everything so clearly now!!!@@maximefraisier1010

Hi there, thanks for your great review. In the beginning you say that this is not a good monitor for main design. I understand that working as a professional illustrator or designer this is not a good option. However i build websites and i use Illustrator and other design programs occasionally. I also create T-shirt prints for myself (not professionally). I never had a curved monitor I was thinking about a 34 inch but i let go of that idea. So now i'm aiming this monitor. What do you recon ?
As a professional designer I recommend an IPS due to cost. But if you need color accuracy, go OLED monitor. Regardless what you decide it needs to be flat. Also keep in mind designers don’t need high refresh rates but if you want a monitor that can be used for both gaming and design you will have to pay a ton of money. Check out my LG review. ruclips.net/video/bLg2QHln2HA/видео.htmlsi=cz7pL4KODDljE3wh
All 3 use the same samsung panel, I believe the asus has a matte finish while the other 2 are glossy. Some slight software differences and connectivity difference, but you can just look those up
Been absolutely loving this display. Still a few issues that need to be corrected but it hasn’t been a deal breaker for me. Gsync probably won’t ever work through HDMI 2.1 iv just accepted this is so
@@fayezelomari iv tried so many different ways to get Gsync to work. It’s strange that your saying it works bc even Dell admits it only works with Display port
Only downside i have with mine, is no aux port or speakers in monitor. Hard to get audio from consoles lol. I have to plug my speakers into my controller lmao
I just got this over the weekend and a little confused on how to work it. Hdr/dolby vision works on desktop but when i play games its off even though the option in games says that its on . when i switchto desktop it shows dolby vision on again. Switch back to game, it gets bright with dobly vision on for 1 sec and then switches off. Ive updated to the latest firmware. Are you having this problem?
@@CreateConsumeRepeat this seems better than Samsung 49" glossy oled g9 what's your opinion on it? & I can't get it to be at 240hz what cables do you recommend?
Ok I need help I am on the market looking for a good monitor for my gaming experience so between these 3 could someone help me choose one LG- Ultra gear 32" oled dual mode 4K UHD 240hz, FHD 480 hz Asus-Rog swift 32" oled dual mode 4K 240 hz, UHD 480hz and at last, Alienware-AW3225QF 31.6" qunatum dot oled curved gaming monitor 4k 240hz. Any help would be appreciated. Hey, you just got a new subscriber.
Thank you for subscribing! Here’s how you could approach it: Gaming Priorities: Consider your gaming preferences. If you play fast-paced games like shooters or racing games, the higher refresh rates (480Hz) on the LG and Asus models might be a key factor. As long as your GPU can handle it. Display Type: The Quantum Dot OLED on the Alienware could offer more vibrant colors and deeper contrasts, which might appeal to you if you’re into cinematic visuals. If you’re looking for versatility, both the LG and Asus models offer dual-mode displays, which could be beneficial if you want the flexibility to switch between resolutions and refresh rates. Build and Aesthetic: The curved screen on the Alienware might provide a more immersive field of view, especially in larger setups. BUT if you plan to do professional design work; a curved panel is not gonna cut it. Hope this helps.
@@CreateConsumeRepeat Yes it does help thank you so much but I wanna add this I am more into single playing games however I do play destiny crucible and warzone but not as much as I play single player. And no i do not plan to use my monitor for professional design, i am going to use it only for gaming and streaming. so one last question should I go with the Alienware? Once again thanks and keep doing what you are doing.
I’m interested if you can use a custom res of let’s say 3840x1600 so I can also play ultrawide. I hear you can’t because of DSC can’t be disabled for whatever reason, but is it possible to do a work around like use a windowed Ultrawide res?
lol i am now doing the same thing. had a 4090 for a over a year on a Dell S2721DGF which at the time and for it's price is a great IPS gaming monitor, but now it will be my 2nd monitor with the AW32 as the main. Can't wait.
Hey quick question, does this monitor do 240 hz through hdmi? I am asking because I have the alienware aw2725df and it only does 144hz when gaming on hdmi passthrough with my dual PC stream setup.
I think so yes because it’s using 2.1 hdmi just need a device with a gpu to run it don’t quote me I been learning too day by day I just got this monitor .
While the 4070 is capable of 4K your frame rate will more than likely never hit 120fps. Obviously this is dependent on many conditions like the type of games, DLSS,etc. When you take those factors into consideration I would stick with a 1440 OLED. Just my opinion.
I can check tonight but my initial thoughts are as follows: it will look fine but to get the most you should run monitors at their native resolutions. If you plan on upgrading your video card soon, just wait. The price will come down.
Thank you very mutch. I want to buy this monitor now and run it in 1440p, because my pc cant handle 4k and I will wait for 5090/9800X3D upgrade. So I can enjoy OLED with all benefits and last upgrade will be 4k and a bit more fps with new rig.@@CreateConsumeRepeat
I checked and 1440 looks good. Not as good as 3840x1920 but still really good. That said, I would wait for the price to go down and you have a video card that can handle 4K. BUT if you do decide to pick it up you will be happy.
Glad to hear that, thank you so much! I've already pre-ordered this beast, I've been waiting years for a monitor like this and I can't wait any more :D Now I have a 144hz VA panel so this could be a huge leap for me. I bought AW for €1,142. The Asus model cost 1,655 € in my country, so the price of the AW doesn't seem too bad in comparison.
It’s is cheap though here in Uk. Say £900. I can’t imagine others are going to be this cheap. I mainly have excel or word or web design as work- could I do that a bit and game a lot?
You could totally do email, word and excel but I would try to see it in person first. Most people won’t be bothered by the sub pixel layout but it’s really subjective.
I have had multiple OLED as monitors. I use the hell out of them. This burn in thing is a bit of a ghost story. Does it happen, yes given enough time. I have had multiple monitors for 2 years and absolutely abused them like I would any other monitor. You aren't going to burn it in in that time frame unless you literally left it on all day every day with the same content on it. The tech has come along way since it first appeared.
@@CreateConsumeRepeat That's not really true. Either has to use DSC to get to 240hz.... There is literally no benefit for one or the other. You fail to mention that it has to use DSC as well.
One major flaw of this monitor is that it does not have a USB-C display port. The USB-C port is for charging your phone ONLY! It has no audio jack or built in speakers. So if you have one of those Dell XPS laptops or Desktops with amazing RTX GTX graphics cards but just a headphone jack. you are out of luck. Blue tooth speakers or laptop speakers. So much for full on media. A great monitor with crappy sound is not appealing to me.
While I agree that not having a USB-C display port is a bit of a letdown, this monitor offers plenty of other ways to connect. And sure, laptop speakers are 'fine' for gaming on the go, but pairing them with this display? That’s like slapping high-end race car tires on a tricycle. You’re just not going to get the performance you’re hoping for. Go for some proper speakers and let the display shine!✨
i can't wait to buy a new monitor with this technology.....but ...i think i'll wait next year when the gpu 5090 come out maybe and maybe someone will do a 32" 4k 360hz with that gpu lol
Dell had it all perfect! First 4K 32 release, glossy screen, great refresh, amazing price compared to competition and decided to RUIN it all with a curved display! What a waste!
While I agree the curve is limiting for professional. creative work I think for gaming and media ingestion it slays. I have zero regrets. That said, wait a few months for Samsung and LG to drop their new OLEDs.
How is the text clarity and word/website usage? Does it look funny? Would you recommend it for a 80% desktop/web/word and 20% gaming/movies? @@CreateConsumeRepeat
The monitor uses Samsung's third-generation QD-OLED panel but this is Alienware’s second monitor to use a QD-OLED Samsung panel. So, it’s Alienwares second-generation.
Agreed. Transitioning from the LG 32GQ950, which features a headphone jack on the bottom, required some adjustments. However, the addition of eARC is a significant advantage, especially for those using a soundbar.
@@CreateConsumeRepeat eArc is a nice edition, but should sacrifice the headphone jack. I mean not everyone wants to setup and full size soundbar on there desk.
I believe I mention in the video that it’s perfect for the PS5 or Xbox series X. I personally think it’s a perfect match due to the Dolby Vision support, earc port and VRR. Definitely not overkill. I use it for both my PC and Xbox series X.

That’s a very specific setup. I personally use my monitor as a single display connected via display port. In my config it does 240.
I think so yes because it’s using 2.1 hdmi just need a device with a gpu to run it don’t quote me I been learning too day by day I just got this monitor .
How would this go with a Geforce rtx 4070 or is it better to stick with a Asus Rog Swift Oled PG27AQDM (1440)?
While the 4070 is capable of 4K your frame rate will more than likely never hit 120fps. Obviously this is dependent on many conditions like the type of games, DLSS,etc. When you take those factors into consideration I would stick with a 1440 OLED. Just my opinion.
Just got this 😊
Amazing. Would love to hear what you think so far.
And the burn-in effect? Should I be worried over time?
It has a three year warranty so I wouldn’t worry.
Please, can you let me know how 1440p resolution looks like on this monitor ?
I can check tonight but my initial thoughts are as follows: it will look fine but to get the most you should run monitors at their native resolutions. If you plan on upgrading your video card soon, just wait. The price will come down.
Thank you very mutch. I want to buy this monitor now and run it in 1440p, because my pc cant handle 4k and I will wait for 5090/9800X3D upgrade. So I can enjoy OLED with all benefits and last upgrade will be 4k and a bit more fps with new rig.@@CreateConsumeRepeat
I checked and 1440 looks good. Not as good as 3840x1920 but still really good. That said, I would wait for the price to go down and you have a video card that can handle 4K. BUT if you do decide to pick it up you will be happy.
Glad to hear that, thank you so much! I've already pre-ordered this beast, I've been waiting years for a monitor like this and I can't wait any more :D Now I have a 144hz VA panel so this could be a huge leap for me. I bought AW for €1,142. The Asus model cost 1,655 € in my country, so the price of the AW doesn't seem too bad in comparison.
Where did you get that NeiR Automata screen saver!!!!
Wallpaper engine. You can download the app from Steam.
Thank you! Subscribed!
Hello, I am confused, it doesnt have audio Jack. So how can i connect my speaker with this moniter.
You can connect to your computers audio via HDMI or if you decide to use DisplayPort you can use the USB port.
Two more days until mine comes! I cant wait to see if it de thrones the Lg c2 i have been using.
Can’t wait to hear what you think.
Thinking to buy lg c3 42 or this one
It’s is cheap though here in Uk. Say £900. I can’t imagine others are going to be this cheap. I mainly have excel or word or web design as work- could I do that a bit and game a lot?
You could totally do email, word and excel but I would try to see it in person first. Most people won’t be bothered by the sub pixel layout but it’s really subjective.
What about burn in and care to prevent it?
3 year warranty. Use a screen saver. It also has some features in the OSD
I have had multiple OLED as monitors. I use the hell out of them. This burn in thing is a bit of a ghost story. Does it happen, yes given enough time. I have had multiple monitors for 2 years and absolutely abused them like I would any other monitor.
You aren't going to burn it in in that time frame unless you literally left it on all day every day with the same content on it. The tech has come along way since it first appeared.
It would be nice if this was shot in HDR. :)
Next time ;)
hello, is it possible to use this monitor with an after market monitor stand?
As long as the stand is 100x100m VESA compliant.
@@CreateConsumeRepeat thank you for the info. great review.
What background is that on you're pc very beginning.
Wallpaper engine is the app I use and the wallpaper is called “The First Step”
@@CreateConsumeRepeat what would you say is the best cable to use for this monitor DP 1.4 or HDMI 2.1
@bear0118 I use DisplayPort but HDMI works as well.
Could you use aux to usb-c for sound with my speakers?
I haven’t tried it but probably not but don’t quote me.
So should I be using the hdmi or the display ports
Display port when connected to a PC. No question about it.
@@CreateConsumeRepeat That's not really true. Either has to use DSC to get to 240hz.... There is literally no benefit for one or the other. You fail to mention that it has to use DSC as well.
What kind of film does it have on the screen?
I address this question at the 2:30 mark of the video.
There’s no audio jack how to I use this with my consoles…
HDMI
One major flaw of this monitor is that it does not have a USB-C display port. The USB-C port is for charging your phone ONLY! It has no audio jack or built in speakers. So if you have one of those Dell XPS laptops or Desktops with amazing RTX GTX graphics cards but just a headphone jack. you are out of luck. Blue tooth speakers or laptop speakers. So much for full on media. A great monitor with crappy sound is not appealing to me.
While I agree that not having a USB-C display port is a bit of a letdown, this monitor offers plenty of other ways to connect. And sure, laptop speakers are 'fine' for gaming on the go, but pairing them with this display? That’s like slapping high-end race car tires on a tricycle. You’re just not going to get the performance you’re hoping for. Go for some proper speakers and let the display shine!✨
Does it have built in speakers
No it does not.
does it have a cross hair option?
Yes it does but from I can tell it isn’t very customizable.
Felicitaciones como Siempre Perfecto Bendiciones 🙏🍾🍸
i can't wait to buy a new monitor with this technology.....but ...i think i'll wait next year when the gpu 5090 come out maybe and maybe someone will do a 32" 4k 360hz with that gpu lol
😂😂😂 I better start saving.
@@CreateConsumeRepeat yep xD
@@mattgotsskill yes i know and i can't wait :)
🤯🤯🤯
What is the game at 4:51?
A Plague Tale: Requiem
does this beat out the QLED samung neo g8?
Having only seen the Samsung g8 at a BestBuy I would say, yes.
What's that wallpaper?
Which one? I have a bunch in the video.
@@CreateConsumeRepeat the one with the little viking in the mountains. looks amazing imho.
Wallpaper engine is the app I use and the wallpaper is called “The First Step”
@@CreateConsumeRepeatthank you!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Dell had it all perfect! First 4K 32 release, glossy screen, great refresh, amazing price compared to competition and decided to RUIN it all with a curved display! What a waste!
While I agree the curve is limiting for professional. creative work I think for gaming and media ingestion it slays. I have zero regrets. That said, wait a few months for Samsung and LG to drop their new OLEDs.
How is the text clarity and word/website usage? Does it look funny? Would you recommend it for a 80% desktop/web/word and 20% gaming/movies? @@CreateConsumeRepeat
@@CreateConsumeRepeatHow would this affect professional or creative work in anyway?
its using gen3 panel
The monitor uses Samsung's third-generation QD-OLED panel but this is Alienware’s second monitor to use a QD-OLED Samsung panel. So, it’s Alienwares second-generation.
The gloss reflection is painful I'm not a vampire who sits in a gooning cave i can't live in the dark sorry
Totally understandable. The screen coating isn’t for everyone.
No headphone jack really sucks
Agreed. Transitioning from the LG 32GQ950, which features a headphone jack on the bottom, required some adjustments. However, the addition of eARC is a significant advantage, especially for those using a soundbar.
@@CreateConsumeRepeat eArc is a nice edition, but should sacrifice the headphone jack. I mean not everyone wants to setup and full size soundbar on there desk.
@@CreateConsumeRepeatwould this monitor be good for playing my Xbox series x on-or would it be overkill??
I believe I mention in the video that it’s perfect for the PS5 or Xbox series X. I personally think it’s a perfect match due to the Dolby Vision support, earc port and VRR. Definitely not overkill. I use it for both my PC and Xbox series X.
I have this monitor and imo it’s overrated. The monitor doesn’t get bright enough
Sorry that you aren’t happy with your purchase but appreciate your sharing your thoughts.
Why so many censored words?
Cause I curse a ton.
I see, the noise from the censorship is distracting and harsh on the ear.
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll send it along to the support team ;)
Thank you. Great review.
