Have you been checking out the upcoming Nvidia 50 Series GPUs, but worry your gaming monitor is holding you back? Dell is offering a healthy discount on the Alienware AW3225QF, an impressively equipped gaming panel that will give even the Nvidia RTX 5090 Founders Edition (7/10, WIRED Recommends ) some room to breathe.
Alienware tends to have pronounced styling, with this screen in particular sporting rounded edges and light-colored panels. If that bothers you, the stand is replaceable for any VESA 100 x 100 mount, and it’s not like you’ll see the back while using it anyway.
At the heart of this gaming monitor, you’ll find a slightly curved 4K QD-OLED panel, which should result in deeper, darker black levels, as well as beautifully rich colors. While 32 inches might not be the largest panel size, I think it strikes a nice balance between pixel density and usability. The 240-Hz refresh rate is among the highest available at that resolution, which should give this screen plenty of life over the next few years.

For anyone who can’t quite keep up with the 240-Hz refresh rate right now, the Alienware has Nvidia G-Sync. This adaptive refresh technology keeps your display’s panel tied to the frame rate of the game you’re playing, reducing tearing and flickering when the two don’t line up. While G-Sync only works with Nvidia graphics cards, AMD users can still take advantage of the VESA AdaptiveSync standard, which has the same core functionality.
I also appreciate both the inputs provided here, as well as the included cables. Alongside a DisplayPort 1.4 port, you’ll find three HDMI 2.1 ports, one with FRL and eARC, as well as a full USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub. Alienware includes the corresponding HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB 3.2 Gen 1 cables, so you don’t need to dig around in your bin of old cables wondering which might work.
If that all sounds appealing, Dell has the 4K Alienware panel marked down from $1,200 to $900, and then you can use the code MONITORS15 to take an additional 15 percent, bringing the total cost down to just $765. The code will be good through 7 am CST on February 3, but only as long as these stay in stock.
