Here are the two Alienware monitor deals worth your time this Prime Day
Table of Contents
So the October Prime Day sales are in full swing, and we’ve already spotted some big reductions on all things gaming. That said, some brands appear to have more on offer than others when it comes to gaming monitors. Case in point, we’ve seen some of Samsung’s most expensive monitors get their prices slashed, as is the case with LG too.
But what about Alienware? Dell’s gaming brand which boasts some of the most premium gaming monitors around? Well it looks like fairly slim pickings this year, but there are two deals I’d say are worth considering in the sales.
If you’re short on time, the two deals are a 31% off the Alienware Legend 2.0 AW3423DW, and 26% off the Alienware 24.5 inch AW2523HF, both of which are impressive and versatile gaming monitors. For a quick breakdown of each monitor and their most interesting specs and features, I’ve got you covered right here.
Alienware Legend 2.0 AW3423DW Gaming Monitor
Alienware 24.5 inch AW2523HF Gaming Monitor
Alienware Legend 2.0 AW3423DW Gaming Monitor – Was $1,099.99, Now $759.89
Alienware Legend 2.0 AW3423DW Gaming Monitor
Key Specs and Features
- Screen Size: 34 Inches
- Resolution: QHD Ultra Wide 1440p
- Aspect Ratio: 21:9
- Screen Surface: Matte
- Refresh Rate: 175hz
- Adaptive Sync: NVIDIA G-SYNC ULTIMATE
So we’ll start with the more expensive of the two, the AW3423DW. The first thing you’ll see is that this has a QD-OLED display, which is one of the very top-end options you can get. QD-OLED is essentially the next step from OLED, and are typically characterised by their improved brightness in relation to its predecessor. What does that mean in a more practical sense for gaming? Well, it means you’re likely to get more vivid color, dark and inky blacks, and be able to see the picture clearly even in well-lit rooms. QD-OLED monitors are often the most expensive on the market, so if you see one on sale, it’s worth checking it out.
In terms of design, you’ll see that this has a 1800R curved panel. Now there’s some debate as to the best curvature for a monitor, with many leaning towards 1000R, however 1800R can help reduce eye-strain even more, as it means you can sit further away from the screen itself. For gaming specifically, the curvature can keep you focused on what’s going on and give you greater sense of immersion that you just can’t get with flat screens.
Other standout features here are its matte display, to prevent reflection from other light sources, its WQHD resolution, and speedy 175hz refresh rate. Add that to stunning design with tasteful RGB and you’ve got a real winner here.
Alienware 24.5 inch AW2523HF Gaming Monitor – Was $349.99, Now $259.99
Alienware 24.5 inch AW2523HF Gaming Monitor
Key Specs and Features
- Screen Size: 24.5 Inches
- Resolution: Full HD (1080p) 1920 x 1080
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9
- Screen Surface: Glossy
- Refresh Rate: 360hz
- Adaptive Sync: AMD FreeSync Premium
Now this monitor is a completely different type of beast to the previous. This is a great option for more competitive gamers, especially those who are playing first-person shooters. First off, at 24-inches this is a very small monitor, but this can actually give you an advantage when playing competitively, as it makes movement on your peripherals a little easier to spot.
Now as for the refresh rate and response time, they’re both way up there with the best. 360hz may be overkill for some games or even unreachable if your GPU isn’t up to the task, but it’s good to have the option especially if you’re playing competitively. The response time is 0.5ms GTG, which is faster than average for sure, and should ensure that the screen can keep up with higher frames per second gameplay and still result in smooth visuals.
There’s even a bit of clever design here with its base. You’ll notice that it takes up hardly any room, which is ideal for gamers who need as much space as possible for their peripherals, or simply have less room to work with.
All in all, this is a cracking monitor for anyone who’s looking to climb the leader boards and wants something that looks pro too.
