These Gaming curved screens are amazing
I bought this Alienware 34-inch curved gaming monitor as a gift for my boyfriend, who is a pretty serious gamer, and it completely exceeded both of our expectations.The first thing he noticed was how immersive the curved ultrawide screen feels. It really pulls you into the game, especially for open-world and first-person shooters. The picture quality is stunning—crisp details, vibrant colors, and deep contrast that make everything look incredibly realistic. He immediately commented on how much smoother gameplay felt too, thanks to the high refresh rate and fast response time.Setup was straightforward, and the build quality feels very premium and sturdy, which is exactly what you’d expect from Alienware. The design also looks sleek on his desk with the subtle gaming aesthetic—not over-the-top, but still really cool.One of the biggest upgrades for him was the extra screen space. He can game, stream, and multitask all on one monitor without feeling cramped, which has made a huge difference compared to his old setup.Overall, this was one of the best gifts I’ve gotten him. If you’re shopping for someone who loves gaming, this monitor is absolutely worth it. It feels like a true upgrade and something they’ll use and appreciate every single day.

Great monitor
I upgraded from a 31.5″ 165hz ASUS Tuff 1440p VA panel monitor, decided I’d use the ASUS monitors as my side displays…The OLED is nice and obviously noticeable, especially in certain scenes like media when going on Netflix or Amazon or w/e, it does register as 10-bit in my Nvidia control panel, is 240hz, is amazing for gaming for sure.. I try to turn it off whenever I’m not at my computer, which isn’t often because of apparent possibility of “burn in”, but I havent noticed any burn in. I wish I played more games because the immersive UW is cool, but for coding and such, I think I prefer just to have more displays rather than trying to split screen on a single monitor. Screen refresh is barely noticeable, I only notice it when I’m coding and it’s not irritating in any way, infact, I almost wish it was a little more intrusive to really refresh all pixels more and preserve the monitors life longer.Ive seen some people complain about the glossy screen that gets marks on it easily, but tbh I think that’s one of the cooler features of this monitor, it’s visible at all angles and when it’s off is shines and looks real sharp. I noticed my ASUS monitor isn’t anywhere near as good at viewing the images at a different angle. It comes with a micro-fiber cloth which does erase any smudges 100% also.However, I do have mixed feelings. I was originally looking for 4k OLED, which are a couple hundred bucks more but for a cheaper brand, and they don’t come in ultra wide. I can’t say for certain if I woulda liked the 4k monitor more or this one… I’m a poor guy, so $700 on a monitor is a lot.Do I have any second thoughts? Well.. I’ve thought about it, and decided it was worth the money and I’m not going to return it to see if I like the 4k monitors more. Also having the Alienware brand as my main monitor does feel like a kind of flex. I just hope I start playing more games and really let this bad boy shine for it’s use purpose.I did hear 4k makes text look a lot clearer, which might be better for coding but I can’t say. After watching 1000 youtube videos, it did seem like most consensus was 1440p is the God Mode for monitors so.. Idk.

Ive had this for about a month and a half at this point and it’s been superb. I was worried about a few different things going in, the brightness, going down in ppi from 28″ 4k to 34″ UW at 1440p. If it wasn’t UW but had the same height this would be about the size of a 27″ monitor, so I lost just a bit of vertical size moving to this one. Well none of these things turned out to be an issue. What I gained has far outweighed any loss. 4k to 1440p was not nearly as much of a big deal as I was worried about. 1440p is still a very sharp looking picture and actually boosted my fps in games because of less pixels to push each frame (even with the UW format). Brightness, I turn it down because it’s too much when I’m in windows. In gaming it’s perfect. I have a pretty well lit room with a light on the ceiling behind me and a room further behind with the light on there too. I don’t see any glare when I’m using the monitor. Maybe at night if I turn the light off but the other rooms light is on, I can notice that I want that light off as well. But way less of a worry than expected for glare, pretty much a non issue. The size feels huge, so much screen in front of me, I forget I had a slightly taller screen before because this one feels way larger overall. And for watching movies, a lot of them, once black bars are removed, fit 21:9 perfectly, so I’m actually getting a MUCH larger picture than before when watching most movies. Add HDR in there and a slightly downsized 4k (3440 wide instead of 3840) and movies look outstanding on this screen. As for the HDR, being an OLED panel you can expect it to be good and it really is. It’s hard to describe but things just look more real. SDR content will look very flat and washed out once you get used to the HDR on here. Refresh rate at 240hz is obviously incredible but since I like good graphics I’m not necessarily hitting that speed too often. If you’re considering this monitor, I can’t think of a reason to not go for it. It’s everything I hoped for and more.

Update at the bottom:The quality of the image is Amazing! However I noticed one thing…Its literally my second day since I got this monitor, 22/03/2026, and I noticed something on the screen… I can’t see when I’m using and it’s on however when I turn it off I can clearly see this kind of bubble under the screen. I tried cleaning but doesn’t come off. It doesn’t interfere with my gameplay or while I’m using but it’s there. I don’t think the QD – oled burned, it’s kind of a bubble if you ask me. Still really good quality for image but because of this I’m not sure what it is going to happen in the future. If gets worse I’ll update.Update 02, april, 2026It was only some liquid that was on the screen, by cleaning with alcohol 70% it turned perfect. The screen is perfect, no problems at all and the image quality is stunning. Recommend buying.

Looks really nice. Deep blacks, vibrant colours and really rich, crisp details. High refresh rate & tons of screen real estate for me.I get excited every time i get back to my desk!
