Alienware shows off new curved 34-inch monitor with QD-OLED panel

Dell has launched a cheaper variant of the Alienware AW3926QW 5K monitor. It is called the Alienware AW3426DW, and it is essentially a refreshed version of the Alienware AW3425DW launched last year. Notable upgrades include increased peak brightness, an anti-reflective coating and a higher refresh rate.

The Alienware AW3426DW gaming monitor uses a 34-inch 10-bit QD-OLED panel with a resolution of 3,440 x 1,440 (21:9 aspect ratio), 1800R curvature, up to 280 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1300 nits with HDR (3% APL), 0.03 ms grey-to-grey response time and 99% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour gamut. It is compatible with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Nvidia G-Sync, VESA AdaptiveSync, VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 and  Dolby Vision. 

For I/O, you get two HDMI 2.1 ports that can actually drive the monitor at its full advertised resolution/refresh rate, a DP 1.3 port, a USB-A port, a USB-B port and a USB-C port. The USB ports are all rated at 5 Gbps, and the USB-C port can charge peripherals at up to 15 Watts. Some bells and whistles found in higher-end monitors, such as a KVM switch, are notably absent.

Dell offers a three-year warranty for the Alienware AW3926QW’s OLED panel that explicitly covers burn-in. The stand has a dedicated channel for cable management. The monitor launches in July 2026, and its price will be revealed as that time period approaches.
