In addition to launching the world’s first 39in 5K OLED gaming monitor, Alienware has a new 34in offering in the works, the AW3426DW. This display packs all the latest goodies you’d expect from a modern QD-OLED, and might be a touch more affordable to boot.
Standing the Alienware booth at Computex 2026, we were able to appreciate the AW3426DW’s splendid screen in the flesh while mucking around in 007 First Light. The 21:9 aspect ratio and 1800R curve really sings in games with expansive environments like this, enhancing immersion while looking pleasantly sharp running at a UWQHD (3440×1440 resolution).
Sporting a Penta Tandem QD-OLED panel, complete with RGB stripe subpixels, this monitor nets better brightness efficiency than earlier models while also eliminating text fringing. There’s enough nits here to net the AW3426DW True Black 500 certification, meaning it delivers a proper punchy HDR experience.
The monitor also features Samsung Display’s new anti-reflective coating, which will help reduce glare in addition to providing deeper black levels in the face of bright ambient light. The AW3426DW is also one of the few gaming monitors on the market to support Dolby Vision.
In terms of connectivity, the AW3426DW arrives with a DisplayPort 1.4 port and two HDMI 2.1 inputs, with support for PiP (Picture in Picture) and PbP (Picture by Picture) modes. There’s also several USBs sitting on the underside of the monitor, but sadly no KVM switch.
While the AW3426DW offers up much of the niceties of modern QD-OLED monitors, it doesn’t strive for the highest refresh rate on the market, running at 280Hz rather than 360Hz. Alienware tells us this reduces manufacturing costs, which should hopefully translate into a more palatable asking price.
Unfortunately, Alienware remain tight-lipped on how much we can expect the AW3426DW to retail for. However, we do know that the monitor will hit store shelves around the world sometime in July.
