The Alienware AW3423DWF has perennially been one of our favorite gaming monitors, and for good reason. The monitor originally had a suggested retail price of over $1,000, but this price has steadily decreased since its introduction three years ago. When we last visited the monitor just over a month ago in late August, it was selling for $549. However, for Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, the price is even lower at just $521.99.

The AW3423DWF, which we rated 5 out of 5 stars, features a 34-inch Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) panel with a 3440 x 1440 resolution and an 1800R curve. The refresh isn't as high as some of the newer panels on the market, but it's still quite respectable at 165 Hz, and is further enhanced by the low 0.1ms response time. AMD FreeSync Premium Pro is supported, and the monitor is also compatible with Nvidia G-Sync.

The monitor offers support for low-framerate compensation (LFC), covers 99.3 percent of DCI-P3 and 140 percent of sRGB, and reaches a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits (peak HDR). Typical brightness in SDR content is more sedate, with an as-tested 253 nits.

You won't be disappointed regarding ports, as there are two DisplayPort 1.4 ports and one HDMI 2.0 port. Alienware also includes a USB 3.2 hub with four downstream ports. You won't find speakers on the AW3423DWF, but it does have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
