Alienware's fantastic ultrawide OLED monitor hits a new low price | PCWorld

Dell subsidiary Alienware was one of the first to market OLED monitors for gamers, and it’s remained popular as those models get frequently discounted — never deeper than today, though.

If you sign up for Dell’s rewards program, you can this 34-inch Alienware ultrawide OLED gaming monitor for as little as $612. That’s nearly half off the original price and definitely worth jumping on.

You can read our review of the Alienware AW3423DWF here, where it earned a stunning 4.5-out-of-5-star rating and our PCWorld Editors’ Choice award. But to summarize, the display is a fantastic OLED upgrade for pretty much any gaming desktop, only slightly let down by a lack of USB-C for easy laptop connections. Its ultrawide 3440×1440 resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, and brilliant colors are perfect for PC gamers.

Launched with a price of $1,100, we’ve seen this monitor dip as low as $700 before. And even at its new “regular” price of $900, it’s a good deal. But a poster on the SlickDeals forum noticed an unbeatable combo of discounts: Not only is the monitor on sale for $679.99 at Dell’s online store, but you can also sign up for Dell’s customer rewards program to grab an extra 10 percent off, bringing the final price down to $612.

Once you’re on the Dell rewards page, click Benefits in the middle, then “Join for free. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see a 10 percent off option for Alienware monitors. Click Claim Offer and you’ll be given a unique discount code that’s good for one week. Now go back to the AW3423DWF product listing, add it to your cart, and apply the code at checkout. You should see the final price.

With tax and free shipping to my house in Pennsylvania, my price ended at $648.71. Not quite the cheapest OLED ultrawide monitor we’ve ever seen, but it’s pretty darn close! (Hell, I spent $600 on the ultrawide IPS monitor I’m using right now, and it was bought used about four years ago. This is a way better deal than that.)

Dell’s discounts tend to come and go on a whim, but I’m betting this one will be available for at least a few more days — if stock holds. (You can use the same trick for 10 percent off any Alienware monitor, like this alternate ultrawide with G-Sync or the much pricier 32-inch 4K version.)
