Dell's highly anticipated 39-inch 5K monitor, featuring RGB stripe tandem OLED technology, has officially launched under the Alienware brand. The Alienware AW3926QW is now available for purchase at Dell for $1,099.99, with free delivery. A 10% discount is available for verified student accounts.
This new monitor boasts a resolution of 5120 x 2160, resulting in a pixel density of 143 pixels per inch on its 39-inch ultrawide display. This density surpasses that of a 32-inch 4K monitor, which typically offers 138 pixels per inch, promising exceptional text clarity for both gaming and workstation use. To enhance immersion and accommodate the ultrawide aspect ratio, the AW3926QW features a 1500R curve.
The core of the AW3926QW's advanced display technology lies in its RGB stripe tandem OLED panel. Tandem OLED construction stacks multiple OLED layers, enabling significantly higher brightness levels. The AW3926QW specifically achieves a peak brightness of 1,300 nits. Furthermore, this stacked layer design contributes to increased resistance against OLED burn-in. The inclusion of RGB stripe technology further refines this by breaking down colors into vertically aligned red, green, and blue pixels, which helps to reduce color fringing and improve overall text sharpness.
For gaming enthusiasts, the AW3926QW offers a 165Hz refresh rate at 4K resolution, coupled with support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility. OLED panels are inherently known for their rapid response times and perfect black levels, making them well-suited for fast-paced gaming. Connectivity options include DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1 ports, ensuring compatibility with modern graphics cards without the need for adapters.
Alienware is backing the AW3926QW with a 3-year warranty that explicitly covers OLED burn-in, providing additional peace of mind for consumers.
