The 39-inch Alienware AW3926QW, an ultrawide OLED gaming monitor with a 5120x2160 resolution, has received a substantial price reduction. Available for AU$1,449.99 during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, this represents a notable discount from its usual AU$1,999 retail price.
This monitor boasts a DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification, offering vibrant contrast with deep blacks. It supports a maximum refresh rate of 330Hz, though this is achieved at a lower 2560x1080 resolution; the full 5K2K resolution operates at 165Hz. The display also features RGB-stripe subpixels, designed to mitigate common OLED issues such as text blurring.
To take advantage of the discounted price, customers must be Amazon Prime members. A free trial of the service can be activated to secure the AU$1,449.99 price point and free shipping.
Alienware is reportedly working on a firmware update to address a reported issue with the AW3926QW where vignetting can occur around the edges during gameplay. This characteristic has been attributed to its Convex Power Control technology. While the fix is forthcoming, early adopters may need to contend with this for a period. Despite this drawback, the monitor was met with generally positive reception, with a previous review highlighting its impressive display quality and immersive ultrawide experience.
