ALL NEW TECHNOLOGIES come with a learning curve. With the cataclysmically desirable Alienware 32 AW3225QF, we’re taking some lessons about OLED as a display solution for PC gaming. Yes, this is another of the brave new 4K monitors running a Samsung QD-OLED panel.
We’ve cast our eyes across several of these now, and the wow factor remains. But with familiarity comes a slightly more grounded sense of what these monitors offer gamers. However, let’s kick off with the basic speeds and feeds. Again, we’re talking 32 inches of 4K QD-OLED glory. Response is rated at 0.03 ms, peak HDR brightness at 1,000 nits, full screen brightness at 250 nits, and color coverage comes in at 99 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 gamut. The subpixel structure also remains the same. In other words, it’s still not a conventional RGB stripe, but a triangular RGB arrangement.
