Apart from the subpixel arrangement, the monitor also uses a tandem RGB panel with four RGB layers (two blue, one green and one red).<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"_base_1xuyu_1 _tiktok_1xuyu_26\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed\/v2\/7647159099095928082?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc&amp;web_id=7647159564244354580\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.5625\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The result is a peak brightness of up to 1,300 nits. The monitor is also VESA DisplayHDR True Black 500 and Dolby Vision certified, has a 1500R curve, and features dual mode; 5K@165Hz or FHD@330Hz. As for connectivity, the monitor comes with DP 2.1 (UHBR20), HDMI 2.1 FRL with eARC, and a USB-C port capable of 90W PD. Dell has also thrown in a KVM switch, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Dell claims the AW3926QW as a first, particularly the first 5K OLED with an RGB stripe arrangement. And while that may be true, it still has to compete with a slew of other 5K gaming monitors out there, as that product category grows larger by the year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">LG\u2019s UltraGear GX9 (read our review of that here) is one competitor which comes to mind, and despite the lack of the increasingly popular RGB subpixel layout, it\u2019s certainly larger. The ROG Strix 5K XG27JCG (or its upcoming successor, the XG27JCEG) is another panel of the same resolution, but it\u2019s smaller and uses an IPS panel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">As we noted in our UltraGear GX9 review, the hardware required for pushing the pixels, and at that refresh rate, means that the 5K class of monitors as a whole may not be for every gamer just yet. But such a high resolution, once consigned to the creative class with the Apple Studio Display, Samsung ViewFinity and the Dell 5K UltraSharp, has pretty much trickled to gaming use cases as well, so expect more of these monitors to crop up from gaming brands.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"34-inch-alienware-monitors\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">34-inch Alienware monitors<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"_figure_wioo3_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"The Alienware 34 280Hz QD-OLED utilises a five-layer tandem RGB panel, an upgrade over the last generation.\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1200\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/ec802fd0a986206a5003fe9d441f6b5aca810b6d096acb9a90c3447d82608660?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/ec802fd0a986206a5003fe9d441f6b5aca810b6d096acb9a90c3447d82608660?w=530&amp;q=85 530w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/ec802fd0a986206a5003fe9d441f6b5aca810b6d096acb9a90c3447d82608660?w=660&amp;q=85 660w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/ec802fd0a986206a5003fe9d441f6b5aca810b6d096acb9a90c3447d82608660 1200w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/ec802fd0a986206a5003fe9d441f6b5aca810b6d096acb9a90c3447d82608660?w=660&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5789473684210527;contain-intrinsic-size:1200px 760px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_wioo3_158\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_wioo3_165\">The Alienware 34 280Hz QD-OLED utilises a five-layer tandem RGB panel, an upgrade over the last generation.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Dell.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Apart from the 39 5K OLED, Dell has also announced the <b>Alienware 34 280Hz QD-OLED (AW3426DW)<\/b>. It\u2019s the successor to the AW3425DW (claimed by Dell to be the world\u2019s first QD-OLED gaming monitor), and brings a notable modern improvement to the previous generation, namely the use of the increasingly popular RGB stripe layout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">It also increases the number of layers in its tandem RGB panel from four to five \u2013 to be specific, it uses a QD-OLED Penta Tandem panel manufactured by Samsung. The additional RGB layer brings up the peak brightness from 1,000 to 1,300 nits, and the typical brightness from 250 to 300 nits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Theoretically, it should also lead to a reduced likelihood of burn-in, as the use of more light-emitting layers means better power efficiency when pushing brightness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Finally, an anti-reflective coating has also been added to reduce glare, while the refresh rate has been bumped up slightly, from 240Hz to 280Hz.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"_figure_wioo3_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"The Alienware 34 240Hz gaming monitor is no OLED, but Dell means for this model to be the more accessible option.\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4893aa0c1f9520460ec91bb5b9d45cf31f6568f2843ede296224ba72452b20b5?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4893aa0c1f9520460ec91bb5b9d45cf31f6568f2843ede296224ba72452b20b5?w=530&amp;q=85 530w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4893aa0c1f9520460ec91bb5b9d45cf31f6568f2843ede296224ba72452b20b5?w=660&amp;q=85 660w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4893aa0c1f9520460ec91bb5b9d45cf31f6568f2843ede296224ba72452b20b5 1140w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4893aa0c1f9520460ec91bb5b9d45cf31f6568f2843ede296224ba72452b20b5?w=660&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:1140px 760px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_wioo3_158\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_wioo3_165\">The Alienware 34 240Hz gaming monitor is no OLED, but Dell means for this model to be the more accessible option.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Dell.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Rounding out the list of Alienware display announcements is the <b>Alienware 34 240Hz (AW3426DWM)<\/b>. It\u2019s a slightly less premium (or more \u2018accessible\u2019, depending on how you phrase it) monitor of the new lineup, as it trades the OLED for VA panel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Still, it retains the 3440&#215;1440 resolution of its more opulent sibling, and a slightly tighter curve angle of 1500R (the QD-OLED AW3426DW has an 1800R curve).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pricing-and-availability\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Pricing and Availability<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Pricing hasn\u2019t been announced for the three new monitors, but we have heard from sources they could be in the region of S$1,599-$1,799. This has to be taken with a large pinch of salt. That said, we do roughly know when they\u2019ll be shipping in Singapore. The 39 5K OLED will release in late July 2026, while the 34 240Hz and 34 280Hz OLED will release in July and September 2026, respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/pc\/accessories\/dells-alienware-39-inch-5k-ultraware-stripe-tandem-rgb-gaming-monitor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4K isn\u2019t enough anymore, or at least that\u2019s what companies are thinking in regards to their gaming displays.
