Typical brightness will only be 300 nits, according to the display\u2019s specs shared with IGN. For those who can apparently tell the difference (I\u2019m proud of you. I sure can\u2019t): it peaks at a 330Hz refresh rate at 1080p or 165Hz at full resolution. In other words, specs-wise, this display has a number of legs up over the MSI MPG 491CQPX QD-OLED, <a data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/best-curved-monitor\"><u>IGN\u2019s favorite super ultrawide at the moment<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><output data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Dell Alienware 39-inch OLED with RGB Stripe AW3926QW<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\">The AW3926QW will also have a built-in KVM switch for controlling multiple connected computers with a single mouse and keyboard pair. There will be a few ports on the back: one DisplayPort 2.1; two HDMI 2.1 (one with eARC support); a 10Gbps upstream USB-C port with 90W power output, along with a 5Gbps USB-B upstream port and a 5Gbps USB-A downstream port. Another 5Gbps USB-A port and 5Gbps USB-C port will sit on the underside, straddling a 3.5mm headphone jack.<\/p>\n<p><output data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Alienware 34-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor AW3426DW<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\">In addition to its fancy new OLED ultrawide, Alienware also announced the AW3426DW, a 34-inch, 280Hz QD-OLED, 3,440&#215;1,440 resolution gaming display. It\u2019s the follow-up to the AW3425DW from last year (which is already IGN\u2019s <a data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/best-gaming-monitor\"><u>favorite curved gaming monitor<\/u><\/a>), and it bumps up a number of specs. Peak brightness will be 1,300 instead of 1,000 nits; refresh rate hops to 280Hz from 240Hz; and its HDR TrueBlack rating is now 500 instead of 400. Its curve will also be tighter, at 1500R versus the current one\u2019s 1800R. Alienware didn\u2019t announce its pricing (the previous model was $800), but says the display will be available in July.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\">Alienware did share pricing for two other new displays: a $399.99 34-inch model (AW3426DWM) and a $299.99 32-inch one (AW3226DM). They\u2019ll both offer a 240Hz refresh rate and VA panels, with a respective 3,440&#215;1,440 resolutiion and 2,560&#215;1,440 resolution. Both will be out in July, as well.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\"><em>Wes is a freelance writer (Freelance Wes, they call him) who has covered technology, gaming, and entertainment steadily since 2020 at Gizmodo, Tom&#8217;s Hardware, Hardcore Gamer, and most recently, The Verge.
