Last Updated:

This year’s CES 2022 looks like it might be one to remember for display enthusiasts. Alongside a tonne of high-performance 1440p 360Hz gaming monitors, CES also showcased new ultrawide monitors from tech giants Alienware and Samsung.

The former has been labeled as the Alienware AW3423DW – a high-performance refresh of the brand’s popular AW3420DW – that looks set to be the ‘world’s first QD-OLED gaming monitor’.

With plenty of hype surrounding the new ultrawide gaming monitor, we’ll be keeping this page bang up to date with all the latest release dates, prices, specs, and press releases.

Here’s everything we know about the Alienware AW3423DW right now.

Alienware AW3423DW release date: What we know so far

Right now, the Alienware AW3423DW is being listed in China with an initial release date of March 2nd. The North American market will have to wait until March 29th for the new 34 inch ultrawide to hit shelves, with UK consumers left waiting until April 5th.

Whether or not those dates are set in stone is yet to be confirmed. However, initial reports suggest that they are accurate. As always, we’ll wait to see the panels hit shelves before getting our hopes up – especially after the manufacturing issues we’ve encountered over the last one to two years.
