Alienware drops an insane Quantum Dot OLED gaming monitor at CES

Notwithstanding good your gaming monitor is, Alienware just one-upped information technology at CES 2022. The AW3423DW has a predictably irksome name, but the product itself is far from it. For this new goliath of gaming displays is the offset Quantum Dot OLED monitor to be introduced.

Wowzers.

Just what does all of that actually hateful? Well, quite a lot. And while there's no pricing to talk over at this time alee of a planned launch beginning in March, don't expect information technology to be particularly affordable, either.

And then, why Quantum Dot, then? This snippet from Alienware gives a better summary than I ever could.

"Breakthrough Dot Display Engineering science enables a slim panel blueprint and delivers a superior color performance with a higher peak luminance and greater colour gamut range vs WOLED (White OLED) by taking the impressive qualities of OLED (such as true blacks & space contrast ratio) and enhances colour performance by straight converting blueish light into the principal colors of red and greenish through a Breakthrough Dot pixel layer. This results in college color uniformity, wider color coverage, and increased effulgence."

The result is a 34-inch ultrawide monitor with a 1800R bend and 21:nine aspect ratio. And since this is a gaming display, that OLED panel comes paired with gamer-friendly specs. Over DisplayPort, you can push a 3440 x 1440 resolution at 175Hz, while over HDMI the same resolution drops the refresh rate to a still respectable 100Hz.

Information technology'southward no glossy OLED display either with an anti-cogitating coating meaning you're going to exist able to focus on your games and not your ain reflection. And for silky smooth, tear-free action, yous get NVIDIA G-Sync Ultimate.

With an OLED monitor such as this, though, color is obviously important. And not only for gaming, after all, this is an ultrawide OLED panel, so Alienware has thought of content creators as well. It supports 99.3% DCI-P3, HDR with thousand nits peak brightness, and the choice to switch between color spaces at your discretion.

Alienware has included what it calls "Creator Way" which can be accessed in the monitor settings with the flexibility to switch between the sRGB and DCI-P3 colour spaces with full gamma adjustment as yous require.

It'south a pretty mouthwatering monitor, and nosotros're looking frontwards to seeing the real deal in action. China will be first to see it in early March, followed past North America later in the month and the EMEA region should exist able to get one from early April.

Where are all the guns in Dying Light 2?

It'south by pattern, sure, but at that place's a distinct lack of firearms in Dying Low-cal 2. For better or worse, modernistic medieval Villedor is a identify to build your own weapons. But what happened to the guns and ammo and might it always make a improvement?
