Alienware 5K Monitor

I'd been waiting for a 5K version of this aspect ratio monitor for years. It does not disappoint.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I was thinking of getting myself an Ultra wide gaming monitor but always thought the 49" G9 was too big that's when Samsung released this with the same panel as in the Alienware OLED monitor that is getting rave reviews. The difference between this and the Alienware monitor is that this one comes with Samsung OS and is easy to connect to my other Samsung ecosystem products. This monitor is perfect to run Dex on or even can be used as a TV. The OLED panel is brilliant and the movies and games pop on it.

This arm is amazing! I purchased two different ones before this to support my new Alienware OLED monitor. Those arms could not support the weight even on the highest tension. This arm at half tension easily supports the weight. You can tell this one is made with a higher quality than any off brand product.

Comparing this to the Alienware AW3225QF (which I tested for 3 weeks before getting this monitor), I find the colors are effectively the same after you find the right settings that appeal to you. I initially had some text clarity issues, but this was solved by running the monitor at 240Hz. For whatever reason, a bunch of features are turned off by default, so you need to turn them on (e.g. OLEDcare, VRR, CEC). Another thing to keep in mind - when you switch to full-screen and back, the monitor will black out for a few seconds. This is normal and a function of Nvidia drivers, not the monitor. Another caveat, as this is OLED, you cannot calibrate this with standard monitor calibration gear (think SpyderX). After turning everything on and playing with all the presets, I was able to find the ones I liked for different media. The monitor is amazing. Great color, perfect blacks, I almost think it's blacker than my black monitor bezels... 240Hz is buttery.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 34” G5 Odyssey Gaming Monitor replaced my Alienware 29 inch monitor, and I'm so glad that I did. The 34" G5 Odyssey has Deeper blacks and crisper picture than my old Alienware 25 gaming monitor. My games have never looked so good as on the 34"G5.

Absolutely stunning monitor, coming from an Alienware ultra wide 3440 to 4k QD-Oled. What a difference

Excellent Monitor. I upgraded from an Alienware 240hz 1080p to this one. Got recommended by Hardware Unbox on YouTube. This is my first 1440p monitor. Resolution is crisp. no dead pixels. and gotta love that IPS color quality. Great so far. Would recommend.

I love this monitor, it is beautiful. I am coming from the LG 5k Ultrafine and this monitor is even better! No complaints.

excellent monitor for productivity, running 5K @75hz on DP. port options are excellent.

Yeah, yeah ... $5K for a monitor with no stand. We've all heard it. Well, get over it. If you want a decent monitor with all the bells and whistles (a swivel stand, tons of ports, a webcam, speakers, etc), there are plenty of other options out there for you at a fifth of the cost. I've been using the LG 4K monitor for a few years now and decided to upgrade to the newer 5K version. At $1,200 or so, that thing was not inexpensive, but it sure was disappointing. As many others have experienced, out of the box it had a very red / yellow tint to it that was nearly impossible to correct. After returning it, I elected to step up to the Apple Display and all I can say is that it is absolutely amazing. All the rumors are true - slight vignetting due to its size and proximity to your face on your desk; no added features like exterior controls, webcam, speakers, tons of misc ports; and it won't easily work with your PC ... but, the image is stunning and amazing. I use it for videography editing work and it is unreal. Mind blowing good. I do not regret the purchase whatsoever. Apple screams quality and this monitor does not disappoint. I'd have to say that a good portion of the high cost had to go into the packaging like all Apple products. No joke, the box weighs as much as or more than the monitor itself. A waste? Maybe to some. But for me ... given that this was shipped across the country from B&H, I appreciate legitimate packaging as we all know how terrible shipping companies can be. The monitor arrived in perfect condition and I'll be using the legitimate box for future moves and relocations. This is not a display that you wrap in a blanket and throw in the back of your car. Bottom line ... it you have the money, it's the best prosumer display on the market.
