The Alienware 34-inch QD-OLED curved gaming monitor is back down to $699.99 at Amazon, a $100 discount off its usual price of $799.99. The deal is dated as of Sept. 19, and it marks a chance to upgrade without spending full price on a brand-new model.
The Monitor at a Glance
The AW3425DW carries a 34-inch curved OLED panel with a 1800R shape, which means the screen bends sharply toward the viewer. That curve takes some getting used to, but the result is a wraparound effect that makes games feel more present. The panel supports a 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time, so fast action stays smooth.
The monitor also comes with AlienVision, a built-in aiming point editor that lets players mark targets directly on screen. The stand adjusts height, tilts and swivels, giving viewers room to find the right position. Peak brightness reaches 1,000 nits, enough to handle HDR content without losing detail.
What the Discount Covers
At $699.99, the monitor drops to about 13% off its list price. That reduction is modest, but it still cuts the cost of a high-end setup by a hundred dollars. The deal applies to the AW3425DW model specifically, so shoppers should check the product page to confirm they are looking at the right item.
The discount removes the hesitation between paying full price and waiting for a newer model to arrive.
Why This Model Still Matters
This monitor is technically over a year old, but the design remains striking. The curved OLED panel is a standout feature, and the combination of a 240Hz refresh rate and a 0.03ms response time gives it real performance credentials. The certifications — G-Sync and FreeSync Premium Pro — are included.
The USB hub adds practical value too. A built-in hub means fewer cables cluttering the desk, and it gives players a quick way to connect accessories without reaching for a separate port.

What to Consider Before Buying
Before committing, buyers should consider a few questions:
- Does the curved design fit your viewing habits?
- Can you tolerate the learning period the curve requires?
- Is 240Hz refresh rate necessary for the games you play?
The monitor is a solid pick with a proven design, even if it is not the newest model on the market. The $100 discount makes the decision easier, especially for those who have been waiting for a reason to pull the trigger.
The deal is dated as of Sept. 19, and the price is set at $699.99. For anyone in the market for a curved OLED gaming display, this weekend offers a reason to look again at a model that has been on the market for over a year.
