Will has been writing about games and technology since 2001 (a href='https://web.archive.org/web/20010625002243/maxpages.com/cossackspage'age 12/a), but went full-time in 2011 after receiving his MEng in Computer Science. As well as Eurogamer, Will contributes articles to giffgaff and Rock Paper Shotgun.
"It's a little bit hard to work out without knowing the altitude of that dragon...", a 32-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor that combines a 4K resolution with 240Hz refresh rate, impressive HDR and fewer downsides than your typical OLED panel - albeit at an eye-watering £1350 asking price. I noted that while the Asus monitor was a technical tour de force and the best gaming monitor I'd ever tested, it's not necessarily the best value 32-inch QD-OLED.
I've used a fair few curved monitors in the past, but I generally prefer flat panels as I do a fair amount of work in text editors, spreadsheets and other productivity applications where it's nice for straight lines to appear straight. The good news is that the Alienware's 1800R curvature is actually quite mild for a monitor of this size, with each corner perhaps only a few centimetres further forward than it would be on a completely flat monitor.
Underneath, you get a DisplayPort 1.4 port and two HDMI 2.1 ports . Interestingly, the first HDMI port supports eARC to send high-res multi-channel audio to sound systems, one of the few monitors I've seen to include this functionality - and a clever inclusion for a monitor that also supports Dolby Vision. However, there's no 3.5mm headphone jack or built-in speakers, either of which could have been nice for console use.
Thankfully, regular HDR content still looks fantastic on PC and other platforms, so while the Alienware doesn't meaningfully gain anything against its rivals for PC use, watching HDR films and playing HDR games is still demonstrably better than the vast majority of LCD-based alternatives on the market - so that's something.
I didn't face any issues with SDR brightness, which at 250 nits was more than sufficient for my use case, even with largely white content like web pages maximised on the screen. This 32-inch 4K monitor defaults to 150 percent scaling in Windows, but 125 percent or even 100 percent scaling are fine alternatives if you have good eyesight and want more screen real estate.
