An immersive gaming monitor to put you inside your favorite games

The wide field of view of a 21:9 aspect ratio lets you see much more of your gaming environment. Traditional 16:9 monitors cut off a portion of your periphery, while a 21:9 monitor provides a wider field of view. This is particularly beneficial for racing simulations, flight simulators, and open-world games, as it helps provide better situational awareness when exploring environments.

A resolution of 3440 by 1440 provides 34% more pixels horizontally than a standard 1440p monitor. This allows for more detailed images, clearer images of items far away from the camera, and the ability to have multiple screens open side by side. The increased width can benefit many applications, whether you’re gaming or doing work like video editing or using Excel. Anyone who has ever had to look back and forth between two screens will understand how useful having the extra space can be. However, this extra space comes without having a bezel separating your view of the two screens.

At 180Hz, the display updates the image three times faster than a standard office monitor. As a result, fast panning motion stays clear and defined rather than smeared, and the Extreme mode 1ms GtG response time helps prevent ghosting from trails left behind by moving objects on the screen.

VA panels are often praised for their high contrast ratios, and 3000:1 is significantly higher than what a typical IPS display can produce. In dark scenes, these displays maintain detail rather than washing out into grays, letting you spot enemies hiding in shadows before they spot you. DisplayHDR 400 certification and 95% DCI-P3 color coverage round out the color side, ensuring HDR content appears as originally designed by developers.

In addition to PC connectivity options, console mode supports PS5 and Xbox via HDMI. With two HDMI 2.1 ports, you can connect both consoles at the same time as a PC using DisplayPort. Switching between devices requires no rear cable access, since you can select the active input from the monitor’s menu. At $290, down from $350, the Alienware 34 Curved Gaming Monitor includes a hardware-based Low Blue Light Solution to reduce eye fatigue without altering colors.
