You like monitors. You like gaming monitors. You really like OLED gaming monitors. (Don’t lie to me, I’ve got the click counts to prove it!) And you like good deals on OLED gaming monitors best of all. So I’ve got a treat for you today: Dell’s newest, spiffiest OLED gaming monitor, an eye-popping 32-inch 4K beast, for just $799.99. That’s $400 off the sticker price.
There’s just one catch to this deal: it’s a refurb. And frankly since this Alienware-branded monster was just released back in January (to an Editor’s Choice review from our monitor expert Matt Smith, no less!), that’s still a pretty darn good deal. Also note that this is a 32-inch, 4K OLED monitor with a 16:9 aspect ratio. It’s not to be confused with the very similar Alienware 34-inch ultrawide OLED, 21:9 and lower resolution, which also sells for $800 on a regular basis.
In addition to a subtle curve and that massive 3840×2160 resolution, the AW3225QF has a super-fast 240Hz refresh rate, Nvidia G-Sync capability, DolbyVision, and a bunch of other stuff that basically means it looks freakin’ awesome. Ports include DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.1, a second HDMI port with eARC for fancy stuff with sound bars, and USB-C video with 90 watts of charging for laptops, and three standard USB 3.2 for plugging in extra gadgets. Yes, it has VESA mounts for monitor arms and a little RGB flair ’round back.
Dell has a good reputation with refurbished devices, and these are usually returns with very little use on them. But it does come with only a 90-day warranty, which might be an understandable deal-breaker for a brand new monitor. Also note that as this is a very popular monitor at a big discount, so stock may run out quickly — we called it “the 4K OLED dream monitor you’ve been waiting for,” after all.
