The new Dell Alienware AW3425DW arrives with a clear mission: improve on one of the most popular ultrawide gaming monitors of the last few years without reinventing the wheel. For a long time, the AW3423DW and its lower-cost sibling, the AW3423DWF, have been standout picks – offering premium performance at a price many gamers could justify. Case in point, the 25DW is the successor to the gaming monitor I've personally been using for the last three years.

We have gathered data across 10 countries to see how global pricing stacks up.)Graphics card prices are slowly improving. Things still aren't great, but three months ago, when we last looked at GPU cost per frame, we found that the vast majority of models weren't even in stock or available to purchase.

It's time for another update on OLED monitor burn-in. As you likely know, we've been aggressively burning in our 4K OLED monitor for 15 months now, so we're going to take a look and see how the display is holding up. Hopefully, there hasn't been too much degradation since the last time we checked in three months ago – we really do want this monitor to last a decent amount of time. As with the last few updates, there have been no changes in how we've been using our MSI MPG 321URX QD-OLED.

Not long ago, high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors were considered a luxury. But fast-forward to 2025, and that dream display for fast-paced PC gaming has become the new normal. Prices have dropped, performance has surged, and for most PC gamers, 1440p now hits the sweet spot between value and performance. Granted, the cost of new mid-range GPUs make the full equation hard to swallow, but most mainstream graphics cards can now handle 1440p gaming with ease. Games are optimized for it.

I'm pretty sure most gaming hardware reviewers play games. Getting into this business was all about a passion for PC gaming. Personally I play a ton of games each year, time permitting. Most of the big single player releases. Currently enjoying Hitman 3

Here's my solution to beat scalpers A queue system implemented by manufacturers that allows loyal customers to go first. The longer you've been a user, and the more active you are in using the product, the better chance you have of buying. Nvidia could implement this in GFE

John Carmack has proposed GPU and console auctions to beat scalpers. This could temporarily drive up the price of PS5s, RTX 3080s, and Xbox Series X consoles, but might eventually cut out scalpers. Details here: https://t.co/NANU5gdT4z https://t.co/3BWdPZTvaW
