From the manufacturer
An advantage from every angle
Real speed: New, fast Nano Color IPS technology for gaming allows for a true 2ms response time, not an artificial anti-blurring solution that impacts brightness, adaptive sync or the worlds you’re exploring.
No wash out: Whether you game head on, or at an angle, you'll see all the action clearly with IPS (in plane switching) technology.
True colors: With up to 98% DCI-P3 color coverage, you have a wide array of colors in your arsenal.
A legend rises: In a return to form, Alienware has introduced the Legend Industrial Design. It is a new, bolder, sculpted, universal, minimal and iconic expression of the Alienware brand. It’s also engineered for cable management, with quick-access ports on the underside and a cable pass-through in the stand. Plus, the height adjustable tilt and swivel abilities mean you’re always positioned to game at your best.
Get lost in the game
The full array: With new IPS Nano Color technology, you experience colors as they were designed to be by the content creators with 98% DCI-P3 color coverage, which is a professional color gamut that has greater range than sRGB.
In a flash: A true 2ms gray-to-gray response time with Overdrive and the 120Hz refresh rate enables fast, responsive gameplay with no artificial tricks needed. The 120Hz refresh rate keeps up with the action, allowing you to experience every moment of the world you’re gaming in.
Ready to roll: NVIDIA G-SYNC technology displays full frames only when the monitor is ready to display them. This means your screen frames stay in sync with your NVIDIA graphics card, so you can say goodbye to distortions—like tearing and artifacts—and get used to smooth, vibrant images.
See everything: Completely immerse yourself with a sweeping, 1900R curved display that takes you deeper into the game and a 21:9 aspect ratio that makes every vantage point epic. The curved screen maximizes your field of vision, reducing eye movement, so you can stay comfortably focused on the game longer.
Get real: A 3440 X 1440 WQHD resolution display delivers sharp, crystal-clear graphics with 4.9 million pixels—1.79 times more detail than a WFHD display. So you’ll see every blade of grass, every glint of steel, every drop of sweat more vividly, intensely and richly than ever before.
Custom lighting with AlienFX
Enhance your gaming experience with AlienFX—a fully customisable lighting system designed to bring you closer to the worlds you play in, with dynamic lighting effects tied directly to the in-game action and full RGB values. Four independent customisable lighting zones on the monitor combined with other AlienFX enabled devices allows you to personalize your entire battle station to match your style. Create and download unique themes effortlessly for over 145 different games.

The style, picture quality and refresh rate are amazing.
Bit pricey for the specs, but cannot fault quality or design.
Honestly, I have all good things to say but 1 bad thing. The pixel density is amazing, played games and it was beautiful. Can have multiple tabs open optimising work flow, huge time save. But the monitor just broke only on day 2. The RBG lighting on the monitor and stand returned to factory settings so it’s most probably a hardware fault. I actually loved it while it lasted.
Regarding Customer Service and the Warranty. The very polite and helpful CS person told me that the broken Joystick on the back of the Monitor is not covered by the Warranty. This is used to navigate through the Menu and has become inoperable. So the the Monitor is set up and works but it is now impossible to alter Settings. We've checked with a Local Repair Shop and they will see if it can be replaced/repaired.
We'll keep you Posted regarding this. We are very annoyed that this Fault is not covered by Dell's Warranty !
Short answer ! This repair is not possible. So much for Dell's Warranty !
I switched to this monitor after buying an MSI mpg341cqr 144hz ultrawide and being so disappointed with it, the picture quality on this monitor is pristine, the colour is super strong, accurate and punchy, the gsync works as it should, the pixel response times are excellent.
I can only advise not bothering with VA panels at or around this price regardless of "specs", they have the same problems as any VA panel which is the ghosting and smearing, never actually feeling like 144hz but a monitor like this with an IPS panel is excellent.
Im stunned.

Quality Assurance
Your mileage may vary but i've gotten this monitor twice. The first time it arrived with a strange orange colour shift where everything yellow seemed reddish in colour, the bottom of the screen where the alienware logo is had a weird plastic film sticking out for whatever reason. It felt refurbished or repurposed. And finally the monitor had a dead pixel towards the centre of the screen. Roughly two that were together.
Fast forward to a month for my replacement. Monitor arrived again, heavy damage to the box itself. Some minor scuffs to the stand were discovered when unboxing with black marks. Could clean it off with a damp cloth fairly easily.
No weird colour shift and no other visible damage and finally no weird plastic lip sticking out at the bottom of the monitor. (You wouldnt pay £999 for a monitor with something like that so i was genuinely surprised that happened) Finally i set it up and use a high quality displayport cable that i went out of my way to buy for this monitor to make sure there are no issues.
Another dead pixel towards the centre of the screen again. either the quality assurance is extremely poor or the panels Dell are using are intentionally poor quality.
Images will be posted of the replacement monitor ive gotten. I deleted images of the previous monitor because i thought it may be a one off issue. Im going to try one last time to see if i was just extremely unlucky. I got a refund and the monitor is now on sale for a lower price. If the 3rd monitor comes with no defects i will update the review to clarify this. Be aware there is very little information about dead pixels on the internet for this monitor and could just be my luck.
Be aware the dead pixel may be difficult to see due to amazon's image compression when uploaded.

Buenísimo vendedor. (Recomendado).
Juego y trabajo con el a la perfección. (Esta semana he disfrutado con el DOOM Eternal y con el A.C. Valhalla con impresionantes vistas panorámicas). (Las hojas de cálculo son más cómodas ahora para trabajar). Estéticamente es perfecto.
Y para ocio con las series o cine una pasada.

Unica critica a Warehouse Amazon è di aver ridotto il prezzo del monitor di ben 160 € 2 giorni dopo aver spedito il mio; mi son sentito preso in giro tanto da meditare di restituire il monitor. Alla fine ho deciso di tenermelo dato che avevo tra le mani un buon pannello e non avevo voglia di rituffarmi nella "lotteria" degli IPS.
Dal punto di vista tecnico niente da segnalare, ottimo monitor, eccellente qualità costruttiva, tra i migliori IPS reperibili in questo momento (non certo però a prezzo pieno!).
In game i 21:9 sono uno spettacolo.
Contraste de fou g sync en 120hz !
Écran sobre propre ultra bien emballé et bien protégé.
Seul léger défaut n’espérez pas lovercloké avec le pannel nvdia il prend 0 hertz.
Mise a par ça c’est une bombe !
Je le recommande vivement de loin le meilleur des 34p 1440p 120hz gsync.
(Les écrans ips surtout incurvé ont forcément des fuites de lumière, ne soyez pas étonné si vous en avez.)
Petit bémol pour l'application qui contrôle le rgb. Vous pouvez le désinstaller après avoir réglé la couleur qui vous convient, mais ne le faites pas si vous voulez le réinstaller plus tard sous peine de ne plus pouvoir détecter l'écran...
