Your favorite QD-OLED gaming monitor now has a sibling.

Those of you looking for a new monitor may already be familiar with the almighty AW3423DWF OLED ultrawide. Given its continued success, it is not surprising that Alienware is looking to capitalize on that momentum and add more QD-OLED monitors to its lineup, and it appears that they teased it during the recent TwitchCon 2023 live stream.

According to Wccftech, the first of these monitors is called the AQ322QF, a 32-inch curved 4K QD-OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate and a 3-year burn-in warranty.The AQ322QF features a 240Hz refresh rate, 3 year burn-in warranty, and shares the familiar Alienware black and white aesthetic with its cousins in the 32-inch curved 4K QD-OLED display. We have already seen the 32" 240hz 4k display on an Asus monitor at this year's Gamescom, and it is likely that this is the same panel that was used for this year's event. [Alienware calls this "the world's first 360Hz QD-OLED display." This display is called the AW2725DF, and while the flat panel may be on the small side at 27 inches, Alienware says that the stand was designed so that users can get close to the screen and enjoy the high refresh rate goodness of 1440p. The display also comes with Alienware's three-year burn-in protection.

Full specifications and pricing will be revealed at CES 2024, but for those who want to enjoy the goodness of QD-OLED without having to settle for desk-dominating behemoths like ultrawides, these are likely to be two solid choices. Alienware seems to want to emphasize the three-year warranty on these two new displays, which is probably an attempt to alleviate one of the biggest concerns when purchasing OLED technology. That is, the fear of waking up one morning to find that your much-needed new monitor has the ghost of something you abused the night before.

When Jeremy wrote his review of the AW3423DWF this past May, it was, in his own words, "utterly fantastic."

Alienware certainly seems committed to QD-OLED technology. Now that high refresh rate panels are starting to be produced in sizes suitable for gamers, we can expect to see a variety of different display formats pushed onto the market from a variety of manufacturers to see what sticks. [If these new panels are anything to go by, this may yet be just the beginning of OLED display dominance.
