Discounts on Alienware’s latest series of QD-OLED monitors have been few and far between so far since their release, although today we spotted some seriously strong business with the combination of the general discount and AFF5MON discount code. With these two deals, this panel drops below the elusive £800 mark, which is the best price we’ve ever seen for such a capable display in the UK.

The other important thing about this discount, apart from its mere existence, is that there is no circle or code to enter. The monitor is only at that price from Dell with the use of a code that is free for everyone. Previously, discounts were available through either student discount services, workplace discounts or the Dell Advantage scheme. You can seem to stack the ones with this code to get this panel even cheaper, although your mileage. may vary, of course.

What’s certain is that the AW3225QF is a brilliant monitor, packing all the desirable high-end specs you could dream of in a gaming monitor in 2024. Being 4K means it’ll deliver some incredible detail, while a refresh rate of 240 Hz. provides extremely smooth movement. Oh, and this is also a QD-OLED panel. This has been seen on some of Alienware’s monitors before and combines the wonderful contrast of an OLED with the brightness of a QLED in one powerful panel, but the experience is even better with this panel being one of the third generation QD-OLEDs from Samsung. options. It also comes with a slight 1700R curve for increased immersion factor. The AW3225QF certainly has it all, as mentioned in the our review.

VRR support is also present with G-Sync and VESA Adaptive Sync, while the AW3225QF also offers up to 1000 nits of brightness thanks to that QD-OLED panel. Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, this monitor also supports Dolby Vision to accentuate detail in darker areas and brighten things up even more. This monitor also offers DCI-P3 coverage of up to 99%, which means extremely accurate colors.

You also get Alienware’s classic space-age futuristic design to stand out from the crowd, as well as a decent selection of ports with a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports and a DP 1.4. One of those HDMI 2.1 ports also has an eARC for connecting a soundbar, and it also supports Dolby Atmos signal pass-through. You also have a selection of USB ports, with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports downstream, as well as USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C and USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-B.

Alienware’s AW3225QF is a monitor that certainly has it all, and getting it for a lower price without jumping from Dell in the UK is great.
