I gotta say man, I really like your conversational way of talking about tech. You make it easy to determine if I even care about the more in depth particulars of a specific product which I can dig into on my own, or not. All while still offering a good amount of detail, and touching on all the things that users of a given product would be looking for info on. I'm a tech nerd myself, but sometimes I just want an informative overview that touches on the things that matter. You provide just that. You address every concern I'd have for either of these monitors, and you do it without the too-high energy and over-hyped style that so many other tech creators use. Thanks for giving us a dope, informative but relaxed view of modern tech!

I love that you're always shouting out other channels and their extensive research for us to dig deeper if we want. Its a great service to the creator community AND keeps brevity for the sake of the topic at hand. Great video as always!

You didn't disappoint when I asked for you to review these from the Asus monitor video last month. I'm contemplating the 27" for shooters, but I'll probably wait until the end of the year to see how the next generation of hardware handles these monitors.

stoked to hear someone i trust give feedback based on real time spent with these monitors. Great vid man! I'm waiting on my 27"

Hey BadSeed, you're 2 reviews were incredible. You helped me make a decision and I took the plunge and purchased the AW3225QF. I believe this will be a great companion to my AW 18M (sporting an Nvidia RTX 4090). I do have a question; would you connect via the DisplayPort or HDMI to get the absolute best performance? As an FYI, the laptop has a mini DisplayPort. Thx again and keep the videos coming!

Excellent review! The 32" looks like a very promising upgrade! BTW... ready for more Badseed V2 switches, loving the ones I have but need more for another build ;)

Awesome review, can't wait for your reviews on other OLED monitors 💯👌

Thank you very much for all this information! Great review video. I am definitely leaning towards the 32inch Alienware.

Just the video i needed! I'm looking at these two plus the older AW3423DWF which is often on sale.

You're the only reviewer who mentioned VRR flicker. Thank you

I bought the DWF at end of November. Luckily Best buy had a extended return period for the holidays and u got my money back to buy the aw3235qf. Monitor looks crazy good have to see it with your iwn eyes.

I've had the Alienware AW3423DWF for about and a year and love it! Don't think I could go back to an IPS or VA panel. I'm really tempted on getting the AW3235QF and experience 4K gaming for the first time. Also Dolby Vision is really appealing to me. EDIT: 19 Jan dropped the hammer and ordered the 4K beast! (ships next week) Figure it's justified once I sell the ultrawide =)

Great review my friend. Hit on all the spots the other reviews flew over.

Surprised no KZreadr is mentioning the issues with Dolby Vision HDR on PC. The algorithm locks the details around the True Black HDR 400 range and the brightness beyond that is clipped. This is on the latest Nvidia 546.33 driver and reverting to 546.17 removes the Dolby Vision lock and the monitor will be able to ise the full HDR 1000 setting. *Using HDMI 2.1*

Do you prefer the curve on the 32”?

I have an allienware m15 r6 with a RTX3070 HDMI 2.1 . Will this be enough to extract good image quality from these monitors ? At least 240 fps in QHD ?

Does the 27 model still have the pixel fringe on yellow and green colors like the previous 240hz gen?
