Summary
The AW3225QF is a state-of-the-art gaming monitor that impresses with its technical specifications and attractive design. It offers a high refresh rate and fast response time, which can be particularly beneficial for smooth gameplay and intensive gaming sessions. With an impressive resolution and good color accuracy, the monitor is also suitable for creative applications and multimedia use. The AW3225QF combines performance and aesthetics, making it an excellent choice for demanding users who require first-class picture quality for both gaming and work.
The design of the monitor is typical Alienware and the ergonomic stand allows flexible adjustment of height, tilt and rotation. The AW3225QF is very well made and offers many connection options. Unfortunately, Dell has forgotten the KVM switch and the DP alt mode. Dell could also have put more effort into the calibration, or should have delivered what is suggested to the customer. At least the AW3225QF also offers Dolby Vision and eARC via HDMI, which should make it particularly interesting for console gamers.
Conclusion
The fact that the panel has a 1700R curvature is not really noticeable from my point of view. If this bothers you, you’ll have to look at the much more expensive competitors. The Dell Alienware AW3225QF currently costs “only” 1014 euros, making it the cheapest 32-inch OLED UHD monitor on the market. The bottom line is that the QD OLED monitors only differ in terms of equipment and a few features that are usually not really needed anyway. The essentials – namely the QD OLED panel from Samsung – are the same for all of them.
It was a little disappointing for me that Dell now also fails to deliver what it promises when it comes to calibration. In my view, this is an absolute no-go, because the obvious weakness – with almost all manufacturers – is the RGB balance. This must be noticeable in an individual calibration, where a report is also issued! It is also noticeable that the press samples (regardless of manufacturer) almost always deliver what is promised. Strange, isn’t it?
Everyone should really read through the Dolby Vision topic carefully, as this is not clear from the conclusion here. It is also a fact that if Dolby Vision cannot currently be measured at all, how have the manufacturers calibrated and, above all, validated it? I don’t understand!
At this point, my thanks go first and foremost to the owner of the AW3225QF, who gave me the monitor to test. I would also like to thank Tim Schiesser and Simon Baker for their excellent cooperation and support.
Note: The Dell Alienware AW2725DF was tested with firmware M2B105.
The monitor was provided to me by a Customer without obligation – for testing purposes. There was no influence on the tests and results. There was also no compensation for expenses and no obligation to publish by Dell or anyone else.
