Finally, A New Budget Ultra-Wide Gaming Monitor: Dell Alienware AW3425DWM Review

Get the Dell Alienware AW3425DWM here: https://www.rtings.com/afflink/Aq0AAX... The Dell Alienware AW3425DWM is an entry-level ultrawide gaming monitor. It has features you'd expect in a gaming monitor, like a 180Hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 bandwidth, VRR support, and low input lag. Although it still has black smearing with fast-moving objects, which is typical of VA panels like this one, it at least has a consistent response time across its VRR range. With that said, is it worth getting as a budget ultrawide gaming monitor? Monitor Review: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/review...
