Monitor does what it says on the box. its an excellent monitor and I am super happy with my purchase.

Side Note - First time ordering from Wootware, and I'm super impressed with whole process, customer service was on point as well as the delivery being ahead of schedule. 10 stars.

This is truly an endgame monitor. The final boss of monitors. Extremely happy with my purchase and the service that Wootware provided. My delivery even came before the expected date which was amazing. Product and service A+++

Really happy with look and performance of this Screen, for some reason this brand always top of the class with monitors, had the 1080 240hz and also did very well for its day and I'm still having trouble of letting go of it, however the image, colors, size is great for all the gaming i do, very happy with this. Thanks Wootware

Best screen I have owned.
Super fast,great colours and lots of options.
Couldn't be happier.
Now just to hope the 5080 launch at a good price to take full advantage.

I’ve been using the AW3225QF for two months now, and I can confidently say the image clarity and quality of the QD-OLED display are absolutely breathtaking. This monitor truly combines the best of both worlds.

If you’re into story-driven games with high visual fidelity, this is the ideal choice. The picture quality is unmatched, and the QD-OLED panel makes every scene come to life. On the flip side, if you're a competitive gamer who plays fast-paced shooters like Call of Duty, this monitor has you covered too. With a 0.03ms response time and a 240Hz refresh rate, the performance is top-notch—especially when paired with such low latency.

I waited a bit before posting my review because I wanted to make sure I had a thorough understanding of the overall experience with this monitor. While there are a few downsides, the positives easily outweigh them:

Downsides:
Micro Scratches: Upon receiving my unit, I noticed some tiny micro scratches on the screen. They’re barely noticeable to the naked eye, but if you shine a light directly on the display, they become apparent. Fortunately, they don’t affect the viewing experience, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Horizontal Lines Issue: After a few hours of use, I encountered a strange issue where horizontal lines appeared across the screen the next day when I powered it on. I want to clarify that this wasn’t a static grid issue—there were no grid lines on the display. The fix was simple: I performed a full panel refresh, which took about an hour, and the problem was resolved. However, I was a bit concerned because performing a panel refresh so soon could potentially impact the long-term durability of the QD-OLED panel.

Positives:
Despite these minor issues, the overall experience has been overwhelmingly positive. If you’re seeking the best gaming visuals available, this 4K, 240Hz QD-OLED monitor is the way to go. Yes, it’s a premium-priced product, but the investment is well worth it. For some users, the 32-inch size might feel a bit large, but I find it to be the perfect balance between immersive, story-driven gaming and competitive shooters.

The subtle curve is also a fantastic addition. It’s not extreme, but it definitely enhances the immersion. I was surprised by how much more engaged I felt in my games after using this monitor.

It's important to note that to fully unlock this monitor’s potential, you’ll need a relatively high-end PC. I’m running a 7900XTX with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 6000MHz, and the combination works flawlessly. The monitor runs like a dream with this setup.

Finally, I highly recommend purchasing this product from Wootware. Their customer service is exceptional, the best in South Africa, and I look forward to a long-term partnership with them.

I didn't think that we were anywhere near this level of quality for gaming, but it seems like the future is now. The 4k panel has an excellent pixel density for reading text and clarity in games. The 240hz refresh rate feels smoother than my older 165hz even at lower FPS and I think it's because of the excellent response times of the monitor. Lastly, the QD-OLED technology is truly breathtaking for colours and deep blacks as well as the HDR support. I would recommend using the auto HDR for Windows PCs as the Dolby Atmos HDR only really works for Dolby content. I manually enable that for Dolby content and for nothing else.

This is the first OLED screen I've ever owned and it was such a welcome upgrade coming from IPS.

Pros:
- Great colors.

- 240hz response time is perfect for competitive online gaming.

- Deep blacks owing to oled technology (compared to IPS it looks like the screen is off).

- HDR is decent, but there is some noticeable ABL that occurs as bright elements take up more of the screen.

- Glossy panel. I was a bit concerned the glossy finish on the panel would make it unusable in daylight but its actually less reflective/distracting than the matte coating on my IPS screen imo. The curved dimensions of the screen distort the light making the reflections look very wide but also less noticeable than they would be otherwise.

- Great aesthetics on the back of the monitor with a white finish, leds and alienware logo. Panel is very thin as well.

- The maximum fullscreen brightness is around 239 nits~ (Hardware Unboxed), which i thought might be noticeable coming from a 450 nits monitor but honestly this thing gets bright enough.

Cons
- If you aren't a fan of curved screens well you probably avoided this one anyway. Coming from a guy who uses flat screens, it was a bit disorientating to use at first but after the first few minutes you stop noticing the curve and the closer you are to the center of the screen makes it less noticeable as well.

- VRR flicker in dark scenes. This is an issue that you will experience on any OLED monitor, but so far it has been minor.

- There is some plastic below the display ports which limits the vertical space available and makes it more difficult to connect cables into the ports.

- This monitor has a fan for active cooling, but it has not been audible for me.

Useful tips:
- Upgrade the firmware to the latest version (M2B105, A03-00 as of the time of this review): https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/aw3225qf-monitor/drivers

- Play around with brightness, color and HDR settings until you find something that works for you. I used the settings suggested here:

- Take precautions to avoid burn in. For example: disable desktop icons, auto-hide taskbar, use a black wallpaper or wallpaper slideshow, use a screensaver and/or turn the monitor off when you aren't using it.

- Make sure you run the pixel refresh on the monitor after 4 hours of use. To do this you turn the monitor off via power button and the power button will show a green led until the refresh is complete. The monitor shows a circular icon in the OSD which indicates when you should run a pixel refresh, it will go yellow after 4 hours elapse in its power on count.

Overall I would say it is excellent monitor and you won't go wrong with this one.

I received the monitor in record time, as always. Thanks Wootware! I was a little bit worried about the screen possibly having some scratches as this is what some people have been experiencing, but I inspected mine closely and it’s perfect. The packaging was also in perfect condition.

I was using a S3220DGF as well as a 43”QN90C before this. I decided to upgrade from the S3220DGF to a mini-LED TV as I wanted something with better black levels and I also thought the big screen size would be more immersive. In the end the TV was just too big and I didn’t want to go back to 1440p VA. I got this instead and I have not been disappointed! Everything is super sharp and clear, from text to games. This is a 3rd generation panel with a different subpixel layout so I assume this helps with text clarity. The text is clearer than on the QN90C. It of course has perfect blacks, great colours and HDR looks really good. Highlights really pop and overall it looks almost exactly the same as HDR on the QN90C, which has excellent HDR. I use 105% scaling and I find this to be comfortable to look at.

It is a very expensive monitor and I wish it were a little cheaper, but hopefully I won’t experience burn-in too soon so that I get to use the monitor for a really long time.
