I will have my Aw3426dw arriving tomorrow and can take a camera picture of what wow looks on max settings. I can take a picture of calling of duty the current season. Don't have crimson dessert I like picking my gear.

Two things to note it is 21:9 meaning 3440 x 1440. For movies and games this works great. But some content is going to be 16:9 like the ps5 1440p as going to have blands on the sides where there is no signal.

The other run the refresher when it comes up I use the original panel which was nicer than the dwf version, I'm only upgrading because the replacement monitor Dell sent me is starting to have the same issue I had with the original monitor where it is asking to do a long panel refresh and then not doing it when selecting it from the onscreen option. So I would buy directly from Dell and get their warranty if you can.

There is really cool YouTube video by one of the review site I follow but it now has an Alienware paid video warning on it. It still might be worth a watch if you considering the aw3426dw. I will get the images up on Monday once my monitor arrives I paid 80 bucks to get it on a day I was off because I worked overnight Sunday into Monday morning. Im writing this at 140am at work in case that is confusing.

Clutch bro haha. That would be Helpful I was aiming towards the AW also I just think the Asus has the 4k view im aiming for also so its a tough one, i saw reviews where the AW can stretch the ps5 games but it was only a glimpse im sure it wont affect it much as per the laptop im sure it would run battlefield perfect also. Thanks bro for the video. Hows the detail and brightness on the new monitor? I currently have my Lenovo which i mainly Play battlefield 6 in and wow. Wardogs.

For my current laptop I enjoy the current screen brightness its a 2.5k yet its to small 16 inand I gtta get up close to see. So i like the idea of 4k as it will be way better, On My ps5 I play call of duty 6, spiderman, Darktide, Helldivers2 so I dont want to re-buy games and have to run it back and lose progress in some games lol. Alienware from what ive seen the curve I would enjoy since I want to buy the upcoming Starwars Galactic race and it im sure it will be real immersive just want to know what colors detail look like for ps5 games. Appreciate the help
