Alienware’s better warranty will help you feel comfortable dropping HDTV money on a monitor. Alienware’s main competitors, LG and Samsung, only warranty gaming monitors for one year. The Alienware AW3821DW comes with a three-year warranty and “Advanced Exchange Service,” which promises that a replacement, if needed, will be shipped the next business day. This feature will appeal most to brand loyalists who want a color coordinated setup, though you can also change the color manually through the monitor’s menu.
You’ll need to find a way to place the monitor further back, such as a corner desk, or a wall-mount.Īround back, the stand has an LED ring that can connect with Alienware’s AlienFX software. Like Samsung’s Odyssey G9, the Alienware AW3821DW has a stand that’s too deep for a conventional desk depth of 30 to 36 inches. Adjusting the monitor is easy, requiring minimal force, but once set everything stays firm in whichever position you choose. It leaves little room on your desk but, on the plus side, it keeps the monitor in place with minimal wobble. The stand, which adjusts for height, tilt, swivel, and a few degrees of pivot, is nearly as wide as the monitor. This helps the monitor make a good first impression. The gigantic monitor arm, which is used like a handle to remove the monitor from its packaging without so much as a fingerprint on the screen, feels cast from a single piece of iron. It’s attractive, unique, and futuristic, yet also subtle and elegant. Alienware’s “Legend” design language puts everything else in the gaming market to shame.
I liked the look and feel of Samsung’s massive Odyssey G9, but the AW3821DW leaps ahead of even that impressive monitor. They make little effort to offer a unique look, and when they do, they’re often gaudy and feel inexpensive. DesignMost gaming monitors, truth be told, are design disasters. Its high price is partially justified by the AW3821DW’s collection of cutting-edge features, but what you’re really paying for is a luxury gaming experience – and Alienware delivers.
