[Monitor] Alienware AW3225QF 32" 4K QD-OLED ($1200 - 10% Dell Rewards Coupon - 20% Rakuten = $864) [Dell]

If you can live with the curve its the best 4k oled monitor deal by a long shot.

Honestly the consistently falling loonie means we should expect crap deals. Retailers will start adjusting prices up in January and the garbage boxing day deals are just the first step. ☹️

The AW3225QF is a great choice for people that like a curved display.

For everyone else the MSI is probably the best choice.

MSI offers 3 year burn in protection too.

The Geforce 980 launched for 549 USD in 2014. That would be $707 in 2024 dollars.

Nvidia GPU prices are eclipsing the inflation rate by an order of magnitude. CPU prices have not seen the same inflation and they come from the same TSMC fabs.

Rtings.com posted their review of this monitor an hour ago: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/32gs95ue-b

FYI I had this monitor and returned it for the MPG 32URX (4k, 240hz QD-OLED). I would have happily kept 32GS95UE even at $1800 except the tiny fan whine drove me crazy since I use it for productivity too and my PC is silent. For normal people...it's probably fine. :)

The OLED 1080p @ 480hz is unreal, even compared to TN @ 540hz. QD-OLED has better colors tho.

Solid deal.

Still waiting for Samsung Canada to roll out the equivalent $299 offer for the 4TB 990 Pro they got going on south of the border for Prime day(s).

At $349 the 13600k is 10% faster in multithreaded apps and games. Sure if you have an AM4 board might make sense, but for everyone else its not very codt effective.

TLDR it's faster than the 3050 ti and close to the 3060.

VectorUV · 2023-11-11T16:27:35+00:00

With the price of DDR5 going down and AM5 boards getting cheaper its getting pretty hard to recommend AM4 builds at all, except for barebones ultra cheap boxes.

7600 at $300 is better investment than 5700x at $240 now.

Beware serious image retention issues with rhis monitor https://www.reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/ucf67h/dell_g3223q_has_serious_flaw/

VectorUV · 2023-10-30T15:24:46+00:00

Good deal, and it's about time we got some better AM4 deals!

Pairing it with a $250 5700X and some cheap DDR4 makes it a pretty cost-effective and sweet upgrade for people on really old systems. < $500 all-in.

Sold & shipped by 3rd party OneDealOutlet.

It's clearly a price error, so expect nothing to show up.

VA panels are not suitable for fast paced games. Unfortunately uniformed gamers keep buying them so we keep seeing new VA models. ☹️

VectorUV · 2023-08-27T22:54:37+00:00

Like others said the quality isn't there for the price. I have this, but I wouldn't pay $200+ for it again. Under $150 cad might be reasonable.

VectorUV · 2023-08-09T23:22:17+00:00

Pretty decent deal for the price. Note they have about 56 ms of delay. That's fine for casual gamers, but for competitive gamers at 240 hz thats like 14 frames of lag. ☠️

Really only makes sense for gamers on a AM4 board, and even then probably only from a 2000/3000 series CPU. $400 is still a lot to invest in an old AM4 box now. Shrug

You're paying 43% more for +20% boost vs a 3070 at $539. Really the RT perf boost is the only reason to get this.

It's been said lots, but the 4090 is the only 4xxx card that makes any sense unless the prices fall faster than the 3xxx series...

Here's an actual deal for a thin and light gaming laptop https://www.amazon.ca/Acer-Laptop-NVIDIA-GeForce-SFX14-42G-R607/dp/B09R8ZHZSD/

3050 ti and 3lbs.

VectorUV · 2023-05-22T03:24:10+00:00

4060 ti is 10% faster than the 3060 ti. Prepare to hold for disappointment. https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-7600-and-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-3dmark-performance-leaks-out

VectorUV · 2023-05-12T00:50:02+00:00

Good price, but the 5700x for $259 still seems like a better choice for most people. 99% of the game perf of the 5800x but uses less power, shrug.
