Quick replacement for broken X34 turned out to be a really good choice.
Update. Used it every day for a few months now. Zero issues. It does seem like there is a bit more back bleed in the corners now but unless your looking for it you just don't see it. I have it on an amazon basics arm(AmazonBasics Premium Single Monitor Stand - Lift Engine Arm Mount, Aluminum - Black)https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MIBN16O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1I've had it since 2018 and i's a beast of a mount. Get's moved and adjusted constantly depending on what I am doing on the computer and no issues. Really like the Alienware display. As with any display you need to dial it in to your tastes and I did that the first day and have since played with all the features and love it. I don't use the speakers. Good purchase although I would not have replaced my X34 with it had the X34 not been destroyed.I wasn't planning to upgrade my display till the end of 2020. While rearranging my setup for DCS I managed to put a keyboard corner into the X34 pbmiphzx and turned it into a 30 inch screen. While trying to live with it while getting up to speed with displays out now things went "melty, smokey, fiery" fun and that was it for a good x34 I had since May 2018. Now I was back to a ASUS VE276Q Black 27 from 2011 and after you go wide screen there is just no going back so after catching up on what's out I went with the Alienware. VERY HAPPY. It's a very nice screen with deep blacks and really good colors compared to the other 34in. Very little bleed around the corners. Almost none at the top and just a bit around the controls on the lower right. Took awhile to get it all setup and I was REALLY impressed. I play with the lights in the room on dim or off and by brightness setting was turned down quite a bit. I see people complaining about it but for me it's perfect. Did a clean install with the GFroce drivers and set it to 120hz. Using an EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Hydro Copper to push the graphics with no issues. It's mounted on a dual display VESA mounting arm that gets moved around every day and the added cord hooks on the back do a perfect job of not pulling at the connection points. Nice slide on cover to really lock them down. Really like the light system on this one but I have already been through my RGB dance for me baby phase so for the most part everything is set to red but you have some good options for lighting. Kind of a shame that I am not using the included stand. It's crazy solid with more light options on it. The little touch on/off light on the bottom of the screen is really useful. Only change I would make to that is a touch brightness and color option for that. 2 USB ports right at the bottom hold my USB Unifying Receiver and my 3D printer thumb drive nub. Out of the way but right there when needed. More USB ports on the back but all I have is the TrackIR5 in there. There is very little piano black which is good as I leave fingerprints over everything. The entire rear panel is all greyish white and to be honest I don't care for it much. There is absolutely no heat coming off it so I plan to wrap the rear in vinyl. Little Alien dude in the corner lights up which is just fluff but it's nice. I had an Alienware M17 R2 back in 2010 and just never thought about them again once it's time had past. Really good controls. Very easy to use and move around. Standard power cord and extra cables included. As long as everything keeps doing it's job over the next year I may push back upgrading my display another year or so. Maybe pick up another used one to replace that ASUS which I use as a 2nd screen for in game instructions and basic functions like news and quick net searches. Not a fan of their pricing. It came out at 1500 and went on sale for sub 1k which was were is should have been priced from the start but it is worth every penny of that 1k price in my book. Just missed the good sales but what can you do when your not shopping for a new display. Overall I think this is a fantastic choice for gaming and movies. No HDR or sky high HZ options which is what I was waiting for to upgrade but at 120hz native it's ripping it up. Oh ..Good packing job with the Alienware box. It's the Xmass rush and Amazon has falling a little short on the packing jobs this month. Normally you get tons of air bags and what not. All this had was a bit of brown paper tossed in which did absolutely nothing in the slightly larger box it shipped in so the Alienware box had a few dents in the corners but not a single thing was out of place in the factory box. Normally Prime does a better job. I once got a pack of cheap metal paint brushes that was packed up like the most fragile object ever shipped. If your on the fence with this one go ahead and get it. Good price for the spec and looks amazing.

A Solid BIG WIN but with the Right Specs
A Solid WIN but with only the Right Specs.This Monitor is very high specResolution is 3440X1440 with G Sync and 120 htz refresh.It's a very bright display has to be around 450 nits Max brightness. It's so bright I use only Game 2 mode in RPG setting I can't use anything brighter trust me it's rediculously bright. You will have to turn down settings in the game your playing if too bright.Ok so with that out of the way this monitor is fully Capable of running AAA titles at Ultra settings or HIGH if you have the right hardware to support it. What does that mean ?Well for starters I am running for my SPEC: I9900k 8 Core Up to(5.2 gtz OC) MSI Trident X Plus with 32GB RAMRTX 2080ti Ventus DUO by MSIPSU: Gold Standard 7503 Pcie NVME SSD'sYou get the point.So I can see high frame rates on most titles either RPG or FPS in HIGH settings or ULTRA but that's not hitting full refresh of 120htz in ULTRA nope. HIGH settings or even medium on MOST titles I am seeing refresh rate being hit at that MARK. It really just depends on the game and type of game you play.The OSD: is so easy to use the navigation menu was very thought out and I have no issues. Don't forget to change your FACTORY refresh from 60htz to 120htz in Nvidia control panel or this monitor would be useless in that regard.I happen to like the Alien FX lighting and how simple it is to customize in the OSD menu. I typically leave it on breathing or Spectrum to cycle through the colors to match my Logitech G560 speakers.I really reccomend sitting further away from this monitor as opposed to being close up. The colors are very bright and vibrant. Literally no washed up colors no back light bleed really at all and if it's there just a little bit on this IPS screen you won't notice it at least not my unit.Assembly and set up: Ummm took like maybe 2 mins to set up and get running. It was easy as cake. No tools of any kind required just use the supplied Wing BOLT and your good to go.The monitor really isn't that heavy either. It's very solid and doesn't wobble doesn't move around when slightly touching it.It's also adjustable so thats a plus swivels and tilts. Is it necessary for swivel ? No not really this thing is huge I leave it set in 1 motion only.Final thoughts: You guys I really have nothing negative to say about this monitor really at all. This monitor is truely epic in every way and when it was in sale for $1029 I grabbed it. Shipping took literally 2 days than there it was on my door step. Keep in mind the BOX is huge ok. The packaging is second to none and the directions are clear as day when removing the monitor from it's old home (The BOX)I highly recommend this amazing piece of hardware to add to any high spec set up...Additional thoughts: Please have a high spec machine at least RTX 2070 Super or above to run this beast at it's native resolution. If not than I wouldn't see a use for it and to look elsewhere.Hope this review helps you in your purchase decision as I am extremely impressed and hope you will be to when it arrives on your doorstep.
