Alienware AW3226Q OLED gaming monitor review

You know Alienware's 5K2K 39-inch ultrawide OLED gaming monitor beast, the AW3926QW, the one I reviewed the other day? It's an absolute beauty, probably my favourite current PC monitor, save for one niggly flaw. But what if you fancy something similar, but cheaper and in a more conventional 32-inch 4K form factor? Well, give it up for the new Alienware AW3226Q, because it ticks all those boxes.

Notably, it sports exactly the same LG Tandem WOLED panel tech as its bigger 39-inch sibling. That includes being the latest RGB-stripe variant of that new LG OLED panel generation that everyone is going bananas for.

Well, it's nearly the same. For reasons that aren't entirely clear, this 32-inch 4K panel clocks in at 250 nits full-screen brightness and 1,000 nits peak HDR. The aforementioned 39 incher rocks 300 nits and 1,300 nits figures for the same metrics, respectively.

✅ You're an OLED purist: LG's new RGB-stripe WOLED tech offers beautifully neutral colours.

❌ You want the brightest possible OLED experience: This version of LG's Tandem WOLED panel technology takes a small brightness hit.

As it happens, the numbers for this 32-inch 4K model are actually more in line with expectations for this panel type. The thing is, with all previous WOLED panel generations, LG used a white subpixel to boost brightness.

This new pure RGB-stripe—or red, green, blue—item ditches the white subpixel in favour of pixel precision and improved colour volume.
