Earlier this year, Dell announced the "world's first 39" 5K monitor with RGB stripe tandem OLED technology." You can finally get your hands on one. The new Alienware AW3926QW has just been listed at Dell for $1,099.99 with free delivery (10% less if you have a verified student account). This monitor has potential to be an outstanding performer in both gaming and workstation use thanks to its unparalleled text clarity, and it comes with a 3 year warranty that covers OLED burn-in.
The Alienware AW3926QW has no lack of features that make it stand out from the crowd, but perhaps its most impressive technology is the RGB stripe tandem OLED panel. Tandem OLED stacks multiple OLED layers on top of each other instead of a single layer. Tandem OLED is better than other OLED panels because: 1) it's much brighter (the AW3926QW in particular has a very impressive 1,300 nits of peak brightness) and 2) it's less prone to burn-in.
The AW3926QW doubles down on this with new RGB stripe technology. Whereas traditional tandem OLEDs use white pixels, RGB stripe tandem OLED breaks the color down further into vertically aligned red, green, and blue pixels. This reduces color fringing and in turn significantly improves text clarity. It goes without saying that there are obvious benefits here for both gaming and productivity purposes alike.
Tandem and RGB stripe technologies aside, the AW3926QW is also Alienware's first 5K OLED monitor. With an impressive 5120 x 2160 resolution, this 39" monitor boasts a pixel density of 143ppi.
