Alienware 38 Curved Gaming Monitor (AW3821DW)

Attractive (if possibly polarizing) cabinet design ; Lots of USB ports ; Good color range ; Supports G-Sync Ultimate

Expensive ; No USB-C ports or HDMI 2.1 input ; DisplayPort required for 144Hz ; Peak brightness could use a step up

The pricey Alienware 38 Curved Gaming Monitor has lightning-quick response times and looks good on your desk, but it's actually outclassed by its smaller QD-OLED sibling.
