"features two HDMI 2.1 ports, one HDMI 1.4 port" I'm guessing that's a typo and you meant Displayport 1.4.

Why does it not have DP2.1?!

1499$ or 1199$ for the 32''? (USD not CAD )
I see conflicting reports on that but it looks like 1199, non?

Why does it not have DP2.1?!

No video card on the market can natively drive 4k240 so it's an easy corner for them to cut to save money by using DSC.

As for the 1440p display it looks like they cut corners period, because proper HDMI 2.1 would be able to drive 360hz but the article cites 144hz so that's actually HDMI 2.0 bandwidth.

These monitors seem much more reasonably priced compared to previous Alienware products. Sony just announced its going to mini LED for its next gen flagship TV. I wonder which tech will win in the gaming space in the next 5 years. I think mini-LED is a lot cheaper to produce, so companies might try to push the boundaries of mini over oled. LG has their MLA+ and whatever comes after that to push OLED.
Side note, I turned saturation to 150 on my OLED through AMD adrenaline and COD enemies are a lot easier to spot.

Can't find anything on the cooling. Passive heatsink? Active fan? Little of both? The AW3423DW did this horrible puffing noise when it got hot, but a firmware update changed this to a more constant exhaust. It's better, but this monitor is louder than my gaming PC on the floor (which is all Noctua fans: steady 350 rpm case fans and a 1000 rpm CPU fan flat curve). It's fine when gaming, but a little annoying when just trying to browse Tom's Hardware
