The Alienware AW3423DWF has always been a top pick for us, and it's easy to see why! It started at over $1,000, but that price has been dropping steadily since it came out three years ago. When we last visited the monitor in October, it was selling for $521.99. However, it's not down to an all-time low of just $499.99 as part of Amazon's early Black Friday deals.

The Alienware AW3423DWF is available at Amazon for its lowest price to date, which is half its launch price. It has a 34-inch curved QD-OLED panel and is AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certified. It has a resolution of 3440 x 1440 and can reach a refresh rate of 165Hz.

You'll find two DisplayPort 1.4 ports and one HDMI 2.0 port for your video needs, and Alienware includes a USB 3.2 hub with four downstream ports. Just a heads-up, there aren't any speakers on the AW3423DWF, but it does have a 3.5mm headphone jack.
