Our Verdict
ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM
Dell Alienware AW3225QF
The Dell Alienware AW3225QF and the ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM are similar 4k, 240Hz QD-OLEDs that use the same panel. The Dell has a curved screen, while the ASUS is flat, so you may find the ASUS a better choice if you don't like curved displays. Other than that, the Dell is the better choice for console gaming as it has lower input lag at 120Hz and 60Hz. However, the ASUS is better for productivity, especially in a bright room, as it gets brighter and has a few more perks, like a KVM switch.
