Our Verdict
Dell Alienware AW3418DW
Acer Predator Z35P Bmiphz
The Dell Alienware AW3418DW is a bit better than the Acer Predator Z35P Bmiphz. The Acer has slightly better dark room performance, but the Dell looks better when viewed at an angle. The Dell also has a faster response time, so fast-moving objects have less blur trail behind them.
