What They Say
Dell’s Alienware brand said that its 34″ QD-OLED monitor would be available in ‘early spring’ and will sell in the US for $1,299.
What We Think
Wow – that’s a good price for what should be a great monitor for gaming. I said last week that Sony would benefit from the delay in Samsung’s TV and monitor business in adopting the panels, but it looks as though Dell will, as well. The issue may be that reports from Korea have said that production yield is low at the moment, which may limit volumes. Dell has promoted OLED monitors in the past, but then withdrew them. This monitor is said to have a three year warranty against image sticking which should mean that it will last very well.
There are also reports that Sony will sell its 55″ QD-OLED TV at $3,000 and the 65″ at $4,000 as the entries on the firm’s website include credits which are typically allocated at 1 per $ spent. (BR)
