Dell Release the Alienware AW3926QW with a Glossy 39″ Ultrawide WOLED Panel and RGB Stripe

We brought you some early teaser news about this new screen at the end of April when it appeared on some certification databases ahead of its formal announcement. Today Dell formally announce their upcoming Alienware AW3926QW which brings a really exciting new model to the ultrawide OLED market – one which a lot of people have been shouting out for!

The Alienware AW3926QW offers a 39″ ultrawide format with a 5120 x 2160 (“5K2K”) resolution, a 1500R curvature and a 165Hz native refresh rate. It also supports a dual-mode function for 330Hz at a lower 2560 x 1080 resolution for faster gaming situations. It’s built around a 4th Gen Tandem WOLED technology panel from LG Display. So far it sounds very similar to the LG UltraGear Evo 39GX950B you might think, a model we reviewed recently. What sets this new Alienware model apart though are two specific things.

Computex 2026 coverage available now

RGB-stripe layout for the first time

Firstly the screen uses a new RGB-stripe version of the Tandem WOLED panel, doing away with the white sub-pixel and offering for the first time in this size, an OLED panel with a sub-pixel layout optimised for text clarity and Windows OS. We had commented in our LG review that with the improved RGWB layout of the panel, and the high 143 PPI pixel density, we felt that text clarity was already excellent and any fringing issues should be eliminated for the vast majority of users.

However, we appreciate there are some people who are super-sensitive to this, and perhaps want to avoid the risk of clarity problems. If you’ve used a 32″ 4K WOLED panel before and still faced problems, then this new Dell screen gives you an option to bypass the white sub-pixel altogether. It’s great to see additional choice in this segment, and we’re sure a lot of people will be very pleased with that update. This is the World’s first 39″ OLED monitor to feature an RGB-stripe layout Dell point out.

Note that this remains a “Tandem WOLED” panel as the “W” in “WOLED” represents the white colour of the light that the panel produces, and is not related to the inclusion of a white sub-pixel.

A glossy screen coating

Perhaps even more interesting is that Dell have opted to use a glossy screen coating for this new screen, as opposed to matte anti-glare (AG). Glossy fans will no doubt be very pleased by this choice, we’ve certainly seen a lot of people commenting that they’re waiting for a glossy version. We’ll provide more hands on assessment from Computex soon.

Brightness capabilities

With the removal of the white sub-pixel there are some sacrifices that have to be made to brightness – after all, that white sub-pixel is used specifically to enhance brightness on their WOLED panels. Dell quote a 300 nits SDR brightness, so that’s only a small drop compared with the RGWB version which reaches 335 nits. The screen will also still meet the VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black tier, and has a peak brightness spec of 1300 nits (1.5%) which is still decent. That’s a little lower than the 1500 nits of the RGWB version of the panel, and it remains to be seen how real-world HDR brightness performs, but the specs on paper still appear to be strong.

With the removal of the white sub-pixel, colour volume should also be improved and we look forward to testing that on these future RGB-stripe WOLED panels.

Dell Alienware AW3926QW specs

The screen is 39″ in size with a 21:9 ultrawide format and a 1500R curvature. It offers a 5120 x 2160 “5K2K” resolution (or “Ultrawide 4K if you prefer). There’s a 0.03ms G2G response time spec, 300 nits SDR brightness, 178/178 viewing angles, 10-bit colour depth and a wide colour gamut covering 99.5% DCI-P3. The screen comes factory calibrated with dE < 2.

There is a native 165Hz refresh rate with a dual-mode function supporting 330Hz at 2560 x 1080 resolution. VRR is supported by adaptive-sync with AMD ‘FreeSync Premium Pro’, NVIDIA ‘G-sync Compatible’ and VESA ‘AdaptiveSync’ certifications. Dell have even added a new OLED Anti-flicker feature to this screen they say, to reduce VRR flicker.

Some dedicated esports mode settings offer emulation sizes for 24.5″ (at 1520 x 855 @ 330Hz) and 27″ (at 1680 x 945 @ 330Hz) sizes. Additional flexible modes offer 31.5″ 3840 x 2160 @ 165Hz and 39″ 2560 x 1080 @ 330Hz (i.e. the dual mode operation).

For HDR there is True Black 500 certification and a peak brightness spec of 1300 nits (1.5% APL). Both Dolby Vision HDR and HDR10 formats are supported.

For connectivity there are 1x DisplayPort 2.1 (UHBR 20), 1x USB-type-C (with 90W power delivery) and 2x HDMI 2.1 connections provided for video along with 1x headphone connection, 2x USB-A and 1x USB-C (15W) data ports. PiP and PbP modes are supported for handling multiple video inputs, and a KVM switch function is supported too. eARC sound is also supported over one of the HDMI ports which remains a rare feature in the desktop monitor market. The stand offers tilt, height and swivel adjustments.

Optimized design and burn-in mitigation measures

The monitor is backed by a 3 year warranty which includes burn-in cover. Dell talk about how the 4-stack Tandem WOLED panel operates more efficiently than earlier gen panels, achieving higher brightness at lower electrical stress per emissive layer, which directly reduces burn-in risk.

An AI based personalized algorithm improves AW3926QW’s panel lifespan by intelligently predicting pixel usage, ensuring higher durability while familiar Pixel refresh and pixel shift features add additional layers of display health preservation.

Pricing and availability

The Alienware AW3926QW will be available in late June 2026 in select Asia locations with North America and Europe following this fall. Prices will be announced closer to launch.
