Here’s a really lucky deal. It’s on this gently curved 34-inch Alienware QD-OLED monitor, the AW3423DWF, which is now down to exactly $777 from its usual price sitting around $900. That saves you about $122. Lucky, huh? Well, not quite, as it is a part of the Best Buy 4th of July sale, set to end on July 7 (7/7). It’s one of the highest rated gaming monitors on the site and it can be yours at this special price for a limited time only. Tap the button below to check out its current price or keep reading to see why people love it so much.

Why you should buy this 34-inch Alienware QD-OLED monitor

The Alienware AW3423DWF is a curved gaming monitor with an 1800R curve, 165Hz refresh rate, and beautiful QD-OLED display. This designation as a QD-OLED means that it has a Quantum Dot OLED display, a sort of OLED display with improved brightness and better color. In short, you’re going to have an absolutely beautiful gaming experience. This monitor has a QHD resolution and a 0.1ms response time.

It is also worth pointing out that this monitor is very similar to the best gaming monitor in our current lineup. The monitor that holds that title (another Alienware 34-inch QD-OLED monitor) is the similarly titled AW3423DW, which has a few (quite mild) improvements, such as a slightly higher refresh rate. As a result, we highly recommend you check out our Alienware AW3423DW review to get an idea of what using this monitor would be like, just with the caveat that things aren’t going to be perfectly the same.

To take advantage of this deal and get the 34-inch curved Alienware QD-OLED AW3423DWF for just $778, down $122 from $900, go ahead and tap the button below. The sale ends on the July 7, so you have a little bit of time to think it over. However, don’t think for too long as Best Buy warns that there are limited quantities in this sale. Once a deal is sold out, it’s over. After you’ve made your purchasing decision, check out other Alienware deals to round out your collection.

Best Buy knocks $250 off this TP-Link mesh router system

TP-Link BE11000

If you're the type of person who uses a lot of smart home devices, then you know the pain that comes along with not having the best Wi-Fi coverage in your home. Wi-Fi dead spots can be a really big problem, even with the best routers, which is why a mesh router can be a great alternative. If you're thinking of grabbing a mesh router system, then the TP-Link BE11000 is a really solid option, especially since this deal from Best Buy knocks a whopping $250 off the price tag of $800 for a pack of three.

Why you should buy the TP-Link BE11000 Whole Home Mesh System
One of the most impressive things about the TP-Link BE11000 is that it can cover a truly massive area of 7,600 square feet, making it great for larger homes as well, especially given those tend to have the biggest issue with Wi-Fi dead spots. Another big benefit is that it comes with the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, which is actually pretty rare these days, especially for mesh routers, but you do get better connectivity, lower latency, and the ability to connect up to 200 devices. Also, for those who are VPN users, it supports both VPN servers and clients, meaning you just need to install the VPN on the mesh router and not on every device in your home.

For just $550 you can snag this entry-level gaming laptop with an RTX 3050

While gaming laptops used to be quite big, bulky, and expensive, the past few years have seen a big jump in technology, and now most gaming laptops tend to be quite thin and easy to carry around. Not only that, but there are some nice budget-oriented options as well, such as this configuration of the Lenovo LOQ. What makes it impressive is that it's been discounted at Best Buy down to $550 and yet comes with an entry-level RTX 30-series GPU, which is rare at this price bracket. In fact, this laptop usually goes for $800, so you're getting a whopping $250 discount in the process.

Why you should buy the Lenovo LOQ 15.6-inch gaming laptop
The beating heart of any gaming laptop is its GPU, and in this case, you get yourself an RTX 3050, which admittedly is an entry-level graphics card, but for the $550 price tag, it's actually really impressive to see. In terms of gaming, you're going to easily be able to play casual and indie games, as well as older games from the last few years. You can also get away with playing some free-to-play games, and with the screen's FHD resolution and 144Hz refresh rate, you can actually optimize your settings for better framerate, which is a nice addition.

If I had $1,000 to spend on a monitor, I’d buy this deal

Alienware's 32-inch 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor is sitting at its best price of the year. That means even if you missed it during Big Deal Days deals you can still pick it up now. The monitor, which resides at the very top of our listing of the best gaming monitors, is currently sitting at the $1,000 mark, down $200 from its usual $1,200. That's a savings of 16% off of its usual price and it can be yours now if you tap the button below. With the one week from Prime's Big Deal Days date hitting soon, this very well might be your last chance to get this deal — and the best gaming monitor out there — at a discounted rate for quite some time. Go ahead and tap the button below to check and see if the deal is still active, or keep reading to see why we like this monitor, its quirks, and our personal experiences with it.

Why you should buy Alienware's 32-inch 4K QD-OLED
Starting out with our personal experience with this monitor, our Alienware 32 QD-OLED review praises the monitor for its excellent color accuracy, saying that "It’s the most color accurate monitor out of the box we’ve ever tested." That means less fiddling with monitors and more playing games. You'll also find that the monitor's curve, which is a lesser-used 1700R, has a certain gentleness to it that isn't distracting and doesn't veer into the extremeness that some of the best curved monitors do. One thing that is notable about this review is how its score, 4.5/5.0 stars, aligns so greatly with real customer reviews that put it at 4.6/5.0 stars. While we can't ask those customers directly, we suspect that they might've also wanted speakers embedded in the monitor, too.
