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.

For great laptop deals, Best Buy is a familiar place to head, offering deep discounts on cheap models as well as high-end examples with great features. Right now, you can buy the Acer Swift 16 AI for just $850, working out as a saving of $350 on the regular price of $1,200. It sports everything you could want from a laptop to use at work or take to the coffee shop. Let’s take a deeper dive into just how great it is.

Why you should buy the Acer Swift 16 AI
Back when we reviewed the Acer Swift 16 AI, we loved its “thin and light chassis” along with its “beautiful OLED display” and “good productivity performance.” We cited it as “reasonably affordable,” which makes this discount even more appealing. The main issue? A poor battery life at just over four hours when browsing online. That’s thanks to its 16-inch 3K OLED display impacting battery life, but on the plus side, it looks utterly gorgeous. It offers cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 color gamut support, 340 nits of peak brightness, and a response time of just 0.2ms, so it’s perfect for watching movies on the move. Just bear in mind that battery life.

This phenomenal Acer gaming laptop is $450 off at Best Buy

With the recent announcement of the Nvidia RTX 50-series of GPUs launching from the end of this month, we’re spotting some great gaming laptop deals for all things 40-series. While they may soon no longer be the latest hardware, they’re still going to offer exceptional gaming performance for a long time to come. One highlight is being able to buy the Acer Predator Helios 18 at Best Buy for $2,550 instead of $3,000. Packed with high-end hardware, here’s why it’s one of the best laptop deals around.

Why you should buy the Acer Predator Helios
The Acer Predator Helios is a supremely powerful gaming PC that is sure to rival pretty much all the best gaming laptops out there. It uses a 14th-generation Intel Core i9-14900HX processor along with packing 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. If we were being picky, maybe more RAM or storage would have been perfect, but this is still pretty great. Alongside that, there’s a GeForce RTX 4090 GPU which is near impossible to beat (until the 50-series launches).
