Get the Dell Alienware AW3425DW: https://www.rtings.com/afflink/AtYAAW%2FgAAA= Get the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF: https://www.rtings.com/afflink/AtYAAIm4AAA= The Dell Alienware AW3425DW is the newer version of the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF and has upgrades in a few ways. The AW3425DW has a higher 240Hz refresh rate, and its HDMI 2.1 bandwidth allows you to reach that refresh rate without any signal compression. The AW3423DWF has a bigger USB hub, though, making it easier to connect to different devices. It also has audio ports, which the AW3425DW doesn't have. Is it worth upgrading to the newer model?
