Youre right. “Cordless handheld vacuum” is a descriptor and not “the name of a product”.
In fact, on the Alienware website, the product is called ‘Alienware 34" Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW3423DWF’
Alienware 34" curved QD-OLED gaming monitor sounds a LOT like exactly what you described. And then the SKU is tacked on to the end because they sell multiple various models of of 34" curved QD-OLED gaming monitors, and people are going to want to get the right one, so they make it prominent.
That only works if you assume that there is something consistent to version. Some years it’s a 34" ultra wide, some years it’s a 32" 4k. Will there ever be another 34" ultra wide from alienware? Who knows! Not every monitor gets a revision. and if you have random names for 100 different monitors every year, that doesn’t really help make sense of things either.
Alienware Monitor 7… Well they release 100 different models a year, and every year thats going to increment, and consumers often conflate “bigger number better” so you better make sure you get the numbering right.
And “Porkchop” means absolutely nothing to anyone. DWF at least means something to some people. Going from 0% usefulness to even 10% usefulness is a good move.
My comment from last time this was posted.
The most commonly cited monitor in recent years for this is “AW3423DWF”… Which is AlienWare 34" from 2023, DisplayPort, WQHD, Freesync.
Point is, people see a lot of characters and complain when in reality it is exactly what you are referring to. The name is an encoded version of its capabilities. Its just that the encoding isn’t always clear because if every company used the same encoding they would have the same name. and if there are 2 similar monitors you would need to have every feature in the name to differentiate them, so the shorthand encoding becomes necessary. (Eg, AW3423DW and AW3423DWF only really differ on freesync vs gsync, thus the F at the end)
The official product page is an actual monitor name, and postfixed with the encoding to help differentiate similar models. So you’re right, but also, “AW3423DWF is a terrible name” is wrong, because AW3423DWF isn’t the product name, it’s just how people identify it, because there are so many similar monitors out there.
