The most commonly cited monitor in recent years for this is "AW3423DWF"... Which is AlienWare 34" (no idea what 23DW is) Freesync. I assume the 23DW has a point to it too.

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)

Edit: W is for WQHD: 3440x1440

D could stand for 'Dell' and W might have something to do with WQHD. 23, I have no idea, maybe meant as their flagship monitor in 2023, but that's a stretch.

Dell owns Alienwar3, so generally I don't see the need for that. Perhaps display port? 23 is indeed the manufactured year, like the other Dell monitors in this thread.
