- HDR KING - AW3225QF REVIEW SDR Vs HDR PS5 DOLBY VISION sRGB Gamma 2.2 FIX
Today I bring you my Review on the Alienware AW3225QF 32" 4k 240hz QD OLED GEN 3 2024 Gaming Monitor. From the Unboxing (Packaging Condition on arrival) Micro Scuffs that are still present on this version as was seen on the AW3423DW, a monitor menu preview, Brightness tests in SDR & HDR, Side by Side across a wide variety of games and scenes on PS5 and PC showcasing that HDR PEAK 1000 difference.
Also, I show some monitor Glitches I have encountered in HDR with Creator Mode sRGB Gamma 2.2 settings that show a washed out image and a quick and easy fix.
SDR Color brightness performance is above the LG w-OLED monitors but the real show is when you enable HDR. True Black 400 will give you an overall fuller HDR experience but HDR Peak 1000 will increase Peak Highlights to a maximum of ober 1,000nits. From the Playstation 5 to a PC with an Nvidia GPU the image looks really good as the brightness impact and the sharpness of the OLED technology really work hand in hand to give you that amazing crisp picture.

You know what this is the first RUclipsr I think that I’ve seen that actually thinks about the problems no one thinks about I’m 23 and I’ve been on RUclips since I was 15 and this is the only guy that i have ever seen think about the unthinkable this is awesome and shows how to get the most out of a product also thank you and I know you will keep doing great work
I've been playing palworld in HDR on this thing and at night this thing blows my mind
Nice! I want to try that...😂
@2:12 looks like the packaging did its job perfectly. Protect items inside. Package performed flawlessly 👏🏾
@@erickhines4121 😂
PSA for anyone with external speakers you can get audio out of the USBc downstream port but only while using Displayport. I was able to get audio to mu AudioEngine speakers by using a USBc to 3.5mm adapter
Nice good to know. Guess that still doesn't help with sound if your using a console. I don't care about not having speakers in the monitor, but leave out a 3.5mm audio jack is ridiculous.
Grats on your alienware monitor!
@@shortyorc121 Thanks, its a gorgeous display but it is going back because I too have consoles hooked up to it and don't always want to use headphones. I will wait for one of the other displays to roll around and hope one has the 3.5 mm jack
Can you get an optical out that way?
@@Phil_529 I have not tried, you mean like daisy chain 2 displays?
@@walterwhite2148 No, TOSLINK optical out for audio.
i’d like to see a comparison of this one with the AW3423DW
Ordered this monitor on release but have to wait till the 29th for delivery, excited but do have a little buyers remorse with the monitor not offering display port 2.1 BUT I do love Alienware monitors and their warranty and customer service has always been top notch.
You will love it in HDR. In sdr i expected more wow factor but I do have alot to use from. Now time for some vs videos... this should win in HDR but sdr every monitor I have will win... only in brightness tho
Mine arrives on the 31st and I also have buyer's remorse for a couple reasons. 1) might not have the deep blacks I'm expecting and 2) micro scratches from the factory is unacceptable, regardless of the price point.
What do you need display port 2.1 for when it is 4k 240
Omg what a surprise. I was waiting for this video. This will be a treat
Thx vik. Best review. you put my mind at ease. should be getting mine in 4 days hopefully no scuffs
Congrats.!! Pls let me know how yours turns out.
@@DisplayReality ok 👍
did you got it willl you recomend it
@@sebixon-gl6qv my aw3225qf had display problems so had to return it. got the pg32ucdm now
@@waifoos3213 ouh sorry to hear that hope asus will be better (btw thx for answer)
Currently using the Samsung Neo G8 - curious to see a comparison between the two.
I have a strong urge to upgrade, but need to see the two side by side!
I know what you mean. That will be my first vs video in SDR and HDR. Its going to be interesting
cant wait for that one! sitting in the same boat.
El análisis que estaba esperando ---voy a verlo con calma y disculpa si te hago varias preguntas 😅
😂 no problem bro
You're awesome bro. Thank you for your informative reviews dawg.
Great review video! I love all the details you showed. This is still the monitor to buy.
Best monitor review channel by far! I personally am more interested in the 27", will you be reviewing that soon? If you can please confirm that the 27" works well with Nvidia GPU that would be appreciated man.
What is disappointing to me is that Dell went with a fake (tmds) HDM 2.1 on the 27" instead of true HDMI 2.1 (FRL) like this 32" which would've allowed it to run 1440p 360hz without any DSC...so lame and honestly misleading to the general public.
The 27" sounds nice but has less HDR brightness vs the 32". So SDR may be even lower. Just a thought..
@@DisplayReality are you going to review it?
Detailed review 👌. Keep it up 👍
The raised blacks and purple hues is what is putting me off these QD OLEDs but hearing that yours isn’t really an issue makes me feel better. I’m torn between the 2 asus models coming. Either the QD or the WOLED
The raised blacks is only when you have light or ambient light anywhere in front of the monitor. Here I had 4 lights behind it. Of course any brighter Im sure we would start to see lower contrast as light bounces of the walls.
Raised blacks were never a problem on QD-OLED when content is shown. Problem with WOLED is lacking colors when you first seen QD-OLED you will know what I mean. WOLED looks dim in terms of colors in comparison and LG needs to improve color volume BIG TIME ASAP unless they want to lower prices alot on WOLED because QD-OLED is king for now.
just to let you know, dolby vision being active in desktop and in video games that dont support it is a bug with nvidia drivers atm and possibly amd. some of the highlights may seem brighter but the picture is overall too bright and less accurate. rolling back to 546.17 drivers on nvidia and re selecting peak 1000 while in sdr fixes the issue. love your reviews and glad you got to this monitor. you were the reason I purchased the dell s3220dgf ages ago and I've finally upgraded to this beast. its a shame about the microscratches though as mine has them as well.
Awesome friend... that s3220dgf had a long life.. thx for the dolby vision info. Im not sure which driver I was on as I see currently there is a new one but did not update yet.
@@DisplayReality unfortunately the new one has the same bug. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Although from the notes those drivers don't add much thankfully besides support for the new Nvidia super cards
wow thank you for actually showing what %2 shows in screen
You did great-i like this a lot! Not a snowmans review, but very good. 272 nits on a 100% white sounds very strong.
I would kindly ask you to test the brightness in hdr true black 400 mode with 2- 25-50% etc..white window, like you did on 5:11 and what about the fan noise in a QUIET room?
Well done.
Funny thing is I heard maybe coil whine in sdr over hdr. I know that cannot be true so maybe it was breaking in. But in my time of of testing with hdr I heard no coil whine. It sounded like clicking in sdr when I first turned it on.
I purchased the AW3225QF this late spring. When I removed the screen protector, the pane had a very small smudge looking spot. It was not large, but noticable at the correct light angle. It appeared to me to be a residual from the adhesive used to stick the protective screen material to the panel. Micro cloth removed it with zero issues.
Also if you could please give us a notification when a firmware update does come out. I keep mine in srgb and haven't touched the Gama setting because I'm only gonna game on this
Brother @viktor, Do you think this new 32inch 4k OLED is a substantial upgrade from the NEO G8? I've got the Neo G8 and looking to upgrade if its finally worth upgrading. Would love to see a comparison between this monitor and the NEO G8.
Thanks in advance.
I will work on that next. Side by side in sdr and hdr. The Neo G8 looks brigjter in sdr with local dimming on. But hdr is where the alienware looks sharper due to oled. Im working on the video brother.. thx
@@DisplayReality ty bro, you the best
I guess the neo g8 has been dethroned easily.
Lol... I cant wait for that Vs video. That Ultra matte coating will surely be noticed now..
No. 🤡
Can you compare this to the Neo G8, I want to see blacks comparison
100% I am working on it asap
This monitor is what ive been waiting for! Soon this will be going under my 34UW
Nice! Congrats man..
@ViktorsReality I've seen some reviewers just saying that people need to skip this monitor all together but I'm not sure why, I don't do work with it .
@@mystycim for gaming no issues. Creative mode fix is just a reset away. Now shipping/micro scratches depend from monitor to monitor. I have never seen this on other monitors. Console works perfect too.
@ViktorsReality I don't have one on order yet but I'll be doing so soon as the budget allows it
For 1300$ plus it's 2024 it should have DP 2.1 tbh by the time 50 series it's out people will switch it out with a DP 2.1 monitor because once Nvidia goes DP 2.1 it gonna be mainstream but good video keep up the good work:)
Yeah it's a little annoying, I don't care about the compression, I don't believe I or any human can tell a difference and even when the higher spec ports become standrd, they are still going to be using DSC to drive even higher spec monitors anyway. But I do notice the clunkiness of alt tabbing without windowed mode.
I would like if it was possible for you to make a fan test and a thermal test see how hot the monitor gets it is the only reason why I will not buy this monitor because it has a fan
I will do have a heat temp meter and I will record coil if any.
Could you make please a video how to fix the EARC and the G-sync when using HDMI? Thank you
Great video Viktor, how long do you reckon we have to wait until we see 4K 360hz Qd oleds btw? 😜
Honestly No one expected MLA 2.0 this yr nor Gen 3 QD OLED panels. So they may surprise us sooner rather than later. Within 2 yrs Im thinking.. As both next yr RGB OLED from LG and QD OLED will be enchanced to be faster.
I love how this monitor has EARC, that means I can replace my very cheap TV with this monitor and still use my soundbar. but does this monitor have image upscaling for lower resolution content and does this monitor have motion interpolation (motion smoothing) like some Samsung monitors?
No smooth motion or tv like features that the Samsung version will have.
I tried your fix for the 2.2 gamma creator mode on this monitor and while it makes a difference, I believe it's still inaccurate, at least on my unit. It's no longer unusable, but darks still look over brightened and very meh. If I wanted those levels of darks, I might as well have just stuck with good ol' LCDs. In my opinion, the only way to get truly accurate image out of the monitor is to set it to either standard, one of the game modes, or console mode, and to use Novideo_srgb app for Nvidia or the option in the display driver for AMD to clamp the color gamut to srgb. The 2.2 gamma curve the monitor defaults to in the modes other than srg creator one is the most accurate gamma IMO. You can still see all the squares in the Lagom black level test, except the darkest one, and both the brights and darks look just about perfect to me. In console mode, it is also possible to use other gamma modes as well, but I would stick with 2.2 for accuracy. I really, really hope that Dell will release firmware that will bring 2.2 gamma from standard mode into srgb creator mode, so we can just set it and forget it, but I doubt it will happen... My aw3423dwf has a similar problem in creator 2.2 srgb mode and it has not been fixed yet. It seems as though they are targeting srgb gamma curve with it and not actual 2.2 gamma? I ain't no expert on this, but I do like my colors and image on monitors to be accurate and I personally feel that the latter just looks far nicer in the darks. You can still see detail, but it's not so obvious that it becomes too bright and ruins atmosphere in dark games and movies, like that srgb gamma curve does. Then again, I have never calibrated my monitors and don't know what actual proper srgb gamma is supposed to look like. All I know is that to me, the 2.4 is a bit too dark, the 2.2 creator is too bright, and the 2.2 one in other modes is just right (except the last lagom square not being visible, but it's no biggie).
Hey Thanks for the awesome review work :)
One quick qiestion. Currently in India , this monitor is costing 1300$ while the Neo g7 is costing just 650$. Given the brightness advantage of the neo g7 plus it costing literally half, do you think this Dell Oled monitor is worth getting over the neo g7 at twice the price ?
For SDR (SDR also looks like HDR with Local Dimming On) looks really good. HDR really is best on the Alienware. If I had to choose 1 and had a budget or more budget for other things the Neo G7 would be great at $650. I dont know the situation or room but the Neo is bright for pc amd consoles. That price is really good vs $1300..
very nice monitor! Thanks for review! 🥇
I think the 360hz qd-oled has this creator mode bug to. I unfortunately returned it since I don't like how games look in 1440p and I play a lot of competitive games that don't have Hdr support, and the sdr was just a little to dim for competitive play.
I do believe the 27" HDR caps at 930ish nits. Well according to digital trends and pc gamer. SDR is just ok here too. Once 300nits full field is hit that will be great.
@ViktorsReality My main thing is that the S95B has spoiled me lol, once the monitors look like that tv and also have the bt2020 color options, IM IN!
Why You dont like 1440p? Do you play competitive games on your 4K TV? I’m wondering which AW Oled I should buy.
@edimarrodrigrove3377 Well I was hoping the 1440p would make a bigger improvement in the more casual "graphics focused games" but coming from a 1080p monitor and a 4k tv, the difference just wasn't as noticeable as I'd hoped. Plus a lot of games now use Taa (temporal anti aliasing) which is made for 4k in mind. So I'm probably going to stay at 1080p for competitive at a 24in size and then a 4k tv for story games. What really held me back was the brightness, having a flat 250 nits just isn't engaging in games like fortnite or overwatch for me, I need 350+ to get that pop to the image, not just highlights in hdr.
@@edimarrodrigrove3377 If you want the most out of this panel, I would recommend waiting for the samsung models.
I replaced my AW3423 with this and my GODit is amazing
Nice! Congrats man..
Please put chapter timestamps so people can jump to a specific section of the video. For those here for the gamma 2.2 fix, it starts at 10:50
I did put it in description but its not showing up. Ill double check thx
When are you reviewing all new asus monitors
Do a vs video against the qd-oled ultra wide I want to know if it's worth upgrading to this 4k panel, or I might just end up adding it to the set-up
Yup... Ill have that video soon.
@@DisplayReality thanks papi
QD OLED is the way to go in my estimate, for the time being at least. This product will not disapoint
Could you recommend any AW settings for the Xbox series X / PS5? I play mostly Warzone and believe SDR is the way to go on this game, but if you have any other tips that would be great! I have brightness 90, contrast 65, Console mode On, and Smart HDR set as: Desktop (even though HDR on the console is off)
I like peak 1000 but I known it's too dark sometimes for even mw3. True black 400 seems good. For consoles you tried sports. It give more control and color vs standard in sdr.
@@DisplayReality Hi, Sports? where is that option - thanks again
I have an important update on my AW3225QF. I have noticed some bad uniformity on dark grays below 20% gray. It gets real ugly in a pitch black room in dark gray scenes in games when camera is panning. When examining test images, the 5 and 10% gray ones look like one of those old LG CX oled tvs with lots of blotches and stripes all over the screen. I then tested my Aw3423dwf using the same dark grey images and it has only a few tiny vertical stripes there that are hardly visible... This makes me so sad, as the AW3225QF is otherwise my perfect monitor and has no other problems with the image. The lighter colors all look very uniform and great. I wonder if I just got a particularly bad unit and should try an exchange. Urghh... Was really hoping to avoid playing panel lottery again. Lol
Bonjour maintenant à l’heure actuel quel réglage faire pour avoir la meilleur version hdr ? Merci encore
Will you being doing a review for the 27"
Not sure yet. It would be nice to compare vs the AW2723DF 280hz IPS...
Should I turn on console mode on this monitor when gaming on PS5? Does it change anything?
It lets you adjust saturation and hue. That may come in handy if you want more picture punch.
As some have already written, I don't have good strong colors in HDR on the PS5. I updated everything... no idea what to do.
Depending on preset. Have you tried the saturation option under console mode I believe.
How do updates get applied to this monitor? For example, does the monitor connect to WIFI directly for over the air updates?
No wifi updates on thenmonitor. Ill update asap as soon as I know its released and no issues on it. Ill update everyone.
Salut à toi j’hésite vraiment entre celui ci et le Asus pg32ucdm tu ferais quel choix ? Pour jouer au jeux triples À j’ai une 4090.
Merci encore pour ta vidéo !
Thank you friend. Both this and the PG32UCDM arw excellent. The PG32UCDM is more gamerish with more features and options. Dolby vision coming in march/april. Depending on price as long as the Asus does not cost more than $300 difference the Alienware is great. I have seen in france/EU the Asus costing up to 1700euros.
I’m still trying to learn about monitors, but why did you state in the video that you wouldn’t use hdr with creator mode? And also why choose srgb over dci-p3? Thanks and I enjoyed the review overall
Hi... I would just use standard as it has more color pop (a small bit oversaturated to a trained eye) vs creator which has more toned down accurate colors for creative purposes. It all depends on which you use on dcip3 vs srgb. I have always used srgb for content.
@@DisplayReality Oh ok I see. Thank you
Can’t wait to see flat 32 inch 4K OLED!
Nice review. What are the color specs?
I got 98%dci p3 and 100% srgb
La causa de las microrayas son las burbujas esas en un panel brillante en el Asus y LG no lo vas a ver porque usan mate y el cubrimiento es más fuerte. Si miras los Samsung ultraview no traen esas rayas porque si le colocan un lámina protectora como debe ser , hasta los TV LG traen esa protección , no entiendo como 👽 no sean capaces de cambiar eso
La cosa es que tambien los veo en el aw3423dw pero no en el samsung oled G8 34". Vamos a ver el los otros qd oled's
I received my aw3225qf last week Friday in Hdr colors wash out, in Sdr colors have way more vibrancy this also happens in games. Sdr way more color in Hdr washed out colors. My question to you. Did you have to add color with the nvidia settings "Digital Vibrancy" or did it look washed-out right out of the box when you applied Hdr the very first time? Only when I add digital vibrancy am I floored by the color reproduction in HDR Mode.
Seems like it’s a Dolby vision bug going on that is doing that
@@redx566 Maybe red, that's one possibility out of dozens I could come up with. I'm thinking just return it and wait for the other variations coming. Then I'll have to carry my last monitor back downstairs the 55" S90c. It was giving me a lot of eyestrain.
There is a new firmware update. Ill test asap. Everyone should update
@@DisplayReality specifically for the Dolby vision? Or the one released on February 6th?
Anybody know what’s the soccer game he’s playing?
Pixel cup soccer its on steam
Im just a gamer so do you think standard mode are enough on games? But i noticed the sport mode are more vibrant.
Whats your brightness settings on games or in hdr mode?
In hdr I do like peak 1000 over true black 400. I like those highlights. For sdr I just keep it on standard but other presets do enable more options. Whatever looks best to you is best. Ill check other options out
I wish somebody would make a larger one somewhere between 38 and 42 in❤🎉
Using srgb in HDR1000 mode makes absolutely zero sense that's why it looks washed out, HDR should always use dcip3
DCI-P3 changes the colors for sure but its not that washed. The errors can be seen on screen when changing vs other gamma settings. There is a glitch and needs to be fixed.
@@DisplayRealityWhen you swap to HDR it either emulates sRGB for non HDR content or shows DCI-P3/BT.2020 for HDR.
do we have any kind of date (like, months not just first half of 2024) for when the DP 2.1 4k 32inch 240hz monitors may release? Eg the aorus
Just april so far I have heard
Which preset do you use in HDR? Especially in Demon’s souls, looks amazing! Also, how do I prevent Dolby Vision kicking on and only HDR 1000? Dolby Vision looks like shit in games.
I use so far HDR peak 1000. Dolby vision will not turn on, on the ps5. On xbox disable it in the xbox menu if needed. On PC? I still need to see as its on by default. But Im guessing a similar way in windows. Im on win 11.
@@DisplayReality Do you use any of the actual presets? Like RPG, creator, game 1, etc? Or do you use custom settings?
Had firmware updates fixed the hdr issues yet?
I am getting mine in 2 days. If this isn’t fixed I’ll return it and get the MSI
Want to see a comparison between this and the MSI. Is it worth the price premium?
That 3yr burn in warranty is premium. They should be very close on screen quality.
Great monitor
Just canceled my order I can’t justify spending $1200 when the screen comes with scratches on it
I have seen more reports on these micro scratches. Not evreyone seemes to have them but alot do.
Awesome monitor but unacceptable I’ll just wait asus or lg reviews
Bro can you test Alan wake 2 pc and resident evil 2 or 3 or 4 pc with this monitor ?
I have them for the series X is that ok?
@@DisplayReality I love to see pc gameplay. What games do you have in your pc ryt now ?
@@sajithsaji3606 I have alot of old stuff on PC lol. Ill make a wallpaper engine vid and show my games so maybe everyone can take a look so I can demo. All pc game pass stuff too.
@@DisplayReality that's awesome bro. Test some dark environment Pc games like batman, outlast, dying light, Alan wake 2, resident evil series
Will you be reviewing the AW OLED 27 inch?
Not sure yet. Depends on msi release of the US. I have a aw2723df to compare so that would be good vs the AW2725df
For $1200, it should have come with more audio outputs like a headphone jack and optical out.
Still doesnt come close to my 3 year old Asus pg32UQX hdr 1400 max highlights @ 1700 nits. With 1152 dimming zones it can bloom from time to time but HDR 1700 is crazy cool. I might still have to pick up one of these 32 inch monitors. I had the AW34 ultra wide and returned it within two weeks(way too blurry and dim) Maybe the 32 will change my mind ❤
UQX is terrible with blooming! I mean really bad! Brighter but at what cost it’s not worth it! Uniformity and dead pixels it’s a no go for me
i wouldnt have even noticed, but i also have those scuff marks if i hold flash light up. the seem to be more at the top
Its hard to see for sure. But I only lt checked because of my DW..
The colors are so washed on my monitor. I tried doing the fix at the end of the video but it didn’t work. Hopefully this is something that will be fixed in a firmware update… so far very disappointed in this
HDR mode you want DCI-P3, sRGB is for SDR non HDR usage so it's not really a fix. the freesync version of the ultrawide alienware also has this bug and afaik it never got fixed. Either way I'm returning my 3225QF and staying with my C2 waiting for more monitors to come out. I wasn't super impressed with QD-OLED, yes its better but not huge, 240hz is huge but I'd rather wait for the flat panels and one that has audio out. How Dell didn't put audio out on this monitor is beyond me.
Alienware said "ppl now days use usb speakers or headsets". That is still no excuse! 3.5mm should have been here.
Yep, even LG puts optical out on their monitors like their TVs. I have a soundcard to get audio from all my consoles hooked up via hdmi to my PC where I use speakers or headphones out of my DAC/AMP. The Alienware monitor forced me to buy an $80 switcher box from Orei to keep the same setup working and further cluttering my desk. @@DisplayReality
Bonjour conseille tu de l acheter pour la ps5 ?
So for pc gaming in hdr do you recommend the true black 400 mode or the peak 1000?
I prefer peak 1000. But if you find it overall too dark the 400 lifts the whole image at the cost of highlights.
So have you also run into the issue that it’s nearly impossible to turn off Dolby Vision? No matter what HDR mode I’ve chosen (even in dell display manager) Dolby Vision just overrides and blows everything out.
Only on pc though. Console works just as intended
Go to the Dolby vision settings and set it to off that will use hdr instead of dv
What r the setting I should be on if I’m only connected to my Xbox series x? I just got the monitor today
Do you still have your Sdr settings?
@@Lastrono try sports mode. It brightens up the picture. Or enable console mode for saturation control
Can I use HDR on games which doesnt support it, Like World of Warcraft ?
Not sure if that supports auto hdr. Its all windows to decide
Ok thank you ! :) @@DisplayReality
why would you not keep it in DCI-P3 being QD-OLED, whole point is to take advantage of the wider color gamut no?
Just showing that specific issue as reported by others online. Specfically 2.2 gamma. It works as it should otherwise.
no 3.5 mm headphone jack is upsetting, means I will need to buy new speakers when theres nothing wrong with my current ones
I also think they skipped on that important feature.
How is the curve compared to the 34DW? Watching the video it looks like the curve is too aggressive to me at 1600R vs 1800R with the 34DW which is the only thing that has me reconsidering this monitor. I'm not sure a curve is necessary at 32 inches.
Trust me it not curved much. I had the camera 40% vertical below the center so I did see the aggressive curve look. When I do a vs video it will not show as much. When playing on this I never noticed the curve up close.
Will you get the Asus QD OLED and Gigabyte one?
The Asus and Samsung for sure.. I just need to have the brightest version. We shall see which on wins.
So just earc for sound. Such a shame.
Edit: Great video! I'll be waiting for the other brands to come out with this panel.
More brands will even have more features. Plus this might drop in price once they do..
you can use a 3.5mm adapter or usb-c to usb-c.
@@rahb2096 and sound will come out? Are you sure?
@@rahb2096 so usb-c to 3.5mm jack?
@@shortyorc121 yea
please upload this on hdr
Is there any ABL in SDR mode?
I have not seen any in gaming. This Alienware look to be the brightest so far out of MSI and Asus so far in SDR
Does it dim back and forth ASBL?
Also any test on input lag?
I will abl test with street fighter as I have done on LG W-OLEDS. Anything specific you would like me to test?
Just how aggressive the abl is. Most people hate it so wondering how it holds up say compared to a s95b or something along those lines. Of course the LG SF test you did was awesome and clearly displayed some aggressive ABL. thank you for that as that saved me a return. If there is a way to test input lag on the 27 inch when you do that review that would also speak volumes as to how it compares to the ASUS 360hz IPS which was pushing under 2 MS input lag.
Faut il activer le hdr dans Windows 10 ou désactiver ? Avec ces réglages ? Avant un jeu faut activer dans Windows 10 le hdr ou pas besoins ? Merci par avance
After switching to creator and switching between srgb and dcip3, it almost seems to permanently raise black levels
Like no matter what I do with hdr mode now it just looks washed out
Select gamma 2.2 then Just reset HDR on and off. It should go back like in the video. But I usually use standard anyway after i reset.
@@DisplayReality thanks
Should i buy it?
This is an awesome monitor. I love it. Ill show more soon.
NEO G8 OR this Alienware ?
Its tough.. oled is best in hdr i think but im making a vs video soon to test both
you're the best Vik ..... i want to decide between these 2 monitors...yeah i know its hard...i will use with mac mini and ps5...i wait ur video@@DisplayReality
i read some issues about easily having an eye strain using this monitor. do you find this true ?
I saw the same thing. I'm assuming brightness can be dimmed a bit. We are probably talking about the same review. The guy may have been sitting too close and set the brightness high. I would have brightness around 70% and have blackout curtains on the windows. No matter how they sell it, OLED is meant for dark rooms. Pushing more brightness on these products is diverting people from their optimal environment and then they complain about it being bas and overhyped.
Thats the effect of 1000nits in a dark room. Go for 400max and some light behind the monitor you will be fine.
True Black 400 is brighter vs SDR mode so that may be best fot many. HDR PEAK 1000 does have strong peak highlights. So that may hurt ppls eyes
Which input is better to use with this monitor on PC? HDMI 2.1 or DP 1.4?
Use DP 1.4 and use the other ports for media or gaming devices. You should be fine.. I have it this way
@@DisplayReality that was what my gut what telling me but technically HDMI 2.1 so I wasn't sure if that made a difference
Do you think this monitor is better than Samsung's Odyssey Neo G7/G8?
It is clearer and HDR is really good plus it's OLED. But.. it's not as impactful in sdr and hdr modes especially in gaming. It's faster and clearer but not better just different. Many ppl have different needs. I like an impactful image and the Neos give me that.
Hey. I have the aw3225qf but there is something that drives me crazy... There is flickering with G-Sync turned on. It's mainly in situations with gray on the screen like in dark situations which are not 100% black or a little bit lighter. It does happen in loadingscreens too.
Is that a common issue for that monitor?
Is it a common issue for OLED monitors?
I tried it without G-Sync and everything worked perfectly fine. But without G-Sync the games doesn't feel as smooth as with it and have screen-tearing.
Could anyone tell me if that is normal and if other OLED monitors (like the Asus pg32ucdm) doesn't have this issue?
It's really really sad that this has VRR flickering because if it wouldn't have it, it would be a perfect monitor.
I'm thinking about returning it because that isn't acceptable for 1000 bucks to be honest.
(Latest Firmware is installed)
Would be really nice if anyone can help!
hey , which setting should i put on my ps5 , the hdr is all the time on. so i wanne know if hdr 1000 or hdr true black is better for brighter
HDR 400 is best overall. The 1000 peak give you really bright peaks but the brightness overall is dimmer.
thank you very much @@DisplayReality
Any fan noise?
I have not heard any lately. Like it went away. And it was in sdr mode is when O heard it before. Weird...
For ps5 you can just use the pulse 3d headset tho right for sound?
Yes.. 100%
Is there any 32" OLED with realglass finnish? Omen? Is there more
No real glass yet. Other then Doughs new glass clear screens. Thats what has been announced or previewed so far.
I'm pretty sure the brown cardboard is added to replace the platic foams to protect the enviornment. And this is rather a costy solution. Do we not care about sustainability?
Pixio and Gigabyte add multi layer foam and the box is smaller. If Im paying over 1k it should be better protected. Ppl wont care unless it happens to them on receiving a broken monitor.
Does the Asus monitor come out this month?
Prob late feb/march
Hello guys it seems that this monitor has some issue about compatibility with few nvidia gpu when its connect with hdmi 2.1, do you know this ?
The updates do help fix that. Its dolby vision thru hdmi. I use DP. But Ill update mine to the newest firmware and check..
@@DisplayReality im on the latest update and still issue with hdmi 2.1 on my 4090 so i use dp
is this monitor a big upgrade from neo g7? i think i should be reasonable n wait next year o,,o
In HDR its a nice difference. But the price... another 1k for a glossy crisper picture.. not sure its worth it. But its still good if you come from something $300-500 tier
Hey , i have it on hdr 1000 but if i turn the console mode on , i can only change my hdr setting. Is that normal
display cable or hdmi 2.1 cable? does it even matter?
If you can use hdmi 2.1. Its better vs 1.4 dp
@@DisplayReality thx for the reply..! but how so for the technically challenged like me?
@@awclewis more bandwith for better overall colors. Display port is for versatility or multi monitors.
