I can't decide which monitor to buy. Should I buy the alienware AW2725DF,AW3225QF or the msi mpg 271qrx?
I play multiplayer and story games equally, but currently more story games. Currently less multiplayer because I'm still waiting for my new internet connection. My current monitor is 13 years old and it's simply not worthy of my new 2k usd PC.
3:50 pause
3:50 you beat off everyone in the lobby?
except of me
Just went from last years lg 27" 240hz oled to this, and WOW its crazy how much better it is in every aspect. Super impressed, and dell is doing a great job pumping out firmware updates to fix any issues
Dam really ? Is the coating that much better ? I’m planing to do the same switch
@akaEnDeD the coating is better, but really its just the overall picture quality. The lg colors were very dull and text fringing was bad. I essentially couldnt use gsync as it caused bad flickering as well. the Alienware fixes all of that. Colors are vibrant, text is crisp, and no vrr flickering so far!
@@nickjacobsss dam , I might have to sell the lg and get this then , thanks
I have both LG from last year and just grabbed this Alienware last week. Both make me happy - you made a great choice regardless!
I think I’m getting the 27gs95qe over this AW. Allot of people are complaining about the issues
It’s amazing use it every day
Off topic but how do people pay $300+ for a grovemade desk? I don’t get where the cost comes from. The tray alone is like $120
If it wasn't for the limited USB C port and lack of KVM feature I would definitely be interested.
Problems with burn-in?
Can you do work productivity/stream without having to hookup a laptop. Or will I need to invest into one
If it wasn't curved and had dp2.1 port would have made it end game for me.
This!
Trust me curved is far superior , i went curved 2 years ago with benq and now the flat panels are very very weird to me , I have to reset my brain every time I watch movies on my sony bravia a90 oled , it takes me 30 min to get use with the flat panel
Dpi 2.1… explain why?
@@An_Enraged_Pig Two and a half times the bandwidth of 1.4 DP for high refresh 4k gaming without digital stream compression.
Guess I'm ordering one.
How is the curve on it? I need to use this for programming and gaming. I am typically not a fan of steep curves so I hope it is on the minimal side of it.
From what I’ve heard it’s a very minimal curve
How does the snow scene in RDR2 look in this monitor?
What hdr setting are you using for ps5 and is there any other settings you changed for ps5?
Apparently nobody mentions eARC for soundbars, thats real quality sound and dell is the only one supporting it
Any recommended eARC soundbars to go with this monitor?
Hey @MinimalisTech, I live in a trailer home and at the moment I'm on house arrest. In your opinion, do you think I should get this monitor to play overwatch 2 and OSU or should I pay my court fees? Thanks.
Court fees. I get the temptation but you knew what people were gonna tell you to do lol
Obviously this monitor
Does using the HDMI 2.1 port limit ur frames to 120? Or is that only at 4k?
Hi, nice review dude👌
Other reviews have stated that the coding makes the black more gray or purple during the day or in a light room, but a deep black at night like other Oleds, what do you think?
And I saw on Reddit that a lot of people have scratches on the screen, no problem for you?
I have the LG 32GQ950-B 4k IPS but it's the year of the OLED🤩 maybe it's a good time for me to buy one🤔
Many thanks man👊
Ah you know what, I’m in my basement with this away from natural light. I’ll see if I can move and compare
@@MinimalisTechthanks man, over all this monitor looks very good, HDR looks nice
What's your HDR settings for the PS5? cause i saw no HGiG on this monitor, but Dolby Vision, HDR 400, HDR 1000
Hey bro i just got this monitor and im using Gsync but can you make a video showing your nvidia control panel settings? wanna make sure everything is correct
I own it but i wish it was 27" 4k as i perfer a higher PPI over a larger screen. Also wish it had a DP 2.1 port for the 5000 series of gpus whenever they release.
You don’t need 2.1 for the 5000 series
What mount are you using
The C3 has a few issues but I still think it’s a great choice for its price. That is if you can tolerate the size. The monitor is going to feel and be quicker even if on console. I have a C3 and a 27” Asus OLED and I mainly play on the 27”. I mainly play shooters though and it just feels much better
What are your thoughts on the C3 glossy coating vs the Asus matte ?
@@carloscorona3143 I play in a fairly dark room so I’m actually fine with both. The colors on the C3 pop more due to the glossy coating.
What speakers do you use? Mine arrives tomorrow, moving from oled tvs, after this was recommended to me.
Kanto YU4s. Love them!
What's the solution to the monitor's "no sound option" when it comes to PS5? Can you plug in a USB-DAC (like the Logitech ones) and they will then work with a headset?
This is what truly kept me away from this, a audio jack should have been added. You can still use your PS5 headset, but if you want sound you need to buy a eArc/Arc soundbar
Beating off every single person in every lobby is CRAZY 😂😂😂
The thing that a lot of reviews mention… if you look closely at the display, it has micro scratches/blemishes on it. This is present on almost all of them and has long plagued the Alienware DW 34 inch QD OLED. It has to do with how they package it and tape scratchy wrap to the screen. I know because I have had 3 of them that all had it. It is present on this display and other RUclips videos show it. Some people just don’t look closely at their screen. Under light, it’s there.
Cool info. Except they just said they'll change packaging to avoid this so no one really cares anymore.
@@xhydrox when did they say that? Reviews posted within the last 2 weeks say it has micro scratches and scuffs/smudge. Did they fix it in the last 2 weeks? If so, I would buy this 100%. But until I know I’m not paying a $1,000+ for a screen with scratches on it, I’ll pass.
@@erichagele Folks reporting that new packaging is effect (no more scratches) also the new shipments come with updated firmware
Anyone in the uk had one yet. Thinking about it but worried about scratches on screen. Apparently alot of people end up with damaged sceens. Is this still an issue?
won't that light bar cause raised blacks on this monitor which does not have a polarizer?
Not if you aim it right... if it's throwing a bit BEHIND the monitor, it actually HELPS.
Regarding the intro, it's very easy to believe where else top end monitors can go from here:
- Screen coatings could get way better. Currently our two options are super reflective with raised/purple-looking blacks in any environment that isn't a batcave, or a coating that's so matte the image looks like it's been dimmed and covered in vaseline.
- Brightness needs to be improved, once again, in any environment that isn't pitch black
- Firmware needs to be usable at launch. Seriously, have there ever been any flagship OLEDs that have been good to go without massive bugs on release day? Even this monitor is STILL super buggy on the most up-to-date firmware that came out a few days ago, and it's been available for about 2 months. Since we don't know what goes on behind the scenes, it gives the appearance that the monitor devs, GPU devs, and Windows devs are all shunning each other.
- Longevity is probably an issue but we won't know for sure until a few years have passed. My secondary display was ASUS' LCD flagship from 8 years ago and the image is still as bright and crisp as the day I bought it. My OLED will probably have degraded to the point of unusability in that amount of time.
I'm not saying OLEDs are bad in general, I'm just saying it's obvious where they need to go from here.
Those are just optimizations tho. No new groundbreaking tech until what he said in the video.
I love the quality content and love your narration in the video great video as always 😊
What would you recommend: this one or a Lg c3 42” if having a 80cm deep desk? I mainly play non-competitive.
I think it depends on what you plan to do. I’ve done the C3 42” recently for my monitor too and it was awesome. For non comp games the C3 would still crush
@@MinimalisTechplease can u help with the right settings for ps5? Should i use game mode on or off? The best hdr setting? Also if im watching a movie should i change the settigs?
8k high-rate. Wow it’s been a while. 10 years ago: 1080 144 was crazy to achieve with a 770 sli. Now 8k 120, probably two years from now. In 10 years will be nuts… VR lifelike (hopefully)
For gamers, it is peak of gaming needs.
For $1,200 is a bit too much for work productivity. Most people get a lot of work done with a 27-inch 4k 60 fps monitors. Dell and Asus Pro Art have a high color accurate 4k 60hz refresh rate monitor that works great for professionals. One for $300 and one for $630.
Unfortunately in many cases Pre built PCs are now cheaper than sourcing the parts and building it yourself. I recently built a new PC with a 4090. While I still enjoy picking the specific parts that I want and having a machine I know is upgradable, if I would've have bought an Alienware 4090 pre built with the many deals that Dell offers, I would have saved around $1200.
As lucrative as crypto can be sourcing affordable GPUs is tough! I had a follow up video after this talking about going prebuilt haha
cheers,
WHOA ! at 11 other people per lobby, at only 5 lobbies per day. he is beating off 55 people a day or even 60 if he beats himself off. imagine a higher lobby count. i hope hes charging for those services
2880p high refresh monitors will be out before 8k high refresh monitors. 8k gaming is overkill anyway
Is it better than the Lg 27 oled that you review ?
as someone who owned both, yes absolutely. no text fringing, better colors and brightness as well
Tip for future videos, you go off topic quite a bit, would be nice if you stick the product you are reviewing and not trying to flex about other products or how you play in a game. otherwise the camera shots and footage of the monitor were great!
3:50 hehe
1 thing to remember. in tech world, there is no thing as END GAME. Tech evolves so much and soon 4k 240hz will be meh and 360hz monitors in 4k will be the next big thing and then 8k monitors in some years time, etc etc
"claps cheeks for console gaming" was so unnecessary and i love it 😂😂
Not roasting buying a pre-built, just roasting buying an alienware pre-built :D, it is odd they have good keyboard, mouse, monitor, but their PC's are so bad in the new model you have they throttle the CPU to keeps tempts down :/
How is this end game without dp 2.1?
Bro you got realize most people don’t have the rigs for 2.1 so basically you need like a 4090 with the top end cpu, and even then you might not be utilizing the 2.1 to its max. It’s almost pointless to go for 2.1 because maybe 5 percent of gamers even have specs to utilize 2.1 to the fullest.
@@An_Enraged_Pig i have a 4090 and plan on getting a 5090. So for me, this isn't "end game" But I get it, shits expensive.
I hope people will compare the 32" 4K experience to simply the 34" 3440x1440 experience.
I currently have the Samsung G8 3440x1440 at 175 hz.
I like it a lot.
I remember one time having a 32" monitor and it did seem superior for sniping in games like Apex Legends.
But for all-round use I think I may prefer 21:9. I'm tempted to just get both...!
@3:50 PAUSE!
What are you doing to every single person in every single lobby?
Respawns simulator 😂😂😂
Lol @ "claps cheeks"
lgc3 still looks better
No not at all
yes @@NexGenTek
@@vincent6210 no
No 16:9 monitor is endgame. Ultrawide or nothing. Not playing in some old as hell aspect ratio.
Yeah but what if you wanted to play console and PC games, 21:9 only supports Pc rn m8
I will get this when they have discounts.
Dell has frequent discounts mind you.
