  • The specs of the Alienware AW2725DF are insane. It's a 360 Hz QD-OLED monitor with a glossy, flat 1440p panel. But it does some weird stuff you should know about.

    I did some additional tests: All preset modes are affected by the dimming except for the Creator preset (sRGB and DCI-P3 mode). The same dimming behavior also happens below 100% brightness, but the jump in nits is not as steep as at max brightness. For example: At 50% brightness it's a jump from about 117 nits to 99 nits.

      Oleds are actually best at lower brightness, even LCD panels have problems when increasing the brightness of the backlight for SDR.. A drop in image quality effects LCD panels at higher brightness levels.. sadly :(

    When you referenced issues with colour accuracy, keep in mind that DCI-P3 is a cinema standard, it is meant to have a green tint due to the format of cinema projectors. White point should be X 0.3140, Y 0.3510 which is closer to 6300K.

      Good point! I'm referencing Display P3 with a D65 white point here. The measured white point is xy 0.3155 0.3549, so it's still a bit off from the DCI Theater white point.

Excellent video and thank you very much for the information.

      I bought it on the dell online shop like 2,5 weeks ago. I loved it the first day. On the second day all of a sudden it made a little sound and the monitor was black. I checked it and it still was detectable for my pc as a second monitor but it did not show anything. Not even the menu saying "no signal" or sth like that. I returned it to dell. UPS tracking makes it possible to see that Dell got it back 7 days ago. But the support is the worst nightmare i have ever seen: No updates, no communication after the returning.. it is terrible. I checked the amazon website in germany. You cannot buy this product at the moment. On May 5th a customer comments that his one was broken too. I feel like there might be some bigger issues with some produced alienwares 2725df.... I am so upset and cannot recommend it because of that. I should have gone for msi instead.

    @techlessYT I was very surprised to see that you have kept the Philips Evnia 8600. I use this monitor, too and like it very much, save for the sometimes noticeable fan.
    I have two questions hoping you can help me out:
    Do you, by any chance, know whether the sRGB mode active in SDR mode influences the HDR mode, or not? I've heard there are some monitors that do that, it is usually recommended to always disable sRGB in SDR mode before turning on HDR which would be a bit annoying.
    And lastly...do you have calibration data for the Philips? I know these are not universally transmissible for all units of the same model, but I guess trying yours over not having a calibration at all could stil, be benefitial. ^^
    Thanks in advance.

  • @ayo0069
    @ayo0069 4 месяца назад +3

    a little reminder, to test real world motion performance in pursuit, you need to match the relative target speed to the relative resolution.
    what matters in game is the amount of movement in degrees/time not amount of pixels shifted/time.
    rotating your viewpoint 103° will make 1920 pixels shift on a FHD monitor, 2560px on a QHD one, etc.
    So with increased resolutions you also need to increase the pursuit target speed.

    curious to know, what's the reason of recommending the Gamer mode for any custom adjustments over the "Custom" color mode? It seems like they are identical, however Gamer modes have the Black Stabilizer setting available too (which you wouldn't use for calibration anyways). and Standard is equal to all Gamer + Custom modes when they are set to default. Is this correct or am I missing something?

    • @techlessYT
      @techlessYT  4 месяца назад

      Yeah it's the black stabilizer. I always recommend the mode that gives the most accurate results. And if there's more than one I recommend whichever offers the most options.

    Almost bought this - it's actually cheaper than other premium alternatives in my region, for whatever reason. Glad I waited for your review though! Idk, just seems like we're still on the "caveat era" of OLED monitors. Brightness snake oil, distracting reflections, color fringing... Looks amazing, but I'm sticking with my S2721DGF for now. Great video!

    Considering Samsung got in hot water for cheating on their TVs in a similar fashion, makes me wonder if it's on them instead of Alienware. Which isn't great seeing as other manufacturers are going to use the panel too, but fortunately glad that in normal cases it's still good enough.

    Could you evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the S27DG60、FO27Q3 and AW2725DF? It has been confirmed that the A/D boards of the S27DG60 and the AW2725DF are from different manufacturers. Although it is widely known that Samsung's warranty for burn-in issues is not very consumer-friendly, making an extended warranty meaningless to consumers, haha!
    I'm also confused about the details of FO27Q3's HDMI 2.1 and DP1.4... whether it's superior to SS's 10G/4L, and whether the PS5's maximum 4K mapping can achieve 120Hz? What about VRR status? Can DSC be turned off manually? Also, what IC is used on the A/D motherboard?
    Additionally, I suggest that your future LCD monitor reviews include an introduction to the A/D board for each model.
