      you are talking about calibration. But you arent using Calibration tools ..like I1Display Pro and such but you are subjectively changing sliders on your own. Why? Calibration tools aren't expensive and are super useful tools to bring best out of your monitor thru ICC or ICM files..and when buying a monitor of that price i mean its better to get best visual quality out of it

    TL;DR = Make sure you adjust the settings after you get it.
    I got mine yesterday, I was so disappointed. It was too dim, and the text looked terrible. This replaced my Aorus 46" OLED. Then while I was testing it on RUclips, I got to Dolby Vision, and realized it was turned off, so I went in (after turning HDR off in Windows - why it has to be in order to change anything I don't know), had HKR1000 on, brightness up to 100, Creator mode, and turned Dolby Vision on - BAM! What a difference!! Holy cow THIS was the monitor I was hoping for.

  • @Madblaster6

    The one downside for all QD-Oled monitors is they don't have true HDR 1000 only at 10% apl. A full white screen you get less than 200 nits. For SDR content, there's nothing better but not bright enough for HDR.

    • @Superdazzu2
      @Superdazzu2 5 месяцев назад

      Depends on the game and content, very bright apl scenes suffer but mid and low apl scenes look amazing. (fyi it's around 500 nits at 10% window)

    • @Madblaster6
      @Madblaster6 5 месяцев назад

      @@Superdazzu2 I agree but I watch a lot of HDR content using MPC and Madvr. Dark scenes look fantastic but as soon as a daytime scene appears or a snow scene it looks noticeably bad. On the “bright” side when I get flash banged in a game it’s not harsh. At this point I keep the monitor at true black and raise the gama slightly and these scenes are slightly brighter at full apl. I don’t get the amazing highlights that 1000nit provides but it’s a good trade off for bright scenes not looking horrific and the Abl being super distracting.

Been on my Alienware 34" dwf for a year and a half now and I can't kill this thing. Over 8 hours a day and it only does one pixel refresh a day "when I shut it down" And have done 5 panel refresh's already and I even removed the anti reflection coating and it still works like a brand new unit right out of the box and have absolutely zero burn in even with my lack of oled care maintenance. These monitors are tanks and I cant wait for Alienware to eventually release a 39" or 45" 4k ultrawide like lg is doing later this year or early next year.. I love my 34" dwf but I'm ready for an upgrade to a bigger oled ultrawide.

    I bought this one and it's cousin the 1440p 27 inch one at the same time and tested both of them for a couple weeks.
    I just couldn't send this one back. I already own a decent 1440p IPS panel for a secondary, and the 32 inch 4k is so gorgeous I just couldn't part with it. Felt like a REAL upgrade. Looks perfect sat on my desk. And even with a mix of FSR/XeSS/Super Resolution/Frame Gen etc on more difficult to run games like Stalker 2 / Cyberpunk where I want over 60 FPS minimum still, it looks and feels better than native on the 1440p OLED / 1440p IPS panel, so it was a no brainer to keep. Plus consuming content generally is much better 4k and I never had an issue with reading text (something I hear happens with OLEDs)
    Think I found my endgame monitor for 5+ years now, and the warranty is so good they'll cover burn in as well, so abuse it as much as you want!

    I was lucky to purchase this monitor from Amazon for 829£ ''Used as New'' condition but when arrive I did not spot a single defect/scratch. Really good monitor. Great colors, great responsive, great sharpness. Only ''whites'' are not as I would expect but this is possibly a nature of Oled panel. One thing I can complain so far is that I cannot update a firmware, even I used a cable provided by manufacturer.
    Ps. If You are moving from a good IPS 2k (approx 240hz) monitor do not expect a miracle. It will be better but not as good as expected, in my opinion.

    I have a fairly bright room with windows and the glossy panel and matte panel of my two monitors are basically indistinguishable. The only thing tell them a part is that the IPS has backlight bleed times a billion and the OLED has better blacks and inferior whites. The OLEDs colors are so much better though. It is hard to put my finger on how the colors are better, they just are. Both monitors are dope af though. One is my work monitor for all the static windows, the other is for gaming and content or looking at pretty things.

    I’m just not sure what setting I should use with this monitor? Should I juts use it for games?
    Also… if I may suggest, could you add the name of the games you are playing when you do your demos :( I want to buy them sometimes, but I can’t find them anywhere. I remember you made a video about another Alienware monitor and I wanted that game but I have no idea what game it is!

    Once you start playing all worries disappear. This is a gorgeous display, oled panels are a major leap forward in pc gaming display fidelity. Long anticipated for good reason. The high refresh is the icing on the cake.
    Aside from increnental improvements in refresh rate and brightness, I dont see a major generational movement like this until micro LED tech arrives in this segment. Could be another decade away.

    The deal breaker for me with this monitor is that it didn't have a 3.5mm audio jack. I like to connect my speakers to my monitor so I can have sound output for both my PC and PS5. Because of this, and the fact that I prefer flat over curved, I did pay the $100 extra price tag on the ASUS PG32UCDM. However, at the current discount of the Alienware right now of $999, If I was in the market now, I would prob get the alienware for $300 less, and just get a cheap ARC soundbar for the PS5 and pocket the rest.

      Why then not just plug in a soundbar??! This Monitor uses EARC that will Pump Audio Into that and just plug Headphones into that.., I'm sure there's loads of Soundbars with 3.5mm Audio Jack Audio Passthrough!! Then anything you've connected to this Display.., PS5 & or PC will Push Audio to your headphones.., you could even just use a standard Analog Mixer.., or PC Audio DAC..., the latest Wireless Steel Series Headphones come with a solid ESS Sabre Processor Chip.. ((One that's been held in high esteem within the Audiophile / Tech Community!!)) Just do your research and check reviews.. a TON of the older headsets even just a few years ago have bad quality plastic that cracks and breaks.., better opt for the one's known to not have a bad reputation for breakage!! You can also just purchase a Steel Series DAC individually and pipe Audio out from your Optical Out on PS5 & PC into that!! It's kinda sucky to use HDMI for Quality Audio.., when you've the option for Low Latency SPDIF Digital Optical Outputs!! IT's Literally Light Speed Fiber Optics.., and no radio / WiFi-magnetic interference you'll always get using wired outputs on thick long cables such as HDMI..,. and extended wires going from your Consoles into headphones!! You'll ALWAYS have Analogue at the END of you Chain.., NO Headphones are PURELY Digital Afterall! That's precisely why you need a DAC ((Digital-To-Analogue-Converter)) So you'd still have a 3.5mm cable going from your DAC into INCLUDED or WHATEVER Headphones you've plugged into ANY DAC you've got piped into your AUDIO Pipe-Line.., either that.., or if you've a DAC that includes a pair of Wireless Headphones.., then you'd skip that 3.5mm entirely!! I don't understand why you'd want to piggy-back the Standard Audio that comes LOADED with HDMI Signal Processing Delay and such.., from your PC & Console to Headphones UNLESS your planning to JSUT plug in a Soundbar to this Alienware Monitor's EARC.., which is what that's for.., since It's NOT critical to get PERFECT Sound using External Speakers like a Sound Bar.., and you'd MOST-CERTAINLY wouldn't have a need for EARC for a Headphone-Focused Setup!! UNLESS monitors grow major legs and Feature Creep in a TON of extra's like a NICE DAC Processor Natively built in.., your expecting WAY too much out of what's meant to be a DISPlay-FoCUSED-Periphery!! That'd just Jack up the Price and Put off potential Customers.., thus.., it's STANDARD usually for folks to separate their Display Chain from their Home Theater Audio-Receivers.., especially for your specific use case needs!! If you've just a Home Television and you plug in other devices like a Laptop and or a Console and plan to just use a Soundbar.., then.., BOTH this Monitor & the MAJORITY of TV's these days out there already have all you'd need for that without any additional hardware pucrases necessary! Though it does seem your looking at a Headphone setup.., THUS.., use a DAC plugged into the SPDIF out of your PC's Motherboard.., and the Included Drivers / Realtek Digital Sound Software that your Motherboard either came with.., or supports to download from your Motherboard Manufacturer's Driver Download Support Page!! Me personally.., I've an ASUS board.., so Sonic Studio 3 works Wonders with this OLD 2012 DAC I still had laying around from an "Old Turtle Beach Headset I used a way DeCADE ago..., and it suits me Just Fine.., even have a mini small desk-friendly Analog Digital Mixer plugged in my Chain at the END.., so I can Mix in other inputs.., such as my phone.., and such.. and It even mixes in Wireless Bluetooth to Wired or Wireless Outputs!!

    I mean, I currently have dual 32 inch 60 Hz refresh HD monitor for my set up. Yes it is a 1080P monitor and it’s a big 32 inch display so you could see the pixels. Definitely thinking about upgrading to a better monitor and this one was perfect because I did not want to compromise on the size of the display but at the same time I want a good quality display with high refresh rate. And this monitor fits everything 32 inches, 4K, 240 so high refresh rate. But the cherry on top is the fact that it’s an OLED which is a big deal because I can’t get over the fact that my main monitors for my main gaming PC set up are not sharp. And for other people, maybe they don’t really care or can’t even tell the difference but I could tell the difference due to the fact that I do daily drive a 15 ProMax, 23 M3 Max MacBook Pro 16in, 24 iPad Pro 13in, and an Ultra Watch. All these have OLED displays and definitely there’s a big difference between OLED and a regular non OLED display. But the price might be a little steep, but I’ll probably just buy one out of the two monitors and it will be my main monitor out of the 2. This would also tied to the fact why I want a curved gaming monitor because my dual monitors right now are curved monitors and it would look weird if one of them is flat and the other ones curved. 😅😊

It wasn't too hard to do just time consuming but I don't regret it at all. It made the colors pop like you couldn't believe. And now it's stupid easy to clean being its just like glass now. Can't scratch it anymore and smudges comes right off now with just a microfiber cloth. Don't even need any liquids. Been a year and a half now like this and have zero burn in still and use it over 8 hours a day for work / gaming. These Alienware panels I'm very impressed with.

I’m at a year and a half already and use it over 8 hours a day for work and gaming and absolutely zero burn in. I only do one pixel refresh a day “when I shut my system down” and it’s supposed to do it every 4 hours and have done multiple panel refresh’s also. People worry way to much about burn in. I’m the worst when it comes to oled panel maintenance and have zero burn in. Ips can burn in. Va can burn in also. Every single panel tech can get burn in if you’re dead strung and scared of burn in possibility’s. And I could give a flying f*** about warranty’s. I gladly threw my warranty right out the window when I took a razer blade to the anti reflecting coating and removed it. And yes they do send you a remanufacture panel if you use the warranty. Same goes for gpu company’s and motherboards and most electronics. Not all but a lot work that way. So in other words I won’t complain because I could care less. I was going to throw away my Alienware dwf anyways and buy another one when the lousy anti reflecting screen got scratched from just cleaning it and I tried to rub it out and but made it worse. Razer blade and some time fixed that right up and made the colors pop even more and it’s gorgeous. Easier to clean also. Looking to get the lg 45” and take the lousy ugly matte coating off as well and use that monitor for work and gaming and get so much burn in. My goal is to get burn in on my dwf before it goes into the trash can. Hasn’t happened yet and I doubt it even will. But don’t worry I won’t complain if it ever does happens.
