      @@cloudstrife7083 It's a pretty huge upgrade imo, especially compared to the motion clarity of a VA panel. The difference in motion clarity between OLED & IPS is likely just a bit less dramatic, but the OLED is still going to look superior (to me, anyway). HDR on the aw3423dw really helps in darker content too - for instance, in cyberpunk, the low-light & shadow-heavy alleyways still had a ton of detail instead of it being crushed out a bit by the shadows like it did on my VA panel. I think if you can afford it, it would likely be something you'd be reasonably happy having. It really is very nice.

      @crestofhonor2349 2 года назад +3

      @@petersmulders8058 I think it has more to do with the potential for burn in and the companies making the panels than it was TVs being more popular. Monitors typically have more static elements on them since people tend to leave things like menu bars static on their screen for extended amounts of time. This made the potential for burn in much higher especially since earlier versions of OLED were far more susceptible to burn in especially with higher brightness and brighter colors. Today it's not as likely due to many advancements in OLED technology

    Hey man, received mine about a week ago. The coating on the panel is very soft and prone to scratches. Mine, as well as many others, have a bunch of micro scratches all over the monitor, that don't buff out.
    I reached out to Dell and am receiving a replacement, scheduled in the middle of July. On Reddit, it's speculated that these scratches are caused by the packaging during shipment, and can't be avoided unless the coating is changed or packaging is.
    My monitor was shipped from Kentucky, which is where a Dell returns center is. Which means that someone returned this monitor (likely due to the defects) and Dell shipped it to me to fulfill their orders.
    If you would like, I can send you pictures of my monitor. This really needs to be addressed by a RUclips channel that has a voice. Nobody is mentioning/noticing it and it's a huge flaw.
    Keeping the monitor for several years means you will probably rub the coating off each time you clean it. Which absolutely sucks for the price. Let me know if you would like some pictures and links to the reddit post.

    my overall first week experience with this monitor is as follows :
    1. if the game supports windows auto-HDR feature, a small confirmation pop-up notification appear on the lower right corner of the screen and when it does, your game would shine with colors and perfect HDR experience. if the pop-up notification doesn't appear, you would have a basic and not professional level HDR experience. I played Ori & the Will of the Wisps and Hades and with windows auto-HDR support, it really is an enjoyable experience, particularly with 2 to 5 percent window 1000 nits brightness that this monitor supports, small specular highlights really shine magnificently.
    2. the monitor has slight flickering and brightness-shifting issue in the loading screen of the monitor.
    3. with HDR turned-on, video-recording of your gameplay would be messed up badly. so if you plan to record your gameplay, the only option is to turn-off windows HDR and play your game in SDR instead, which is really sad. this is also applicable when working with video-editing software like Adobe Premiere.
    Overall, I am satisfied with this monitor, its wide-screen form factor and satisfying-level of curvature. if your main intention is to play video games with this monitor, it is absolutely a very good choice to buy it but if you plan to record your HDR gameplay with geforce experience feature, your recording would be a mess.
    if anyone have found a way to record their HDR gameplay without pircture getting messed-up, please share it with me. thanks.

      Auto HDR isn't a monitor feature. It's implemented by windows. If the popup doesn't appear there are 3 reasons: The game has a native HDR setting, the game doesn't support HDR, or microsoft hasn't created an auto-HDR profile for the game. If you use Auto HDR on a game with native HDR support you will be getting a downgraded experience. The in game implementation is always better.

      @@karniskavva If the game has it as an option, you would use the non auto setting. If it doesn't, but it listed on the PC gaming wiki as a game that is compatible with auto HDR, meaning there is a profile for the game you would use the auto HDR setting. If the game does not support HDR at all, you would disable HDR potentially, you would gain nothing from using auto HDR on something that doesn't have support for HDR in any way, but you might have problems with the way it shows black as grey for example.

I just don't see the point in upgrading my current 1440p 144hz screen to anything less than this though as been waiting for new tech and seems like the next lines from a few brands will all be based on this panal..

      @@localbraddah07 3080.. was worried the extra pixels from normal 1440p would bring it down but runs great.. will probably upgrade soon though.. I have been doing uni work on it and is what inspired me to get it, I didn't have an ultrawide before so does help alot but didn't see the point in spending money on a screen that was just a littler wider but essentially the same as what I had, rather pay even more and have a totally new thing, love new tech but was scared of oled for computer until this.. sometimes move things around but can see there is never image retention.. I honestly think if just doing productivity, then buy lcd.. I got this for gaming as the blacks and everything make it soo much nicer, been gaming for years and have seen things in the last few months that were just not possible to display on old tech, Love this thing! although it depends on the game alot more.. a Oled tv can just enhance everything to fit the specs of the tv. Pc games don't know what screen you have and since most people don't have one with hdr this good, it's not a priority,... like vr.. small user base.. So some games are mind blowing while others can be a bit disapointing but am gonna mess around with reshade during the break as I read that can make alot of them look way better.. It's a great gaming monitor that works fine for other things but if not gaming, i think it would be waste as deeper blacks don't make productivity work any more exciting as does it cost a more.
