It's not an evolution in gaming monitors, it's a REVOLUTION in gaming monitors. Gone are the days of ghosting, nasty color shift and backlight bleed. I've enjoyed this panel immensely. It's worth every penny.
Exciting advancements in monitors for sure!
100% agree
I own this monitor and absolutely love it. Hands down the best gaming monitor I've ever seen or owned. It has to be experienced to be believed.
A few months in, never look back!
Especially coming from a TN panel!
Me too! Best PC monitor on the market. Nothing beats OLED, and I'm loving ultrawide more than I though I would.
@@TechnologyMindset Coming from a TN panel to the Alienware AW3423DW would be an absolute revelation. I was coming from a VA panel myself. It's awesome😊
@@justanotherlikeyou it certainly was!
Received this monitor about a month ago. Best monitor EVER! Every game and video looks so nice and crispy
A trippy thing about these OLED and QD oleds is that it actually enables beyond human tracking. In real life if you spin around 180, your vision experiences motion blur and the stuff that you pan past in your field of view is not clear, but in games with these monitors, you see everything.
Just received it, best monitor I owned. Was afraid of the fans - not an issue at all
Yeah for me all the ambient noise and speakers overpower whatever noise is coming from the fam.
I just bought the AW3423DWF model today. No Gsync module and no fans. All black case, Freesync Premium Pro, $1099 at Dell.
😁😁
Yeah this one i bought too.Was going to get this one but after rtx 4090 issues i decided to go with AMD 7900xtx and get the freesync version instead.Should be here this week or next then just wait for amd new cards to drop.
What's the difference? Just the missing Gsync module?
@@ertai222 Yeah no g-sync and few hundred dollars cheaper.Since i'm going with AMD gpu,see no reason to get the G-sync one anymore.
Yeah looks slick, Linus did a video on it recently too
I don't think the HDR is quite as good, but don't quote me on that. The new monitor is even better calibrated from what I've heard too. Eventually I'll want to get a calibration tool so that wouldn't matter, but nice to have calibration from the factory.
I returned mine it had a dark vertical line that developed on the left side of the panel after a couple of days use. Its an amazing gaming display but not so much for productivity the colour fringing on text makes it a big step down from an normal IPS in terms of text clarity.
Sorry to hear, yeah that something I struggle with going back-and-forth between that and a flat IPS panel. Ultra wide timelines are nice though.
Great review
Thank you
Yeah I'm getting myne next week cant wait
Congrats!
Nice review
Waiting for mine to be delivered tomorrow
Thank you
Exciting!
@@TechnologyMindset i got the monitor finally
Bought this monitor 2 weeks ago, I loved it but I am facing some gameplay issue while playing AOE 3 DE. The toggle between home city and going back to map just take the camera to somewhere else on the map. The home city icon change its place while toggling between map and deck. Not a monitor issue but definitely some games need update for ultra wide.
Yeah I've noticed some oddities with games here and there too. What if you changed the resolution to a 16x9 instead of the full ultrawide aspect ratio?
@@TechnologyMindset I am not sure. Will try that. But I guess last time I did that it was still playing in ultra wide. Maybe I will have to switch it to window mode to get it to 16:9.
On AOE 2 It works well. Only thing is that switching between apps makes the game screen flicker. And also on games like halo when I change the volume a pixelated line appears across the screen.
@@majorwicket2261 most of the games I play like RDR2, Plague, Cyberpunk2077 are working fine on this monitor and found no pixel flickering issue so far. With with AOE3 DE there are some related to screen navigation.
how you feeling about this monitor a year later?
I’d like to do a follow up here soon
Nice review, thanks! 👌🏻
Appreciate it!
I'm looking into buying this, but the fact it's not 16:9 is a massive downside for me.
It was weird for me at first too, but I’m finding it really immersive for gaming
Waiting for mine since 15.06
Maybe i will receive it in December.
Hopefully not too much longer
Waiting for mine to turn up
It took a little while for mine to arrive, hopefully not too much longer for you.
Just bought it off if Dell for just over $1200 with free shipping. Hope it's worth the hype🤞
Don't know what display you had, but it was a massive jump for me!
Can't notice the difference between 120 Hz and 200 Hz on my G9, but I can notice a difference between 130 and 175Hz because response time is so good. On the G9 apparently it takes 10 ms for pixel to change which is basically 100Hz
What game are you running at 7:52? Looks like a great game to showcase the OLED deep blacks!
Star Wars: Squadrons
I have a NVidia Gpu would you recommend this version or the new version DWF?
This one has the gsync module which would work with Nvidia cards. Do some searching, but the DWF sounds like it has lower refresh rate than the gsync version, maybe a little lower VRR capability, and then a little worse HDR. I don’t have one on hand so do some research.
@@TechnologyMindset ok Thank you 😊
Hey I am considering buying this monitor, but the pixel refresh mid game thing is really scaring me. Please tell me there is a way to get rid of it in the middle of the game. Loved the review!
You can disable the warning message and if the power light goes green while you're loading into a game or something you can hit the power button again to turn it back on.
I got myself a c2 42” over this just because it was 200 bucks cheaper and met my use case more. I really love 4k it’s amazing at that size and is just so clear and the response time is insane. I never notice anything over 120 because I play story games mostly
I also have the c2 and I think it’s the better buy
Nice for console gaming at 16x9 I bet
Great review! What in-game Brightness and Contrast settings did you set for God of War?
thank you.
You mean on the monitor itself? default. For God of War, default HDR settings after watching a video about its HDR a while back.
@@TechnologyMindset Nah, I meant in-game HDR settings. Sweet. I'll test it out!
Could you do a settings/calibration video for it?
What kinds of settings are you wondering about? As far as calibration, I don't have a calibration tool, but I'm looking to get one eventually.
@@TechnologyMindset The best monitor settings
It's a good foray, but the tech is too new. I went with the Neo G8. Full 4k, higher pixel per inch, better text clarity, 240hz, 1100 dimming zones, no risk of burn in. 10bit at 240hz. It also doesn't need all the brightness dimming and tricks to avoid burn in.
Debatable things- Matte screen is better for multi environments (its one of the best mattes), 1000r if you care about that.
I look forward to something from QD-OLED or something similar if the tech can guarantee no burn in and have the same features as the NEO G8, I believe its at least 2-3 years away, so I will cross that bridge later.
The QD OLED works better imho if you get a large TV and sit further back, you have the same hassles to deal with but at least with that money you can get a 65" S95B.
Nice, sounds like a nice panel. I’d like to check one out sometime. I had been interested in the odyssey G9 Neo at one point, but it’s too gigantic for my monitor setup.
@@TechnologyMindset Well, the G9 is lesser than the G8 imo, because it's ultra wide and lower resolution, the pixel gap is wider, there are a few other things. It's of course very pricey. I'd rather try 3 G8s next to each other
I haven't looked at the specs for the ARK, for 3000.00
A future G9 OLED could make sense, basically don't have to use all those OLEDs with just a single small window in front.
@@hrod9393 55” it’s huge!
@@TechnologyMindset I just looked at it. I'm pleasantly surprised its at least 4k also MiniLED. But at this size and price, I think I would spend much less money on the 65" or smaller QN90B and still have a flat screen TV. It's an interesting oddity though.
I did see one on exhibit, in vertical profile.I think I'm not sold on curved and wide. I think for immersion I'll stick to VR headset. Of course I'm sure there is someone one there who wants curved large mini led :)
PS- It has 80 pixel per inch, probably why I wasn't too impressed on the one on exhibit.
You did a great job with the review!
i am especially grateful for the info about corks and "problems" you have provided - very useful.
Can i kindly ask about 12:00 - about "auto warning message" option?
Is that option completly disables the pop up window for pixel refresh after 4 hours of non stop monitor usage?
And what is your firmware number - is that M0B-102?
Good point, I didn't address the firmware as a quirk of the G-SYNC module. Doing research, looks like you can't upgrade firmware of the monitor yourself. The firmware version of mine is MOB-102.
You are correct, that is an every 4 hour message about doing the refresh. It looks like it's turned on for me, but I haven't seen the message since the first few days of using the monitor.
@@TechnologyMindset that is interesting. it would be nice if you share more of your thoughts and experience after few months of using this monitor.
if only it was 27 inch 2560-1440 flat with 240hz resresh rate and no text fringing issue was present.
one day - one day.
Maybe one day there will be the perfect monitor without quirks
@@TechnologyMindset i have heard from some unproven sources that Alienware is working on 38 inch qdoled monitor, close to the first quarter of next year? It may be shown
Also lg is boosting the production of 27! And 32 joled panels for the monitors market.
Also expected to be shown at ces 2023
Tbh i am really interested with lgs 27 joled, since it does have a much brighter Hdr capabilities and not as much aggressive abl, comparing to other oled technologies.
ASUS has the PG42UQ OLED. Not QD-OLED though.
Ive has this monitor for a few months and never realized that there were two USB ports under the bezel!
Lol same here
An for some reason it has a magnetic part behind on the left of the USBs... It also has a headphones jack in between the USBs if you haven't notice... I prefer to use that audio output instead of the one of the Xbox controller, better quality... What I don't like is that it emits too much heat to my face ...
I use a headphone amp via USB so I haven't used the headphone output from the monitor. However, the AUX out works when plugged into my soundbar to get audio from a console while the video outputs on the monitor.
@@TechnologyMindset me as well I'm running a schiit amp and DAC, but you opened my eyes to the USBs!
Does anyone have a solution for splitting this screen in 2 since pip/pbp is not supported 😪
I would like to know too, too bad it's not wide enough for 2x 1440p inputs
Did you ever end up using the Asus PG27UQ? You mentioned the ASUS monitor kicked off your dream of HDR experience.
No, I never picked up that monitor. It was on my wish list since I first heard about it and FALD technology. The problem was the 4K screen resolution which would require a top of the line rig.
I want to hear from long term owners about burn in and if its been an issue. I am a heavy multi purpose user and I want an OLED, but I doubt the tech has caught up to my needs.
If youre looking for resell value then why are you buying a just barely released product? And no burn-in will never be a problem as long as the pixel refreshing tech is allowed to work when you dont use the monitor but dont power it off. Either if you try to sell this in 2 years youll be selling it for $600-$800
This monitor only came out earlier this year. I’d imagine more time is needed for long term owners and to tell.
@@cybyrd9615 Dont power it off after using? Really?
Is this the best practice?
@@user-do5yo5ps3f it goes into standby mode and refreshes the pixels, it doesnt stay completely on
@@TechnologyMindset nah qd-oled is the future of all displays and dell has a 3 year warranty
It's overkill with a ridiculous price tag.
High end and early adopter tax, though not the most expensive out there.
High end and early adopter tax, though not the most expensive out there.
No hdmi 2.1 🤣🤣 in this generation Skip
At least for the ps5 you can still do 1440p120 in HDR and SDR so it's still usable on that front.
Yes that is disappointing!
You don't need 2.1 for the resolution and 175hz
