Which One wins in todays video? My Vote goes to the AW2721D...
all of the reviews of QDOLED monitor say you have to turn up the SDR brightness in windows is this video with that turned up? is it SDR vs SDR? Is it in 8bit color @ 175hz, or is it in 10bit color at 144hz? Thanks!
blacks looks as shit as on my ips panel. Ez qd oled win Brightness for me is useless i got 350monitor atm using it at 40% brightness i got room with no windows basically for screen use. Took years for me to replace Panasonic Plasma for me its all about black colour any graish blacks are triggering my ocd.
i agree. you helped me chose to go ahead and get the aw2721d. the way you like youer set up is similar to the way i do . thank you for all the time you put into these reviews! :)
just ordered XD
I'll go with the AW3423DW because the AW2721D has over saturated colors.
I had the 2721 for 6 month and played with 240 hz with my rtx 3080. now since 2 days I have the 3423 and I must say it’s totally different. Brightness is more than enough for me but that’s like you said - personal preference. But in motion and reaction time of the pixels, the 3423 is another level - it’s sooooo extremely fast in first person shooters and fast movement. that’s really night and day and after that i couldn’t believe that I find the 240 hz 2721 so much slower … I couldn’t believe it
Exactly it's all personal preference. Putting personal brightness opinion aside. The speed of the QD OLED is next gen that's for sure. I will get to speed tests soon.
Motion is probably the most important factor in a gaming monitor.
Yes because of liquid crystal has to move around, so you may get delay in response time unfortunately. OLED use self switching pixel so it would be a lot faster than the LCD.
Yeah, I notice that even at 120hz the OLED I use is better in motion then the 200hz monitor that I use. However, for some reason I do better in games on the 200hz monitor (by quite a decent margin) over the 120 OLED. I think it might be the input lag on the 200hz monitor is less than the 120hz OLED even though I can see motion better in the OLED.
nice, i will do this change from 2721d to this new ultrawide but I cant find it in Mex.
Since I have an OLED and the X35 predator I can say I've noticed that the OLED is definitely better as long as the room that you're watching it in is completely dark or almost completely dark. Otherwise if there is light sources nearby the increased brightness of the X35 predator wins. If only the CX OLED could get maybe 50%-150% brighter it would win hands down on everything.
Yea... OLED with a 350nit full window for me is ideal with close to 450+ nits would be heaven.. lol.. one day...
@@DisplayReality Yeah, I'm sure it'll happen one day. Unfortunately with this stuff I'm very impatient lol. Why can't one day be today?!?! Maybe the QD-OLED with heatsink Sony TV will be around 350nit full window. I doubt it but I can dream lol.
I'd choose the QD OLED. I game/watch movies in a dark environment. So blacks are important, and brightness isn't necessary.
Then you will love it. In HDR this destroys every monitor out there. its only in sdr when things are similar.
Could you make future comparison videos with a less warm preset on the AW3423DW please or make the other monitor have the warm preset on for a closer comparison.
If I go warmer it will be less bright on the QD OLED. This was on rpg preset for color saturation but I can go warm in a future video if it helps.
Both monitor looks excellent, from my point of view We get what we paid for. Oled is a more expensive panel and looks better, on the other side Nano IPS has a good balance between good color and price.
This comparison really helps in deciding. Thanks
Sitting here turning my brightness up from 20 to 100 after brightness is mentioned. Blinded by the screen. Yeah, I don't need that brightness. hahaha
🤣... then you will love the QD OLED...
Long LIVE IPS - OLED still has a loonngg waaaayyy to go until it gets solid.
I have an AW3821DW which has the best LG IPS display on the monitor and I will definetly switch to the AW3423DW.
The backlight bleeding of LCD displays is just horrible. Both my AW3821DW and Samsung Odyssey G7 look terrible compared to my LG CX OLED TV simply because they cannot display black.
Try playing Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous or any game with dark gameplay in dark room and you will see a huge difference.
Everything is washed out grey with IPS/VA panels.
Moreover the G7 has horrible overshoot at low framrates with VRR enabled.
Atleast I will keep my AW3821DW for my simracing rig as its nice to have a big ultrawide monitor for sim racing / flightsims.
The OLED brightness will be enough because I use my current AW3423DW IPS monitor only at around 70% brightness anyway.
Nice on the sim racing monitor aspect ratio. That must be so much fun. This UW is my first and I find many games fun in that ratio. 100% this monitor is best for games in HDR games. This video was pure sdr content which many Monitors can compete. But in HDR gaming its no contest this oled wins easy. Thing is many won't play in hdr to experience the best out if it.
@@DisplayReality oh yes I really love to play games in the 21:9 ultrawide format. The horizontal extra field of view improves the immersion alot and also keeps the UI to the sides.
Moreover 21:9 works with pretty much every game and genre unlike 32:9 which is too wide for many games.
Furthermore 21:9 does also work well for productive work as you can easily have two windows next to each other.
Btw you really gotta try out Star Citizen. It‘s crazy immersive on an OLED display. If you want I can let you play on my account as I‘m not playing it very often anyway.
Or I can record some gameplay for you.
I ordered my AW3423DW today however it will arrive in August. ):
Dell is always a few months behind in Germany compared to the US.
Rengaruu#3882 on Discord
would like to know what is the best gaming monitor for playing star citizen
Thank yo was planing to switch my 2723df but I will keep it after seeing your video . I was just missing the true blacks from my QD Oled Tv which I have attached to my ps5 🙂🙏🏻
bought a aw3423DW yesterday.... returned it today. keeping my aw2721D
You didnt like the DW? Your opinion would be helpful to many thx...
I like this video and this is the first.time I've.cone across your channel. I think this methodology might be skewed though since it's in a bright room. The aw3423dw has some antiglare coating that makes blacks look grey in bright environments. I get the point of this video is to do a side by side comparison. I think a better methodology for testing though would be to do this in a bright medium low and no light environment and then test each monitor in those same conditions from the center of each monitor where you could split the screen to show the difference.
Sure... I was also advised to record separately to avoid the wrong exposure on each monitor. So I will try in the future
I have 27GP850-B which has same nano-ips panel. now this makes me think again.
I think if you disable all ambient light and have a very dark room the QD OLED should appear brighter because your retina will open up more to let light in.
It would appear but not actually be especially when I vs it against this powerhouse.. it looks this way when I vs but if we have nothing to compare to we would think the 34" is bright enough. Like you said we would adjust. But I mean you know (aw2721d) its ultra bright. Especially that cloud scene. The AW2721D would appear brighter in a dark room. Remember this QD OLED is on its brightest setting in HDR mode. It's not a powerhouse on white images but everything else it's great.
@@iphilologos friends... I say this is a brightness color video. This is not a dark room test. Also I say dark room Gaming nothing beats oled. Ppl don't always play in the dark like tvs. I don't. This is true to what we see.(Because like your said our eyes adjust) I have alot of rgb going on which is even behind the room. Brightness is 70% of the picture to me... and if it can't get bright enough you can't see the differences. So far over 20 comments on ppl saying it's too low in brightness (verified who actually have it) . If u side by side at 100nits with another monitor then anything looks good. Pure brightness color test. That's why the ambient lighting is on like normal streamers ppl would have. Numbers don't tell the whole story..
Honestly you don't need higher highs to demonstrate depth of black, you just need proper balance. Who cares about contrast if you're looking at rocket thrusters
IPS에 풀로컬 MINI LED가 어서빨리 도입되길 바랍니다
QD OLED는 번인이 빠르다는 치명적인 단점이 존재합니다
A Nano IPS with Mini LED would be exciting. I hope LG fast tracks that option.
Both monitors have different techs.
And thanks, for this video about these 2 awesome monitors .
Waching this on my amazing QD-OLED Dell Alienware - AW3423DWF 😌
Brightness > everything to you it seems
Never thought I'd hear words like "contrasty" associated with an IPS monitor, it's the very last word I'd think about when describing one (even a "high end" one like the AW2721D)
And uniformity is absolute trash on LCD monitors (IPS/VA/TN), IPS Glow, backlight bleeding, clouding etc you name they've got it
To each their own I guess
u must have gotten a really bad ips panel. All the time I show dark room Gaming, raised iso videos, vs videos etc... brightness is everything when it comes to picture pop hence the word "pop" I don't play at 120nits. I play full power to show what the monitor is capable of.
It sounds like you dislike anything other than oled... I love it myself but... I won't cripple any monitors power to showcase vs another... that's cheap and baised. I won't do that. I have been getting alot of oled comments saying exactly this. I'm not saying you are but I see the agenda already. I show truth that many can't handle. I have every panel type and never had any backlight bleed, clouding to a nasty extent and maybe some glow but even with all this it never takes away from the picture.
Umm perfect blacks and great contrast make things pop more than brightness
@@JohnnyLongpube not when you have it at 100nits Total picture. But it's all preference. I respect everyone's opinion. It seems it's the battle of OLED vs every type of panel is on once again. I prefer the latter still overall..
Thank you for your honest review.
Can you do a video dedicated to text clarity?
I have a bit in my wallpaper engine video in the daytime I believe. But I'll look into more tests.
@@DisplayReality cool! I think I saw that one. Looking forward to it 🙂
People who actually use their PC to do work and do a little gaming on the side would prefer inky blacks and less brightness. What's the FIRST thing they tell you to save your eyes and brain? Lower brightness and blue light. Not doing that leads to eye strain, headaches, etd.
I wish the QD-OLED wasn’t ultra wide 😢 deal breaker for me.
Thanks for this video.. As an owner of two LG monitors Nano IPS (one 27 and 34) after seeing this video, I don't think im missing out on much except for the deep blacks. I made a comment earlier on your previous video on having some regrets on missing out on the OLED panel but it seems like the colors on the nano ips are giving a little more of a color kick if you will. I also agree with the black equalizer you can have some close-ish deep blacks on your monitors and the 34' does it a bit better than the 27' (from my POV). Thanks for being honest! Goes a long way with helping people like me!
True... only major step-up is the inky 3dish black levels look. Contrast king for sure but brightness may be lacking for some. I am happy with both as I wanted an ultrawide this is my first. So playing civ 5 etc looks different and fun. I just try to show that it's not the end of all monitors many make it out to be. I can love it and have criticism too.
I also own a nano IPS and I have to say the monitor didn't suddenly become shit just because there's an OLED now, it's still pretty good for what it is. It was the best back in 2019 not that long ago. That said I still ordered the new OLED because of the IPS glow and bad contrast. But still, for gaming the nano IPS is still plenty fast and I would still recommend it to anyone specially if you are budget constrained.
Were you using local dimming on the AW2721D during this comparison?
My Dell S2721DGF is Nano IPS and it looks excellent.
That is a very good monitor. Lots of value on the s2721dgf..
This was really useful, thanks. I can see here the two monitors are the same height. Is the 25 inch version the same height too
What settings do you recommend to use for the AW2721D?
Do you have any settings to recommend ?
I enable HDR in Windows display, set my contrast to 70 on monitor, in nvidia control, use rgb 8bit, I put my brightness to 50 and contrast to 70, then there's that adjust colour setting thing (can't remember the name but it brings out the colours more... I set that on 80 looks amazing and on the monitor, I use gamr setting and change all the rgb settings to 100
@@thedarkriddler7318 saturation
love your work, i subbed and liked :)
Thank you my friend... stay safe...
yes this was what i was looking for
Thanks man, I needed to see the difference between a high end ips and the new qd oled to decide if I was going to replace my ips ultrawide, super helpful video 👍
What settings do you run on your AW3423DW ? I'm kind of between going sRGB in creator mode or going Custom with the RTings settings. I can't really tell which one I like more?
i have the alienware ultawide and i cant get over this yellow hue the monitor has, if i get rid of it then the colours are so muted and looks like ass compared to my LG GP850
I've been trying to think of who you sound like, in your voice and mannerisms, and i just realized its AntsCanada
Is that a good or bad thing... 😆
@@DisplayReality it's good! It's like one of the most chilled calming voices lol esp how you keep saying 'friends'
@@akeluify lol... thx friend... its nice to hear I don't sound like a crazy person. Even tho I feel I talk to much... lol
Great review. Thanks for being honest and not selling out to the OLED fanboy crowd like other “reviewers” are. OLED is great tech but it’s not the end all and be all and has severe limitations owing to the “organic” technology. It would be interesting to see a comparison with one of the true FALD IPS monitors such as PG35VQ.
I will compare this to the Neo g8 monitor. That will be fun.
@@DisplayReality it will be very interesting. But g7 with his amazing contrast still performs very good compared to the dell oled.
@@nikolaosmitsou85 yes... its still very good. what ppl don't realize is while burn in will soon be a thing of the past. That 1000hdr peak number is fake. That is under a 5% window. Ppl will almost never see it. Lol its not a good hdr monitor. I don't understand why ppl are saying this is the best thing. It's not. I would happily return mine if I chose too as I don't love love it.i mean I love it but not love love it.. If that makes any sense lol.
got my 3423dw box was hammered and the unit wont stay on just goes blank after few seconds well it did at first not wont come on at al didn't even get to see anything running first run it got to windows screen then that was it l :( hopefully a speedy turn around thank god didn't sell my g7
Oh my... sorry friend. Well only thing I can say is try a different cable. Hdmi has flashed also for me. Like if it can't wake from suspend/ standby even turning on. Try display port. Just retry. It happened to me also somewhat... pls let me know what happens.
@@DisplayReality I did bud tried hdmi via laptop hdmi from Xbox dp from pc it came on once and like went to sleep and wouldn't recover then since then I've tried unplugging all cables and resetting holding button.
Tried each port
I would of carried on with the glare peel as I wanted to know if worth it over my g7 but I have up at about 8pm after collecting it at 4. Really annoyed first thing I've been hyped for in ages. Hope they sort a replacement quick
regardless of contrast...the colors on Nano IPS are fucking awesome .. and cheaper!
I bought a AW2721D over a year ago and its an amazing monitor however it did develop a (slight) fault and dell replaced it, that one then developed an even worse fault! - now they have offered me a AW3423DW which should arrive in a few days - Dell support is great it seems
Dell support is honestly the #1 on the market not gonna lie. That alone is a BIG reason to buy their stuff (to me at least).
I've had only a few minor problems with their stuff but always have received amazing support from them.
I just bought a AW2723DF after owning multiple AW monitors now and I can't Wait to receive it. Btw all my monitors still work and have either been given to friends of mine, my GF or are collecting dust somewhere in the house lmao
all i know is i am a monitor collector owning multiple 1440p 165hz+ monitors. I AM AMAZED BY MY AW2721D IN ALL POSSIBLE WAYS. Colors, responce and 240hz are amazing.
Yes... I am also very happy with it. I love 240hz and my content always looks bright and the right amount of saturation.
In that video, AW3423DW seems to have a pink tint.
All QD-OLEDs have pink tint on camera or certain cameras but not in real life. I do say that in all QD-OLED videos. It has a term I already forgot. Lol Display spectrum something..
For PS5 HDR gaming which would you choose, and why? Hoping to get a reply from Vik
Personally OLED. This video shows SDR content only, but in HDR OLED is simply the best tech as of today
Idk they both look really good to me. I dnt think OLED is worth it yet, teh entry level oled 27 inch I was looking at but 1000 dollars 4x teh price of most 1440p not worth it.
Thing is that 1000peak hdr is only in small windows we rarely see it. It will improve sure but vs wjats out now its not destroying anything interms of visual quality or impact.
@@DisplayReality Ye I dnt care too much abt HDR I care more abt picture quality.
You don’t know you can switch the Dell monitors’ HDR modes?? There are two main settings; HDR1000 and HDR400 True Black. The standard HDR1000 is brighter than what you used in the video. The drawback to using this setting over the True Black is reduction of contrast ratio. Bottom line, the Dell can in fact reach brighter levels. You just need to actually read those instructions 😜
No friend.. there are 2HDR modes HDR1000 peak and true black 400. 1000peak ONLY lets you achieve 980nits in 1%, 2%, 5% windows. Thats it in hdr Regular content max is around 450nits. It does not get brighter then what you see here on SDR content. HDR true HDR is another story but this is not an HDR video but I am using the Hdr mode with SDR contenr to make it as bright as it can be. Lots of ppl believe 1000peak is what you will see always that is false.
Hello.
I like your review. so you mean that if I use about 30-50% brightness because of my eyes and dark room, I will be more satisfied with OLED? because I don't care about brightness? and do you think that apart from playing games it will be a good monitor for editing photos?
Pure blacks especially in hdr gaming look amazing on oled. Editing in creator mode is great. Dci p3 or srgb modes give many options. You will love this for editing
The problem here is that the actual "math" doesn't even add up. The AW2721D has a 1000:1 native contrast that doesn't improve with local dimming because it is so few edge-lit zones. And the ~700 nits doesn't do much because the zones are so large. The AW34 may be only 450 nits, but it actually gets to true black and per pixel...vs a 16/32 zone monitor that has 10% less color volume.
If this was the Innocn 32M2V (not the Neo G7...I owned that, and it had far too many problems with ABL and how it handled a lot of highlights,) it would be a more understandable comparison. But saying an edge-lit IPS panel with shit local dimming is better than a QD-OLED is completely click-bait.
Edit: Upon rewatch, you tested this with HDR off. Otherwise, the 21D would have had a huge amount of blooming. I owned this monitor a year or two ago; the HDR was unusable.
I was gonna ask this, did he even used with hdr on? It didnt look like it and on hdr OLED is simply superior
Something strange is that it doesn't seem to have 1000:1 contrast ratio on this video which is quite bad for blacks. I think the recording isn't representative
Why is there such a huge tint/temperature difference between them? At least one of them must be poorly calibrated for the entire image to noticeably more red or pink, I would think. This kind destroys the comparison. Kinda useless.
I have heard from some reviewers that the aw3423dw gets a pink tint from it's coating but this only happens if there's a lot of ambient light, which is usually why comparison shots like this are done in the dark unless specifically trying to compare coatings.
All QD-OLEDs suffer from a Display wavelength issue. Hence the red/pink tint. Cameras are sensative so it picks it up but in reality Its not a problem
this is a year ago but bruh... The aw3423dw smashes the aw2721d and in no way does an IPS win over a QD OLED. Motion clarity, HDR, Colour accuracy etc all better on the QD OLED. How can you crown the aw2721d??? 32 zones is not enough for HDR at all so no point in having the thing on.
Just showing sdr scenes are easily brighter and impactful vs any oled. Hdr is another story but as I say SDR in these vs videos as HDR varies from windows Version and console. Not everyone likes hdr. I dont as i do not edit in hdr or browse in hdr. Nor work. In an ambience lit room. Oled is not good like shown here. But many prefer oled anyway so it is what it is..
What about Mini LED vs Nano IPS?
thanks for the video
so the nano ips is better for gaming?... lower response times and smoother gaming experience? also 1000 nit at 10% screen coverage and like 600 nit at 40-50%. in theory that should be plenty because its not often you have. however i see the diference clearly that qd oled looks blurry in all of your videos... but other videos it looks good..... what gives? does it maybe look better @120hz 10bit color. i really want to snag one up but i like some things about the 38 inch nano ips better anyway.. i just wanted to take advantage of that .1ms response time. i mostly play non hdr games like tarkov. would love to see a direct comparison aw3423dw and the aw3821dw thanks again... my current qled 32 harnesses the power of the sun imo.... but it is fatiguing over time.... although i do love having to squint when i look at the sun in a game... ive only looked up high quality hdr content a few times just to see what my monitor can do.... it is impressive but input lag, response time and smoothness matter to me more than the nit value as long as it is satisfactory.
The camera can only do so much. The QD-OLED iclearer as this panel is so fast the camera can't show the crispness of the picture. Its almost jittery as its so on point. Butbthat 38AW is on sale right now and to me would be more immersive and better overall as you can adjust some settings to make it beautiful in the nvidia control panel..
i own aw2721d its epic ips monitor gaming :)
where is the lg nanoips comparison
Its more interesting if you compare G7 32" with Alienware 2721D, I'm blocked here in these 2 monitors, i have old PC with Rizen 1700X and GTX1080 and 16 gigs ram.
The g7 has more contrast but the Aw2721D is nice to look at too. I use them both. I'll get to a vs video soon friend.
@@DisplayReality Thanx i will wait but i want gsync ultimate for better gaming experience!!!
I'm so great and happy that I own the AW2721D.
I have a MSI Optix MAG271CQR VA panel and bougth a LG34850B IPS Panel for 605€+3 years warranty for 17€(Amazon Germany).
The LG is very fast and have damn good colours, very, very better than my old MSI, but...i dont know, should i maybe give the LG back and wait for OLED...?
OLED are very expensive, new technology with many questions, and i never play in the dark, this is good for IPS and not so good for the OLED.
What i have to do guys ? I have 2 weeks to return for LG, i bught a Spyder5 for calibrate for MSI, i dont know, help me 😞
Sorry for my english
I already know the result b4 watched this video. Because I went to local store to check it, after 30 mins I leave and never looks back. Been planing to buy it, but then my Neo G9 is looks better than qdoled alienware a lot, don't want to downgrade to qdoled alienware.
I have color blindness. I'm playing Pubg. I can't see black people nearby. Which IPS panel monitor should I buy? rapid IPS panel or FAST IPS panel nano IPS panel ? I would be happy if you answer me.
Monitor on left is not sharp enough for me
Working in TVs for the past five years I learnt nano cells tv are the worst of the market they crush blacks like crazy and are awful in general, We literally make jokes about then even the lg rep says they are awful, but are the monitors actually good??? Also I give contrast and colours far more important that just brightness Samsung make some of the worst high end TVs hence the move to oled, if you compare them side by side with a oled be that lg, Sony or Panasonic, the Samsung will look brighter but the oleds will have far better colours and contrast and most people would go with that other just brightness with washed out colours, what are your thoughts?
I try to show what I have in a Showcase way. (I try too at least) while panel tech has improved say with Real black Equalizer not LGs Black Stabilizer. I understand what you mean. That OLED give you tru 3dish Depth or dimming natively. It's an amazing tech for sure. While on my many monitors or QN90A I have never experienced washed out colors other than tn panels. I try to show full power of things. OLED has a different look. It's a different kind of beast and many love it. Tho I prefer brightness for SDR/HDR but it's all about how you do it. While my IPAD Mini LED 12" is brighter than the Tab s7 plus OLED. The OLED to me looks better side by side. I can't wait to see how QD OLED on the QN55S95B looks. Alot of ppls told me qned is inferior to the mini leds picture from the samsungs hence why they returned the QNEDs. Like over 15ppl so far. I'm not sure how it looks myself only from what I have seen at the store. But that could be due to the IPS vs VA Panels used.
u have ON HDR of DW?
About the brightness in aw3423dw in sdr content maybe just turn on the hdr1000 so it is very bright lol
It is on hdr1000 peak mode. In all my vs videos... that 1000peak is only around 980-750nits in a 1-10% window... then it drops to 550 then 350 etc...
Have you tried 400 mode it is actually meant to be brighter for overall screen brightness?
Maybe maybe i buy an ultra wide monitor if its height more than 50 cm
so what will u recommend odyssey g7 or alienware 2721 please reply
That's tough... unless you want a VA panel found on the G7. I would go with the aw2721d. Only reason is you would get less hassel as its good to go no need for firmwares. I deal alot with helping ppl uodate the G7 and I get comments about 10 a week for a yr now with troubleshooting. Its great if you know how to do it. You can't lose with either. I needed a g7 32" size and am happy. I only got the 2721d because a friend always recommended it and I got in Jan and do find it to be the best 1440p only monitor. I got a s2721dgf, vs g50a vs aw2721d soon. All price points.. but the g7 is VA and can accept a 4k signal which you may need for device streamers or ps5..
Is the oled calibrated right?
Both monitors look amazing but you cant compare a $800+ monitor to monitor that goes for as high as $1600+ LOL,PQ279 has too many issues.
Great review. Question- I have the 2721 and am considering upgrading to Neo G8 4k.. dumb move? Will I notice a difference?
S2721dgf? I currently play Xbox on that monitor. Elden ring looks very good on it. But the Neo G8 In my opinion would only give you that VA depth plus a really deep contrast image vs the S27. You will notice but I think the s27 is very good above average monitor. The 98% dcip3 color saturation on the s27 is what saves and helps it compete. But yes the Neo G8 is a different impactful monitor. Not sure if over 1k for that is worth it if you are happy with your s27.
@@DisplayReality my bad! Aw2721d
Which color preset are you using for the video?
Qd oled: Rpg preset hdr on sdr slider all the way to the right. Aw2721d: rts 100 brightness
@@DisplayReality thanks
Im on the fence about the oled vs the AW3821d. i like the 3821 has less of a curve and is a larger monitor along with the 1600p. is the Oled that much better? oh and the oled would not ship for a few months which is a bummer.
But the AW38 only at 1199... don't pay more. 1399 is too much. Dell has semi annual sales. But oled vs bigger size? Idk what you like. The aw34 to me sometimes feels too small as 16:9 on it feels like 27". I usually play at 32"... but QD-OLED is amazing in hdr. It's the best monitor for that...
makes no sense to compare with sdr on an oled..
Showing the sdr difference. Many cannot use hdr modes on windows.
Hey mate nice job you do more and more content 🙂 and I m love with it ! I m little disappointed with this Alienware qd oled I m waiting for the Samsung G8 neo and I m still prefer my lg GP950 b it l look just more natural the color is just amazing and this brightness change the game also for 4K resolution is impressive how fast it is man I hope the Samsung will be good enough then I ll pick one more
Yes... wait for the Neo G8. Your GP950 is very good and super bright and colors are almost perfect. I love srgb mode on the LGs... the Neo G8 will be a true upgrade.
@@DisplayReality i Hope so because the qd oled suck with this brightness 🔆 it s look as TN panel lol as the cloudy red reflection
what is the you speak for the left screen OLED but the colours to red tint is 80% red 50 % blue 50% green a good colour change this looks sh... sorry but in my opinion oled haven't the clear natural colour look nano ips have. ilike OLED not
The only HUGE PROBLEM with OLED right now is burn in… until they find a way to fix it, I will he avoiding OLED, they do look very nice but the panel getting fried in 1-2 years is just not acceptable, besides those monitors are INSANELY expensive for it to burn in around 1-2 years 💀🤡
Alienware has a 3year warranty for burnin and so does Samsung (at least where I live)
*Bro im sorry but i dont accept your black screen test result. because i do these light environment. we almost see these same black performans but that is not possible. this test and dell vs g7. i changed 5 monitör from samsung g7 for blb. i tryed every setting. but i have some bad result. it has blb. you should test full black screen and black dark environment. (%75-100 brightness normal use) and you can test these on outlast, evil with pc games. we can see different things. :) and you should use keyword on the video for good or bad things.*
This is a brightness color test. I say this in every Video. When I do a black room test I state that. This is 100% accurate. I can't change the iso in every scene. Then it would not be accurate. What did you need me to test on which monitor again? I'm happy to do it in time..
@@DisplayReality you can test these on outlast, the evil with pc games on the dark room please. but you should take video each one on normal use distance. and you can combine these videosu. and you should right plus and negatives side on the video. english isnt my native languange so i dont understand what do you talk. :)) alot of people have same problems .this is international channel. :))
@@TrigoteryX ok I understand now. I will try for a future video.. dark room Gaming with a raised iso to show black performance with different brightness settings to remove back light bleed. Blb.
@@DisplayReality thank you . and i want to ask something. i heard something about fan noise. is that true? and we turn off monitör on bottom but it works afew minitu for cooling itseft is that true? so i can remove Do we have to wait for it to cool itself without unplugging it?
you may be emotionally attached
Thing is I have been getting alot of comments agreeing that the QD-OLED monitor is not bright enough in regular sdr mode. Ppl who actually own and see what I'm talking about vs other monitors. HDR is amazing but nit everything is available in hdr and windows 11 hdr is not so great by ppl who comment. Tho I love it in hdr and it is the best in that mode.
@@DisplayReality i see
Excuse me sir is there any difference in Odyssey g7 32 Vs 27. 32 variant can do ps5 at 4k 60fps is it has more pixels that bet 4k native. Please reply sir
I got the 32" because the 1000r curve is strong. But both are equal in performance and the 27" would look clearer as the ppi is better. Either size is great for ps5.
@@DisplayReality but it enables 4k 60fps does it look like some artifacts on it?
your AW2721D monitor is thrash nothing beats QD OLED
Only in hdr..
Your retenas must be burned. I run my Samsung odyssey at brightness under 20, any brighter it hurts my eyes.
I just love bright colorful pop. Filmmaker mode is too boring. Anything under 80 brightness to me is boring. It's just the way I like my things. But regardless I show pure max power. If at under 50 brightness all Monitors look the same.. plus even if i set to max brightness all monitors do not show 500nits or nax all the time. It's only a peak potential. Many don't understand that. The total picture hovers around 200-300nits in Gaming. But again many don't Test like I do ... real world..
I’m going to probably wait to see if Asus does a release of this display. They usually improve where others fall short.
I can't wait to see what Asus has up its sleeve...
asus is releasing a new revision of the pg32uqx so 576 zones in the pg32uqxe with hdr 1000 peak brightness 4k @ 160hz I think for $2000
This video is highly misleading.. Your colour calibration is way off on this comparison, and that throws off the whole comparison itself making the LCD look much more vibrant...
Please do proper colour calibration and run the tests again.
P.s. Brightness isn't everything. I wish people who run their monitors at 100% brightness good luck to their eyes...
It's all about preference. I love brightness and yes it's one of the most important things besides speed of the panel. I am showing 100% power if Monitors. Oled ppl always Comment that brightness is not important because it loses everytime. Color is always there now days with dcip3 at 90% or srgb at 99%. Yes... the Aw2721d is much more vibrant because of the brightness power. If you had both sude by side you would see what I am showing... if I lower brightness like many are saying to do then they are equal and then the qd oled wins in true black contrast and speed. That is not a fair comparison as why am I lowering power or potential of a monitor to make oled look nice or better. Nope.. I am not a baised technology channel. Truth hurts for sure.. hey I'm stuck with this qd oled even tho I find the brightness not as good as my other monitors. I show the monitors at 100% full potential...
im planing to have both these monitors for my set up, 27 for gaming, and 34 for movies
Nice! You will be happy with both.
0:24
Nice 37:9 monitor. Def the future for gaming monitors.
This is on SDR Mode on both. True HDR content is another story and the QD-OLED Wins..
U can't tell me wat to choose I choose aw2721d it show better to me. Unless my eyes giving me problem 🤣
Lol... the aw2721d is very good. I love it...
The video convinced me that i don't need it but the comments are telling me otherwise 🤣
Lol... once you have it. You will feel it was worth it...

Your channel because i like your honesty and non sponsored fair reviews of monitors 👌🏼
Thx friend...
I have ALLIENWARE AW2721D from DAY 1 2021.Im playing games and i do photos on amateur level!
Its the best monitor and it will be the best also for all 2022 at 27 inches.Later we will see.
I agree. It's an amazing monitor.
Ι do have have the AW2721D but my main gaming monitor is an LG CX.
I was pleasantly surprised with the HDR capabilities of the Allienware but with SDR mode i do keep the brightness at 40%.
What i don't like about it is that edge lit system that it has,in dark scenes it messes the overall image.
Try different modes. Mode 0-2... rtings says 1 has less fluctuations I believe.
@@DisplayReality More or less are the same,distracting.I can live with that as time goes by.
When you do this kind of comparisons you should remind your viewers that ΟLEDS do not have any backlight bleeding.
I believe that for many this is an important bying factor!
My AW2721D suffers from backlight bleeding and as an owner of an OLED panel i find this a big minus!!
@@Silverbolt1981 thx For the advice. I will as I have got some comments saying the same on BLB..
❤️
this was the first model ever Dell/Alienware AW3423DW! just whait and watch what competition will do to perfection!
only one big thing: its not good for eyes top play at FULL NITS ETC. i dont`t use full nits... i have a super acer x38 i love it,. However that contrast and nits i cant use on full boost``` Ever. to much. anyway u are correct . at least with ips u can chose, but damn that Ips Blomming follows the NITS :( i hate bllom.
better whait a 1-2 years! if u al ready have hz and close to 4k.
i must set i Down for my eyes to survive, HOWEVER more importen is that ALienware34 oled has render sub text problems , thats means it not a good scrren for edting etc and that wont work for a all around monitor as all LCD/IPS panels does. and it no hdmi so its not a buy a console gamer eighter, when this sceen only delivers movies and games for that price. yes ips now., Oled in two years, .
please bro try the LG C2 42INCH as a pc monitor, i want to hear your opinion
I have some videos up (see playlist) its a great option. Its bright (brighter than the new 27" oled). As long as you have a hdmi 2.1 gpu you should be fine and desk space. It reall is immersive
@@DisplayReality thank you, I’m still scared of oled burn in , because i can only order them online with no warranty, heard the LG 32 4K with semi matte coating is the closest to oled
So I just got through listening to HDTVTEST review on the QD AW and for the life of me I'm not for sure why but he did not test and input lag over DisplayPort at native resolution, but instead tested input lag over HDMI at 60 hertz..
And then he said after getting something like 12 or 14 seconds of input lag that input lag would be reduced over DisplayPort at native resolution...🤔
You think?!!!🤔
Well, oh great display tester tell us what is the input lag in DisplayPort which is what everyone is going to be playing on that buys this monitor for gaming!!!
Do you happen to know what the input lag is?
Ok, they just left this response to my comment I left on the video🤦♂️...
"The Leo Bodnar tester and the Murideo Seven G signal generator we use to measure input lag only work over HDMI. If you know of a publicly purchasable solution to measure input lag over DisplayPort at native resolution, please let us know."
Woops
While I do belive this is the fastest gtg monitor I have seen at first Impressions. See techtesters aw3423dw review. They rate it at 1ms real response time.
@@DisplayReality o, I was talking about input lag
I am debating between 3423DWF and 2723DF. Super torn between these two
Thats tough. They are completly diff. The main thing is the DW/DWF are awesome at HDR while the 23DF is fast and a colorful IPS (tho no zones). If you mostly play in hdr get the oled if usually in sdr mode the 23df is best. As you could work and play on it and no burn in warranty even tho dell has a 3yr burn in warranty.
Aw2721d end neo g8 2000 nits
Neo G8 will prob be the best monitor this yr for me.. it will be here day 1!! I will somehow throw an online party 🥳 on that day
@@DisplayReality it was? as neo g8... all people on internet say samsung quality is trash
Hello, I find many people complain that aw3423dw has PWM, low frequency flicker, and font defects - colored edges and sawtooth. Can you tell me the actual situation? thank you!
I have some seen pictures of that colored edges say on a mouse cursor. While if I zoom in for a pic its there but you don't see that. These reviews are getting out if hand... we have one side which is trashing this monitor and the other that's glorifying anything OLED. Neither are true. There is not issue on color fringing, but if I zoom in its there. I don't see the pwm flicker (I'm picky) no defects.
@@DisplayReality you can’t turn off the pixel refresh? Is that where the monitor forces degradation of the pixels to ensure they are all at the same level?
@@mikerzisu9508 I meant you can turn off the notification. But the refresh will happen when you turn off your monitor or it goes on standby. You can't disable that feature. I mean it needs it so it's good thing. Just annoying as when u want to say restart your monitor it will for 10min flash green to refresh. I have mine all day so once every 2 days it does it. Not annoying but bothersome as I'm not used to that stuff.
@@DisplayReality what does the refresh do exactly?
Boy you are really having fun with the QD OLED monitor
I really haven't even played much as I have been making videos and have a real life.. 😆 as i need to adjust settings for my personal use and separate for videos.
Turn color temp on the left down a little. I had/have the Meg 342C and unless you're using some "premium color" option, you have temp too high.
This red cast on the QD OLED is very wors.
Its due to the purple haze non polarizer. Its called display wave spectrum. In real world its not present.
Nice review ! But i find the new oled stand width kinda wimpy compared to it's predecessor the 3420dw loll
This was pretty well done video. I have the QD-OLED preordered and i see the brightness is a big sell today because of all the nits. But currently i use the monitor brightness at 64 so QD-OLED should be great. The detail loss in color and the black levels i wouldnt be able to shake off. I think many people are use to seeing tvs too at 1000 nits all the time.
Having both monitors the QD OLED at 100% is like the AW2721D at 50% at least in SDR
@@letslachflash Thats good to hear. I saw HDTVTest QD-OLED rundown. Im all in with it now. Cant miss this.
Yup that's about right on 100% to 50%. That's why I say about the 70% brightness ppl will love it. Both offer amazing tech..
