What is that screensaver you're using? Nice review
where are you getting this misinformation that OLEDs are worthless after 4-5 years? There’s people with 10k hours on their TVs that report no issues at all
Ive had my LG C2 for a year now and in that time its done about 3.5K hours (I sleep with the TV on and game alot after work etc).
So far 0 sighn of burn in. Most OLED devices have a bunch of OLED protection features built in to them like dimming the screen, lettinf you know that you should do a pixel refresh and automatically doing it when the TV is on standby etc.
I know that with a monitor it will be facing more static images but frankly with a 3year burn in warranty you cant go wrong.
I hade my c10 since release and I game alot on it And still no issue to this day and it's 4 years old
This guy's an idiot. Absolute your normal consooomer.. so prob very practical reviews for the general reee dard population.. has absolutely no tech knowledge at all just reads stuff off boxes and things he has seen on the internet
I've had a C19 since its release and have ran it 24/7
@Accountdeleteddd888 depends how much you play per day
I still have an LG C8 in the livingroom with no problems at all.
This monitor does not support freesync right now. Any clue why? Is this something we could get this via firmware anytime soon?
hello, have you tested the aoc q27g4xn monitor? is the ips one, not the mini led g3xmn.
which display setting are you using? creator or standard?
What should I pick? Q27G2, G271CQR, 25G3ZM, AG323FCXE, PG27Q15R2, hyperx armada 25 240hz they are similar in pricing
Hello guys it seems that this monitor has some issue about compatibility with few nvidia gpu when its connect with hdmi 2.1, do you know this ?
I want to buy a monitor and I want to buy one of these two monitors, which one do you recommend, dell g2724d vs lg 27gp850-b? can you help me please ?
Would the upgrade be noticeable from the AW3423DWF ultrawide QD-OLED 165hz??? I only game competitive fps. Someone give me advice please 🙏
does vcp codes via controlmymonitor work for this monitor ?
I have this monitor stacked with the new LG39 oled and omg the difference between the two is so much. The Alienware display is simply beautiful
what about the LG monitor? Is it worth buying?
Alienware has more accurate colours @@Xpert45
i was about to buy the lg39 lol
is this also good choice for programming?
Can u plis do a review for the sansui es-g24x5 monitor?
Which ultrawide gaming monitor is the best in the €500 price range
I see you don’t have many reviews on 49 inch monitors like the g9. Are they not good monitors or you just don’t prefer them?
You seemed to pull it out of the box fully assembled... ? Did it actually ship to you wirh the monitor stand already on and e\verything?
Will the dell Aurora r16 4060 be okay ??
Will a 4070 graphics card be able to give me the best out this monitor?
Does anyone know what that screen door effect is? It's been mentioned by a few people on reddit across the new QD-OLEDs. You can see it clearly when looking at the sky at 5:55 to 5:56 - looks like many arranged squares.
No it’s not on QD Oled only W-Oleds and I’ve only seen it on there TVs 2 years ago but they’ve cleaned it up! It’s was like looking through a screen door grid like was basically DSE
How is the ABL in this panel? Is it aggressive? Also, I heard this has active cooling with fans? How would it sound in hotter climates?
It doesn't have an aux out (headphone) jack on the monitor. So if you are planning on using pc and a console, know that your going to have to find some work arounds.
Can I simulate 24inch with this panel?
UK Amazon link is not correct.
Just pulled the trigger on this monitor with my new build($1300 after taxes). Got a 4090 with a 14700k on the way! Cant wait to finally game in 4k with ease.
@@ericpadilla2454 Oh. My. God. I’m jealous. I have 2080ti with i9 9900k with 1080p ultra wide 🥲 pc is 4 years old now.
I just bought this and after a few discounts and promotions from my credit card I got it for less than $700 usd. I can’t wait to use it!
Do you still recommend this monitor today?
Purple tint and low brightness are deal breakers to me. I wish we had more mini-LED monitors in the 32" 4k/240 space.
Not sure how long this was filmed prior to uploading, but there have been multiple firmware updates beyond what is shown here on the day of posting
aah this is some good news, im getting mine in about a week
how do i firmware uopdate
@@newbiegain117 your monitor came with a funky looking usb-b cable that goes from the monitor to your computer, then you download the firmware file from dells website. Super simple!
@@Midnightspace Did you get the monitor?
How is it for you?
@@Midnightspace was it worth it?
Hello. Koorui just released the koorui 25e3q monitor. It's a 1440p 24 inch monitor, one of the few to ever be released in the U.S. would love if you reviewed it.
Do the AW models have more than just pixel shift and pixel cleaning? The MSI models have a lot more it seems (boundary detection, taskbar detection, multi-logo detection). I wonder how they will compare overtime, unless the AW models have the same protections but just forced on.
I just received by unit and what I have noticed is that when I shutdown at night, the monitor does a brief 'clean up' before powering down. I have not had the display interrupt anything I am doing during the day, so it seems this nightly event seems to be doing the job. Also I am being a touch more careful with this display, when not in use for fifteen minutes, I have an OLED safe video running in full window mode, acting like a screen saver.
@@malguskerensky do you use your monitor for productivity? If yes, what's your opinion
@@Xpert45much much better than it’s aw43 brethren! Text clarity is no longer an issue. I have both, and only work on the AW32.
Will this be good for ps5 ?
Can you make a review on the new asus rog strix xg27acs( 230$)
Will buy this one!
its also by far the cheapest (2024 4k oled) in my country
Yeah I’m the UK this is ~ £1000 whereas the others are over £1300.
I ordered mine yesterday😁
How is the monitor doing for you?
@@TheSpiral01 I absolutely love it , its such a awesome monitor i got it mounted on an arm as well it looks slick.
only thing was i had to update firmware for it to shine.
Can the M1 MacBook Pro drive this monitor?
I bought this monitor and have absolutely loved it. Been fun. I upgraded from the LG 240 OLED and the differences are pretty significant.
Is it that good ? I also have the lg 27
@@iCHRIS-x I hated the matte finish more than I thought I would. I got tired of the excessive dimming of the LG and I also got tired of VRR flicker. All of that is drastically better with this Alienware. I set the ALienware to DisplayHDR400 mode and while it sacrifices peak brightness, it drastically cuts back on the dimming and gives a far better experience. Don't get me wrong, the LG was good, but this is much much better. LG really should allow an option via firmware that can allow the user to set a more consistent brightness.
Been thinking of doing the same, except making the jump from the Asus 27 WOLED instead of the LG. I despise how much grain there is on this thing, it's good to know that it's a worthwhile jump and hopefully one that will last. I'm still not 100% sold on the Alienware but it'll be one of the QD-OLEDs for sure
@@Joshua-xh6bm So far, I have zero complaints. The matte coating on the LG, the VRR flicker and the excessive dimming made it less than what it could have been. The Alienware has NONE of those issues. I do sacrifice some peak brightness and use the monitor at HDR400 mode. It provides a nice pleasing and consistent image that I got when gaming on my LG OLED C1 TV.
My 3080 ti ftw3 will hold me over until the 5090 comes out. Ordered the monitor today!
Yeah I am looking forward to towards the 5090 also. My computer rig has the 3090 FE right now. Let's just hope that the 5090 series don't burn up like the 4090 series does now. I am looking forward to this monitor going be epic.
yep same. Got this monitor today so I don’t have to upgrade the monitor at the same time when the 5090 gets released.
@@scottwrezenski2356where you get misinformation like this? I use 4090 daily for high end rendering work and it’s great. Not even remotely close to burning.
Ayyy same boat as you it will be my first flagship gpu started with 1060 then 2070 then 3080 gotta keep the pattern going 😅
Edit: skipping 40 series ofc
I Also have 3080ti hawh hawh hawh, debating this over the 1440p version but it’s an extra 900 bucks
You should review the Samsung Odyssey G4 27’ 240HZ
Is it better to use HDMI 2.1 or DP 1.4 for this monitor with gaming.
DP 1.4.
I am drooling!
I just got mine yesterday. I have a 4090. This monitor is ******* amazing
Same here.. It's awesome. I swapped it with aw3423dwf - no regrets :)
Dude you haaaavvee to review the innocn 43g1v, it's a 43 inch 4k 144hz monitor at only 600 dollars
Please review the new Asus VG34VQL3A! ✨🙏
What medieval game is that during flickering
Chivalry 2 :)
subpixel layout? text clarity? or did I miss it
czcams.com/video/CVVsIENgiZU/video.html you're welcome
You missed it
I'm considering buying this monitor. Although I've never owned a curved monitor. I'm wondering if a curved monitor like this on is a worse experience if for example i watch a movie from my bed. 2,5m away. does the curve make the experience worse?
If its not recommended, can someone give me an alternative to this monitor with similar specs without the curve?
The curve should be fine, it usually helps viewing angles. There are asus and msi monitors that use the same panel and are flat but for me, in the UK those monitors are £300 more than this
@@nomarxistspls90 I know, but +300£ is ridiculous imo
Would you choose this monitor over the ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDM?
Obviously. Matte coating on rog is a deal breaker. Ruins the quality of the image .
@@silentmaniac3626 PG32UCDM is actually a qd-oled glossy panel. Rog's PG32UCDP is a dual-mode w-oled is the one having anti-glare matte coating.
Would this monitor work well with a 4070ti super graphics card or only a 4090 ?
It depends on the games you play.
Obviously, the answer is a no if you’re playing triple A games because a 4070ti is not powerful enough to run those kind of games in more than 60 fps in 4K resolution
@@NicholasYg it’s just I’m looking to upgrade my monitor and maybe in a year or so my pc too . Yes it’s a better monitor than my current graphics card can output in 4k but seemed pointless to buy a 1440p capable monitor if my card atm would play some titles in 4k or can u use this monitor for 1440p upscaled until such time I upgrade GPU. Or am I way off I’m fairly new ish to pc gaming any advice would be great full.
@@danielbrooks8520I just bought this monitor and have a 3070ti lol. I will have to play at 1080p for full ingeger scaling in the meantime.
I do have money for a 4090build if I wanted but I’d like to see the 50series cards before upgrading, as imo buying a 4090 for at minimum £1600 this late in the gpu cycle is kind of a waste.
Can you explain the hotkey functions in the menu?
The best monitor I've ever owned. I had aw3423dwf, LG C2, Oddysey G7. This one is by far the best of them all. I had to wait for it for 6 months, but it was worth it :P
What didn't you like about the C2? Was the immersion not worth it?
@@BlowitAllUp I already have it as a TV 🙂 I didn't sell it. It's awesome.
There is a current problem with their eARC not working properly. I have connected mine
PC HDMI->Monitor HDMI 2
MonitorARC HDMI 1 -> BOSE Speaker
And sounds doesn’t pass trough…
Have anyone heard a solution for this?
Mine just came in today, I hooked it up to my laptop and it flickers. Any ideas on fixing?
Try turning off HDR at first, turn on G Sync from your PC, Download the Latest firmware and check again
Does Alienware not make a 27” 4K monitor with a high HZ rating?!?! I have the Alienware AW2723DF 280Hz 1440P monitor and I absolutely LOVE the white look!! Thinking about upgrading to 4K since the new 5000 series GPU’s are coming soon but I don’t want a 32”, a black one or one with less then 240Hz!
Same like me
not sure how one is supposed to get to 240hz with HDMI 2.1 or DP 1.4 as neither of those go above 144hz.......
Display Stream Compression (DSC). Monitors have been using it for awhile now..
Burn in?
Currently have the 1440 version and LOVE it. Do you guys think it's worth paying the extra 600 (canadian) for the 4k one? I have a 4080/7800x3d build
Man 4080 and 7800x3d ur leaving cash at the table playing in 1440p
4K.
is the 4k one worth it if u play comp games mostly?
@@clave2049 Absolutely, especially if they’re RTS, TBS, strategy games, much more pixel density.
Same boat kinda, just got the 1440 but I’m contemplating returning to get this one. I have a 3080ti and ryzen 9 so I’m not sure? It looks amazing though but 900 extra dollars? Idk.
Do u recommend using GAME MODE?
I did tried for hours any setting and i came always back to GAME MODE HDR! It seems to be a little bit brighter. Using the Monitor only for gaming. Check out the Users Manual regarding their explanations about those different HDR Modes.
I fell so hard for the HDR peak 1000 marketing for these AWs, it gets close to that at the 2% window, the rest is just dim af lol
Same lol such a bummer
you need to do console compatibility and performance
Great review! But can you notice any fan noise?
I own this monitor….no fan noise whatsoever!
@@Internaut3000 that’s good thank you
Best screen on the market. Period. Sell your current screen and get this one ASAP! QD-OLED technology is the future. Dolby Vision is also a plus.
Your panel does not have the latest update, latest update is M2B103.
104 is out now
Guys how’s it for PS5 ?
There’s no audio jack how do I use with my consoles
How is this monitor for ps5 and xbox series x
HDMI 2.1
I heard this monitor has an active fan, but you didnt mention in the video, so I am assuming you are not hearing it at all?
Will a 4080 be good with this if I’m running everything on ultra 4k settings raytrace with dslrr
I wondered this I’ve got a 4070ti super and wondered this.
Yeah it’s Good, im running it with 7800x3d and a 4080 Super but this would work too & 4k 240hz OLED is kinda the end game too If you decide to upgrade GPU down the line
@@ABHISHEK007420420 thanks yeah that was my thoughts as maybe upgrade in a year or two to 4090 or see what the 50 series brings. Kinda future proof the monitor side of things thanks for the reply dude.
@@ABHISHEK007420420that’s what I’m doing. Just got this monitor and currently have a 3070ti. I’m upgrading my pc when the 50series cards release
I’m also upgrading from a 10year old 60hz 1080p monitor lol so very much need an upgrade
What’s that medieval game looks fun
4:57 which game is it??
Battlefield 1 (the WW1 BF)
Greetings from Brasil! Alienware AW2723DF or LG 27GR95QE ??? Help me, please.
I returned the lg because it wasn't bright enough, low low low light
Waiting for the LG 32GS95UE review!
Its already out on Monitors Unboxed.
Hardware Unboxed just reviewed it.
Stay away, LG is not offering any Burn in Warranty at all, I mean nothing, and shame on them for this.
Alienware AW3225QF or samsung G8 ?
Alienware easily . 3 years warranty and better colours and blacks than g8.
@@silentmaniac3626 thanks, been struggling with these options. Gonna pick AW this time
For the 4090 whats the best cord to use for 240hz in 4k?
HDMI 2.1 over DP 1.4, you’re fine either way, though that’s my recommendation.
@@JD-dm1ujwhy do you say that if you don’t mind me asking?
It offers much more bandwidth and sometimes it will actually look better, colors wise.
@@JD-dm1uj ok thanks 🙏🏼
@@nomarxistspls90 you’re welcome, best
In the video you show an old firmare. The latest is M2B104 (Mar 18, 2024). :)
How do you update firmware on these ?
Download from DELL Support
@@t.7527download from dell support website. Ensure your monitor is plugged in via USB. I just updated mine to the M2B104 this morning. Usually takes about 10 minutes 🤙🏾
just download the latest firmware from their website and plug in the usb cable into the monitor
@@nicoeggert2527 thanks
3:39 wrong. Freesync works excellent in SDR and HDR. Tested with my 7900xtx
The only thing that withholding me to buy this monitor. I also have a 7900XTX. Could tou elaborate on your experience with FreeStnc on this monitor? I thought it did not support Free Sync?
Check out PC Monitor. He makes the best in depth monitor reviews a d he made one about the 3225qf a while back. My driver immediately recognized the monitor and I have had not even issues with vrr flickering so far, not in sdr content nor hdr. Latest firmware March 18th iirc
Does someone has more info about that ? The website says that it doesn't support Freesync Premium Pro, which means no freesync with HDR as far as i'm aware 🤔
It doesn't supports Freesync@@Notimek but it supports Adaptive Sync which is basically the same.
Unfortunately, there's several incorrect information here.
I bought 3 of these to finish my new setup and will retire the 3 neo g8,s
Does Dell know that you have 9 years of warranty?
How much do you want for one? Lol
Here in AT/DE it is the cheapest by FAR. MSI and Asus once again prove to be outrageous in Europe…..
$250 over the MSI 321URX is a steep fee just to get a slight curve. Of course, the MSI is never in stock.
I got this at $982 usd over here in Asia.
In Europe for me its actually 290€ cheaper than the MSI one
All the people who buy this and get scratches out of the box is what makes me hesitant
I got mine a couple weeks ago and it was packed really well with a protective sheet taped to the screen. Arrived in immaculate condition.
I believe Dell listened to the early feedback and it is now a non issue.
@@StonecutterSCno bubble wrap on the screen? Did it have an actual peel off screen protector?
No scratches here
Just got mine had the screen bubble wrap on but no marks. Think its because these are new straight from the factory, so bubble wrap won't have been on long.
Nice monitor, but no power delivery - no deal.
3-5 years sounds good enough. By that time I should be looking for something up to date.
waiting for 3 months update
I have to disable hdr on warzone is too dark
You still haven't got it work on your ps5? I'm on pc for warzone. I used DV for warzone because peak 100 is too dim for that games.
@@studior3dd is too dark u can’t disable HDR on MW3 is just too dim I just remove it and play SDR looks amazing
@joaquinarchivaldoguzmanloe1073 make sure to calibrate the ps5 HDR setting. For the AW, creator/HDR true black/ brightness 100/ contrast 80. Console mode set to off. Try these setting, they look better then SDR.
DV doesn't activate on PS5 VS PC, so if you still want a brighter images? These setting are good in my eyes for warzone ps5.
@@studior3dd I thought HDR peak 1000 was the best ?
@joaquinarchivaldoguzmanloe1073 depend on the games, in warzone you need visibility. MW3 HDR is decent if your playing campaigns. But online? I wouldn't used peak 1000. Peak 100 benefits games with good HDR implementation.
I ussualy use under 50% of brightness on this one
I really want this monitor but I have a 2080ti.
I could wait for the 5090 but then I won’t have the monitor 😅
hey you can still enjoy games in 4K on a 2080Ti if you lower the graphics and use more aggressive DLSS (performance and even ultra performance look amazing in 4K/32") 😊

I know Thunderbolt 4 can get 4k@120hz while HDMI 2.1 can get 4k@144hz at best.
I was going to buy this, I wanted it bad. But no 3.5mm jack, and only eArc HDMI for killed it for me. Why the hell would they do that. I guess sound isn't important to dell/Alienware. You guys never mention this in your reviews which is crazy, like it's not a big deal SMH.
Fa real I haven’t seen a single person mention this lol like that is a DEAL BREAKER
This isn’t a monitor for console users
@@nomarxistspls90 why you say that?
I wish every gaming monitor have controller.

Say it does last 5 years, if you use it every day for five years that’s $1.52 a day. 100% worth it.
