My monitor came with those dreaded scuff marks from the bubble wrap. I used distilled water and a micro fiber cloth to get rid of most of the surface level dirt/residue, but there are hundreds of little pin-dot marks that do not come off. Luckily, you can't see them without the aid of a flashlight shined directly on it at an angle so it's pretty much a non-issue aside from the fact I know it's there lol

Great video ! I do have a question though, i do play sweaty competitive FPS (CS2, R6, Valorant etc.), i play on a 24inch 240 hz (Alienware, bought it 8 years ago). I am hesitating between the 2k 27inches oled 360hz and the 4k 32 inches 240hz ones. Do you think 32 inch is too much of a jump for these type of games ? I mean, it's pretty big though :D
@rafatorr407 3 ай бұрын
It could be.. it depends on each one to consider it.. 27-28 is perfect spot, but 32 is maybe the perfect balance if you also play cinematic games

Please, what is the best setting on alienware for SDR if I like a bit oversaturated colors ?
@Aquaquake Ай бұрын
Great review, thanks! I do have a question however, at around 4:25 onwards you talk about this DSC thing, some "DLS downscaling" and how it impacts older games. I'm not very tech savvy and I do play older games most of the time, so can you please explain a bit more what those things do and why it matters that Alienware doesn't let you disable it?
@ColeCaccamise Ай бұрын
DSC = display stream compression. DSC itself compresses the image so that it can run at higher refresh rates on Displayport 1.2 and its not noticable. NVIDIAs downscaling for older games lets you render the game in a resolution higher than 4K and then downscale it to 4K for a clearer image. For older games where you can already run at 4K with high frame rates this is a big advantage as you can upscale it past 4K and still have goofd framers. This monitor though does not allow you to use it.
@Aquaquake Ай бұрын
@@ColeCaccamise I see, thanks a lot for explanation! Do you think that's something that could potentially be fixed with a firmware update, or is it a hardware thing? Also would you happen to know if other competition (from LG or Asus) support this?

If you're into eSports, 32" feels like the max for seeing all corners of the screen. If not, LG C3 can be had for less with more screen real estate if you want more HDR shows angle. In general, 32" is a really good spot to be. I went with the C3 and it's perfect for everything but esports. There are days I wish I had gone for this, but also days that I don't! Edit: Previous monitor was 32" LG GQ850-B, Great IPS.

@Crisheight 3 ай бұрын
@@ColeCaccamise Yes, it's the 42" on a monitor arm with vesa mount. That's the tradeoff basically, I'm able to sit back with a controller and chill, or have stuff on in the background in a way that the 32" monitor doesn't do. It kind of just made me more aware that there isn't a one stop shop though. Like if money was no issue it would be smarter to get a 27" oled for gaming and a big tv for everything else, but I can't justify that atm. edit: I thought the C3 wouldnt be bright enough because I'm next to a window but it does just fine and you dont get QD-Oled black raising (tradeoff is WOLED has worse color saturation).

MSI is releasing 3 versions all using this same panel. The MEG version which I think will be released early Q2 2024 that does support DP 2.1, the MPG version which should be released by the end of this month and has DP 1.4, and lastly the MAG version which literally no one should buy because it doesn't support any software updates. The MPG version's msrp is $950 and the MAG version's msrp is $900. I'm guessing that the MEG version's price will be more in line with the other manufacturers that have an msrp of $1200-1300.

Say if you wanted an ultrawide resolution of 3840x1620 for example you cant set this custom res without tweaks. To get it to work you need another 4k monitor/tv and turn off the AW to set the custom res on the other monitor. After its applied, turn on the AW and you will now get the new Res and 240hz. Its cumbersome but its a workaround since we cant turn off DSC.
