they fixed the screen scratching in the later batches and new productions, it was the foam screen protector causing the scratches, which they have now changed

@@Mmat2016 So far, I think it's amazing. Brightness is more than enough for me. I had a LG 27GR95QE before and the difference is night and day. Glossy really beats matte.I heard the MSI QD Oled is great too. Had to reduce the rgb on my keyboard though, and place the monitor a little further, I could see the reflection of the keyboard lights on the screen.

I don't really feel like using first generation QD-OLED burn in test results to talk about the as-of-yet untested 3rd generation QD-OLED panels and how burn in resistant they are in comparison to WOLED is a responsible choice. Especially since great strides have been made since the first gen panels came out in terms of longevity.

@rawrss Ай бұрын
No. It's like having a freeway with a speedlimit of 100KM/60MPH and you're riding your normal bicycle as hard as you can. You're not reaching the limit. However, if you think you'll eventually upgrade, it's a nice future proof feature to have ready and waiting for your shiny new build. 60 to 144hz is huge. 144 to 240hz is less. 240 to 360hz maybe a pro/aspiring E-sports gamer might notice.

@andrewmorris3479 Ай бұрын
Bought this as soon as it came out and while I did love it at first, there are a lot of compromises Dell forces on you from logo dimming to gamma. I upgraded to the ASUS PG32UCDM and it’s amazing because it has two sRGB modes that target two different gammas (2.2 and sRGB) and these two are very different looking. The problem with the AW2725DF is that by only tracking the sRGB gamma in SDR makes single player games look really washed out. Aside from that I had some strange stuttering from time to time with Halo 3 at over 500 FPS running the monitor at 360Hz and VRR never worked as smoothly as the 27GR95QE I had before it. There’s a reason all of these 360Hz QD-OLED’s aren’t G-Sync compatible and I think there’s more to the story there as the AW3225QF is.
@adrianomart Ай бұрын
2.2 gamma is definitely washed out, but 2.4 looks alright for most content and 2.6 can give a contrasty look if the content itself is washed out
@andrewmorris3479 Ай бұрын
@@adrianomart2.2 settings is actually really accurate but it’s not targeting 2.2, it’s targeting sRGB gamma just like DCI-P3 mode that isn’t targeting D65 even though they said it was calibrated as such. A couple of weird details missed by Alienware here.

Nope. Depends on the game. You need a good cpu too though as at 1440p its game dependant whether it’ll be cpu or gpu holding it back Always with PC gaming say to yourself what games will i play most CS2, overwatch 2, apex and valorant your get there with a 4070Ti super. Personally I’d go 7900xt/7900xtx or 4080 super depending on budget CPU get a 7800x3D

Why can't we have low latency 60hz strobing on these OLEDs? It's totally possible. Why do we have to pretend that 60hz non-strobed is clear and not totally smeared? 360hz is awesome but hardly anything maxes out the refresh rate apart from esports.
@Ruben98RaptoR Ай бұрын
Because strobing destroys HDR and makes these already dim monitors even dimmer
@0mnis14sh Ай бұрын
@@Ruben98RaptoR Good point, but surely like some TVs we could get extra brightness without the pixels burning out as they'd be off for half or more of the time.
@shizukulover Ай бұрын
@@0mnis14sh makes sense but 200hz on tv for strobing is started off as a colour thing due to the white backlight washing out the colours and then as a motion clarity thing due to residue from previous frames. OLED products suffer with neither of them problems so I guess they chose not to go down that route. Would be a good feature though for sure
