Its not clear glossy. It has a grainy film: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7uiftJ1pqm2loU.html I think we should call these types of monitors semi-glossy to distinct it clearly from clear glossy screens.

You forgot to mention it has best warranty ever

How does text look on it?

Do you miss your ultra wide aspect ratio?

looks really good. @@deluxebigmac

@@deluxebigmactext in games looks great. For work, it would take me a little getting used to, but I only use it for gaming.

@@JEFFREYSOLORIOno, I thought I would but I like the 16x9 aspect a bit better in most games. I might miss the ultra wide for FFXIV because I like the extra screen space for maps and stuff, but so far I really like it.

Agree. Fuck LTT.

Digital Trends reviewed it earlier

​@@arthur78that DT "review" wasn't worth the time it took to watch it.

​@@phrozenliquidzyeah. It's more like an overview than a proper review. Absolutely no measurements.

What's ltt

Burn in is still a concern. If you are using it for context creation with a lot of fixed elements on screen (like any software UI) you present the opportunity for these things to "burn in" to the screen. Most reviewers will tell you that OLED is impeccable technology, and one that is perfect for content consumption (Aka: using a panel for 4 hours or less a day) but prolonged usage is still a problem. Heat is your number one issue with oleds, which is often why most cannot get all that bright. If you intend to use it for content creation (or simply as just a normal monitor) use dells 3 year warranty or get geek squad from best buy. Remember - burn in is not an "if" but a "when". It's an inherent flaw to the label type that is unlikely to change soon. You can mitigate it somewhat by using dark modes on all your apps, setting a black screensaver to turn on after a minute or two, hiding your task bar and desktop icons, and either rotating your wallpapers or settings them to black. Oleds have to be babied. Gen 3 seems to be doing better than previous generations with this specific issue, but it's not perfect. Just be mindful of these things and you'll be okay for a couple of years.

yeah that's exactly why I suggested including warranty info in the reviews. All of your concerns and suggestions are completely valid, but if this monitor is as good as it seems, if it lasts more than 3 years it's worth the price when you're using it to make money. Thanks for all your thoughts on this @@0hMyGandhi

It is mainly for people concerned with Burn-in, BUT Dell does give a 3 year warranty for burn in compared to most in the industry giving 2 year. I can say I have had my g8 for about 8 months and I do everything on it and have no concerns for burn in... but not everyone is like that

Yes.

wait for fw update. dont buy yet, its a wreck

@@mz1929 yeah I can’t anyway as I’m not in the US, hopefully by Feb 6th when I can buy it all the issues will be fixed! Anyway by then I’ll be able to see some of the other monitors as well

@@mz1929what’s going on?

There’s nothing going on it’s the best monitor out rn@mz1929 can’t afford so he’s making shit up .

​@mz1929 what's wrong with it ?

It's worth the wait :)

I hate picture settings do you run on it? I’m running windows 10 still so would that make a difference in what settings I need to be running on mine?

@@rahb2096 why stupid people have to answer a question is not for them?

Lacks USB-C input, KVM, and DIsplayPort 2.1. Small issues but HP Omen might have them all, so...

@@Ranguvar13 Quite minor issues I think, want to see reviews for the AORUS and HP - maybe they'll be a little brighter but of course they don't have that nice 1700R curve.

​@Ranguvar13 Omen looks like the best of the rest, sadly no release date.

@@alejandrosilva9683 Yeah, I would rather buy a HP product vs. one from Gigabyte/AORUS too if it came down to it.

If it were 5120x2160 I'd consider it...ultrawide or nothing.

There is no way to calibrate HDR professionally, there is no standard.

It's just because OLEDs are so fast, so the less blur makes 60fps look AWFUL.

hhhmmm shurely it's cause of the refreshrate. got an omen x27 for 3 years now. running no sync's at all 60 fps information for a 240hz panel without is more than to less as input. 120fps is also not fluid. 180 starts that i would say. And 300+ is a little better than 240

HDR profiles are irrelevant. Every game, every movie, every show is different. HDR regardless of settings always looks washed out, less bright, and less color pop.

Care to link the video?

@@flamingrage100its called QDEL

@@stianlavender1683 thanks

good question ppi is better ofc but picture quality i think no diffrence

sure why not. use it.

Unfortunately that monitor you are talking about is matte :( and it’s also WOLED which makes me wonder fixed the pixel layout on that display

@@emiel255 yes you are right I wpuld have preferred a glossy finish on it but I do my gaming in a semi lit room.So I don't think I would mind it as much aince the display is apparently capable of 1,300 nits of brightness. The dual mode is really what is drawing me in tbh.

@@Anakin_Ackerman yes but that 1300 nits is only on a 2% window max which imho is nothing but at least it’s an improvement over 2nd gen OLED hahah And that dual mode you are talking about is a big feature and I think they should do this on all premium monitors. It’s such a cool idea it even makes me wonder why it hasn’t been done before ages ago. Although I would have preferred it actually if it was 480hz 1440p (which is possible with the current tech) and then a 4K 240. That would be more appealing to me I think because more and more people are shifting towards 1440p as a ‘sweet spot’ and 4K as a higher end product anyway (yes 1080p has still the overall majority when you look at the steam stats for example but it is diminishing more and more). I think in a couple of years 1440p will be the standard instead of 1080p

@@rahb2096 So let me get this right, you think he did not mention it becasue its only on some of the time. M8 are you ok.

I heard on other reviews it’s not noticeable at all

@@elchancho8432 Yeh, This may be a good thing, problem is, when it gets summer, when the fan fills with dust, after 4 months how is it then? Becasue it cannot get better only worse.

Please report how is it with ambient daylight.

@@thepadster123 I have the gen 2 version and it really sucks ik daylight. I have full Blackout curtains so not really a problem but the black floor rises so easily…

Far, far, far better. I'm kind of a font nut, and I'm typing on it now. 140dpi is phenomenal, it easily overcomes any minor fringing at any size.

@@Ranguvar13how much of an upgrade is this for you than the g8 or aw3423dwf?

Haven't tried those, because I care a lot about text and I want high DPI. Coming from 27" and 25" 1440p IPS monitors and I love it.@@drewand1515

Yeah it's huge. Means you can run this hard with no worry about burn in since you can just get a replacement. Honestly you kinda want burn in so you can grab a fresh panel within warranty.

@@juanestrada3242 I mean last part is debatable 😅 but yeah that peace of mind should definitely be a factor when considering to purchase this monitor compared to an MSI or Gigabyte one which I think are only going to offer 2 Years at most or even none.

@@heyimwooftrue. If you have a credit card that has extended warranty that’ll be good to use it. I’ll be buying one of these monitors soon just waiting for more reviews and my credit card extends my purchase warranty by an additional two years. It’ll be nice not to have to worry about burn ins for 5 years.

​@@flamingrage100oh don't worry, it'll burn in far sooner than 5 years.

​@@juanestrada3242Or get screwed by getting a refurbished one with its own faults like a number of the dw/dwf users already. One reason for this is that there's no way they'll continue to make this panel 2+ years from now. This warranty sounds nice on paper, but it should be taken with some reservations.

Did you buy it?

@@rixiorx Nope... Got something called Innocn. Actually really happy with it.

Do you need HDMI to use consoles or something? I'll just be using it with a PC and DP1.4a will do the job well it seems. Getting my AW3225QF delivered today.

It’s an issue with 4xxx series cards and HDMI on the monitor. DP works fine. Hopefully a driver/firmware update fixes it. I’m also surprised nobody mentions the issue with Dolby vision being stuck on as well.

There are also various other monitors similar from Gigabyte and LG with the latter using WOLED instead of QD-OLED

Have fun with Asus being trash

Slap it straight! You can do it

It depends on how far you're seated from the monitor. 32" can use a slight curvature similar to the one on this monitor. But at least we have more options coming utilizing this same panel.

@@MoeAji What I mean is that the curvature isn't something that I want in a monitor, but I completely understand if other people do want it. It is great we have options now around these panels. Much agreed

i think all of them don't

Dp2.1 is a must

I’m not sure any of the ones in 32” coming out this year have 2.1 do they ? Maybe the ASUS which will be 2 Grand easy

@@user-xl6yo5dr6pDp2.1 is only necessary for 8k gaming above 60hz

Curved or Flat is fine, not a deal breaker.

​@@AlphaKid100Depending on how aggressive the curve is, and your use case, it can absolutely be a deal breaker. 1700 Curve is not bad. But I had a 32 inch Neo G7 with a 1000r curve and it was a nightmare to use with graphic design/illustration software.

​@@AlphaKid100Who are you to say that something is or is not a deal breaker, lol.

There is. You just press windows+alt+b to turn it on and off. It's what I do with my aw3423dwf
