Had no idea this was possible. Good video, Brian.

Great video, just purchased the AW3423DWF model and see there was a update in April. So glad I watched your video before updating. Good to know that i need to change some setting so it does not go into sleep mode etc.

Do update your mobo bios. There's a nasty bug called logofail around. It attacks your bios. All three of my pcs have an update for it on their support site.

hopefully you see this, I have a samsung 4k gaming monitor. I have tried talking to them about it but keep going around in circles. There is no usb port to plug in a flash drive to update the firmware, Two hdmi ports and a dpi port i think. The last time I talk to them they mentioned something about a converter. I am assuming an adapter maybe hdmi/usb . Do you or any knows how i could try to update the firmware to the monitor?

Is the alienware Firmware updater also working on Mac?

Yeh like the guy above says. If nothings wrong don't bother. Manufacturers say the same.

If you get the latest firmware update is it cumulative so you don't have to sequentially install any prior updates leading up to it?

@@bookoobeans Yes, but the buttons you see up and down the right side are across the bottom for me. Plus the Control Panel button isn't standard anymore with how the interface is being completely butchered.

@bookoobeans 3 ай бұрын

e@@AKATEATime I agree M$ butchered the interface once again & haven't learned their lesson. It's very inefficient to use as it is now. Windows 10 brought a two-headed way of using the control panel too, resulting in a multiple-personality interface, completely inconsistent. They tried stupid UI changes with Windows Vista too. They have confused change with improvement.

@OutsideDuhBox Ай бұрын

Did you fix it? Edit. I fixed it. You gotta use that weird usb upstream cable that came in the box with the monitor. I used a hub with it and it worked fine. Gl

@trigger2142 2 ай бұрын

You did not mention the most important part, you have to connect the USB cable before you can upgrade your firmware. I never use the USB ports on a monitor, because I have a usb hub that I use instead.

@didney_worl172 20 күн бұрын

No, the update installs over DP/HDMI-Cable on this model.

Funny I found a bug in the firmware of my Dell monitor and they wont even help. They said they don't release firmware for users to update. The issue is when its on the left and is the primary monitor and if I launch a game and it ONLY happens in games, but if the game doesn't launch at native resolution (1440p) it will push what's behind the game over to the second monitor and what's on that monitor gets pushed off the right of the monitor... Now the lower the game resolution is the more it pushes... so if its close to 1440p very little will push over. Tried and tried to find other owners of this monitor to see if they have the same issue. Dell is useless and refused to help me after almost a year of back and forth. They wouldn't listen to me when they tried to replicate my setup...

@neddy1287 3 ай бұрын

Wouldn't be a bug in my view due to a certain configuration conflict involving the screen resolution as it may need custom configuration to fix that issue you're experiencing as you mentioned multi display setup

@@neccros007 How many monitors do you have? Not all monitors are created equally in sizes and supported resolution modes as if you mixed two or more monitors are same in resolution but not compatible with eachother therefore a problem that why you have to create a customised profile to fix this
