Dual Mode 4K LCD, Is It Any Good? - Dell Alienware AW2725QF Review

[@Peoplesuuck]

Thanks for doing these videos. This is the ONLY channel and source that I can both appreciate and understand everything I need to know before making a monitor purchase. Really really appreciate it. Please never stop.

[@dynastes4938]

So many video "reviewers" do not even understand monitors or measure them properly. Tim is extremely good at both :)

[@Dark.Syndicate]

@@dynastes4938 very true. most other channels dont care about proper scientific testing

[@yasashii_koe]

@@dynastes4938 I love how most reviewers just gush about the hz but are incapable of testing if the monitor is even displaying those hz at all. Like on this monitor; you are not getting a 360hz experience and it's more akin to a 240hz monitor instead.

[@BobFolowski]

Based on the comments I feel like a video demonstrating the difference in aliasing between 1440p 27in, 4k 32in, and 4k 27in could be informative. Maybe an added comparison with DLSS or anti aliasing techniques could help pad the length. I feel like bumping up to 4k 32in isnt worth the relatively low ppi gain from 1440p 27in as going to 4k 27in would speculatively be, but maybe I'm wrong? Though it doesnt seem like it given how much aliasing I see currently with my current setup/viewing distance. Playing games like Arma where distant objects/infantry make up only so many pixels, having a higher ppi under those circumanstances would seem very beneficial, though you would think otherwise based on many comments on this video.

[@quinnocent]

I think it's important too. 1440p to 4K is about double the pixel count. That's literally twice as much image information. That absolute difference will trump PPD in many scenarios. Think resolving small or distant objects or seeing the full detail of visually noisy high-fidelity objects (the most realistic trees and certain textures). I've been using 4K for a long time. In many use cases, 1440p to me is like noticeably pixelated, even at much lower screen sizes. Like even on laptops. Once you get used to it, the difference is super clear, and it's hard to go back. That said, resolution matters much less while the scene is in motion on certain types of games. So I can see why some people think it's pointless.

[@BobFolowski]

@@quinnocent I'm curious how close to your screen you typically are? I feel like that can also be a big confounding variable. I guess the qualms I might have with 32" would be mitigated by simply staying a certain distance away but I feel like that might be impractical unless you have a deep desk. Your point about motion mitigating the issue makes sense. At the same time, that only solidifies how aliasing can be a problem when dealing with static elements of gameplay (e.g. the hood of a vehicle when playing racing games)

[@StaySic4Ever]

Yeah some people don't make sense when they say X size is overkill or 4K is overkill in general, like what. Even 4K can still need some small AA as it's not as high PPI like other displays. We'd need 8K for 30-40" monitors to have no aliasing and have clarity like say phones. Going from 24" to 27" and 32" I'd just push each further away a bit from me. So really 4K to me a minimum for a desktop monitor in terms of clarity. I also have a 90cm deep desk too.

[@mrdali67]

Well, just go and watch a 40" vs a 90" tv screen that unless your loaded with money ,, is still just 4k .. and how much 8k material are you going to able to find anyway. 4K will be the standard for at least the next decade, if I'm guessing right. I just watched a 95" Samsung iirc. And it still looked pretty god damn awsume .. even the ppi is like 9x worse than a 32" 4k monitor. If your watching it at the correct viewing distance, It's my understanding that our eyes/brain automaticly blurs the pixels. How many years did we live with 320x240 interlaced 26" CRT's ?

[@Jojo_Tolentino]

I was like "why cant they make a 1440p to 1080p" then my stupid ass realized it wouldn't scale properly and ruin image quality.

[@briando8150]

It requires (dynamic stream compression) DSC. Some people really hate DSC because it's technically compression and comes with like 2 bugs. Fullscreen Exclusive takes an extra 3-4 seconds to alt+tab out of and you can't use DLDSR. That being said, 4K does NOT need DLDSR, that's actually overkill. Most people us TAA or DLSS which smooths pixels so DSC doesn't matter anyways if you can see the 0.001% difference it makes to making text half a pixel sharper (in motion it's visually identical. I've tried pixel peeping for hours at this point and can conclude DSC makes 0 differences when you're actually using the display). And the alt+tab bug can be fixed by playing Borderless Fullscreen instead of Exclusive.

[@yoriiroy1720]

@@briando8150 the alt + tab one is an nvidia problem

[@user-ui4fn6fj3p]

It's not actually a good feature. It's a lazy way for monitor manufacturers to offer a new product before it's ready. They really should focus their efforts on pushing for the things required to drive these panels at their full rate. There is no excuse for Ada GPUs to still be on DP 1.4.

[@ecvent0r]

What we need is to get to 8K displays that can have scaling modes for resolution + refresh rate. 8K integer scales pretty much to any common resolution, per one axis 2x 4K, 3x 1440p, 4x 1080p, 6x 720p. Now make the refresh rate scale inverse with the resolution by the per axis multiplier,and also make it handle entirely in software instead of having to have a hardware button or switch. An 8k 60hz display configured in such a way could be the holy grail of monitors for lossless sharp scaling. Mark my words, this is going to happen eventually.

[@MaratTanalin]

Absolutely. Ability to switch losslessly between 4K and QHD on the _same_ monitor would be amazing even if 8K resolution itself was not available.

[@winterhell2002]

You missed 480p (9x) which is a very common resolution on 6th and 5th gen consoles. And by extension 480i and 240p as well.

[@mrdali67]

Only problem is the GPU. We don't know yet how much a beast the 5090 is gonna be, but my guess is its propably gonna be a solid 4k gpu with Raytracing as the 4090 is just a "basic" 4k gpu. 8K propably not gonna be viable until the 6090 or whatever its gonna be named. It's basically going to need to have at lest 4x the raw performance to a 4090. I know Nvidia have thrown around thos kinda uplifts from one generation to the next before, but those were usually just a Wet dream of Jensen with a real life uplift of maybe 50% if really good 😆

[@ecvent0r]

@@mrdali67 My point wasn’t that you’d ever play at 8K, or even 4 necessarily. It just is a perfect integer multiplier for pretty much all resolutions to enable integer scaling so you’d be free to choose 1080p, 1440p or 4K without suffering the blurry bilinear scaling. Through DLSS in the mix and even a 4070 would do the job fine.

[@MaratTanalin]

@@mrdali67 That’s the main misconception about 8K. 8K monitor does NOT have to be used at 8K all the time; the power of 8K is the ability to switch LOSSLESSLY between 4K and QHD on the SAME physical monitor with INTEGER SCALING, depending on the usage scenario (use case). Multiple other resolutions are possible with no blur-caused quality loss, too: FHD (1920×1080), HD (1280×720), and multiple in between with black bars around the scaled image.

If the variable OD and ELMB is as good as the xg27ucs and xg27acs, it may be the best dual mode LCD for awhile

[@P0meSutt0n]

I think its arguable that the extra visual clarity of 4k gives you more of a competitve advantage than the higher refresh rate 1080p, depending on the game. We need non oled 4k 240hz monitors.

it's a shame backlight strobing is being ignored. it's extremely good tech that's easy to add to backlit LCDs and it helps with sidescrolling or tracking objects in motion, especially when done right. its the only reason I cant switch to OLED, hence why the PG27AQN is the goat atm.

[@roller4312]

How does sharpness look at 1080p? Is it a true 4:1 division or is it blurry?

[@MaratTanalin]

1. Could you provide close-up macro photos with each logical pixel being a distinguishable square of 2×2 native 4K pixels? 2. Is integer scaling used at FHD when switching to FHD in a _regular_ way (like on any other monitor) without using the dedicated dual-mode toggle? 3. Is integer scaling used at _other_ non-native resolutions such as 1280×720 (3×3 pixels) or 640×480 (4×4 pixels + black bars around the scaled image)? Thanks.

Perfect for my use case. A single monitor. Not always the best hardware to run 4K maxed out, so I basically have two in one.

[@galeru]

One advantage of Dell monitors is they have inhouse color calibration. They had it since the ultrasharp days. So, the average users don't have to calibrate to get accurate colors. Definitely an edge over other brands.

[@HLM24]

This is so weird. This monitor is being sold in my region at the same price as the AW2725DF (1440p OLED). Yet, according to DELL USA it´s 600 USD (2/3 of the 900 USD asking price for the 1440p OLED).

[@JamalienN]

Perfect monitor for me. Hate the OTT oled hype atm, oleds simply are not bright enough for a well lit room or durable enough for a monitor which I want to use for both work and play!

False as someone that owns a Oled. This isn't true, and Oled looks so much better it isn't close. The only Oled that i seen people complain about brightness is the LG. I have the Asus and brightness isn't a problem at all. I don't know about work don't use it for work.

[@moldyshishkabob]

I can't help but wonder if Dual Mode monitors are a response to "1440p is the best of both worlds crowd" to make 4K more palatable. I'm still firmly in the 1440p crowd, but it's cool tech to see, especially outside of the OLED market. This is a much nicer price to see, though I'm personally wanting something HDR-capable.

This question maybe dumb but I am still wondering. Since this monitor obviously can refresh pixels at 360 hz, why cannot do that at full 4K resolution?

[@epiccontrolzx2291]

Not enough bandwidth from the DP or HDMI cables. This why DP 2.1 port is in high demand, it would allow 1440p 900Hz or 4K 480Hz or even 8K 160Hz

[@WrexBF]

@@epiccontrolzx2291 The bandwidth isn't the main issue. The monitor hardware can't run more than 180hz at 4K.

[@mineralisk]

Thank you for your answers. @@WrexBF I thought it's GPU responsibility, and the monitor hardware hardware itself shouldn't care what the resolution is as long as it can refresh pixels fast enough, but apparently I'm wrong.

[@MrRotch61]

The integer scaling implementation with the 360Hz mode makes this monitor an instant buy for me. I've been waiting for a Firmware upgrade for my FO32U2P that allows me to disable DSC so I can specifically use Integer Scaling (for some older games that don't scale well at 4K), but there's no sign of that releasing anytime soon.

[@Your_Paramour]

Why does DSC prevent integer scaling? Is it an nvidia driver limitation?

[@WrexBF]

In order to use integer scaling, lower the refresh rate to one that doesn't use DSC. HDMI 2.1 can run 4K 153hz at 10-bit and 188Hz at 8-bit. Those are right on the edge so, I recommend you do 144Hz 10-bit or 180Hz 8-bit to avoid random black screens.

[@MrRotch61]

@@Your_Paramour Monitor's Unboxed did a video that talked about it more in depth, but yes, I believe it's an Nvidia limitation, rather than a problem on the monitor's side. Nvidia could re-work their drivers to unlock features like Integer Scaling while DSC is enabled, but they haven't for whatever reason.

[@MrRotch61]

@@WrexBF I believe I tried a while ago, but even reducing the FO32U2P's refresh rate doesn't automatically disable the DSC signal like you'd think. It's forced on for everything. I even tried dropping it to 60Hz, but there's no Integer Scaling option in the Nvidia Control Panel. However, I did try this with DisplayPort, not HDMI. I had the same issue with an LG32GQ950-B. If I had DSC enabled in the monitor settings, even if I limited it to 4K 144Hz, the Integer Scaling option wouldn't appear in the Nvidia Control Panel. I had to manually disable DSC in the monitor settings for it to work (to make the monitor go from it's 165Hz overclock to a locked 144Hz). I'm not sure if all monitors are like this. Do you have one where changing Refresh Rates automatically disables DSC?

This. Fuck OLED.

maybe someone here could help me out a bit. i'm looking to get a new SECONDARY monitor. what i'm looking for is 1440p 27" 120hz+ lcd with decent enough specs (just don't want the image to look shit compared to my other monitors, i'm aware that it will not look exactly the same) and good price. anything except asus is fine, i've lost all trust in this company. the reason why i'm asking here is because looking for a secondary monitor is a lot harder than looking for a primary monitor with all the right specs haha (sure i could just buy anything but i hate buying something without doing my research just to find out later that there was something better for the price)

[@Battler624]

I want a 5K/1440P version at that size :(

[@khlaps]

At that point the just get the 2k 360hz. Its higher resolution at 360fps and much lower price

[@lil----lil]

MoUb: After 4K@240Hz. There's NO GOING BACK! Only forward!

[@MeoithTheSecond]

I wish there was a 1440p 32" oled monitor, not really keen on upgrading my hw for another 4 years.

[@bobo-cc1xw]

title is incorrect says 160hz when it is 180hz. I would guess as 180 x 2= 360. Like that this feature is coming to monitors makes sense for esports. But 4k at 360hz would have it its uses

[@pedro.alcatra]

180 is considered overclock. the monitor is 160hz from factory

[@PG-gs5vb]

@@ninele7 It's actually 165Hz for the base mode.

hey yo can you invert your colors on your graphs and give it a black back ground with white text lol

[@WrexBF]

That response time is pathetic. Why did they even bother?

[@griffin1366]

I just assumed it was OLED... But IPS? And those response times? HAHAHAH

if only it was 23.8" instead of 27"...

Still waiting for 24" 1440p OLED.

[@crabosity]

not happening it would just look like 1080p anyway

[@griffin1366]

@@crabosity I have one of the older 24" 1440p IPS displays and I love it.

1. Can we change the resolution to 2k in 4k mode? 2. if yes, then how much refresh rate we can get in 2k model?

[@avatarion]

1080p is 2K

[@randyvelasquez7908]

@@avatarionno it’s not 1440 is

[@avatarion]

@@randyvelasquez7908 2560 is 2.5K, double that is 5K. 1920 is 2K and double that is 4K.

I would rather buy a 32" 4K 160hz monitor for $150 less.

[@MultiNastyNate]

There are better 4K monitors at lower price points? Ok, I'm listening

tbh these response times look pretty sad

Review more like this, if they exist, please

Xiaomi g pro 27i 27inch 1440p 180hz miniled IPS with 1152 zones 360eur in my country. Any chance we get a review?

[@AquilaeYT]

35% of refresh compliance at extreme OD settings for 360hz...yep, no thanks, oled exist.

[@HappyHubris]

Without the response times getting better at 1080p, this looks like a solution in search of a problem. 4K@27" is also not great foe produxtivity. 240Hz 1440p with ULMB or OLED blows away this offering in bith productivity and gaming.

[@volaan1842]

AI has come a long way, the presenter looks quite real,

[@markthompson4567]

think the title is wrong think it should say 4k 180hz LCD....
