[@alexmathewelt7923]

Great review, highlighted pro and cons of the monitor without overhyping/etc . I'm using this monitor now for over 1500h while not beeing a hardcore gamer. I mainly program in dark mode and low brightness (0-15%) and have nearly no static elements. The rest of the time I play Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor, Elden Ring, Horizon Zero Dawn, Forza, Anno 1800 or watching HDR Movies from BluRays (more on that later). Have not experienced any burn in so far. Interestingly, the color management does work very well with my ArchLinux distro, but obviously no HDR so far, while colors in Windows, even with the DCI-P3 color profile for this monitor installed and activated, are all oversaturated and greenish. So use HDR TrueBlack or HDR1000 with firmware M3B104 and get excellent colors with 10bit resolution. I have some tips (especially, because most reviews blame the monitor for the text clarity, but that's actually a software issue): For Windows Users: u can use the newest MacType from GitHub (snowie2000) and edit the default.ini and replace the "[GENERAL]" part to [GENERAL] Name=AW3423DWF PixelLayout=-18,-11,2,22,16,-11 I'm also using AntiAliasMode=2, HintingMode=1,GammaMode=1 and some weighting adjustments: NormalWeight=22, BoldWeigt=5. But they are just personal preference. For Linux users (I use it for programming): u can clone freetype2 and install it from source (depends on your distro). Before building, u have to edit the ft_smooth_init function in src/smooth/ftsmooth.c: sub[0].x = -18; sub[0].y = -11; sub[1].x = 2; sub[1].y = 22; sub[2].x = 16; sub[2].y = -11; and comment out the #define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING in config/ftoption.h Important information for watching movies: You cannot watch HDR from Amazon or Disney+. I didn't test Netflix, but it shall support HDR for windows users. Maybe the firetv stick let u watch HDR movies from Amazon. As mentioned, I use HDR Blurays with MakeMKV and VLC (u need an 4K BluRay Drive, for me the Verbatim works) and that looks amazing. Hopefully those who have this monitor or are willing to buy one find this information useful, the reddit thread is unfortunately private since a few days or weeks. So searching the internet gives nearly no results anymore...

[@MrKrakuza]

Noted, just in case I purchase this monitor

[@TechMetalPenguin]

So glad I found your comment! This would be pretty much my EXACT use case (except I use Manjaro, I could install Arch, but I'm lazy, don't hate me plz x'D). I've just bought a DELL S3422DWG and it's destroying my eyes, I believe I will return it straightaway... I have 3 questions if you don't mind: How is the OLED treating your eyes on dark backgrounds and low brightness? Do you experience less eyestrain or fatigue? Aren't you afraid of "burning your code editor and terminal" into the panel by programming on it? Do you need to keep a 16:9 monitor as a fallback (or second monitor) for some use cases?

[@raphaeldan]

❤

[@alexmathewelt7923]

@TechMetalPenguin first, I'm so sorry for my late reply. YT didn't notify about any comments I got except the heart comment... hmm the monitor will feel unusual and maybe uncomfortable the first days. I have migraine and had an episode cause of that, but if u have atleast a dimmed diffuse light and not a spotlight heading to the monitor, I think, this should be no problem. Atleast I had not experienced any issues since then. Only turning the dark mode on and lowering brightness +/ contrast will not directly result in less eyestrain, because of the infinite contrast of OLED. But with greyish brackground it does help a lot. One remark here: the grey will have a "film grain" look to it, but that's part of the oled technology as I have read somewhere ("rtings" maybe). If u have problems with flickering lights/LEDs, I strongly recommend turning FreeSync/Adaptive off (there is a guide in the archwiki (search for "AMDGPU"), maybe there's one for nvidia too) and wayland supports it directly in the "Display Settings" menu, cause the monitor will flicker caused by interference. So far I didn't need a fallback monitor. The only time I had no picture was caused by the monitor turned off when I started my computer. The DisplayPort protocol couldn't initialize it correctly as I turned it on later, but if urs is just in standby or if u turn the monitor on shortly before u turn on ur pc, the monitor should always work. If I need 16:9, I can just use the 2560x1440 resolution. In the case u ment a fallback monitor cause of health issues, there are some days with migraine were it could be useful, but I decided: If I am this sick, that I cannot use my monitor, I should stay away from monitors in general on this day and trink some more water, only read a books, go outside... in rare scenarios in which I must use it, turning the brightness and contrast down helped a lot and I'm happy the monitor can go this dark, while still things are visible. So far, I'm not afraid of burn in, cause my brightness rarely exceeds 15% (I'm mainly active in the night, the day is very loud and bright -> stressful for me). In my intuition about QD-OLED technology: less brightness -> less energy -> less burn in. And a cool remark, since I got it to work the last days: HDR Gaming, watching HDR movies (from bluray) and youtube HDR is possible on Linux with this monitor and amd gpu. I tested Jedi Survivor, Elden Ring, Horizon Zero Dawn. Forza will probably not work, cause it doesn't even start in Linux without HDR :/. But it's a bit tricky to get it working (the tutorial alone on HDR monitor support does not work). If u're interested, I'll try to write a short guide, how I set it up.

[@sinnwalker]

[@SharpAD]

I don't know if anyone mentioned in comment yet, but Dell released few days ago a firmware that fixes HDR 1000 peak mode issues. I would highly recommend update to the latest firmware to get HDR as it meant to be. Now the HDR quality on both dwf and dw is on par after the firmware. There is literarely no more reasons to buy the dw version over dwf, before the fix of the firmware dw version had a lot better HDR peak 1000 mode. Not anymore tho.

I have been using this 3423DW monitor since December last year and use it only for FS2020. It is been a delight since I first installed it and the performance is simply breathtaking. I guess when running it hard with fast gaming it performs really well. The only comment and small criticism I do have is the toggle control for the settings that will never be my favourite way of adjustment. This gets in the way big time if you are using a Tobii 5 eye tracker as the mount has to be attached below the frame. All in all, absolutely delighted with it in every aspect, buying without seeing one in action is always a leap of faith, this is one I got right I am sure. Great review, glad I found it thanks . . .

Anyways let me know.

[@JustinTechTips]

hey @retrolivegaming9600 yes that one is definitely my favorite. Two things to take note on. The Xeneon Flex since it is so big will have pixels large enough to notice them if you plan to view your screen closer than 2 feet. Honestly though it's so big that it feels weird to sit that close. Second thing like you said is the lack of adjustability (height adjustment and no VESA mounting) bestbuy.7tiv.net/anNOxj My second favorite is the Alienware OLED in this video. bestbuy.7tiv.net/DKMxaq The picture is slightly better than the Xeneon Flex.

I paired that with a 4 year warranty which kept it under $700 after tax. I moved from the 38" LG Ultragear UW which is double the price. The contrast, deep blacks and rich tone in general have justified the purchase while saving me $1000. Good luck.

If you enable Gsync perhaps it good to have but all my years using Nvidia GPUs (3080Ti/4090) I never, enable Gsync so it was an easy choice for the DWF.

You'll regret getting 4k. Even the rtx 4090 struggles to go past 100fps. What's the point of a 4k 240hz monitor when gpu can't even fully utilize it?

[@jayboiification]

4K seems pointless to me at this size. 1440p is the sweet spot imo.

[@Glow0110]

If I am an investor with lots of charts open and constantly going back and forth between tabs and applications, do I have to worry about burn?

[@mikeclark1326]

I will be getting this monitor in a few days and new to oeld, any advice to avoid burn in and firmware updates ?

[@samboelguapo6826]

I got this monitor today and it is absolutely beautiful, iam genuinly suprised at how good and how different the graphics are, but when set up my monitor seems to be tilted a little towards my right, do you think its a faulty stand or something i have done wrong? Any response will be apreciated

[@JustinTechTips]

It’s actually got a pivot of 5 degrees in both directions so you should be able to just rotate it towards the left to even it out

[@AngieP9965]

Is this monitor appropriate or good for having it as a main monitor for a razer blade 15” laptop?

[@CaliradoKid]

Great review and breakdown! I just picked one up using your affiliate link!

[@Ceeziep]

I heard about coil whine. Is this true? Even with the newer model ?

[@richardb7093]

at aprox 8:58 you stated that the DWF has the ability to upgrade the firmware. Then at 8:59 you state that the DWF does not. Which is?

[@JustinTechTips]

@richardb7093 sorry, the DW does not. The DWF is the one with the ability to upgrade the firmware.

[@richardcates8605]

That was such a great review. Thank you

[@2kBuilderB]

Hey does this not support hdmi 2.1? Sorry I am not super familiar with monitors and trying to research.

[@nickwestwood3057]

Hi I m looking to buy my first gaming screen and this one looks like the best, mainly using for Flight sim24 and Tower pro3, would all this work on this type of screen? I'm new to gaming and trying to buy the best set uo, thanks in advance.

[@lesurlately9311]

Is this good to use for playing cod on PS5?

[@Tucks034]

Would I be better off getting this monitor for my Alienware R16 i9, RTX4090 or a 4K monitor? Awesome videos, no stone left unturned 👌🏼

[@JustinTechTips]

@Tucks034 Thank you Tucks! I personally prefer this one over 4k. I like the wide format and don't think the jump from this resolution to 4k is worth the decreased fps

[@Tucks034]

@@JustinTechTipsgood, I already bought this one 😄 thanks mate!

[@KapinKrunch]

So would you recommend this over the lg 34" superwide that is normal oled, matte screen, 240hz and the curve is much more aggressive. I just don't want to feel like I'm missing out on the higher refresh rate. I have a 4080 super So cod and fortnite could absolutely reach 240fps. Things I like more about the alienware: more subtle curve, better colors and more brightness.

[@stevetech1949]

Really nice review! I picked one of these up today at my local BestBuy for $650. The OOTB video settings are oversaturated, but easy to fix with a few menu adjustments. I will need to find a shallower stand as this one sticks out a whopping 12" from the wall and is really in my face. Other than that I just LOVE it already. Do you believe in love at first sight? 😅

Hi. Can you please answer! l 🙏. will the pictures quality look worse than 4k 32-Inch nano ips monitor? Cause I used 2k 32-Inch monitor before, and the games looked a bit pixilated and not too clear compared to 4k. It was night and day difference for me going from 2k to 4k.

[@pliat]

well, a 2k (1920x1080) 32' monitor will have (4739ppi^2) 4x less pixel density than a 32' 4k (3840x2160) monitor (18956ppi^2). this 3440x1440 monitor has a pixel density of 12030ppi^2

[@Roy-jo9up]

@PIAT I don't understand this that much, but it seems like it isn't a huge step up from 1440p to 4k.

[@pliat]

@@Roy-jo9up it is a large step in terms of number of pixels, but you are on about pixel density, and a smaller 4K screen would have a far higher ppi^2 than a larger one. These pixel density values are for those specific size and resolutions of monitor. ppi^2 (pixels per inch squared) increases with higher resolution and smaller screen size.

[@hansolo631]

@@pliat 2k isn't 1920x1080

[@pliat]

@@hansolo631 yeah, it is. The 2k represents the 1920, the same way 4K represents 3840, and 8k represents 7680

[@2AFreedom]

Would I lose any performance or features when I would buy the DW with an AMD GPU? I like the white better since my setup is all white but it has Nvidia gsync instead of the AMD freesync like the DWF.

[@quintenwauters4479]

I have read multiple posts on Reddit and Dell about these having terrible coil whine and having to go through 4-5 replacements before finally getting a good one. Do you know anything about this? I'm the type of person to do weeks of research and this one came out the best for me, so I feel extremely disappointed that after weeks of research, I might not get the monitor I want bc of something like this.

[@haies09]

Why is the right half of my monitor darker than the left half? Is there some sort of demo mode that I don’t see?

[@pizzashaman]

Do you need a 100x100 vesa adapter to mount it ? I have the Ergotron HX Wall adapter that I want to attach it to but not sure if I also need the adapter or if it will slot right in

[@garoosh8172]

Are the side bezels thicker than the top bezel?

[@haies09]

Why not hdmi 2.1?

[@DiegoPerez-wm6et]

Would have any recommended settings for gaming?

[@fmatax]

Thank you for the review. How about using it mainly for office work? Would it be susceptible to pixel burn out?

[@Seriksy]

You never buy an OLED if the main purpose is office work. Not only are you at a higher risk of burn in, but OLED screens have not clear text quality compared to regular IPS panels and such. If you do mostly office work, get a Mini LED. OLED screens are targeted towards gamers and media consumption, not office work

[@fmatax]

@@Seriksy Thank you, i did not know that.

[@Seriksy]

@@fmatax You're welcome! Just to be clear, I do a lot of programming, but I also do a lot of gaming. Perhaps 50/50, so I'm going for an OLED, more specifically the Samsung Odyssey G8 :) You just have to accept that you can't get the best from both worlds, and I want better quality when gaming, and less so when coding

[@Sapca1111]

Honest response, AW3423DSWF or Samsung OLED G8?

[@oreroundpvp896]

I think the samsung is slightly better with its 'smart tv' esque features but it also costs an extra $300 and doesn't come with such strong warranty. The difference is negligible between them though in terms of what you want with a OLED monitor but the G8 looks nicer aesthetically

[@DelScully]

ill be using this monitor for gaming but also browsing the internet mainly youtube tho.. I assume that'd be fine and wouldn't burn in?

[@ericborman5550]

I got this monitor after watching reviews, I use an Xbox series x. The picture looks bad and can’t even tell notice from my old monitor. Do I need a PC to actually use this monitors great picture?

[@redenpacay]

is this monitor good for CAD drawings? is there any distortion about lines usings curved monitor?

[@prophetseven728]

What would you pick for an Editing Monitor, Photos and Video than watching youtubes and videos and also 10% of the time for Gaming?

[@andrzejj9]

Did I catch this right that this is glossy panel? Are there any 4k OLED not glossy panels? I really dont like the reflections when working (and watching movies too).

[@jorgeluisfernandez2560]

Between this and samsung oled g8 which think you is better? Thanks a lot

For warranty wise , better avoid Samsung cuz it's such headache to this with the CS in Asian , I'm prefer dell

Is this better then lg ultragear 32 inch 4k monitor?

[@bilboswaggins5647]

just struck a SICK deal and got one for $900 CAD. stoked to get it.

[@Ratbane]

Lemme know how you like it! I’m considering it too

[@dantem306]

Best $1,000 I ever spent. This display is amazing!

[@Airblazer]

the key difference between the DW and DWF is they dropped the g sync module for the DWF hence the cheaper price. Its till g sync compatible though.

[@bugrist]

What does it mean? Will I lose something important without g sync having an nvidia gpu?

[@Airblazer]

@ nope. You’ll still see the benefits from it. The whole g module was an utter scam from NVIDIA anyway when it was possible to do via software without the hardware.

[@erikjoyner7767]

Would you go with this or the samsung oled g8?

[@Asbel-]

So hang on in other words you don’t recommend this monitor for daily used? Besides gaming ?

I mean it is beautiful but you will experience burn in with things like menues that are always on screen after a few years unfortunately..
