As written in the QD-OLED vs WOLED comparison: I returned my Alienware. Cannot disable DSC unlike on ASUS, which makes Nvidia disable DSR for games and video upscaling. Also, the AW doesn’t achieve actually 1000 nits with DV, it clips everything above about 500 to white. You’re stuck with True Black 400. See for yourself with the Windows HDR calibration tool.

The deal breaker for me with this monitor is that it didn't have a 3.5mm audio jack. I like to connect my speakers to my monitor so I can have sound output for both my PC and PS5. Because of this, and the fact that I prefer flat over curved, I did pay the $100 extra price tag on the ASUS PG32UCDM. However, at the current discount of the Alienware right now of $999, If I was in the market now, I would prob get the alienware for $300 less, and just get a cheap ARC soundbar for the PS5 and pocket the rest.

Why then not just plug in a soundbar??! This Monitor uses EARC that will Pump Audio Into that and just plug Headphones into that.., I'm sure there's loads of Soundbars with 3.5mm Audio Jack Audio Passthrough!! Then anything you've connected to this Display.., PS5 & or PC will Push Audio to your headphones.., you could even just use a standard Analog Mixer.., or PC Audio DAC..., the latest Wireless Steel Series Headphones come with a solid ESS Sabre Processor Chip.. ((One that's been held in high esteem within the Audiophile / Tech Community!!)) Just do your research and check reviews.. a TON of the older headsets even just a few years ago have bad quality plastic that cracks and breaks.., better opt for the one's known to not have a bad reputation for breakage!! You can also just purchase a Steel Series DAC individually and pipe Audio out from your Optical Out on PS5 & PC into that!! It's kinda sucky to use HDMI for Quality Audio.., when you've the option for Low Latency SPDIF Digital Optical Outputs!! IT's Literally Light Speed Fiber Optics.., and no radio / WiFi-magnetic interference you'll always get using wired outputs on thick long cables such as HDMI..,. and extended wires going from your Consoles into headphones!! You'll ALWAYS have Analogue at the END of you Chain.., NO Headphones are PURELY Digital Afterall! That's precisely why you need a DAC ((Digital-To-Analogue-Converter)) So you'd still have a 3.5mm cable going from your DAC into INCLUDED or WHATEVER Headphones you've plugged into ANY DAC you've got piped into your AUDIO Pipe-Line.., either that.., or if you've a DAC that includes a pair of Wireless Headphones.., then you'd skip that 3.5mm entirely!! I don't understand why you'd want to piggy-back the Standard Audio that comes LOADED with HDMI Signal Processing Delay and such.., from your PC & Console to Headphones UNLESS your planning to JSUT plug in a Soundbar to this Alienware Monitor's EARC.., which is what that's for.., since It's NOT critical to get PERFECT Sound using External Speakers like a Sound Bar.., and you'd MOST-CERTAINLY wouldn't have a need for EARC for a Headphone-Focused Setup!! UNLESS monitors grow major legs and Feature Creep in a TON of extra's like a NICE DAC Processor Natively built in.., your expecting WAY too much out of what's meant to be a DISPlay-FoCUSED-Periphery!! That'd just Jack up the Price and Put off potential Customers.., thus.., it's STANDARD usually for folks to separate their Display Chain from their Home Theater Audio-Receivers.., especially for your specific use case needs!! If you've just a Home Television and you plug in other devices like a Laptop and or a Console and plan to just use a Soundbar.., then.., BOTH this Monitor & the MAJORITY of TV's these days out there already have all you'd need for that without any additional hardware pucrases necessary! Though it does seem your looking at a Headphone setup.., THUS.., use a DAC plugged into the SPDIF out of your PC's Motherboard.., and the Included Drivers / Realtek Digital Sound Software that your Motherboard either came with.., or supports to download from your Motherboard Manufacturer's Driver Download Support Page!! Me personally.., I've an ASUS board.., so Sonic Studio 3 works Wonders with this OLD 2012 DAC I still had laying around from an "Old Turtle Beach Headset I used a way DeCADE ago..., and it suits me Just Fine.., even have a mini small desk-friendly Analog Digital Mixer plugged in my Chain at the END.., so I can Mix in other inputs.., such as my phone.., and such.. and It even mixes in Wireless Bluetooth to Wired or Wireless Outputs!! ..., ~ Over-&-Out!!~

I mean, I currently have dual 32 inch 60 Hz refresh HD monitor for my set up. Yes it is a 1080P monitor and it’s a big 32 inch display so you could see the pixels. Definitely thinking about upgrading to a better monitor and this one was perfect because I did not want to compromise on the size of the display but at the same time I want a good quality display with high refresh rate. And this monitor fits everything 32 inches, 4K, 240 so high refresh rate. But the cherry on top is the fact that it’s an OLED which is a big deal because I can’t get over the fact that my main monitors for my main gaming PC set up are not sharp. And for other people, maybe they don’t really care or can’t even tell the difference but I could tell the difference due to the fact that I do daily drive a 15 ProMax, 23 M3 Max MacBook Pro 16in, 24 iPad Pro 13in, and an Ultra Watch. All these have OLED displays and definitely there’s a big difference between OLED and a regular non OLED display. But the price might be a little steep, but I’ll probably just buy one out of the two monitors and it will be my main monitor out of the 2. This would also tied to the fact why I want a curved gaming monitor because my dual monitors right now are curved monitors and it would look weird if one of them is flat and the other ones curved. 😅😊

Got one last week with discount from Dell. Can easily work around the lack of audio interface and lack of kvm. Curve is not an issue, just.. different. Once you start playing all worries disappear. This is a gorgeous display, oled panels are a major leap forward in pc gaming display fidelity. Long anticipated for good reason. The high refresh is the icing on the cake. Aside from increnental improvements in refresh rate and brightness, I dont see a major generational movement like this until micro LED tech arrives in this segment. Could be another decade away.

Had this monitor since launch, had to exchange the first two (packaging issues with screen and second had a scratch) which Dell did BUT the final monitor I got now is fantastic. I run in HDR True 400 as I find it looks better. I can game for hours and never once have I heard the fan turn on. Overall, a fantastic monitor and I absolutely love it, the colors just pop.

This monitor is soooooo good. Cannot even describe it compared to IPS or VA. I game and do work on it and blown away. Never would have thought a new monitor would make me want to use it so much more. I used to use my older MacBook with Retina display for work. And predator 1440p for gaming. Now this on is better than both all in one. Cannot describe how good it is and I have never written a review on something as overlooked as a monitor. Oh and the CURVE is actually perfect! I used to despise curved monitors but this actually help and make all corners easy to see.

If you use this monitor as an entertainment screen you could use DV. I'm thinking Netflix etc. Of course the media has to be encoded in DV.
@EditioCastigataАй бұрын
Windows only sends HDR in DV. Difference is, DV is mastered for 1000 nits and has a different color curve than just HDR10. (Spoiler: The Alienware clips everything above 500 nits on Peak 1000 and DV, therefore actually is either dim or doesn’t support DV.)
