Deliberately Burning In My QD-OLED Monitor - 15 Month Update
Nope. Here is the AW3423DW I used for gaming but also working from home with static content, after about 2.5 years of full time use.I got it replaced under warranty and sold the new one. I use a mini LED now as a compromise.I loved this monitor, and this took some time but burn in can happen and I w

No Comparison to OLED
More like, "a picture is worth 1000 lies." I went from QD-OLED (Alienware AW3423DW) to IPS black (Dell U4025QW), and the difference in everyday use is so small as to be unnoticeable. Photos exaggerate the IPS glow to a ridiculous degree. It's nothing like how human eyes perceive it.

aw3423dw Came out in 2022 with 1000nits peak brightness. In the same year the s95b qd OLED TV launched with 1000nits on a 10% window. in 2026 we are told the next gen qd OLED monitor will have 1300 nits peak brightnes. in 2026 The s95h TV is launching with 3000nits on a 10% window. So over the same

Noticeable VRR flicker with G-sync Pulsar
This kind of shit (particularly with OLED) is why I am so wary about giving up my AW3423DW. It's the only OLED monitor with a hardware Gsync module, and thus the only one that seems to have reasonable VRR flicker performance. We're almost 4 years on from the launch of this monitor, and have been hea

For those who have purchased an OLED monitor, do you regret it or would you recommend it?
I bought the aw3423dw when it first came out, $1300, still using it today and no visible burn in. I think if you want some peace of mind, get the newest gen QD-OLED panel (is it on 4th gen now?) from a vendor with a 3 year warranty and enjoy the incredible boost in visuals for all content. The only

VR as a home cinema/theater replacement?
I do. I never liked watching movies in vr, but it finally passed the threshold for me with a bigscreen beyond 2. It’s lightweight, OLED, pancake lenses and has high enough resolution. It’s the first headset that checks all of the boxes. I ditched the audio strap and use Sennheiser 650s with an amp.

I'm still rocking and love my 1st gen AliExpress aw3423dw but the hdr improvement are laughable. Gen 6 that is supposedly coming this year has just 300 more peak brightness and 100 more at true black settings? I want to experience 240hz since it's more accessible with Nvidia mfg but everything else

The Akita is a money printing machine in Cursed Mode
DAMN. I bet gaming on it looks amazing. I run an Alienware AW3423DW and I love it. Ultrawide and Super Ultrawide (when supported) are the best for gaming.

Game Ready & Studio Driver 595.59 FAQ/Discussion
For one...even on a normal OLED, VRR is still very useful most of the time. Takes somewhat wild framerate swings to induce notable flicker, or quite a low framerate (at least on a lot of models, some are pretty bad though, I'll admit). For two...OLEDs with hardware Gsync modules that bring them to t

Nvidia releases first G-Sync Pulsar update to deal with artifacts below 90 FPS, plus a new 60Hz mode
I'm really interested in Pulsar monitors but I don't know if it's worth swapping to from my AW3423DW OLED. I love the colors, but I am a pretty competitive gamer... and honestly, the idea of old games that are locked to 60fps feeling more 'crt-like' just kind of sounds awesome.
