AW3425DW burn in at 5 months of use how fucked am I?

I'm at almost 3.5yrs with my AW3423DW, well north of 10K hours of use. Haven't checked on a Grey background in a while, but no visible burn-in in use.

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.

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

For those on the fence to buy the LG45 5k2K with lower GPU than 4090/5090 or WOLED fear as QD OLED owner

TL;DR – LG 45GR95QE Experience with RTX 4080 GPU Performance:Works great even with a 4080 (non-Super). You’ll need DLSS Performance in most games, but at this resolution, DLSS-P looks cleaner than DLSS-Q on lower-res monitors like the AW3423DW. Game Benchmarks (DLSS-P + Frame Gen): Cyberpunk 2077: ~

Has anyone gone from the AW3423DWF (Or other 34" QD OLEDS) to 45" 5K2K LG

I just went from an AW3423DW to the LG UltraGear 5K2K. No regrets. I haven't watched a lot of HDR content but I love the new display. And I don't miss the sleep issues I'd have with the Alienware.

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

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.

Has OLED Burn In Issues Been Solved? Looking to upgrade my ASUS ROG Swift PG348Q.

Burn-in hasn't been solved, but it has been mitigated and is way less prevalent today than 10 years ago. Though, burn-in is a function of OLED because the pixels wear out when they are used and there is no world in which they don't wear out. Because of that, it's not a matter of "if", but a matter o

What are the best ultrawide monitors in 2025

Been happy with AW3423DW. Tried both LG 5k2k and G9 G93SD(no tizen tv version) recently. Opinion is subjective, and my experience may be affected by the fact that I’m wearing glasses. LG 45 is something different for gaming. Crisp, immersive, wraps around you and make whole world feels spinning arou

Best Gaming Monitor Right Now?

I had an AW3423DW a few years ago, but office apps unfortunately caused helluva burn-in after 1.5 years of mixed use, even with frequent pixel/panel refreshes. Amazing monitor for gaming. I got it replaced for free with Dell's burn-in warranty, but gave the new one to my wife to game on, opting for
