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

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

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.

OLED monitor recommendation
Damn that's a solid build, the 9800x3d is gonna crush souls games For OLED I'd say look at the LG C2/C3 42" if you want the best bang for buck - can usually find them on sale and they're perfect for single player games. If you want something more monitor-sized the Alienware AW3423DW is still great b

How are people dealing with OLED VRR Flicker?
I left oled because of this. The DELL AW3423DW had like no flicker. Rtings speculated that it was because it had a GSYNC ultimate module. Sadly, I sold that monitor because of the ultra wide format and back then many games I played didn't support ultra wide so I was kinda tired of tinkering around w

Can some explain the different kinds of frame sync?
You're incorrect about no sync and the different VRR methods. Other people have already covered no sync, so I'll focus on VRR. You're correct that gsync, FreeSync, and adaptive sync are all implementations of VRR. In fact, when you're generalising this hard they don't even deserve their own category

AW3423DWF owner on my 3rd unit due to recurring coating issues - Dell offering refurbished same model each time - is this really the best they can do - any advice how to deal with this?
I’m sure your receipt date will be what matters, push come to shove. I’d just push on the fact that the many refurbs they’ve sent you all seem to have the same issue and request a newer model as a replacement to escape the issue altogether. I had an AW3423DW since its first release, and not long bef
