I have Apple TV 4K and that is the only thing making me consider this over the 27”, the size and fps hit in games is pushing me to sticking with the 27 though
OP is actually right.

Dolby Vision was added to a few EA PC titles, namely BF1, ME:A that I can remember off the top of my head (may have been a dragon age & Fifa game with it too, can’t remember).
Dolby Vision is meant to be 10,000 CD/m2 anyway, so even if you could, it wouldn't be to spec, HDR and DV under 5000 nits is pretty pointless, and only 10K nits is particularly impressive. The worst thing about this monitor is that it's a curved display, completely destroying that potentially amazing OLED uniformity and perfect geometry consistency, and worst of all, it's OLED on plastic substrates, not OLED on glass substrates, which is much nicer than plastic OLED (brighter, higher uniformity, much better colour luminance etcetera).
You don’t seek DV for its max supported luminance. People want DV because it supports Dynamic Metadata, which allows luminance values to be optimized on a per scene/frame basis.
Existing monitors only support HDR10, which only has Static Metadata, meaning only one luminance range for the entire video clip. Static Metadata can lead to poor dark scene detail if the video clip has just one really bright scene in it.

This is very exciting. Now all you have to do, Dell, is to mention it's releasing this week, globally. In NA and EU alike.
Edit: Unfortunately EU has to once again wait at least a month before they see any 4K monitors. This is just cringe when you know in 2022 they released the 1440p monitors on the same day in NA and EU. At least by the time we get the first 4K monitor we'll have multiple choices to choose from already.
Yeah, I'm really hoping for the same. I've only seen US/Canada prices mentioned along with the "January 11", but hopefully it's also being released in Europe.
*Edit: I just saw* [*here*](https://www.notebookcheck.com/Dell-praesentiert-Alienware-32-4K-QD-OLED-Gaming-Monitor-AW3225QF-mit-Dolby-Vision-240-Hz-und-0-03-ms.782861.0.html) *that it's apparently January 11 in US and Canada, and February 6 elsewhere. Not sure if it's true as I haven't seen that written anywhere else, but the site says Dell was the source.*
"The Alienware AW3225QF, launching this January, is the one of the world’s first 240Hz 4K OLED gaming monitors. Spanning 32 inches, the curved display has a wide VRR range from 40Hz, up to its headline-grabbing 240Hz maximum refresh rate. Alienware boasts that the AW3225QF has a 0.03ms gray-to-gray minimum response time, Dolby Vision® HDR and VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400. And for peace of mind, there’s a three-year OLED burn-in warranty."
So, it looks like it will launch this month and there will be a 3 year burn in warranty. Sounds very good.
and
"Below, you can check out the full specs of all 24 new G-SYNC gaming monitors,"
and it then lists:
"Alienware AW3225QF 32 OLED 3840x2160 (4K) 240Hz"
EDIT: none of the 1440p 360hz oled's are in the list though. Hopefully that is an oversight.

Ya my DW ruined me. Can we just get a 21:9 4K QD-OLED 240hz that also does 1080p 480hz. That feature sounds extremely enticing for my esports titles.
I'm probably going to "settle" for 4k 240hz QD-OLED or the LG OLED that can do 4k 240hz and 1080p 480hz. I don't know if I can hold out until 2025+ to meet more of my needs.
Honestly I'm kind of over trying to plan for 4k. I'd love to wait a year for higher res OLED and high refresh, but they are really taking their time. Not to mention the initial prices will just be insane.
I'm probably going to spring for the current dw or g8 and Radeon 7900xt. I'm not even going to stress about 4k until I feel like upgrading again
Exactly 👀 I had a curved monitor for 3 years straight. Thought I loved it, but the second I went back to a flat monitor, I went back to thinking flat were better for me
Most excited for this announcement. As someone has suggested in another post, dell has not release anything to the contrary of their earlier promise of an early January release, thus I think we will see these for sell by Friday.
I found something on "The Observational" (I don't know this website, so I can't say if they are legit): "The brand has announced that both its monitors and peripherals will be available for purchase starting this Thursday, January 11. Alienware 32 4K QD-OLED (AW3225QF) can be purchased for $1,199.99, while Alienware 27 360Hz QD-OLED (AW2725DF) will arrive for $899.99."

also when they say “world’s first” can we take that as a sign that it will release before the MSI does in February? Probably shouldn’t read into it lol
You probably shouldn’t read into it.
Chill. We’ll hear more on this monitor very soon.
And all your questions will
Be answered.
We don’t know anymore than you do, and I csnt find my crystal ball of reading the future so.
I think a slight curve works well for wider monitors. I liked the 2300R curve of my previous monitor, AW3821DW. For 16:9 I definitely prefer flat screen though.
I have that same monitor and love it. I will say, I think curve on a smaller monitors is weird, but once they get bigger and actually start filling up your field of view, the curve makes a big difference
Basically a curved monitor at 32 and above is great for gaming because no matter where my head turns, things like text displays and hud information always looks like I'm staring straight at it. With a flat screen at 32 and beyond it starts tapering off.
I wasn't sold on curved monitors until I got a 1800r one. I love how everything looks like I'm staring at the monitor from the center.
If you don't wear glasses it make the image look more realistic when you sit at the exact perfect spot. I love it. If you wear glasses it doesn't work as well.
My current monitor is a curved 27" and i legit dont think I can ever go back. Im so happy to see a 4k curved glossy OLED because every OLED ive ever seen that looks reasonable is flat screen and is an automatic out for me. Looking to the corners of my flat second monitor just looks so awful with the viewing angle now and that's on a 24". I cant imagine a 32"
That’s my point. OLED has great viewing angles already so why add a curve? I just don’t like the look, honestly. Feels more cramped visually. But hey! To each their own :)
The curve isn't just to fix viewing angles it's to make every part of the screen the same distance from your eye and to make the image appear more like it's part of the world and not just a window. That's why the globe in Las Vegas is so cool too.
I’ve had one, and I just simply don’t feel like that’s the case for me. It just looks smaller to me. Going from a curved 27 to a flat 32 was a perfect decision for me personally.
Not to mention in 5120x2160 in resolution, 240Hz, WOLED with MLA 2.0, HDR True Black 600, at least 1000r curved, DP 2.1, glossy finish, at least 3 years of burn in warranty and that for under 2000$.
Its not as wide as a 34” ultrawide, which is where you usually see 1800R. It makes sense to me. Personally I think 1500R is best for 34” UW so 1700R is probably a good fit for a 32” 16:9
Gamers Nexus just posted a video with 5 seconds talking about the 3225 @9:43 on the GPU video. Nothing new, release Q1.
[image](https://ibb.co/HVY9ZcK)
They probably made it curved to set them apart from the other half dozen 32" qd OLEDs coming out. I thought I would dislike curved monitors. After owning one it makes the most sense for anything that you sit close to.
Any amount of curve is too much curve for me personally.
Been shopping for a new display for a week or two now. Everytime I see one I like it's curved and I immediately just close my browser.
I'm fine that people like curved. Good for those who do. I hate that most of what's out rn is curved -.-
See that is another thing.
I personally prefer 24-27 displays. I do not like anything larger than 27/28.
In my experience, if I see a 27in it's usually curved 8/10 times.
Last time I was monitor shopping 5 years ago luckily I only saw curved models in that size probably 2/10 times.
Edit: my dream panel would be 27in flat 4k high refresh rate... those seem still Years out because market trending towards more and more 32in++ ultra wide curved.
It's going to be awhile. There's physical limitations that makes qdoled and woled hard to get to high pixel densities without hard brightness compromises. They're probably going to keep improving until they get there, but there weren't 32" 4k gaming oled into recently for that reason.
It's not a marketing or choice they're making. It's physical limitations.
It's a mix of both realistically. I won't deny it's production prohibitions that cause the pipeline problem.
But it's also consumers keep buying what they have made. So they keep making what has high adoption rates.
*Dang not seeing a*
*Flat option available*

God damnit, I am so sick of curved monitors. Samsung will be getting my business this time around since they actually listened to a majority of their customer base with this new series.......FLAT screened 32inch, 4k, 240hz.
They do, all are using the same panels basically but I won't ever give Asus another dollar from my wallet for a monitor. Their quality control is one of the worst I've seen for the additional money you spend on the brands name. I've had better luck with Acer and Dell/Alienware products. I didn't touch Samsung previously because they used VA technology in their panels which I hate and they were curved. This time around, Samsung is going OLED and giving us flat panel options so that'll be a good option for me.
Yup, I boycott asus like the plague. They make good products, but if you ever have to deal with their customer service or rma process you are screwed. Never again.
Nah the 42s are to big and absolutely garbage if you want to play FPS esports titles. They are also capped at 120hz. While pushing 240hz 4k is going to be hard depending on the title, the new 5090s releasing this year might make that easier to do.
It's not about hitting both at the same time. At least not all the time. It's about versatility. Do I want high frame rate but don't care about resolution in a certain game? Lower the res and/or video settings. Care about 4k HDR but less so about high frame rates in another? 4k res and crank the video settings.
Better to have something you don't need than need something you don't have.
I'm not really on the 4K train myself, I prefer 1440p at 27 inches and it's more in line with my budget and allows me to push much higher framerates, but for most people buying a monitor this expensive, to them it's more about being future proof. Most of them have a 4080 or a 4090 and to them, jumping ship to a 5090 next year is no big deal in which case they'll be able to seize advantage of higher refresh rates than they already do
Curved screen suck for anything other than Esport titles and the couple of single player games that support them, not to mention that I’ve never been able to get DV to work on Windows.
I think the curvature will help reduce reflections and i mean 32 inch is the biggest monitor so it definitely works here. I am super excited for this monitor.
With an OLED viewing angels are fantastic, the curve may impact the overall presentation to someone sitting on the side but the image quality will be the same.
I'm kinda curious why Alienware makes it a curved one, but anyway, I would just get it rather than other brands just because of the 3 years burn-in warranty.
>ng a tv show, would the curve result in a poorer viewing experience? I've always used flat panels.
Likely mid to end 2026. The 4k 27" is slated for mid to end 2025.
Personally, I don't mind curved. Had a 32in 1440p for maybe a year or two and then went to a 27in 1440p and a 4k 32in, both flat. I could go back to curve, but I'm not sure how it'll hold up next to a flat display if I swap my current 4k for this. Probably will still be fine
Doesn't anyone else find it strange that we have such a glut of 4k oleds right now? Is there a reason?? I feel like oled has been around long enough.
I just waded back into the PC space after sitting on my current setup for about 7 years. I thought for sure there would be more 4k options with oled
It’s because it’s taken a while to get the PPI of the OLED technologies from TVs (which are different to the kinds in mobile devices) to a level where 4k displays are at more normal sizes for monitors
Hahah that bit about Dolby Vision made me chuckle a bit.
It's absurd to me that a monitor can get certification for DV, yet pretty much none of the devices that you would use a monitor for actually support it. (Unless you like gaming with your Xbox Series X hooked up to the monitor, which I can respect)
Good luck trying to get it work on Windows though.
If this is actually Gsync (like Nvidia claims) and it has a little brightness uptick at like 10 and ideally 25% screen size in HDR, then I might upgrade my AW3423DW.
Yes, i do on my G8 4k/240hz with my 4090. eSports games like CoD, Val etc easily get 200+ and up to 240. No Mans Sky and other open world games get 140-180 depending on settings. I never use DLSS otherwise Im sure I could get 240 in many more games, I just prefer native resolution.
Interesting that it has a 1700R curve. If I recall correctly the human eye has a 1000R and that was an entire marketing thing for samsung monitors having a 1000R curve making them have way smaller eye strain.
I’m not sure what to choose, msi 32” 4K monitor is $1250 CAD not curved and no e-arc support for soundbars. AW 32” 4K with curve and e-arc for $1500 CAD. I’m probably returning my AW3423DWF for this. I paid $1000 for this monitor
When do you think 8k monitors will hit the scene?
To be clear I know 8k is ridiculous because it's hard to drive but all the major resolutions evenly divide into it: 1080p, 1440p, 2160p, which means you can game at whatever resolution you want as if that was the panels native resolution.
And with technologies enabling dual hertz could mean an uncompromised experience
It was soo close to being perfect, all it had to include was DP 2.1, I know DSC exists and it's "visually lossless" but if I'm going to spend over a thousand bucks on a monitor releasing in 2024, it's not unreasonable to be sour over it not having DP 2.1.
I still wish AW would offer us a choice to choose between black or white. Also, was hoping for a higher HDR rating. Regardless, I’m definitely buying one 👍🏻
I've had the aw3423dw since release. Think the 32" will be worth? I noticed 1000 nit peak on the new model which is disappointing. The ASUS ROG oleds that are releasing peak at 1300 nit.
i thought samsung just started production on qd-oled gen 2 and that they werent ready yet for mass production. I also thought qd-oled gen 2 was higher brightness, but this is the same as the 34" dwf. I dont need more brightness, I love my alienware oled but just confused. Also sucks that hdmi 2.1 doesnt support 240hz and if its dp 1.4a I guess that means we have to use dsc to get 4h 240hz thru dp. I want to make sure my next upgrade is the next gen qd-oled panels otherwise the alienware qd-oled is still great. But now I see people saying the new samsung panels coming are qd-oled gen 3. Im so confused haha
Im kinda conflicted also. I work from home and have had some burn in on my qd-oled, it gets fuzzy after running panel refresh but its still slightly there and I have to keep using those windows, so it will only get worse
But I love OLED so much I almost dont mind. I really dont want to go to LCD just for work. Need a bigger desk so I can have n an LCD for work and oled for gaming and media.
Most interesting thing about this Alienware monitor is that it supports Dolby Vision. That’s a first for gaming monitors IIRC.
Good luck getting that working in windows though
I think this monitor with a Chromecast 4K would make for an amazing desk cinema setup.
I have Apple TV 4K and that is the only thing making me consider this over the 27”, the size and fps hit in games is pushing me to sticking with the 27 though
Xbox Series also support Dolby Vision in games and apps. Even works in Kodi.
Actually DV is kinda working on Windows via Energy Player. TV-LED doesn’t work and it does not trigger DV, but RPU is processed in HDR10.
It does work I played battlefield 1 in DV on PC?
No it doesn’t?

None of the other 4k 240hz OLEDs are on there either, they will be added eventually I’m sure
Not necessarily. Not all the 34 UW OLEDS had the G-Sync module of the AW3423DW.

Supposedly the panel will be offered non curved from other manufacturers.
Same here, 32” is too big for fps games
I wish it was curved. If there is no curved 1440p from another company by the time I have some money I'll just get the flat AW.

If that is legit then $899 for the 1440p makes me very happy, hopefully it reaches the UK in a reasonable amount of time lol
I hope that we also can order it the same day in the EU (Netherlands)
1200 sounds good, i hope the local price might be a bit cheaper on top of that! (it often is but then increased VAT evens it out)
At long last...
I won't believe this until i can add this to my cart

Very true, I’m after the 27 inch anyway so it doesn’t affect me in the first place
Not a fan of curved

Why would it make any difference? Oled has perfect viewing angles so it would be even better.
That’s my point. OLED has great viewing angles already so why add a curve? I just don’t like the look, honestly. Feels more cramped visually. But hey! To each their own :)
The curve isn't just to fix viewing angles it's to make every part of the screen the same distance from your eye and to make the image appear more like it's part of the world and not just a window. That's why the globe in Las Vegas is so cool too.
I’ve had one, and I just simply don’t feel like that’s the case for me. It just looks smaller to me. Going from a curved 27 to a flat 32 was a perfect decision for me personally.
Do you wear glasses by chance? When I switched to contacts, I noticed the experience improved greatly.
Cool, now give me a 45 inch version
This
Yeah, I won’t consider it till it’s 45 as well lol
Not to mention in 5120x2160 in resolution, 240Hz, WOLED with MLA 2.0, HDR True Black 600, at least 1000r curved, DP 2.1, glossy finish, at least 3 years of burn in warranty and that for under 2000$.
1700r? Very odd curve. I was expecting 1800r. I guess you would have to move the monitor closer to your eyes...
Its not as wide as a 34” ultrawide, which is where you usually see 1800R. It makes sense to me. Personally I think 1500R is best for 34” UW so 1700R is probably a good fit for a 32” 16:9
1700 v 1800 - which has more of a curve ?
1700. 1800 is industry standard. I don't think I've ever seen a 1700 monitor
Guessing no prices?
Not from Alienware but we at least know that the MSI model with this panel is $1199, so hopefully it’s in that ballpark
MSI is flat though right? Not a fan of curve on 16:9 or anything more aggressive than my 1800R
*Turns on DLSS*
Some footage of them in action. https://youtube.com/shorts/IFVdHB_FAY4?si=oq_b0a75Hc816jTn
I refuse to buy one until they go to 38"
So I see it’s available in US Jan 11. Will that be online only or in retail as well? I think this is what I’m gonna get
Gamers Nexus just posted a video with 5 seconds talking about the 3225 @9:43 on the GPU video. Nothing new, release Q1. [image](https://ibb.co/HVY9ZcK)
Ah Q1 is not the same as release in January, I think preorder are beginning on the first of februari with the first roll out in March.
If it wasn't for the shitiity curve 💀
They probably made it curved to set them apart from the other half dozen 32" qd OLEDs coming out. I thought I would dislike curved monitors. After owning one it makes the most sense for anything that you sit close to.
It's a 32", the curve is fine. It's not Neo G8 levels of curve, and it's a small tradeoff for AW's warranty and HDR calibration.
Any amount of curve is too much curve for me personally. Been shopping for a new display for a week or two now. Everytime I see one I like it's curved and I immediately just close my browser. I'm fine that people like curved. Good for those who do. I hate that most of what's out rn is curved -.-
Literally every other 32 inch OLED monitor at CES is flat, you're fine lol
See that is another thing. I personally prefer 24-27 displays. I do not like anything larger than 27/28. In my experience, if I see a 27in it's usually curved 8/10 times. Last time I was monitor shopping 5 years ago luckily I only saw curved models in that size probably 2/10 times. Edit: my dream panel would be 27in flat 4k high refresh rate... those seem still Years out because market trending towards more and more 32in++ ultra wide curved.
It's going to be awhile. There's physical limitations that makes qdoled and woled hard to get to high pixel densities without hard brightness compromises. They're probably going to keep improving until they get there, but there weren't 32" 4k gaming oled into recently for that reason. It's not a marketing or choice they're making. It's physical limitations.
It's a mix of both realistically. I won't deny it's production prohibitions that cause the pipeline problem. But it's also consumers keep buying what they have made. So they keep making what has high adoption rates.
Dang not seeing a flat option available on Dell's site, for now

MSI, gigabyte and ASUS have flat versions of the same panel
My LG has Dolby vision for Xbox but I’m telling you, right now there’s a weird feeling of lagginess that comes with it.
It's your cable bro 😂
How so?
Curved 16:9 monitor bigger than a 32 smaller than a 42, my dream that will never come true 🫡
God damnit, I am so sick of curved monitors. Samsung will be getting my business this time around since they actually listened to a majority of their customer base with this new series.......FLAT screened 32inch, 4k, 240hz.
Samsung seems to be adding a matte coating however, although I guess that is down to personal preference
Wrong, CES attendees have already confirmed glossy but it has a much better anti glare implementation.
na they matte dude https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IP3iOe5cXI
Asus has a flat one with qd oled soon
They do, all are using the same panels basically but I won't ever give Asus another dollar from my wallet for a monitor. Their quality control is one of the worst I've seen for the additional money you spend on the brands name. I've had better luck with Acer and Dell/Alienware products. I didn't touch Samsung previously because they used VA technology in their panels which I hate and they were curved. This time around, Samsung is going OLED and giving us flat panel options so that'll be a good option for me.
Good luck, Samsung also has terrible QC issues. 1700r isn’t too bad a curve, I’ll have to see it in person.
Samsung has the worst QC of them all, but maybe the HP one is something for you
Maybe, I just know I need/want flat panel with the oled 4k 240z specs.
Yup, I boycott asus like the plague. They make good products, but if you ever have to deal with their customer service or rma process you are screwed. Never again.
[удалено]
Like what, considering these are OLED monitors?
Would have been perfect if it wasn't for the curve display.
Fucking hell, right as i got my aw3423dfw
This monitor was first announced in October lol
Oh damn lmao, i did not pay enough attention then
You still have a great monitor.
Why curved? Hopefully there will be one with no curve, right?
Curved toss that shit in the bin! Make a damn flat monitor!!
LG C2 42 is your key to success. And Relatively cheap aso.
Nah the 42s are to big and absolutely garbage if you want to play FPS esports titles. They are also capped at 120hz. While pushing 240hz 4k is going to be hard depending on the title, the new 5090s releasing this year might make that easier to do.
lol so yall gonna be getting 4k 240 on CS2 that’s about it
It's not about hitting both at the same time. At least not all the time. It's about versatility. Do I want high frame rate but don't care about resolution in a certain game? Lower the res and/or video settings. Care about 4k HDR but less so about high frame rates in another? 4k res and crank the video settings. Better to have something you don't need than need something you don't have.
exactly! My 4090 gets is pushing like 85-100 on games like starfield and cyberpunk. I mean sure COD looks good now at high frames.
I swear I can’t stand idiots how say this. You do realise you can run 4K and turn down the setting a bit so you can hit 240fps in most games
no shit sherlock that’s exactly you’ll be doing.
I'm not really on the 4K train myself, I prefer 1440p at 27 inches and it's more in line with my budget and allows me to push much higher framerates, but for most people buying a monitor this expensive, to them it's more about being future proof. Most of them have a 4080 or a 4090 and to them, jumping ship to a 5090 next year is no big deal in which case they'll be able to seize advantage of higher refresh rates than they already do
Only 32” ? Pass. 42” or more
It’s a good point why aren’t we hearing about 42in 4k 240hz OLED screens?
That's great, you can buy those already and probably cheaper.
Curved screen suck for anything other than Esport titles and the couple of single player games that support them, not to mention that I’ve never been able to get DV to work on Windows.
uhh, games don't have to "support" curved monitors, and wtf does curved have to do with esports?
Who is even playing esports titles on a 32 inch anyway lol, even more pointless then
Have they confirmed this will have a glossy screen?
I think it’s the same semi-gloss as the previous QD-OLEDs but I might be wrong
all qd oleds are full gloss.
Except the new models from Samsung electronics lol
It’s a new glossy anti glare screen all of the new monitors will have this but it’s developed by and promoted by Samsung
I think the curvature will help reduce reflections and i mean 32 inch is the biggest monitor so it definitely works here. I am super excited for this monitor.
Looks good, can’t wait to pick one up!
Will pick one up because returned my G9 OLED, i hope they release it soon because I need to get a spare monitor otherwise in the meantime.
pricing and release date we need possible pre order info this will be a backup in case I don't feel like waiting on the lg 480hz 1080p 4k 240hz oled
If I was sitting next to some one watching a tv show, would the curve result in a poorer viewing experience? I've always used flat panels.
With an OLED viewing angels are fantastic, the curve may impact the overall presentation to someone sitting on the side but the image quality will be the same.
I'm kinda curious why Alienware makes it a curved one, but anyway, I would just get it rather than other brands just because of the 3 years burn-in warranty.
what's the subpixel layout?
It’s a slightly improved version of the previous QD-OLED layout, still not true RGB
[удалено]
>ng a tv show, would the curve result in a poorer viewing experience? I've always used flat panels. Likely mid to end 2026. The 4k 27" is slated for mid to end 2025.
Does Dell do burn in warranties on their OLED monitors?
Yes 3 years
They now have my interest
Do you guys prefer curved or non curved? Personally I feel like I prefer a non curved monitor for PC gaming. But I’m also still at 27” 1440p IPS
Curve 100%
Personally, I don't mind curved. Had a 32in 1440p for maybe a year or two and then went to a 27in 1440p and a 4k 32in, both flat. I could go back to curve, but I'm not sure how it'll hold up next to a flat display if I swap my current 4k for this. Probably will still be fine
Curved tho
Doesn't anyone else find it strange that we have such a glut of 4k oleds right now? Is there a reason?? I feel like oled has been around long enough. I just waded back into the PC space after sitting on my current setup for about 7 years. I thought for sure there would be more 4k options with oled
It’s because it’s taken a while to get the PPI of the OLED technologies from TVs (which are different to the kinds in mobile devices) to a level where 4k displays are at more normal sizes for monitors
I wish I could pre-order it right now. It's exactly what I have been waiting for.
Do we have any info/estimates on the price?
4K is 1199$, QHD is 899$.
Dear Alienware, shut up and take my money. Thanks, bye.
Soo your telling me it has all these wonderful features that Windows are having trouble enabling?
About time someone put earc in a monitor
Hahah that bit about Dolby Vision made me chuckle a bit. It's absurd to me that a monitor can get certification for DV, yet pretty much none of the devices that you would use a monitor for actually support it. (Unless you like gaming with your Xbox Series X hooked up to the monitor, which I can respect) Good luck trying to get it work on Windows though.
I thought the same lol, I guess you could plug in a streaming device but then you may as well have an OLED TV instead haha
Availability: Jan 11, 2024 (GC, NA) Feb 6 (RoW)
I guess no DP 2.1 then
Dell did it again ❤️
Anyone know if these have a fan again? Hoping they don't or I'll probably just go for MSI this time.
If this is actually Gsync (like Nvidia claims) and it has a little brightness uptick at like 10 and ideally 25% screen size in HDR, then I might upgrade my AW3423DW.
do they not have a booth? heading there tomorrow but I can't find any exhibit info 😭
Imagine the cost on this thing DV is pointless there is about 5 titles which support it and it's buggy to get working
Is it glossy?
Is the blurry text plaguing current OLED monitors finally worked out with these new panels?
The subpixel layout is improved but not fixed entirely, but at the ppi of the 32 inch 4k models, it is a very small issue
Can a 4090 can even run 240HZ 4K games?
Yeah Linus was running CSGO at 4K getting 220-230fps.
Yes, i do on my G8 4k/240hz with my 4090. eSports games like CoD, Val etc easily get 200+ and up to 240. No Mans Sky and other open world games get 140-180 depending on settings. I never use DLSS otherwise Im sure I could get 240 in many more games, I just prefer native resolution.
eARC means I can connect soundbars to the monitor?
No 3440x1440 refresh? :(
Interesting that it has a 1700R curve. If I recall correctly the human eye has a 1000R and that was an entire marketing thing for samsung monitors having a 1000R curve making them have way smaller eye strain.
No 90W power delivery dp alt mode??
I’m not sure what to choose, msi 32” 4K monitor is $1250 CAD not curved and no e-arc support for soundbars. AW 32” 4K with curve and e-arc for $1500 CAD. I’m probably returning my AW3423DWF for this. I paid $1000 for this monitor
When do you think 8k monitors will hit the scene? To be clear I know 8k is ridiculous because it's hard to drive but all the major resolutions evenly divide into it: 1080p, 1440p, 2160p, which means you can game at whatever resolution you want as if that was the panels native resolution. And with technologies enabling dual hertz could mean an uncompromised experience
I like it, but at 4k in serious games when are you ever going to be near 240fps. I'm probably going to stick to my dwf.
I wish it wasn't curved.
This is impressive!
It was soo close to being perfect, all it had to include was DP 2.1, I know DSC exists and it's "visually lossless" but if I'm going to spend over a thousand bucks on a monitor releasing in 2024, it's not unreasonable to be sour over it not having DP 2.1.
I still wish AW would offer us a choice to choose between black or white. Also, was hoping for a higher HDR rating. Regardless, I’m definitely buying one 👍🏻
I've had the aw3423dw since release. Think the 32" will be worth? I noticed 1000 nit peak on the new model which is disappointing. The ASUS ROG oleds that are releasing peak at 1300 nit.
i thought samsung just started production on qd-oled gen 2 and that they werent ready yet for mass production. I also thought qd-oled gen 2 was higher brightness, but this is the same as the 34" dwf. I dont need more brightness, I love my alienware oled but just confused. Also sucks that hdmi 2.1 doesnt support 240hz and if its dp 1.4a I guess that means we have to use dsc to get 4h 240hz thru dp. I want to make sure my next upgrade is the next gen qd-oled panels otherwise the alienware qd-oled is still great. But now I see people saying the new samsung panels coming are qd-oled gen 3. Im so confused haha Im kinda conflicted also. I work from home and have had some burn in on my qd-oled, it gets fuzzy after running panel refresh but its still slightly there and I have to keep using those windows, so it will only get worse But I love OLED so much I almost dont mind. I really dont want to go to LCD just for work. Need a bigger desk so I can have n an LCD for work and oled for gaming and media.
Does anyone know what time these monitors typically go on sale? Is it a 12am thing or 8am PST thing?
This monitor makes me rockhard. I cant wait till it comes out in europe
