Set these up, got them for £90 from the rainforest. Wow, wasn't expecting much but the speakers are a good size and pack a punch! Anyone wanting to use these they work perfect, got them running Bluetooth to the PC, connected instantly no dropouts that I've noticed. Then running them via the ARC connection to the Dell eARC port. Working perfectly! So anyone wanting to use a PS5 and the AW3225QF I can confirm this works 100% via ARC. Tried USB to USB to PS5 but that didn't work at all. Might help a few people!

Glad it worked out for you

Anyone know how long it takes for Dell to enable discount codes for new products? Have 10% of AW monitors but doesnt work on this at the moment..

I saw on the Dell community site that someone with an AW3225QF monitor was complaining about VRR flickering with G-SYNC enabled despite the display being certified by NVIDIA as G-SYNC Compatible. See here: https://www.dell.com/community/en/c...ker/65d281515d6a0f67868009b5?keyword=aw3225qf

This is the same issue I am experiencing on my AW2725DF which is NOT certified as G-SYNC Compatible.

Makes me question what this certification actually means if NVIDIA can brand monitors that have VRR flickering as G-SYNC Compatible. It did seem strange to me that the 32" monitor is certified but the 27" isn't, unless it is do with it having AMD Freesync Premium branding?

this is a DSC problem. anything that uses DSC seems to have this issue. believe nvidea have acknowledged it.

30 days after release is what was mentioned earlier in this or another thread.

I'm sure the VRR flickering is an inherent problem with OLED. It's too do with gamma I believe, it's visible on all 4 OLED's I own, some games are far worse than others.

Yeah, I'm used to it and it's not something I see often but I have seen it on various OLED monitors and even my LG OLED TV.

Is the bump to 4k very noticeable?

What about any noticeable improvements outside of clarity/res?

Got ARC working fine with my soundbar after i enabled CEC in the Alienware menu and all is well so far.

Loving this monitor so far and looking forward to the next firmware update in march.

I know the HDR DV thing is not working correctly at the moment and we a limited to around 500nits in HDR according to the windows HDR tool but it still looks amazingly bonkers good and bright.

My 4090 is loving it.

I’ve not gotten round to testing it yet but I don’t think I’d trust windows HDR tool as a reliable indication of luminance capability

This is the DV bug. Theres a simple work around until the firmware update. Set HDR1000 in smart HDR setting then turn off monitor and turn on again. Then youll see that the peak is 993 nits in windows.

Yes native is 4k under the PC resolutions list and goes up to 240hz the other resolutions list is for TV timings mainly.

If using Nvidia just use 546.17 driver until the FW update comes out, it gets rid of the DV bug

How is the curve on the 32"? Been holding out for a 32" 4K OLED monitor/TV so this could be the year.

Don't really notice it myself, it's only like 1800/1700R iirc
