What are Gigabyte like to deal with as regards warranties etc these days? I see they've announced burn in cover as part of their three year warranty on QDOLED panels now.

I think Gigabyte have a UK RMA base so shouldnt be an issue

This is probably the right thread, to ramble a little bit while staying on topic.
Just bought the S90C 55" OLED TV (Which I can then change into a S95C) for higher peak brightness than it's shipped with, with a service remote (voiding warranty, potentially) but worth the risk. Got it with a soundbar + cashback for under £900
leaving me with the need for a faster paced more responsive baby monitor for fps games and the like, so I'll likely end up getting a 27" 360hz 1440p monitor now to pair with it, probably the Alienware at this point.
Went round in circles the last couple of days deciding on what to do, I was going to go with both the 4K 240hz and 360hz Alienware monitors earlier in the day, until I saw how much I could get the S90C for, then it was a no brainer. I guess I'd like to know which one is a better experience between the two from anyone that may know. I should probably buy them both and compare then return the one I don't like as much, if I don't get an answer, but I'd probably value higher frame rates... for the games I'd need it for. Got the 55" for content consumption and single player games now.

What would you be using it for primarily?

Bedroom TV
But then get a second for the home office.I know I don't need either, and I'd be more likely to upgrade the bedroom TV any way, as my existing 32" 1440p VA monitor is doing fine.

All the same, I'd be tempted by the Gigabyte as I'm just not sure if I'd like the curve of the Alienware...

They should try their best to price the non DP2.1 monitors at a competitive range, for the DP2.1 they can probably get away with a higher price, and nothing else in this category will have it for a few months, or potentially even longer.
Got my S90C all set up now, modified it in the service menu to be a S95C and it's crazy bright
well worth doing for anyone who is after higher brightness output and doesn't mind risking their warranty
Doesn't leave me much space if any to have another monitor without shifting the PC off the desk as well.
I'll likely wait for the Gigabyte DP 2.1 model which is what I wanted anyway, or see if any random discounts or codes appear for another product for now, price pending of course, or the Alienware will get my money, but I'll wait to see what is confirmed

Alright this looks great. Great that they've got the option to adjust the 1080p 480hz mode to either 24" and 27" (or keep it at 32") but a shame it doesn't map pixel to pixel so ends up a bit blurred, either way this really does seem fantastic.

Competitive with the 540hz TN panels, if you want the best of both worlds this is the one I guess.
New pixel layout seems to be a winner for text clarity.

LG have been releasing first in the US then the rest of the civilised world some months after of late, maybe OcUK will have a pre-order up at some point. These are gonna sell VERY well!

Looks damn pin sharp!
Agreed! The new QD stuff was an improvement but you could still see some fringing - this looks spot on so will definitely be upgrading to one of these new WOLEDs.

This is what I’m waiting for and so glad to see an early review from optimum to confirm it’s as good as I hoped it would be

Are there any 32" 240hz oled monitors that are coming under the £800 mark?
