The only thing that still annoys me is that Microsoft still haven't sorted out sub-pixel layouts for Windows.

30.. Jesus, thought looking for a monitor was a good idea
At least LG are moving towards a layout that’s closer to a more standard layout.

Most of the time it just auto prompts you after X amount of use to do Pixel refresh (takes about 3/4 mins) and once a week I do a panel refresh (takes about an hour) Its just the built in oled maintenance on the OSD

Time to start saving £££ and then ditch this TN panel in the bin

Good overview of the two Alienware monitors, definitely makes me lean towards the 27“ 1440p monitor.
So both models feature active cooling but the fan can be switched off within the menu, at the cost of some brightness i guess ? 32" still has some VRR flicker also which is a shame but not a deal breaker for me.

Every time I think I've found the one, I find a possible deal breaking kink. Wanted 1440p but text issues more noticeable. So what about 4K - lovely but driving such a high resolution on my 3090/5800X3D is asking a lot at high refresh rates. A monitor that ticks all the boxes but no KVM. Good times for such a breadth of choice though.
if you want it and can afford the 4k screen for text and clarity go for it. you will have it for multiple GPU upgrades id expect and can dial back the gfx to ballance fps in the short term and then go 5080 or smethign in 12-18 months time

I was put off by the Dell's curve but looking at the review videos it doesn't seem to be too bad (my concern would be for photo and video editing). But then there's the need for a beefier GPU...
That's an option but was hoping to get a few years out of the 3090 (more than reasonable at 1440p), especially with the way pricing and segregation is heading. I use DLSS to scale up from 1440p, can you still use it effectively on a 4K screen?
yea, dlss from 1440p to 4k is the quality setting and works v well on most titles
i came from 3080 and it was fine at 4k most of the time, but traded in that and other bits for a good deal, but it was want vs need. as allways!

4k is no joke son, esp with new titles!!!!
Yeah these look great. I'll be sticking with 1440p though, and keep my 3090 a while longer.

Yeah, it's a huge leap in pixels, and then I'd want all the ray traced goodies too. I'm using a second hand 2080 Super right now, so I'd like a GPU upgrade either way. Maybe the sensible play would be to buy a 4K monitor now (I have a PS5 to play as well) and play older games in the back log until the next gen of GPUs is out, and then go all out on a high end card. First world problems and all that!
Yeah it is a big leap, for sure. I used 1440p for years and was convinced that 4K wouldn't be worth the upgrade, I was very wrong. Now that I've switched up, I could never go back now. That being said, I accept that I am in the fortunate position to own a 4090 though and even with that you can struggle to max frames on some titles (120Hz in my case).
