You've can run this screen at 3440x1440 uw, then you have the best of both works - 4k for productivity and media, uw for games (if that's your thing).

Yep. With true blacks it would work well too. Not that I would do it.
 
"we can confirm that it is definitely going to be available for sale in selected markets sometime in Q4 this year" -- so 2022 at the earliest then.
 
Going to just grab the 65" one as a TV and use it with a PS5 myself. Not paying silly Alienware moneys.
 
i game on a 65 inch panny fald and i gotta say big screens are awesome. only thing which will entice me to desk gaming is ultrawide with high refresh rate..
 
Pfftt, $4000 (and it's going to be near that in £) and it doesn't even have HDR? How exactly is this worth that when a £1300 LG TV is VIRTUALLY the same, minus the DP connection, yet has full HDR support?? What the hell are Alienware smoking?
 
They are trying to profit on the gap between now and HDMI 2.1 GPU's releasing next year (presumably). Hence why they took an LG OLED panel, slapped on a DP 1.4 input (no HDR electronics) to get it out the door. The no-HDR electronics can also be there to limit the potential for burn-in for more demanding PC use/less wear and tear.

I don't think anyone was expecting it this soon. But it is a hard sell when you can get a 55" LG C9 in the US for $1500 and you get real HDR, just have to wait for GPU's to catch up.

That's a good point ref the lack of HDR and burn-in, and makes sense. I've read people have mitigated that by reducing brightness, apparently. Given how a PC monitor would be used though, the chances of this would rise significantly... and I doubt they want a load of returns on such an expensive item, so removing HDR is simply to protect themselves.

Hard sell indeed though... I don't know who in their right mind would pay this given what a regular OLED costs.
 
Well to be fair, have you ever sat in front of a large display at 400 nits? It's a bit overwhelming. Playing HDR games on my LG C8 OLED can make me squint!
