- Thread starter Grim5
- Start date
Soldato
You've got untill 11pm tonight (when the transfer window closes) to make a decision and get it over to my house so the contract can get signed etc. We also have to do an inspection (medical) on the monitor to make sure it's in good nick.

Sound's good mate. But going to want 450 Kuwaiti Diner rather than GBP as it turns out I actually do like the monitor. Not a surprise though as I was the one who recommended it to you many months ago
Not helpful @TNA
Have you checked that DSC works correctly?
The VRR flicker is really ruining this monitor at times for me so much that I am actually considering switching back to the aw34dw now. First time playing TLOU on this panel and even with hitting 70+ fps, it just flickers like mad, think this is the worst case scenario I have seen.
If anyone did not get that, I am able to read between the lines.
What he is saying is, he could not find a buyer for his ultrawide monitor and does not want to stick it on eBay so he is sending the 4K panel back for a full refund while he can
Oh and it did not help that I managed to get the monitor considerably cheaper than what he paid
I might download it and try and mess about and see what it looks like. But it would be better if @mrk checked it out

Hmmm, Dell only give a 2 week window iirc and he's had it a fair bit longer than that...so he is sending the 4K panel back for a full refund while he can
One thing I do love about the PG42, no flickering! Or at least never really noticed any

Nah I could sell the aw34dw (friend said he would buy for £600
) if I wanted but think I am going to keep it now for games where 21.9 works/looks better and where flickering is bothersome like this, it has just made me not want to play TLOU now this, it's incredibly immersion breaking and gives me eye strain, pointless being 4k etc. if you can't actually enjoy playing the game lol..... So come 21.9 39" 5k with gsync, sell both on and get that, have the best of everything then, not having VRR flicker is an absolute must have for my next monitor, I didn't think I would be so bothered about it at the start but when you see it like the above, it's honestly one of the worse things to see, even worse than FSR fizzling, ghosting, temporal stability issues and that is saying something I am well outside the return period for the aw32 now too.
All in all, the vrr experience is just downright **** on this monitor compared to true gsync module of the aw34dw imo but as said, I am incredibly sensitive to things like this and micro stutter etc. Hopefully when/if nvidias official support arrives, it might improve but given rtings have reported vrr flicker on every non gsync module oled monitor, I am not hopeful.....
On a separate note @Nexus. Have you tried setting the monitor to 120hz and trying? Not like 120hz is a slouch in a single player game like that.
Report back if you can please
Nope and I'm not doing that, one of the main reasons I got this monitor and keeping it is for the increased responsiveness etc. with the increased refresh rate (which is noticeable even if not hitting 120+ fps)

Be funny if true.
Nexus frantically calls Dell to find out....
Dell tell him to **** off..
Nexus comes back and says he found a fix for the issue he had in that video and it is not a problem no more

But it would be in like very rare instances. If the vrr flicker was very bad across a big range of games mrk, you and the Internet would have said so by now.
I would rather game at 120hz 4K full stop then go back to the old potato personally
So, you are keeping both monitors?

Does he take a lot of crack???

There is no "fix", it's just this **** adaptive sync tech
M8's rates?
The best rates
Tempted but don't really need to sell it on and whilst the aw32 is good, it has downsides to the aw34dw so may as well just enjoy the best of both depending on what I am playing and until the true one size fits all comes along.But it would be in like very rare instances.

I dislike faff, another reason why I switched to this as I couldn't be bothered switching to DLDSR res in windows so why do I want to switch to a lower refresh rate before playing certain games?
It is pretty bad imho and there are loads of people on reddit etc. saying about it too, mrk and others just won't notice it as much because they are brute forcing past the issue i.e. probably hitting frames where it's not as noticeable but again, everyone has different sensitivity to things like this i.e. some are happy to play with fsr or no TAA at all and not notice jaggies etc.
Yup I will be now I think.
TBF, it's still an incredible monitor and one of the best, if not the best for just gaming. No burn in, best VRR experience you can get on oled and 21.9. Sure could buy a DWF brand new for similar price on deals but given it lacks the gsync module, it's an inferior gaming experience. If I didn't have any monitors right now and was buying a monitor now, I would 100% take a aw34dw for £600 over any other OLED for £700+ and ride that out until a new oled monitor came out with proper gsync or at the very least, an oled monitor that doesn't have VRR flicker.

Tbh I'd take it, friend of mine got £500 for his DW locally.
Also why the **** are you playing TLOU again? Didn't you complete that already? Thought you did not revisit games?
Not exactly a game I would want to replay again any time soon and I actually do replay games as you know
Not played in a long time and nothing else to play atm and also curious to see how it looked on this panel. It's just until something new comes out but alas, the problem is always going to be there in those kind of conditions i.e. anything dark, grey scale like with fps below 100 it seems. I think I have noticed it in most games now but this one is by far the worse yet to the point, I had to quit the game as it lasts for that entire misison so far.....
