It honestly ever so slightly puts me off getting another Dell / AW monitor.
I'm watching it.
Alienware announces the AW2725DF and AW3225QF (worlds first 4k 240hz and worlds first 1440p 360hz QD-OLED monitors - launches January 2024)

I've managed to go since Feb without it sneaking on. I'm normally good with stuff also, driver updates disable from Windows updates via registry and group policies etc. Never seen on pop up in optional updates. I'm thinking 24h2 had something to do with it. Will check settings when I get home tonight

Don't know if its down to my build or the games that i play but I didn't notice any flicker on mine screen.

You also might not have Freesync/Gsync enabled, then there's no flicker to notice at all!
I just did a clean install of Windows 11 following my move to a new AM5 motherboard.. without the USB cable hooked up.. just the DisplayPort cable. Windows update still installs the Alienware command centre. I didn't install any other Dell software at all. Very annoying.

Just wondering guys have any of you gone back to 27" 1440p from 32" 4K?
I did, but only because I went from IPS to OLED. Now back to 4K again as it should be
27" 1440p is fine as long as you sit back far. Like say 4ft or more.

Christ, over a metre away?! I sit about 60cm away from my 27" 1440p monitor.

Yeah I like 4k for how great it looks - but I also play a lot of high paced fps games and so I do feel a benefit of playing at 240+fps. Not sure I've got the hardware to be playing games at 4k 240fps though right now. Looking forward to seeing what 27" 4k OLEDs are revealed at CES.Then you would benefit from going 4K sir
Am 70cm away from my 35" 3440 x 1440 UW

Yeah, I don't play those sorts of games hardly ever. So the choice is obvious for me.
I now and then play a bit of counter strike 2
you can do this.
then when windows update it resets the setting... someone go punch the microsoft ceo in the face or something.
never hated something more...
windows won;t install that crap if you don't use the data cable between the monitor and your pc, but it probably disables anu usb hub the monitor has :/

It still tries to install it even if you have just the DisplayPort cable in, have tried this myself before and it still comes back with a vengeance.

Yes I've had that disabled from early days.

You will never win guys. It's absolutely not overridable or something you can disable.
I just installed it and keep it up to date. Haven't noticed any problems.
