I do the same, set it in windows to turn the display off after 3 minutes of activity.

Does anyone know why the AW2725DF monitor doesn't support NVIDIA's DSR? On my previous 27" 165 Hz 1440p ASUS PG279Q using DisplayPort 1.2 I could enable DSR in the NVIDIA control panel and downsample games from up to 5K (5120x2880) but the DSR options are completely missing from the NVIDIA control panel with this monitor, even if I lower the refresh rate to 60 Hz.
Does the AW3225QF support DSR?

The AW2725DF doesn't support it as you've seen, i've found the same. It will be related to the use of DSC as explained here:
NVIDIA DSR and DLDSR do Work with DSC Monitors...Sometimes - TFTCentral

yes, I don't think you'd ever see any visual difference between the two

Now updated to just "end of day" Sigh

So I don't think mine has come with a UK plug....
27" 1440p 480Hz will be out later this year, so there is unfortunately a wait, but with the a standard sub-pixel layout, higher brightness, and it doesn't suffer from raised blacks (not really an issue for most), it should be a winner.
Only suggested it since you already have an OLED, but if you have an itchy trigger finger, it's not like the QD-OLEDs are bad - text will definitely be better.
my 27" AW2725DF didn't either. very odd

Strange, must be rushing these out ASAP.
First impressions are good, doesn't look like the bubble wrap has left many, if any, marks.
The sharpness is an immediate upgrade. It is a bit of a shock going from ultra wide back to 16:9, but over the next few days I'm expecting I'll adjust to that ok.

Didn't check the power lead with mine, just used the kettle lead already in place from my previous monitor. I'll check which flavour came in the box when I get home
You coming from the AW 34 QD-OLED?

Yep
. Need to try out some rpg games and see how I find it compared to the 34", still got that in my other rig. Just done the firmware upgrade as it's not shipped with M2B102. Need to move my rtx 3080 from my other pc into this one for some proper gaming, don't think a 2060 is going to cut it

Nice! Let us know how you find it compared to the aw 34 after you have tested it a fair bit
Got things set up now, a lot bigger than I remember a 32inch monitor being...but it's absolutely fine on the desk.
The pictures don't do it justice but the screen is stunning, the black levels are something else (used the LG HDR video) but I've yet to try any games etc.
For those curious the 27inch Hue Play Gradient works perfectly with this size of monitor given it essentially is big enough to attach to the plastic back. Will provide some more impressions later on.

Just run the Windows HDR calibration and I can hit a peak of 500 nits at the moment. Is that a known bug or have I missed something?

Certainly will do, I'll be flicking between both pretty regularly. Could really do with a new gpu for this bad boy but the ones that would do it justice are over £1k.Nice! Let us know how you find it compared to the aw 34 after you have tested it a fair bit

Has anyone suffered with any headaches related to OLED monitors at all?
It's the first time today that I've actually struggled with it a little and it's something I've never had before. I couldn't work out if it was due to a particularly taxing morning of work but swapping to another monitor and they seemed to disappear quite quickly...
