I don't but my gf does. She can't look at an OLED for more than an hour without getting a bad headache.

I received the US and UK plugs with my AW2725DF.

Yeah - I think it's due to the Dolby Vision issue.
Mine didn’t either.Got on to Dell support and they’re sending me one.

What settings/mode should I be in, just whacked it on RPG for now and set brightness to 100. Creator mode out of the box looked ass. Very dark and washed out. Sports pops the most but RPG looked more normal.

I've got back to standard with 50% brightness for now, I think it looks the best

So managed to get some testing done on both, unfortunately though its bit flawed since I had to run 1440p and couldn't enable HDR, and I'll be honest my memory is like a siv so swapping between would've been useless tbh, I will say though I think there was some recency bias when I first tried the 32" cause looking at them side by side in couple games its hardly any difference, I would maybe say the 32" edges out the 34" but no where near enough to justify swapping if your happy with the 34", I think the extra clarity from 240hz and 4K/PPI is what really wins it but obviously at cost of frames vs 3440@JediFragger I want to know this also
Both were ran at standard with 50% brightness
I think I'll still keep my 32, the extra PPI and fact I never have to worry about games supporting 21:9, and the extra height from 32" vs effectively 27" in 16:9 on 34" UW's really wins out for me

Thanks for the heads up re kettle plug, couldn't find a spare so ordered one for tomorrow off amazon!

Maybe the modes are different between the 27 and 32 but on my 27 the RPG mode looks redicous over saturated and brightness at 75% was way too much for me. But each to their own
My 32" arrived today, for anyone wants to see the size comparison to the aw3423dwf heres a picture.
The clarity is 10x better imo. I'm still working out how to change colour settings etc.

Screen is great, prefer the ultrawide aspect ratio of the AW 34, but 4k 240hz is so much better. Will defo be changing to a ultrawide 4k version when thats a thing
I got a euro plug! Together we can complete the set

The Triforce will be complete

I got a euro and UK plug! UK plug buried at the bottom of the box…
Soldato
My 32" came with a UK plug
Seems small compared to my 34" UW, but the extra clarity means I'll probably keep this over the 34"
Changed HDR in the monitor menu from 'desktop' to 'peak1000'.
Makes no real difference right now because the DV bug means you're limited to 500nits in the calibration app no matter what you do
For best SDR desktop colour settings check your calibration sheet...
It should be SRGB with gamma 2.2 for accuracy or DCI-P3 with gamma 2.6 for gaming and nice OLED visual pop. Be sure to check brightness tho, DCI-P3 was defaulting to 10% brightness, but I've put that to 60% now with contrast at 75% and it's excellent

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

That's a shame, for Nvidia users anyway. AMD's Virtual Super Resolution is working fine here

Could you explain where you change the SDR desktop colour settings please? Is there a way to get it to auto change from HDR to SDR reliably?My 32" came with a UK plug

So far I've only tested with Call of Duty but HDR automatically kicks in when I load the game up as I've decided to stick SDR on the desktop. The Dolby Vision indicator etc comes up as soon as I load into the game and to be fair it looks fantastic.
