Ive still got the LG 45" OLED - im just waiting on a new desk coming thats l shaped so i can have the 4k on one leg and the ultrawide on the other depending on what i fancy but its kinda hard going back to the LG since the 4k one looks so much better.

Just set up my AF2725 and it's very impressive. First OLED screen I've owned and the difference is amazing.
It's the most I have spent on one thing but at least I won't need a new one for a while
Now to replay a few games in HDR

Just emailed Dell regarding strange issue I've started to have with my 3225, last week or so I've noticed when I boot it up sometimes I have to shut it back down and restart it to get a picture on screen, otherwise it just sits with power LED on, screen black and buttons underneath not doing anything, and today it started flickering to black after finally showing a pic
I'm wondering if could be a fault of the new firmware?

Used my AW3225QF for over four hours this afternoon and when I shutdown the system and it went into standby the power button started flashing green.
Looked into it and found out this is the pixel refresher running. I interrupted it and it was showing panel health as yellow.
So then I manually ran the pixel refresher through the monitors OSD which took a few minutes and now my panel health is green again.
Apparently this is a common feature on OLEDs to prevent image retention.

Yeah it prompts to run every 4 hours or runs automatically when you switch it off after 4 hours of use

I can't find any of the new OLED monitors in EU, Asus, Gigabyte, LG, MSI, none are available. I've been looking for weeks. I'm tired.
I might have to get the AW32, although I'm still not sure if the curve is going to be a problem. The only positive about the curve is that it might help with reflections a bit, my room has lots of natural light.
Other than that, I'm not sure...

AW2725DF - has been the best value monitor I've gotten (in terms of launch price and performance) I've gone through a bunch in the last few months and it's the only one left standing I'll only replace it when a 1440p 480hz monitor drops.

I didn’t fancy the curve much either. Thought it was a gimmick that died out with TVs years ago. I have to say now, having owned a curved one I am not sure I’d want to go back to flat.

My Odyssey G7 with it's 1000R curve: "call that a curve? THIS is a curve!"
I got used to it very quickly, 1700R must be pretty mild. With TVs it made no sense, with a monitor I can see and enjoy the benefit. I can understand it's very subjective though.

thought this might be of interest to a prospective buyer

Slightly off-topic but MSI have released some really nice improvements to the latest firmware for their own 240 Hz QD-OLED monitor, including an option to turn off DSC (so you can use NVIDIA's DSR) and fixes for VRR flickering as well as other bug fixes.
I really hope that Dell rolls out a similar firmware for their AW2725DF and AW3225QF monitors. The DSC on/off option was promised for April and never appeared.

thats a bold claim considering the problem affects pretty much all OLED displays
LG seems to do much better when it comes to vrr flicker so it is doable.

Coincidentally, ASUS have just announced a new 27" WOLED monitor that they claim has anti-flicker tech to deal with VRR OLED flicker. It's also glossy which is rare for WOLED. Need to see more of this anti-flicker tech though - it's probably just marketing spiel.

Interesting they've kept at 240hz, reckon they're using the previous gen WOLED panels and have decided to go for a glossy coating?Coincidentally, ASUS have just announced a new 27" WOLED monitor that they claim has anti-flicker tech to deal with VRR OLED flicker.

I thought Asus (along with LG) were bringing out their 480hz 1440p monitors later this year.
