I have had 0 RMAs n the QF so far, just saying.

I hear it flickers mate. Quick send it back

Solved the flicker, just don't use Gsync, overrated if you have a higher end GPU anyways

Are you recommending it?

It's just a shame that gsync doesn't work properly due to the vrr flicker. Having to turn it off isn't a great option. Limiting your games to the average FPS (in silent hill 2 that's 70 for me) isn't great use of a 240hz monitor.

Other than that the IQ is great.

But like it is just in a few dark games no? Not like it impacts every game.

Yes just a few games. Most noticeable in Silent Hill 2 but may have seen it in Wukong as well.

Sneaky ********... Thought I wouldn't notice it trying it's luck once again this morning.

I haven't followed the entire thread so not sure if you've tried this, but:

C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ and find the awcc folder. Inside it, there's a AWCCInstallationManager.exe

Take ownership and delete it, hopefully that stops it installing from now on

I’ve just replaced my aw34dwf today with the 32qf and wow what an upgrade in image quality. I wasn’t unhappy with the dwf but after reading this thread for the past few months i realised I need it.

I like the extra height and I do miss the extra width but wow 4k and 240hz is just amazing, granted 240 hz is hard to achieve in a lot of games.

I managed to get it for £755 with a discount code from work too so I’m very happy

It's not about high Hz gaming though, even on desktop the 240Hz is visibly a much nicer experience just moving the mouse around and dragging windows etc, looks and feels snappier than 144-175Hz.

Andy Pandy · Tuesday at 17:55

Yeah I noticed it felt nicer just on desktop. Overall the monitor just feels so much higher quality. Definitely a good upgrade imo. My girlfriend is having my old monitor so she’s happy too

I am considering this swap too. It's not that I am not happy with my aw34dwf, I love it and it's been completely problem free for two years. However, I have never experienced 4K and I am curious. I am worried that I will miss ultrawide though as I have had 34in ultrawides since 2016.
