Hello,

I am on the fence in upgrading from my samsung 34sj550 to the Alienware monitor. Got the gpu to drive it so no issue there.

Is it a good monitor? I read a lot of people praising it, but a lot of people say its bad (hdr, blacks are basicaly horrible grey and issues with glow etc)

Was holding up for the LG C1 or maybe the C2 but possibly I will wait until the BF of 2022 for one as a second gaming tv/monitor. I still need a monitor for work anyway as I wfh so oled non stop in desktop might not be good for the tv burn in wise.

It seems that the 38" uw monitor product range hasn't seen an upgrade in a while was hoping we would have gotten something new by now.

Can find it around 935ish with the current price Dell has.
 
Thats what put me off last year when i read that its gsync Ultimate and was the first monitor to not be 1000nits and essentially not following the old Gsync Ultimate spec (which essentially meant FALD backlight)
 
Dang it, I havent seen yet how hdr looks. Got an expensive panasonic tv back in 2016 that literally has 4 zones and its horrendous was hoping for something better i guess.
Got Shadow of the tomb raider, Cyberpunk, Metro Exodus and Wow to play but i play mostly wow so hdr wont matter i guess.
