World first QD-OLED monitor from Dell and Samsung (34 inch Ultrawide 175hz)

z10m · 30 Mar 2022 at 16:50

Was going to get it too but by the time I realized they were already available for purchase delivery was for August.
Went with 42" C2 as to be honest I'm fed up with how some stuff just doesn't work well with ultrawide screen.
Also didn't want to play PS5 at 1080p on it

Otherwise great screen it seems.

Yeah I mean even if you do notice some slight loss coming from your 4k 27", everything else is going to blow you away and make up for that.

Yep, that’s what I am thinking.

I will also give it a few weeks and hope I get used to the lower resolution. One of the things I will be doing is putting the monitor back a good 10-15cm further way than I have my 4K one now which should help.

Dayuuuum, just played doom eternal on this and by far the best HDR experience so far and also 175HZ/fps

Motion is so clean.

Everything about it just looks better than the e7.

Clarity/sharpness really is great and not noticing any loss in detail at all compared to my 4k oled @TNA

EDIT:

@mrk

Tested that HDr auto switch too, seems to work in doom eternal, windows settings hdr is off but in game with hdr set, it auto enables and once you quit the game it goes back to SDR. Means no need to faff with win + alt + b key to enable/disable hdr now, although probably game dependant.

So not trash and the worst monitor ever then? :cry:

Doom Eternal is one of the few games I have that doesn't require Windows HDR to be on first. Most seem to need it set first which I find a bit tiresome

It still will have to go back as all the coatings peeled the right side and the fault is loose power connect socket but I've got it on!!

Looks amazing Vs my g7 Samsung how do I upload pictures via my phone ??

If it's usable you could cancel the cancellation and wait for new stock to come in to RMA, even if it's a few months?

whitestar85 · 30 Mar 2022 at 18:03

I've peeled the hanging off bit off it seems usable possible electric shock but il chance it lol

It's only showing 100hz via HDMI is that correct my GPU is 3080 thought would be hmdi 2.1

***My mistake it's not hdmi 2 monitor **** however I assumed 1440p over hdmi would be faster than 100

I shall try display port

HungryHippos · 30 Mar 2022 at 18:21

display port 100% recommended HDMI bandwidth caps out.

What did you do to get it working?

whitestar85 · 30 Mar 2022 at 18:44

I read a post on another forum about crap power/do l leads with dell screen so my original.plan was to try another lead rather than hang monitor on wall like it was I put it on sofa and plugged my Xbox in and noticed crackling on the power lead.

So just give it a few wiggles and it came on and went off.
So I gave it another wiggle as u do and it stayed on

As soon as you touch it tho it goes off so I'd have to wall mount then wiggle then leave well alone

Viewing angles with no ips glow, va shift, colour shift etc etc. What a dream :cool:

Akermay · 30 Mar 2022 at 20:04

Not sure when it ticked over, but as of 8pm today (30th March), my display is now Shipped. Delivery says 'Arriving Soon'.

I haven't received any email or tracking to notify me of this. Hope to soon. For reference, was estimated to ship on the 3rd April and moved to In Production just earlier today.

I wouldn't get your hopes up I don't think they've actually shipped
