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

Regarding brightness, though I'd do a quick video showing what it's like with sunshine coming in through a window and the AR coating doing its thing with my set of brightness/contrast values to get to around 100 nits for normal usage. Keep in mind when watching or playing HDR stuff, the brightness you set in the OSD is discarded anyway as HDR controls that during HDR playback.

Is that 100 nits measured for your creator mode, gamma, contrast settings etc?

Just remember Vincents review claiming 41% gave 100 Nits. But i think that was in Default preset and default contrast.

:p :D

Great video showing that though, exactly my thoughts too and is probably what has impressed me the most aside from the oled usual pros., so much, that I can keep the blind open somewhat now even on a sunny day where as with last monitor, the black out blind had to be closed entirely.

I just had an email from Dell support, they have ordered me a new monitor and it will ship tomorrow! No mention of collecting the old one though so I imagine that will happen at a later date.

Wow, they really are inconsistent!

@whitestar85 has his turn up with the film peeling and completely dead (although he's since temporarily fixed it) and gets told his replacement won't come till August.
Yours is completely usable except for a couple of marks on the screen and they send one out tomorrow?!

Might be worth having the old one ready for collection - the driver might be expecting to do a swap

Honestly having used this in Creator mode with sRGB enabled and gamma 2.4, I would not worry about colour accuracy as to my eyes (and HDTV Test's spectrometer!), this mode is very accurate. I'm in no rush to go calibrate again so even if the i1Display Pro's correction profile takes a year for someone to create and upload, then I don't mind purely because what I am seeing feels accurate to me and all my edited photos that were produced on the IPS which was calibrated, look the same on this, so that is assurance enough for me. My only question now is how much, if at all, does QD-OLED deviate over time which may or may not require calibration from what it comes with at the factory calibration. Only time will tell.

Regarding brightness, though I'd do a quick video showing what it's like with sunshine coming in through a window and the AR coating doing its thing with my set of brightness/contrast values to get to around 100 nits for normal usage.

(And before someone mentions the recently viewed ebay wedding dresses, they were searches for a photo shoot I'm planning :p)

Haha. Yea not a huge deal, at least I should have it in the next day or two hopefully.

It’s good to know no point bothering with calibration :)

So weird. They did not want to help whitestar and but him at the back of the line, yet you get one tomorrow, maybe even before mine arrives :cry:

Maybe they kept mine behind to send to you. Lol

I agree it is very weird, maybe it depends on who picks up the ticket on Dell's end perhaps?

I've emailed Dell back to ask about the delivery of the replacement, what the protocol is here as nothing has been said about the old monitor's collection yet and the work order page for the replacement shows status segments only related to shipping and confirmation of delivery, nothing about collecting the existing one.

It will be a super quick swap either way, just unplug and detach from the VESA bracket. They can take back the box of the new one for all I care as the only thing I'm interested in is the display itself.
 
Just talking about Glossy screens, i never realised they were actually quite a significant benefit overall.

This video compares a matte to glossy version of exactly the same screen. Even though the brightness, colour and contrast measures the same, there is a visible difference between the two.


Another example talking about the same screen, but he does some microscopy of the pixels showing how much cleaner and clearer the image is with a gloss finish.

 
Ah yeah I remember that video from Dave, really shows the benefits of glossy and makes you wonder why makers went matte for so long. I remember only having one glossy IPS panel and that was the Hazro HZ24W about 10 years ago. It was absolutely epic but had a CCFL backlight so naturally after a few years became dim and unusable really.

I just got another automated email from Dell, this one contained info about the collection of the existing one. Green bit is relevant to my interest. So looks like I will have a day or so to test out the new one and make sure it has no marks etc.

Lol just read elsewhere some guy who in same situation as me i.e. first order arrived but full price and second cheap order has arrived... First one flawless, second got scratches over the screen.....

That is exactly the point I made to dell, what happens if my second one has issues? How long will I have to wait? If we're talking about August like the guy above then I'll just buy something else from another brand.
 
I am fearing receiving a replacement with scratches lol. Hopefully it's fine though and a new batch not the first batch that we've all received so far.

I assume they code the replacement with the same service tag then? Otherwise you have the original box which has a different service tag to the actual screen

I just checked the dispatch notes for the new service tag and it matches the service tag of my current monitor, so yeah looks like they replicate the service tags for replacements.
 
First impressions..

There is definitely an element of black smearing. Watching the lg trailers, the black bars and the black on the video should fade into each other but they don't. Colours are good though.

Actually the black smearing is pretty terrible...
