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

Why are people getting this monitor instead of the 42" LG? Isn't the LG better value?

3440x1440 is easier to run

QD-OLED produces better colours - Due to Significantly better primary colour seperation and brightness compared to WOLED

HW Gsync module included in the price - Ties in to low latency etc.

3 year HW warranty including burn in

QD-OLED should be more resistent to burn in.

And on top of all that, the even higher refresh rate.
 
This has to be one of my favourite scenes in cp 2077, regardless of oled, just the setting, the lighting, the character and the tone set, looks absolutely gorgeous with the hdr, looks a bit low res. as I'm using dlls perf. for the max RT goodness:

Borderlands 3 HDR looks glorious:

Which HDR mode are you finding best so far?

All Arctic PWM PST fans, the AIO fans serve as the intake too, pulling cold air through the rad.

In terms of fan speeds, I've got it set up in the BIOS to step up gradually as the CPU temp reaches 60 degrees. At 80 degrees it is ramped up to around 75% if I recall for all case fans inc the AIO. All other times the fans are running at a flat 24% or so which equates to the above RPMs.
A fellow Gamers Nexus fan I see ;). Is that the 240mm AIO or the 280? You've got a very nice setup there and nice slow and silent fan speeds. Your 3080TI's hotspot is much closer to the core temp than on my 3080 FE 10GB (the delta on mine is 11-12 C) and your memory junction is significantly lower. Have you done any mods?

Enjoy the monitor, I'm glad the replacement is living up to expectations. OLED is really so much better in every way (except for peak brightness vs the best LCDs). I found that when I got my C1, but the Alienware is even better :).
 
I have gone back to 144hz anyway, there is very few games I can get more than 100 fps, let alone locked to 144 with a 3080 at this res. so bit pointless using 175hz mode, maybe if/when a gpu can provide that, I'll go with 175hz then.....

Noticing with the extra clarity from no matte finish little things that are annoying me in games now like dying light 2, the rain drops/steam on my screen :cry:

The monitor does look nice when the room is dark like yours
 
My 5 and 10% grey slides, camera over exposes these big time and picks up on things you can't see with your eyes but leagues ahead of lg oleds, just have a look in the c2 42" thread to see the uniformity and banding issues still somewhat plaguing them (panel refresh thing does help though):

For comparison, my LG e7 and c7 back when I first got them:

This was before the panel refresh ran:

Which wasn't noticeable in most content but certain scenes, when panning, you could easily see it, particularly with sky shots, my e7 was very good after a couple of refreshes though so not really that noticeable:

Think this was the c7:

Can't say I notice the aw issues with my own eyes, uniformity etc. looks perfect. Not ran a panel refresh yet but it would probably clear up any issues that are there, might do one tonight just before bed.


Jesus dude you have some bad luck. All your OLED and now QD-OLED have bad banding. I must have got lucky my c9 is absolutely clean in 5% grey window in a pitch black room and still looks identical when I compare to photos I took back in 2019 when I first got it

Lovely build that!

Been tempted by them AIO artic coolers but always fear they will leak :p

Got the same artic fans too. I think I could probably reduce the idle fan speeds tbh as temps are pretty decent at idle as is, right now cpu 35, gpu is 48 (zero fan mode on)

42" too damned big D:

All of the above, that and much preferring 21.9 format but main reason of all is size, 42" just far too big imo.

I'm finding gsync is quite a bit better for the lower fps range than freesync too, although still rather have fps >60 at all times.

That's not a "dark" room, the exposure has been set on the brightest spot of the screen so that the lighting of the game isn't blown out i.e. to ensure that the colours of the monitor are displayed properly.

This is my usual lighting (which was the same for them photos):

The AW doesn't have banding, the issues are from my phone camera.

All lg oleds have some form of vertical banding, just have a look at this 922 page thread from avsforums:

https://www.avsforum.com/threads/oled-screen-uniformity-discussion-banding-and-vignetting.2896737/

The ones who get banding free are very lucky. Got any pics of yours?

I actually went through 3 LG oleds to get one almost free from banding too.

Which HDR mode are you finding best so far?

Both are good but HDR1000 is better for the highlights and things like sunsets/sky.

Cheers!

I've only undervolted the 3080 Ti and nothing more, still works nicely in games of course.

What gave away the Gamers Nexus hint btw? :D

The AIO is 280mm btw, I could have got the 320 in there but 280 seemed plenty suitable for this build I think.

I've had AIOs since the Corsair H80 came to the market eons ago and never had one leak! In fact I have not read of anyone having one leak leak on these forums either as far as I can remember! I've only ever bought Corsair though and only with this build did that change to Arctic as I didn't feel Corsair were making something that looked like it could compete with the performance and silence of Arctic's AIOs.

I played some more CyberPunk and am wowed by the hDR. Did you guys also up the maximum luminance in the game's HDR settings to 1000 from the default 400 or whatever it is set to? Kinda necessary if you're in Peak 1000 in the OSD :p

The AIO tubes being at the bottom of the case when the AIO is front mounted :cry:.

This Arctic AIOs are fantastic: great value for money, silent and cool fantastically well. They are probably the best you can buy at the moment.
 
Bahahahahahahahaha!

:D

Agreed. Only saw 175fps in older games like Deus Ex Human Revolution which I wanted to try out. That game was unplayable on 4K as the hud was not resizable and everything was super tiny and obviously playing at non native resolution was not ideal. Looks nice ultrawide now too :)

I did notice flicker in one or two games being in 8bit 175hz, was not a huge issue, but as you say what’s the point when 144hz is plenty anyway and on latest games it is hard to hit that. I am coming from 60hz so I am fine with 144hz :p

Been playing more with the monitor and showed it to a mate today who was blown away with it. Eyes already adjusting to the lower res and really just loving it. Already pretty much made up my mind I will be keeping the monitor long term.

Did you adjust the HDR settings in game for Cyberpunk by the way, I only noticed it earlier when briefly showing a mate that there was a section for it to adjust. Might mess about with that later.
 
I mentioned the hDR settings in Cyberpunk, you only need to up the luminance slider to 1000 to match the display's Peak 1000 mode to get the best out of HDR.

It was amusing as I posted a pic of the Alderlake build on some other communities at the time since 12th gen was all fancy and new etc so nice to share experience/pics and stuff. There were always that handful of people who watched Tech Jesus' video and only saw and heard what they wanted to and didn't watch any further and were saying "OMG YOUR AIO PUMP IS GONNA DIE WITH PIPES AT BOTTOM :mad: :mad:".

Even Jays Two Cents got fed up of people misunderstanding GN's video and had to post their own follow-up explain why people were being obtuse.

Good times!
 
By the way I took a pic of the pixel orbit range, kinda cool, never had a monitor or screen with this kind of feature really.

I have seen pixel shifting happening at times while working. It's interesting to notice the screen area dancing around the native display area.

That's one nice thing in radeon settings, it actually shows the full specs.

My bad, missed that post, or maybe like sometimes when I read info it goes in one eye and comes out the other before reaches my brain :p
