Yeah, £847 is the "going rate" with the 23% student/advantage discount that was current at the time.

You guys may recall I asked Dell on best practice and some clarification on how Panel Refresh works on QD-OLED right, well someone from their "technical team" responded to my ticket earlier 
I have no words.

Some ****er is definitely winging his way through that role!

That's exactly what I would call a bot... nobody would suspect a thing...

But we are now here suspecting things!

I would assume Pixel refresh is similar to what happens with LG OLED's. Checking each sub pixel then making small corrections.
The way i surmise that it works is by reverse biasing the sub pixels and checking at what voltage a specific reverse current occurs. Shifts in the reverse bias voltage/current should relate to degradation in each pixel element and/or the drive circuitry. it can then compensate by referencing against a known voltage.

What’s the difference between the panel refresh and pixel refresh options?

The panel refresh is just the more thorough image retention tool that runs automatically after 2000 hours and takes an hour.
The pixel refresh runs every 4 hours and takes 5 minutes.
Applying the same logic to Oled tv's some people swear that running the panel refresh often can cause damage, deteriorate the panel but I run mine daily and have done for year and no ill effects here.
Either way the two functions run automatically with no intervention from anyone. The timers run in the background and are cumulative, so if you use the monitor for two hours, switch off then run it for 3 hours and switch off, the pixel refresh would run.

I sent a simple short message (due to delay) and got a further 5% off from the 847 it already was, so was worth messaging them.

Did you use a particular email address at all? Worth a punt!

Jesus. How do these people even get the job?
What… Lol.
In two and a half years I only run mine once on my OLED TV and that was because I was having an issue with it which turned out to be a dodgy power supply which got changed over. That was well over a year ago.
I am due one, so might run one soon.

Thanks buddy, and good to know!
Im guessing with HDR 1000 - must pop really good. Damn I want this beauty right now
Do you notice any agressive ASBL using that mode?

Just went through support that's on the view order/tracking page, on the right hand side. Used the same email address.

I'm just paranoid as I use it predominantly for pc usage. As I said I've had no ill effects and I've owned the tv a couple of years now.
I'd end up running it all the time with this monitor too lol

1500 hours!
7 minutes!
Unless your figures are referring to OLED by LG. In which case there is some differences involved as Samsung/Dell's number coincide exactly with how long it actually takes on QD-OLED.
It's worth mentioning that Sony/LG state to only run Panel Refresh once a year maximum. This formed part of the basis as to why I asked Dell the question, to explain how QD-OLED Panel Refresh differs to normal OLED, if at all, and if it is different then does that explain why the user manual makes no mention of using Panel Refresh with caution like Sony/LG do.

I actually googled (ironically) to get the exact figures on the monitor but looking back it looks like the page was for the alienware monitor but 55" (so essentially a tv using LG's oled panel and not Samsung's qd-oled), so apologies for the mis-information, although the principals are the same.
