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

[mrk]

With eco on, I've noticed when the monitor comes back on from standby, colours are very over saturated to start with, after time, the colour returns to normal, didn't have this with eco off.

The colours thing is standard for OLED from my experience, the pixels need a bit of warm up time which is to be expected as they're organic, much like how an audio amp is more efficient and in optimum order when it's been on for 20-30 minutes so the circuitry has less resistance flowing through it from the cold start. I think the eco mode correlation may be placebo though unless there is a weird sort of link and the screen keeps the pixels "hot" with eco off - It might explain why the fans are on all the time and the timer keeps on counting perhaps as a result?

I wouldn't like to say, I feel it's really subjective. I'm using a 24" for work and even that seems fine. From past experience I always felt 27" was the sweet spot, but if I had an extra 20cm depth I'd imagine that would scale to 30-32. Sounds silly but one thing I did before was cut cardboard to the size of various screen and see how it would (sort of) look.

Yes good idea, at least according to some calculators I can get away with almost anything, bigger is probably better at that distance.

Definitely something to do with eco, as you said, perhaps with eco on, the whole thing "shuts down" completely and then has to "warm" back up to get accurate again? Only noticed this as soon as I put eco back on as kept thinking that settings had been reset or something because of eco being on.

Not a big deal breaker and can live with it.

Anyone experience this bug and is there a way to fix it? I'm currently on HDR 400 true black, but when I change it to HDR peak 1000 the screen goes very dim. If I turn on HDR while in Peak 1000 mode, the screen gets even dimmer. So only HDR 400 is working.

I've got a DELL U3419W, what an absolutely epic monitor. Two of those purchased in March 2020 for near on £800 each, but.... one thing I wish I could have, and it seems hard to find, is a monitor that has two USB-C PD connections. I want the monitor to fully become the KVM so I can have two laptops connected via USB-C, both charging from the monitor (ie, just two cables + power from wall to monitor). Does such a thing exist?

What desk monitor arm are people using? Preferably one that doesn't break the bank and is easy to assemble, move about.

 

[mrk]

Any arm that can hold a 34" screen would be fine, but the best one seems to be the new Dell one but it's not cheap cheap, although well worth it for its wealth of features.

I have the Ergotron MX and it is perfect for that although at least 10 years old now.

This one?

I said without breaking the bank.....

Had this for my old 29" one but don't think it will take the weight of this monitor especially if extended further out:

You never said what you considered breaking the bank

True

Ideally no more than £100 at most. Cheaper the better. I don't need much manoeuvrability, would only be distance back and forth and even then, don't need that much extension.

This one will take up to 12KG so should be just about right: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08CXG5...&pd_rd_r=87df2986-81e3-4df4-8705-e5ddb81e3301

20% off too if you tick the box!

That is good, anything from Ergotron is hefty quality.

Looks good but some of the comments saying the tilt doesn't support monitors over 6kg apparently

Not bad that, not overly keen on the aesthetics though.

Will have a look and see how much second hand ergotron arms are.

I've heard one or two other people say this as well that hdr400 is brighter but doesn't match most reviewers data.

I think your panel is either faulty or the firmware is buggy

 

[mrk]

HDR400 is brighter when there's more white area on screen in HDR content. I can't remember the % of screen size before it gets noticeable but the 1000 nits is a very small area but when that area gets larger, the 1000nits drops. Makes sense. HDR400 is more natural and stays more accurate for a larger area. I haven't used 1000 for ages now after I saw that.

So hdr1000 abl is more aggressive but it's peak brightness should be higher

What is probably happening is an illusion to the human eye - show a human something that's 1000 nits for 10 seconds, then dim it to 400 nits for 10 seconds, then turn the screen off for 10 seconds and turn it back on at 300 nits and ask them if 300 is darker or brighter than 400 - everyone wil say 300nits was brighter because it's an illusion of how humans perceive light

is there still a two month wait time for these monitors?

Looks like mid September when you visit their site.

Are we likely to get a larger version in the next year or two?
