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

This is the same as the fan noise I mentioned, the on/off sounds like breathing thing.

You have to turn your volume way up to hear it, but it's very noticeable and I can hear it from a normal distance away with some other stuff running.

I never heard this on the original one, so there is some sort of strange underlying difference.

Pops in every now and then, repeats the on/off back and forth in bursrs for a time. Seems most likely to come in on desktop use on a lighter image like a mainly white website.

Anyone else had an issue where GSYNC just disappeared from the Nvidia Control panel and stopped working? I tried a bunch of driver reinstalls and restarting PC etc but the only thing that fixed it was to unplug it from the mains, came back after being plugged in.

On the subject of how good this monitor is... I think it is basically the best you can buy right now, the black levels just make everything amazing and the HDR is plenty awesome.

It seems that some people have fan issues and some don't though, maybe a quality control issue or different fan manufacturers? My experience has been that I don't hear it 99% of the time and my office and PC are very quiet.

I had the gsync issue you describe once, could only remedy by unplugging from the mains.

However, I have a recurring issue (1-2 times per week), where gsync will limit my fps (when turned off the issue disappears). Sometimes at 60, sometimes at random fps like 116. The remedy for that is to change windows Hz down, then back to 175. I haven't done any real troubleshooting, so not sure if there is a combination/order to replicate yet.

Happy days.

mrk finds a spec of dust on the unit, promptly asks for a replacement. Why worry about screen burn when you can get a replacement unit every couple of months.. Am I right?

mrk · 16 Sep 2022 at 19:05

It was a big spec of dust though lol

Sadly not as it uses the Nvidia G-Sync module which has not been updated to support HDMI version 2.1

Has anyone tried a PS5 on this monitor, especially with the new 1440p support?

Anyone using rdna 2/amd gpus with this monitor? How does gsync work? Any issues?

You thinking of upgrading to a 6800 XT with more vram mate? :cry:

Actually, what you are thinking is the more you buy the more you save guy is going to be charging silly moneys and hoping his cousin over at AMD will have cards with more sensible pricing. Am I right?

What can I say, I want to run the benchmark of FC 6 a few times :cry:

Just prepping for worst case scenario come tomorrow morning

Having said that, most likely option will be skipping this gen entirely as think both will be lacking big time in one major area

Worst case I get a 4070 I recon. Will be better than a 3080 and with much better RT

UPS have brought the delivery forward to today instead of tomorrow - Out for delivery

Wonder what firmware mine will be on. 102 for sure but maybe 103 given it has been a couple of months since 102 has been out and these are new batches.... Who knows.

Let us know if newer firmware on yours and if it makes any difference. I may go searching for a fault to and get a replacement with newer firmware :cry:

For the record I am kidding and would not do that as I am happy with my unit. No point rocking the boat. I am sure I will find an issue closer to the time of warranty ending though and get a replacement then :cry:

I'm using an RX 6800 and Freesync works flawlessly

New one installed and set back up.

This is revision A03 running firmware 102. August is the build date.

Observations:
The film that comes attached to the front in the box is now softer than both of the Rev A00 I had before. It still creates some marks on the AR coating though but these wiped away easily this time round unlike the first monitor I had which had to be replaced as a result.

Nothing new in the OSD other than the 102 firmware's inclusion of the auto message for pixel/panel refresh setting.

Fan noise so far appears to be the same as Rev A00s, both were on firmware 101 for reference. Will know more with heavier use.

The calibration on this is more accurate than the 2nd one, which in turn was more accurate than the first one. Chart below:

I am in sRGB Creator mode, Gamma 2.4, 53 brightness, 66 contrast. 144Hz 10-bit in Windows.

mrk · 20 Sep 2022 at 21:15

Heads up, noticed a change with Rev A03, the screen now stays in standby mode after Windows puts it to sleep and a pixel refresh runs. Happy days!
