If the other Sku is open standard it will be g sync compatible then yeah? Though don't think that would be as good as ultimate

In real world usage I doubt anyone would be able to tell the difference.

What ever happened to the MSI QD OLED? Haven't heard anything in a while.

Can anyone test using the Windows 11 black screen screensaver for me? My screen does a bright white flash every time it comes on.

Just tried this on my monitor, no bright flash.
Maybe try a factory reset on the monitor?

I'll try that tonight. I don't remember if it always did this, but I think it did.

Looking at purchasing this monitor over the next few days, does anyone know of any discount codes that I could use?
Thanks so much! -Luke.

Blue light would get you 5% if you know anybody

Ah brilliant, I happen to work for the NHS so this would be helpful, although, I did some searching and found "DAILYMAIL8" gives you 8% off, and it works takes the monitor from £1,099.00 to
£1,011.07. Every little helps

Excellent! Enjoy.

Burn in on 4 month old S95B, owner said he used the screen at HDR max brightness all the time. The square boxes are sticky notes he left on his desktop

Howling · 2 Oct 2022 at 09:22

Not surprising. I wonder if the pixel refresh or whatever has been run?

Looks like he did let the pixel refresh run, but he purposefully disable pixel shift and ABL so static pixels never dimmed as he said they were distracting and they never moved

Howling · 2 Oct 2022 at 09:37

That makes it less surprising than it already was

Was he intentionally trying to burn it btw? I can't imagine running max brightness on my AW34 or my C9 for prolonged periods, it'd literally melt my retinas

no_1_dave · 2 Oct 2022 at 16:31

LOL, turns off burn in protection mechanisms then leaves static images on screen with max brightness. No wonder there's burn in.
Hardly real world usage :cry:

Price looks like $400 or $500 higher than the Alienware, not worth it me thinks

Nice! Looks a bit slimmer and more premium than the AW. Could live without the RGB but that's just a personal preference. Shame it can't be mounted and that seems like quite a limited number of connections, but the USB-C is nice. Not sure HDMI 2.1 and some speakers are enough of an improvement over the AW to really justify much of a price increase though.

TNA · 3 Oct 2022 at 10:12

So no g-sync module and costs more? If you factor the sinking pound in to you are talking not far off 2K. I paid a third of that for my Alienware :cry:

cuke2u · 3 Oct 2022 at 10:22

Do you know the cost of this monitor as I couldn't find it and g-sync will still work, just without the hardware https://www.displayninja.com/g-sync-compatible-vs-native-g-sync/#:~:text=G-SYNC Compatible vs Native G-SYNC – What's The,Compatible relies on Adaptive-Sync.&text=This author has been vetted,to write about this topic.

I don't need gsync anyway..
