seems to perform well but I cant abide the design aesthetic, color choices or chunky chin.
Greedy Samdung as usual though, the Alienware version can be gotten for £813 with a code atm.
The purple look is from the lack of a polarizer if I remember right, depending on the light tone that hits the screen, a hue of purple is seen. It was not included because it reduces the brightness level of the QD-OLEDs compared to normal OLED. So depending on where your screen is located and where your general lighting is, you may never experience the issue at all, whilst in some other cases, it's super obvious.
You likely have little to worry about to be honest.
My room is quite dim with 3/4 blackout curtains closed. The qd oled is looking slightly greyer than the woled. In the evening with my lights on a low setting, it is also slightly greyer. Still better than non oled tech, but definitely a minus that doesn't need floodlit rooms to become noticeable.You likely have little to worry about to be honest.
From the tests they've done and shown in the "reflections" section, from what I can tell looking at the images, comparing the AW3423DW to the AW3423DWF I have in front of me (that they use for those average room shots); using the central arm holder which is the same colour on both (black, or black without any direct light on them), as it's white on the exterior of the DW and it's black on the F so can't compare those (and the DW white is more reflective). It clear that it really is more of a VERY bright office room or outside daylight (at noon) in a pure white almost reflective room (check out that table it's on they're using, it's reflective as a mirror, one of the reasons I dinged the MSI for that RGB bar at the bottom) that is causing the raised blacks on the screen by reflecting it "towards" the screen itself. Basically, it's everything that can be done to reflect light onto a screen, and not just any light, but very strong light and it also has a red hue.
A VERY unrealistic scenario given users of this monitor know very well what needs to be done to prevent issues; given if you just want to game or normal office work, you don't go QD-OLED, you go for the other screens. And in most cases, not even most offices are THAT bright, white and reflective. And in those cases, don't use a white light that is more on the lower end of the K scale.
So in your case, you're unlikely to see it, because unless if you open the blinds AND paint your ENTIRE room white (pure, and using a more reflective kind of paint), our screens (not just the Samsung) is unlikely to exhibit this issue directly.
They've basically shown an edge case scenario in case there's any nutters out there in such a setup and grabs it. Not for normal users.
Oh I didn't say there's no change to the QD OLED screen if there's some light on, I have that too. My F is also noticeably greyer than the LG CX, despite the CX being much larger. Again that's due to the lack of a polarizer on our screens compared to the WOLED.
Ah, that's my bad. I assumed from logical progression of what I know about the QD-OLED "burn in" warranty protection of 3 years would be applied to the F on a warranty replacement (but I didn't factor in that it might just be a 3 year standard warranty and includes it for the QD-OLED burn in issues as standard is all). Else (logically) if it experiences issues/burn in in August lets say a month after your original warranty ends, whilst that might be outside your warranty, but the new monitor failed inside 12 months and their own 3 year burn-in protection. But given the Agent has specifically told you that, then they are going to be more right than I am then. Again, my apologies for informing you of something that was not correct.
