As mentioned before, completely depends on the game, most games no, a handful yes. Cyberpunk now? Yes!You don't play with HDR on though remember

Remember basically all games art style was designed around an SDR output, not HDR, so if we are being purists, then SDR is the way games were made to be played technically

Without installation any additional software to make it happen? This is native now, but only in the most recent update on Windows 11 as far as I can tell. Windows 10, I am unable to get the Taskbar to fully hide itself, always a line from the top of the bar remaining visible. (Like how Windows 11 was like until this latest update)
I think he thought you meant the functionality to hide it generally and didn't know about the line issue that has plagued us.
@mrk technically SRGB is the accurate mode but I actually enjoy some colour in my life lol.

Oh btw you still get a zingle pixel line on active taskbar apps with stuff going on, like download progress in a browser, Steam download, or an active window - Had auto hide taskbar set for ages and here's how it looks for me:

That's odd. I just tried downloading and playing a video at the same time, different tabs in same window however, so not multiple windows like you have, and there is nothing remaining of it entirely once the mouse is away from it.

Couldn't care less about about being a purist. I go with what looks best to me and HDR more times than not looks much better to my eyes.

Oh I am using StartAllBack as prefer the superior features and control over the Windows 11 taskbar/start menu, that could be why. I like the bar though as can at a glance see activity. There's a green progress bar on a video I'm watching on the side now too as another example.

Saw this on the DWF product page:
"
Why has the DW model been removed from the store? I have an Nvidia 4090 so I need the DW model for the HDR to look correct. will it be added back soon? or is there an updated model coming out soon?

If you want it they're on the Rainforest site to buy.
I looked back and historically Dell have stopped selling this monitor and then restarted before. Ie Stock issues

Shouldn't do any of this.
It's a monitor, so just use it like you would use any monitor. If you have burn in 2 years down the line you have a 3yr warranty so it doesn't matter.
My taskbar is normal (although it's translucent so I can see through it, but I've always had it like this)
I have icons on my desktop
I have a nice scenery background
No burn in yet and if I do get any I'll claim on the warranty. Simple

Random question for anyone who can hopefully answer,
if I need to play certain games at 16:9 aspect ratio and lets say 2560x1440 would it just have black bars to the side but still run at the monitors native refresh rate on these ultrawide monitors?

Yes, to both questions.
EDIT
Unless the program/game you're running has an fps lock.

Autohide taskbar means you also get some extra screen space back for fitting in more application elements, useful in apps like Photoshop or a vertically pinned browser window. So it's a useful feature. As for background, I have a folder of photos I have taken over the years which rotates every 10 mins so that's all sorted for me.
Not by default because the Nvidia driver sets the scaling to the display, and the DW does not have a standard scaler so it essentially stretches the 2560x1440 image to fill the screen, any scaling to aspect ratio etc has to be done on the GPU. You can fix this by going into NVCP and setting it like this:
So if you do have to use say 2560x1440, or 1920x1080 etc, then you will get pillarboxes as is expected like this:
The DWF version has a built in scaler so this can be controlled via the OSD. There is no performance difference between GPU scaling and display scaling, it's just a trivial difference when using as a PC monitor.

Thank you for the response, just weighing up my monitor choices, I want an ultra wide as long as I can do the above I thinkAutohide taskbar means you also get some extra screen space back for fitting in more application elements, useful in apps like Photoshop or a vertically pinned browser window.

as then I get the best of both worlds.

Yup with OLED and Ultrawide it is the best of both worlds

Yeah that's what i do , as above - well every hour but as I'm getting the monitor today I've changed it to every 10 minutes from reading your post, cheers @mrk
