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

TIA, Tea Infused Anarchist???
:eek:

As for OSD settings, I use 32 brightness, 66 contrast, in Creator mode, sRGB setting, Gamma is 2.4. That's the baseline, you can adjust the brightness to whatever you like best as it makes no difference to colour accuracy or black grading etc.

The in Windows make sure you're only in HDR mode when playing HDR games etc, and that you have used the Windows HDR Calibration Tool to create a HDR specific profile that's used when HDR mode is enabled. In normal SDR mode there should be no colour profile as it's not necessary.

If this is the first time using a monitor like this, then the above changes will be weird at first as everything will feel like it's dim or not vivid, it's actually exactly as it should be for colour accuracy and the natural vividness of OLED where it needs to be. You can of course change the mode to standard from creator, but the colours will no longer align with accuracy then.

Mine is also set to 10-bit output in Windows so max refresh is 144Hz, I do a lot of editing work and 144Hz and native (regardless of whether it is needed on an Nvidia card or not) is just extra peace of mind. plus I notice more VRR flicker at 175Hz which I do not like. Also HDR content is 10-bit anyway so kind of makes sense to have native 10-bit enabled I guess.

Sounds like you've installed the Dell driver or software which installs the profile, yeah remove the profile and the software is not needed either as it auto updates randomly and can put the profile back!

Dell's next day delivery isn't great. When I ordered it yesterday, it said next day delivery if ordered before 6pm.

I've just had an email saying it's been delayed a week...

Mine took forever to update, ordered late on Tuesday night and has just arrived with me at work.

They use UPS for delivery, who have been shocking lately in my area. Praying and hoping it isn't smashed to bits inside the box when I open it later at home :cry:

That's the problem I had and why I ended up hitting buy on the AW3423DWF. I've been waiting for better to come along but you're talking nearly twice the price for not a great deal of difference.

Yeah i looked up the specs just now and im underwhelmed... It makes the Alienware monitor look like absolute steal especially when its on offer which seems to be quite regularly now. Next one will be Black Friday no doubt.
