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

[Neil79]

Got the line down the center of the screen again and it's ONLY in SDR mode... This time I could clearly see a screen divide in Dayz, with left side being darker than the right . As soon as I turned up the Dark Stabilizer it vanished

This is what I saw in DayZ

UPDATE :

Seems it's this, which is common with some OLED screens

Thanks for all the help, guys! It appears that since I original researched the issue there were new reports of it and thanks to Skeeter, it's now sorted

It was the Dark Stabilizer setting. I have changed it to 0, but simply just changing the setting from the original setting of 1 to something else and then back to 1 sorted it too. So I guess like has been mentioned it's probably temporary, but I'm cool with that as it's at least a way to sort it out.

Thanks again guys. I had been looking in to for ages and 1 day after a post here it's sorted lol. Good old OCuk forums!

Don't see the point in the dark stabilizer setting, Just makes things look worse.

Mainly very dark games such as Aliens Isolation where it's too damn dark in SDR mode

Good point, I remember BenQ's competitive monitors having a similar setting so people in competitive games couldn't hide in the dark

It should not be too dark to see anything if the calibration is right! if you don't have a calibration method though then I guess that setting could help.

Using Aliens Isolation + 1979 reshade, so it's as scary as hell! ( Just not calibrated for HDR as the game was never HDR haha )

I dislike reshade personally, never seen a reshade that produces anything that doesn't look too artificial

For Alien Isolation I use the newer AliasIsolation to get rid of those jaggies and pixel crawling and SpecialK to properly run it in HDR, It's soooooooooooooooooooooo nice.

I'm not a great fan of filters/reshade normally but Hogwarts Legacy is vastly improved using filters. Otherwise just looks murky and lacking contrast.

Yeh looks way better, even has the fake HDR option! Cheers

In Nvidia Control Panel is the monitor meant to say "Gsync Compatible" (DWF version)?

Yes as it has no physical G-Sync module.

 

[mrk]

The DW says Gsync Capable. All other VRR displays are Gsync Compatible.

Yep, works fine too for Nvidia owners!

TCB currently have 3.4% cashback on monitors, worth using for those still on the fence.

Quidco are doing 5.25% too

Can anyone recommend a 3m Display Port cable for this which actually works? I had to move my office space around so the original cable I had is no longer long enough. I have a longer cable from an old Samsung CF791 which works OK. But starts playing up when I try and run at 165mhz. It forces the colour format to YCbrCbr4:2:2 which causes some strangeness and banding.

I’ve used a StarTech 4m cable for my DWF for the past 9 months without issue. My PC sits on the opposite side of my room where my sim racing rig is, which is what I use the screen for.

DWF is G-Sync Compatible and the DG has an actual G-Sync module.
