World first QD-OLED monitor from Dell and Samsung (34 inch Ultrawide 175hz)
- Thread starter Grim5
- Start date
How do you measure this?
They did - rtings has tested and proven the difference.
Will you able to notice it? Hell no.
yep, it happens randomly
only unplugging helps..with mine it is once every few weeks, so it doesn't bother me
wonder if they could fix it by firmware update in the future

The refusing to power on from standby happened to me on my previous aw34. Back then we could not update our own firmware, so I had to RMA my monitor and they sent a new one which has been awesome. Its either a hardware defect or a bug in older firmware. Update to the newest firmware, I've seen others post online saying the issue is gone after updating firmware
With an Nvidia GPU you can: https://www.dell.com/support/home/e...phf&oscode=wt64a&productcode=aw3423dw-monitor
Looking at getting the Msi MEG 342C qd-oled, as it’s currently on offer.
Looks amazing, are there any downsides? I mostly play fps and space/flight sims.
I was going to go for a larger oled, but I think a 34” curved at the optimal viewing distance will give the best experience.

Depends how cheap, iirc it's the 'worst' QD OLED UW but that may have changed with any recent fw updates. Def do your research first.
Thank you for this, just updated to latest FW so will monitor how it behaves, if still issues then will RMA.
Arguably Samsung G8 with its mini ports and horrendous CS is a worse buy than MSI. That said, I would just buy Alienware, smooth warranty process is super important on these monitors.
Honestly, I wouldnt buy a comparable monitor from any other manufacturer for this very reason - just as I have never bought a GPU from someone other than EVGA when they were still in business.
If you had a monitor with the early MB01 firmware it fixes the issue with the monitor turning off after a pixel refresh which was really annoying.
Can't remember which one I was on but I've not done any FW update until now, bought the monitor last november.
Thanks for the link, I'd written it off as never happening on this screen.

Hopefully Dell take note for next gen QD-OLED, because LG have just announced new OLED monitors tat support variable res and refresh rates, one sporting 480Hz at 1080p etc:

The only thing I'm hoping for is better burn in resistance with future gen panels, No interest in gimmicky things like this TBH.

It opens up the floor to having CRT-like variable res support and refresh rates too which would be appealing for a whole bunch of purposes. This also means the monitors would have to have a high quality scaler built in just like how good CRTs did meaning you could have a higher/lower resolution in games or other apps without worrying about degraded picture quality or text clarity like you do currenlty on flat panel displays of all types.

Have to wait for CES in Jan to find out more info like that
