Yeah that I knew based on pcmonitors.info and tftcentral thoughts but the bit I found interesting was that nvidia gpus do not perform/work as well on freesync monitors as amd gpus do with freesync displays, not seen that touched upon before, I doubt it would be a significantly noticeable difference outside of side by side analytical comparisons but still interesting none the less.
 
How does one do a Firmware update, any rick in doing it?
Or is it a case of "it works, leave it alone."

Also, does anyone use their console on it, xbox etc..how do you find it?

For the DW you just download the firmware from the support page and follow the instructions, It fixes something to do with HDR, Flickering and reduces input latency.

As for console use I wouldn't bother unless you like huge black bars either side of the picture, Sadly consoles don't support 21:9.

Its so annoying, I feel I could be getting more my moneys worth if I could lol.

Blurbusters is quickly becoming one of my favourite forums now! Incredible the level of technical information there about VRR, refresh rate etc. in general:

Freesync stutters when close to 50hz - Blur Busters Forums

forums.blurbusters.com

If you want to fix low-framerate stutters, purchase a new monitor with a VRR maximum Hz about 2.5 times the VRR minimum Hz.

The average LFC stutter penalty is always the halfpoint of MaxHz, or rather 0.5/75sec = 6.7ms average stutter error with a stutter error range of [0..13.3ms]. Remember, 13.3ms stutter error translates into 13.3 pixeljump at 1000 pixels/sec motion, or more than 50 pixeljump at 4000 pixels/sec motion.

Even if your games only run at 75 frames per second, having 240Hz as the maximum Hz will:

(A) Reduce your LFC stutter penalty dramatically to generally undetectable levels
(0.5/240sec = 2ms stutter error for 50fps sample and hold is generally invisible);

(B) Reduce the latency of low frame rates, since your 50fps frames are refreshed in 1/240sec.

Why not try one of those new 240Hz OLEDs? Even mere browser scrolling looks ~4x clearer than 60Hz OLED, and 5-6x clearer than 60Hz LCD, so there's everyday-user ergonomic benefit too. Also, software-based BFI works better at 240Hz, which means you can reduce emulator motion blur by 75% by using 240Hz BFI on your 60fps content.

(B) Try use microsecond accurate frame rate capper such as RTSS to framepace it accurately to stay above LFC threshold. In-software cappers may fluctate where some frames are 1/47sec and other frames 1/53sec. Those below-Hz frames will stutter badly, as an averaging-based framerate capper tries to framepace 50fps so close to the threshold, with some frames going below min Hz threshold. A more accurate capping algorithm could avoid this.

Has anyone who has done the AW3423DW firmware upgrade (kinda impressed they managed to make it updatable tbf) to M0B106 noticed their RGB lighting settings getting reset after each power cycle?

I've always set "All Zones:" to Off but since the update it keeps reverting. I've tried a factory reset but that doesn't seem to have helped any.

Hmm. Seems pot luck what version it ends up on although the firmware updater tool file name does state M0B205. I even re-ran it and it says its up to date with a different version than the first run so it definately updated.

Did a bit more testing and strangely the lighting settings seems to work fine initially (first few seconds after powering on) as the lighting comes on, turns off but then comes back on again. After the issue appears if I go back into the AlienFX Lighting settings everything apart from "Custom" is still switched off so I guess there is a bug where that particular setting reverts to On.
 
I think 2xx is for newer models post hardware revision(I got mine as replacement recently - DoM August 23, it came with MOB204) - if yours was on 1xx then it moves to MOB106 but from what I've read online these 2 are essentially identical.

Makes sense, mine is a RMA replacement from October last year. Might try a few more factory resets but honestly its pretty annoying having to turn it off every day. I see another RMA in my future lol.
 
I only keep the ring light on and only static colour instead of fancy effects, it's the orange colour as that's suitable for night use on the eyes etc just like old cars with orange dashboard lighting which is non distracting at night :cool:
 
I couldn't understand why I only had half my UI and a shrunk main menu in Skyrim, even though modded in game the viewpoint was fine even with a nice wide FOV. Turns out I needed this mod!
