A 3440x1440p 34" and 38" 3440x1600 are same pixel per inch so same sharpness.

Yeah you are right. I think I'm gonna get the QD oled and sell my two side monitors so I have the gn950 and this together so I can switch depending on what I'm doing. Not ideal but best I can do with whats on offer.

I'm interested in this monitor but have Xbox and pc currently to same screen would I be right in assuming that via HDMI 1440p would work on Xbox with black bars @16:9

No, PWM can cause fatiguing headache, problems with vision, pain at certain spots in the head and in serious circumstances a painful headache. It's a serious deal breaker. Human eyes maybe can't see PWM but the brain does. I had two PWM monitors and both have been returned because of the mentioned issues.

Regarding OLED brightness dip when used as a monitor - it's a non-issue as it never dips very far from full brightness. It's the on/off/on that messes you up.

I have hypersensitivity to PWM even at high Hz and had no side effects when using the LG CX for extended periods at less than 1-meter distance.

My phones for example are purchased solely on their lack of PWM, which is annoyingly limited atm.

I have no idea to be honest, I mean, I have my 55" A7 OLED for slightly more than 3 years and never had any issue. The first two times I got th JOLED monitors, BAM, all the issues started to appear withing half hour, literally. I have to be careful with this type of hypersensitivity of mine. Are your phones with LCD or OLED? I read on the net you can eliminate it using the brightness at max. As if I want sun in front of my eyes...

23%?

Student scum!

Here I am with only 20% lol

rix95 · 15 Mar 2022 at 21:16

Any idea how long these codes last once generated? So excited for this monitor.

mrk · 15 Mar 2022 at 21:18

A year iirc

Hudzy · 15 Mar 2022 at 21:18

I don't suppose there's any way for regular folk to get a discount?

mrk · 15 Mar 2022 at 21:23

You'd have to know someone who has access to these discounts and if they have no intention of buying a monitor from Alienware any time soon then just pass you their code!

I'm currently using an iphone SE OG (LCD) and Huawei Redmi 10s OLED with DC dimming option, so no PWM.
I tried the Iphone SE2 but returned it after 5 minutes of use due to PWM. That's my level of discomfort.

I get 23% as well through Dell Advantage, it better be valid

Haggisman · 15 Mar 2022 at 23:56

Dont forget to use quidco as well, 5.25% atm. If they all stack with the advantage discount and amex cashback, this monitor is potentially £700!
