I just googled this and yep you're right. That's so ****** lol.
That's probably going to put me off this monitor as well, I'll wait for a non gsync ultimate version then

Maybe, maybe not. But many are uncomfortable with a mechanical part that will eventually fail or start making a racket. The only saving grace is Dell do offer decent warranty.
One of the reviews I looked at mentioned that the fan is a core component of the Gsync module and is attached to it - likely meaning it's a standard part supplied by Nvidia and will be the same across all Gsync ultimate monitor.
And in that regard, they mention that the fan is always on - if the monitor is on, the fan is on and it's noise level is 34db which is about the same as a 120mm case fan at 1500rpm. My take away from that is yes it will be noticeable; May not notice it when playing audio like a game, music movie but with no audio it will be noticed

Just out of interest, why does it need to be on all the time? Does the module run hot regardless of workload?

Does Dell/Alienware generally translate 1:1 on their product? If it at least no worse than 1:1 that decent price in end. Although it translates to like £958 which allowing for + VAT is £1149 so if it comes in at that I'd probably buy day 1 tbh.
My silly spec up above for £3k doesn't seem so far away now ha.

I have the PG32UQX with the G-Sync ultimate module. The fan is on the back-side, which means most sound it makes you don't hear from in front of the monitor. You'd have to have a REALLY quiet PC to hear the monitor fan. I think it's blown out of proportion. Almost any type of fan in a PC case or liquid cooled radiator is going to be louder than it. And I doubt hardly any very powerful PC's that typically run these high end gaming monitors are completely silent.
2-3 years? LMAO. I have been waiting 7 years for a 1000Nit 4k 32" 120Hz+ HDR screen to arrive. At the current pace of development to market I think you will be looking more like 7-10 years for what you are after.
No but it feels like it. I have been gaming on albeit low(ish) input lag 60hz 4k monitors for over 7 years now.
Thanks for the feedback and this doesn’t sound so bad if the fan is like the one you have on your monitor.
Yeah I'm not too concerned about the fan either tbh, as said, not like you're going to hear it over current pc let alone when gaming etc.
Only concern is something else to fail but this is dell/alienware so their CS is pretty much the best you're going to get.

I mean that's what the guys buying the £800 LG 27GN950 thought, but they are having issues with fans. The difference being LG are **** with aftercare.

You've been waiting for something longer than it has existed? In that HDR with HDMI was April 2015 and with DP1.4 was March 2016. But yeah, things being asked and the tech now though is very much driving to that. In that it is all an increase in values. What you wanted in combined tech in 2015 didn't even exist which is very different to evolution of combined tech.
Is it a short time to get a total, maybe but positivity somewhere in the PC market would be good.

£1300 isn't exactly cheap though for a monitor! On a scaled down perspective, the larger TVs etc are still a few grand so relative to that, it seems priced about right. I guess they are not adding a "new tech markup" like we normally would see here, that and how it's cheaper to produce QD-OLED panels due to the new manufacture process I guess.
