Hdr on pc is just as simple as on console if you are on windows 11. Just calibrate using the app and then toggle hdr on and off using win alt b. Also, there currently is no game that natively supports dolby vision. They all just run hdr10 in a dolby vision container. So they don't use the dynamic metadata. Gamingtech has covered this in the past.

Who needs the USB-C on a gaming monitor ? and Speakers ? EXCUSE ME they always sound terrible

Great review. It's been a great monitor for me and that's coming from using the LG c2 42" and Alienware AW3423DW- 34" uwd. As for the speakers, or lack there of, most gaming monitors don't have speakers. Typically, gamers use headphones or a soundbar. Monitors, if they do have speakers are usually not very good. This is my favorite monitor to date having 4k in that sweetspot. The only caveat for those looking to get this monitor for pc is to make sure you have a GPU that can drive at 4k. I have a 4090 which still doesn't get up to 240 on most AAA. It give gamers room to grow. As for PS5, it's amazing. No screen tearing.

One annoyance, the VESA mounts are WITHIN, or set down in the monitor casing. So for instance if its a mount that can fit multiple VESA layouts it will NOT fit.

I have had this monitor for a week now and is going back. The Dolby Vision bug is killing me. Once you engage HDR in windows it turns on Dolby Vision. Some games change to either true black or hdr 1000 depending on what you set it but most games are sticking to Dolby Vision which they are not native Dolby Vision. It is leading to overblown whites. Games like Elden Ring and Lies of P are the only games I have downloaded that change from Dolby Vision to HDR1000 or true black when it loads the game. But most games like RE4 remake, MW3, Uncharted 4, LOU part 1 all stick with Dolby Vision when they are not native DV hdr.

@1UpNerdcore

3 ай бұрын

Most of my games switch back to normal HDR if they have it as an option on the game menu. The rest that don’t will keep Dolby vision for me. We need a fix for windows to dictate which one we want.

Thanks for the super detailed review. I noticed a few people on reddit as well as rtings mention that the tone mapping is incorrectly done for games which don't support HDR. For those games, windows auto hdr is the only option & this monitor & windows only allow dolby vision which either clips the highlights after around 500 nits, or takes a 500 nit image & converts that to 1000 nits (raising the black levels of everything including the dark areas) Currently this is the only monitor available in India & I was contemplating whether to buy this as Nvidia & Dell are both mentioning that this is an issue with windows (if yes, then not sure if Microsoft would even care to fix this) The other option I have is a mini led display like the neo g7. What's your take on this? PS - I have a macbook pro 16 inch as a point of reference for HDR (which has incredible brightness due to the mini led panel type)

For those games I would just switch to SDR as it’ll still look incredible on an OLED. I’d take the OLED over mini leds and just switch hdr off for those games.

Dolby Vision seems just like a hassle. So basically, if you have HDR enabled in the windows, it automatically enables dolby vision? And from the video at 13:15 it seems like its always going to do this annoying switching on and off every time you tab out and back in? Maybe someone can help me understand, but i dont follow with turning on HDR on the monitor and on windows. Especially for this instance, its just switching to dolby vision, which looks like something i'd rather avoid.

That is correct. If a game has Dolby vision it won’t need to switch and by default if I can doesn’t specify or have HDR it’s run this on top of it from what I’ve found. So it’s forced HDR in non HDR supported games.

It’s mad overkill for console. I have a top of the line PC and I will be lucky to get 240fps at 4k. Only get this if you have ordered a beastly PC. There are much better, cheaper options for console.

Wow so no support for Freesync or Freesync Premium/Pro huh? I hear the 1440p model AW2725DF does support it though.

wher tf did you get that idea. it all works perfectly with gsyn and freesync premium. this is not 2013 that tech is old and there is no need for any gsync or freesync label/certification. almost all monitors just work with both technologies since 2020.

Curious how the active cooling is, is there a big sound difference? An 32" 240hz OLED is the first display I have through a slight curve would be useful, though it seems only Alienware's model has it.

Few years ago you couldn’t get a decent 4k 32” monitor for less than $800 and with inflation and this being a first of its kind it’s kind of a steal being under 2 grand imo. Look at how expensive the G9 was and that has nothing on these

Re: Waiting for an update to cleartype. I'm waiting for MS to completely disable cleartype and relegate it to the trash can of history. Even on best-case-scenario clean vertical stripe RGB subpixels, it always made a nice sharp fixed pixel LCD look like a misconverged CRT. And compounded with that, it doesn't work at all on triangular pixels like this monitor or RWBG (yes, G is not in the middle its at the edge) WOLED monitors, not to mention horizontal subpixels or any other case it can't account for. Subpixel rendering was a bad experiment that needs to be default-off and enabled only with a "you know this makes your monitor look bad, right" warning to turn it on, rather than the current system where I have to disable it via registry hacks because the cleartype tuner's "turn clear type off" option only covers about 40% of use cases, and even disabling it from the registry doesn't disable it in task manager and other system menus.

I really hope windows can fix their HDR implementation at some point. It's a mess, if you switch your monitor to HDR for a game, now your desktop looks like crap. It's just bizarre that they can't figure it out, with OLED though, the blacks are so dark you almost don't even need HDR

32” 4K 240Hz is nice but a 4090 won’t hit anywhere near 240FPS in most games so more of a future proofing purchase?

There no downside to the panel supporting a higher refresh rate. Some games can run that fast, most won't and that'll be the same story when the 5090 comes along with the new games. But nothing lost.

Depends on the game and the quality settings you want to use. This provides more headroom on those games which you’re okay with lowering settings on or less graphically demanding games. Doom eternal will hit 240, retro style games, Fortnite with medium settings, etc.
