Lastly, there might be some sort of caveats on usage - the monitor might be logging hours it's powered on and this might need to be below a certain value for them to allow a return. All that to say - looks good as a headline, but there'll be detail there to figure out.

I have just ordered one for £724 off Amazon in the UK. I will have it tomorrow and i honestly can't wait, I wasn't sure about the curve or the glossier display but i've wanted this monitor since you released this video and i done more research into it. I could have waited for the DWF but honestly at this price it was too difficult to say no. I currently have an LG gl850-B wich is 1440p 144hz and it's a great monitor, I don't see 4k as a worthwhile improvement due to how much more power it takes to run so i could justify 3440x1440 and have a 3080 ti to run it. I don't game heavily and may have issues with desk space but if i really love this when i get it and the contrast and response time improvements are that much better than i will just buy a vesa mount. Moving from IPS to QD OLED seems like it will be a worthy upgrade.

Its great, I just got it. I would disagree though the 5% 1000 nits window is sufficient. I mean its a flaw I can live with for sure as the general contrast an PQ is amazing -- but I miss super bright scenes a little bit over my old x35. Sure looking at a white screen of 1000nits is hard to look at, but that doesnt happen often. On the x35, the sky in games is a soild 800nits which I think looks awesome. Its all trade offs though and this AW monitor still wins. I feel the pricing on this product is excellent also.

I've read that QD-OLED uses a triangle configuration for its subpixel so red and blue at the bottom and green on top so that you have first row red, blue, red, blue and the next row all green and next again red, blue, red. So at high contrast edges like window edges on your desktop or in-game HUD you have artifacts that look similar to chromatic aberration. Not many sites are talking about that but on the other hand not many sites that tested the monitor do extensive testing that goes beyond just looking at it or doing a calibration test.

You can see it at 12:05 in the video with the white lettering that sits on top of the Windows toolbar. The words "Rain Coming", take a look at the top edge of those white letters, and you will notice a green hue. Now look at the bottom edges of those very same letters, and you notice a purplish hue. So when the white area ends, the green subpixel is running along the upper edge, and its bright enough to notice. When the white area ends at the bottom, the red and blue subpixels, together, look like purpose and it forms a purple edge. So any bright, almost near-white, area that is besides a dark colors, near-black area, you're going to see this. This may actually be more noticeable when using the monitor for web browsing and office computing programs.

After reading comments about the pixel refresher, I don't think we'll see a 16:10 QD-OLED for a while yet. 16:10 is a professional & office ratio that'll likely often display static content. These displays sound like they need to run the pixel refresher after a mere 4hrs of consecutive power on time. For Professional/Office, it needs to be able to do 10hrs.

Stop expecting to pay more goddammit. This is how manufactures sell us overpriced products. Technology is supposed to be affordable because they continuously invest in efficient manufacturing techniques on large scale, to maximize profit and pump out as many units as possible. As more time goes by, oled should become more and more affordable. And there is no wonder oled is cheaper than minileds, simply because oleds are easier to manufacture and involve less complexity than minileds. If you ask me, oled is hugely overpriced than it should really be. Samsung has huge fabs and could make this panel a lot cheaper. But price is dictated by novelty and lack of competitive pricing.

I just ordered the updated version, the AW3423DWF. I’ve been wanting to buy an OLED monitor for a long time and seeing how hyped Linus was the whole time playing on it, and considering that the price was reduced for the newer version, I just had to give this thing a try. I don’t usually just go out and buy something because a reviewer really liked it. I actually already have a sweet LG 34950GKF-B curved ultrawide monitor that I love, which also wasn’t cheap when I got it 3 years ago but the QD-OLED technology seems too good to pass up. Mine should arrive in a few days and with the next-gen Witcher 3 update coming very soon, I can’t wait to dive back in using this new beast of a display.

This old girl has treated me well for the last 3 years but I’ve been wanting an upgrade for a while. I was hoping to grab a 3080 when those came out, like everybody else, but we all know how that went. So I stuck with the 2070 Super for a little while longer than I thought I would. But in reality, for 1440p, it’s still an excellent card. I just wanted something that could run almost anything at max settings and still have very high frame rates. Especially now that I’ve got this insanely beautiful monitor. I knew I’d be switching to an Radeon graphics card so I was pleased about saving some money and going with the Freesync Premium Pro version instead of the G-Sync Ultimate version. I know that Nvidia cards work with Freesync too but it’s definitely optimal to use G-sync with Nvidia and Freesync with AMD.

Bought it for ~$700 on dell outlet with only 90 days warranty, but considering the price and the quality of the display, I can take the risk. For $1200 I would still probably buy it if I have no other choice. I did some reading about this monitor and seems like burn-in is not that big of a issue like with the early oled's. When I mounted this monitor next to my other (decent) IPS panels, you don't want to go back. However, I have to say that for productivity/work with text, this is not the best choice. Fonts are not sharp and high brightness may cause your eyes to hurt. Lowering the brightness is affecting the contrast. I found that switching to eco mode helps a bit.

Hey Linus! In your video you commented how Forza was going for a more muted look. According to HDTVTest, HDR mastering is supposed to be done for a pitch black room. I'd love to see a comparison on this display between day/studio-light (like in this video) and a dark room.

Afterwards the monitor turns off and you have to manually turn it back on. Also the application of the coating/top layer on the screen isn't perfect.

Oled is lot better but in last it depend upon budget n availability

Ready to see ya’ll review of the g8 OLED

I just got this today, and once you get HDR 1000 going, it is insanely good.

Really looking forward to a 4K 16:9 or 16:10 QD-OLED monitor.

16x10 for mass has been dead since 2012 everything that's perfect ratio has been stupid expensive art monitors. Sure wish it wasn't since I still use 1200p monitor

A 30 or 32 inch 16:10 would be great.

@@darinritchie166 Any 16:10 Display with more than 60-75Hz would be great. I would already be happy with a 27 inch 1920x1200, even notebooks have better 16:10 panels now.

that's what im watiting for as well, but id rather spend a similar amount of money on a 55" lg oled c1 tv or even a 65".

As someone who purchased a LG 34GN850-B back in 2020 im good with waiting for the cheaper next gen iterations of this QLED

Finally I got a screen that gives me same feeling as my old Sony 21" flat crt screen. Makes me want to play again.

I wish he filmed this in HDR so we can somewhat experience it! My S22 has a 1700nit HDR, so I could somewhat experience it.

Spent $1k for my Samsung Super Ultra Wide, and that was a 1080p monitor. SO $1300 for this monitor is reasonably priced, I was expecting more like 2-3k. Nice to see something from Alienware not overpriced.

The LG 34gp83a-b can be had for about $750 and is Nano IPS GSync Compatible, high refresh rate, and passable HDR. Sure it is not as good, but at half the price it is excellent.

Just got one for 800$. Such an unbelievable monitor. Upgraded from the aw3418.

Hope to see a 16:9 , 27 or 32 inch 4k version in the near future!

yeppppp . . . 240 Hz minimum for me ? don't know - can't afford it but maybe. in TF panels - it's that way . . . with oled in smartphones - 90 Hz's enough for me I mean - price in half - and it's the cost of 'no cheap' garphics card think i'm left with my omen x27 TN with max. overdrive at may 3 ms max on the pixel in wqhd 27" and overclockable to 270 Hz i think something in 4k ultrawide with up to 240 hz would fit my needings
