A few days back, my gf asked if I wanted anything and I jokingly asked her to gift me samsung odessey g9 oled version as it was the most expensive monitor available on Amazon at that moment(we always jokingly mention expensive things, whenever we don't want anything). After a couple of days a parcel gets delivered and it was this beast of a monitor... She's too good for me :)

Hopefully no uniformity and other issues. Hopefully its the screen lottery pick!!
Its waiting to be opened.

But there is another huge box waiting outside. The herman miller embody. I need to figure out how to carry that box inside too.
But all of it after works done as I am currently WFH.
🤞 🤞

I'm scared

Just got the Alienware AW3426DW 34” OLED as I’m thinking of switch to Ultrawide from an Asus 4K OLED monitor cus I wanted to go with Ultrawide. But compared to the Asus the Alienware doesn’t even feel like an OLED, the colors look super washed out and brightness seems horrible even though I think it can get brighter than my ASUS. Anyone else have the same Alienware monitor or any suggestions, am I missing something?

So when I got my Dell AW3926QW and a Ugreen DP2.1 cable it worked really well no signal issues then I suspect an Nvidia driver update (probably the 617.xx train) caused some issues and suddenly it seemed like the cable was no longer good. Even with DSC on, 165hz would give issues, dropped to 120hz to stabilize. This wasn't just in games, it would happen just with Windows apps on the desktop.

The release notes for 621.01 has fixed for black screens of high bandwidth monitors - they were quoting 360hz QHD but I suspected it might fix the issues for me too, so far testing today its back to like when I first got the monitor. I'd say Nvidia definitely fixed something with DP and high bandwidth monitors. Its not a cable going bad on you.

I love my 38GN950-B, but I really want a 240Hz OLED for that perfect motion clarity.

Is there any news or information about a potential release in the future? I came close to buying a 32” 4K 240Hz OLED, but honestly, I just can’t see myself ever going back to a 16:9 monitor.

I tried using my secondary monitor as my main display for about 10 minutes (it’s my old 32” 1440p monitor, which I keep in portrait mode), and I just couldn’t do it. It felt so weird, like being trapped in a tiny box. It completely ruined the immersion.

Ultrawide has ruined my brain. 😭

200Hz version of existing model, MAG 401QR(155Hz)

I'm wanting to update from my VA 34" 1440p samsung to a 5k2k and Dell's option is pretty interesting on paper. How has your experience been and would you recommend it to others?

I'm not understanding how to use the shortcuts on my new AW3926QW. I've assigned Shortcut Key 1 to HDMI 1 input, and Shortcut Key 2 to the USB-C input. Is there a way to access these shortcuts from the keyboard, or do I need to go through the monitor's OSD?

I just bought a used LG 34WN80C-B from facebook market place, is it a fair price? I like it though

My new job is allowing me to get a 49” monitor for my GIS work and I was looking at Samsung Odyssey monitors. I was wondering if getting a OLED monitor that is 1800R worth it lore should I just get a non OLED monitor that is 1000R so it won’t burn in. Just want to know if the difference for those I big like with the curve and if OLED for work will burn in quick?

I received my Dell UltraSharp U4025QW from Amazon yesterday. Great monitor by I'm concerned by possible defects in the panel. The seller was Woot.

The box appeared to be factory-sealed when I opened it. The monitor was wrapped in protective material, but there was no protective peel-off film on the screen itself. I’m not sure whether Dell does this. I know Samsung does.

After unboxing it, I noticed streaks on the screen, including a fairly noticeable smudge or blemish near the middle. There were also several tiny spots across the screen that looked like dried cleaning spray, almost as if someone had tried to clean it before packaging it.

I can’t say for certain whether the monitor was previously used, and I don’t recall seeing a screen like this when unboxing a new monitor. I cleaned the screen with monitor-safe screen cleaner, which removed the spotted residue, but the streak or blemish in the middle remains.

Interestingly, I can’t see any of these imperfections when the monitor is turned on and displaying an image. I also ran a dead-pixel test and didn’t find any dead pixels. The display itself looks fine during normal use.

For those who own this monitor or have experience with Dell LCD panels:

• Is it normal for a new monitor to have visible streaks or smudges on the screen when it’s turned off?
• If the blemish isn’t visible when the display is on, would you keep the monitor or return it while I’m still within the return window?

Part of my dilemma is that I know if I ever decide to sell this monitor (I upgrade my electronics frequently, I would have to disclose the screen imperfection. The monitor this one is replacing has a similar issue that never really bothered me. Now, though, I’m wondering whether that monitor had the same imperfection when I originally purchased it and I simply never noticed it, or whether it developed over time.

I’d appreciate any feedback. I’m trying to decide whether this is normal and worth living with or whether I should exchange it while I still can.

On October 7, I ordered a Dell U5226KW that was supposed to be delivered on 10/15. It was $2,619.00 through Aventis Systems on Amazon. It was supposed to be delivered by UPS but now they have no idea where the monitor is. I would be willing to wait for it to deliver but they couldn't even tell me where it is. I think I'm going to cancel the order and place another one to get it next week. Aventis is no longer selling this monitor on Amazon.

The Dell Store on amazon is selling it for $2899 or $2999 through their website. I was already torn between the U4025QW and the U5226KW for an extra $1000. I know that I will use the extra surface of the 52" and that's why I decided to go that route. By once - Cry once.

Now it is a $1200 difference. I could almost by two 40" for the price of the 52". That would be a ridiculous set up that wouldn't be practical.

Here is the other option. On the Dell website, the version without a stand it $2,199. I would have to buy an arm for it. I wonder if I would regret not having a stand.

What do you think?

40" with a second monitor of some size.

52" with the Dell stand

52" with an aftermarket stand and save $200-$300

I am looking for either a 30" or a 32" curved monitor that's 240hz at 1440p. When I look on Amazon KTC is all over the results and the pricing looks great and everything fits what I'm looking for, BUT, I am having trouble trusting a brand I don't recognize. I used to not be this way, but with gaming products I did waste a lot of money trying out unfamiliar brands just for the quality to not be good and then end up going with the name brand later on things and that's what I'm trying to avoid, however, KTC seems to be "too good to be true" right now.

Does anyone have any experience with these monitors and if so how would you compare to a name brand like LG/Samsung/Asus?

Looking to pair either or with the AW3926QW as a alternative experience for gaming. I have a 5080, the monitor will sit on the 63" side of desk & the depth I have is 21.7" for extra information.

Has anyone upgraded from 49 to 57 and felt a substantial increase in immersion while gaming & does the high resolution + ppi difference make up the difference in OLED vs Mini-LED here?

I appreciate any comments being left!

It looks like the successor to the Dell 40-inch u4025qw is coming out next year. Got certified in South Korea.

What we hoping this model has?

I’m planning to buy a new ultrawide OLED monitor. My budget is 1k euros.

I’ll be using it 50 per cent for gaming and 50 per cent for work (text documents).

Are there any reasons not to buy the Gigabyte MO34WQC36? It seems to be a great product for the price (850€ in my country).

Thanks so much for your help!

Hey!

I'm looking for a 34" ultrawide under €700 (Europe), mainly for gaming.

I'm torn between OLED (text clarity and burn-in) and VA (ghosting and black smearing).

The MSI MPG 341CQPX is currently €650, which seems like a pretty good deal.

Would you go for it, recommend something else, or wait for Black Friday?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing noticeable ghosting/trailing around moving text and fine details in MSFS 2024, especially when panning the camera. I’ve also noticed occasional white/overexposed flickering when the FPS fluctuates.

My setup:
Monitor: LG UltraGear 39GX950B, 39” 5K2K (5120×2160), currently at 120 Hz
GPU: MSI RTX 5090 Suprim SOC
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
RAM: 64 GB DDR5-6000
Connection: DisplayPort

MSFS 2024 settings:
TAA
NVIDIA Frame Generation 4×
Fixed 120FPS
Main-thread frame 28-33 ms

My previous BenQ EX3501R (3440×1440, 100 Hz FreeSync) didn’t show anything comparable.
Could this be panel ghosting/overdrive, G-Sync/VRR, or an artifact from Frame Generation? Has anyone with this monitor or a similar setup experienced something similar?
I’ve attached a photo, although I know a photo can’t fully reproduce what I see in motion.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting would be appreciated!

Regards!

I see a bunch of people posting about getting their new AW3926QW display and it seems most of them rushed out to get various full screen color swaths to see if their display had an issue?

I got mine and have not yet run any of these tests? Why you may ask? I am to busying enjoying the amazing way my games look on the display.

I get when you are having an issue, I mean something you notice when using the monitor regularly. But guys rushing out to test a brand new display as the first or close to first use just seems a bit paranoid.
