    From the wall, but I don't think it would matter.

    HDR was a little washed out for me after doing the firmware upgrade. Unplugging it from power for a minute fixed it.

    Ooof... Let us know how the RMA goes.

    I have burn in on mine. I'm not even sure what it is from. It might be a screen defect or a hot component behind the screen. I'm stumped. https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/comments/15e4zst/aw3423dw_burnin_noticed_at_3975_hours/

    I think the majority of people's brains will tune out the fringing within a couple weeks. When the DW first came out there were many posts about how the fringing magically got better after a couple weeks of use. I can't see it any more unless I really get my eyes right up to the screen. That...

    Dell Alienware AW3423DW 34″ QD-OLED 175Hz (3440 x 1440)

    I crossed the 1500 hour mark on my monitor (I got the panel refresh pop up). I'm still happy with my purchase but now I have one gripe: I have a retro computing device (a MEGA65) that outputs a 720 x 480 signal over HDMI. The AW has no problem with this, but it stretches it to 16x9. There does...

    Dell Alienware AW3423DWF 34″ QD-OLED 165Hz FreeSync Premium Pro (3440 x 1440)

    My guess is that it has something to do with a static charge that is generated by moving the chair back, getting out of it, and walking away. The charge is going through the floor and into cables that are somehow connected back to the system. My PC was doing this for years until I recently moved...

    Try disabling g-sync. It might be VRR flicker. It often rears its head in loading screens and menus where the framerate is bouncing all over the place.

    PSA for folks looking for this monitor. My Microcenter (MN) has 25+ in stock. They must have finally got over the hump on the production shortages.

    Just based off of that I would advise folks to wait for it unless they absolutely need g-sync ultimate, which should be almost no one.

    Probably not if you don't have any complaints about your black levels. HDR is great on this monitor but HDR as a whole is still hit or miss depending on the game etc. IMHO, black levels are the reason to get this monitor. Horror games and space sims are so much better on this thing than an IPS...

    Maybe it's a store by store thing? I still see "sold out" and not any "not carried."

    I would wait if you can. The AW3423DW is great, but I would wait for some reviews in case the freesync one is a clear winner for some reason.
