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

    Sorry, I never replied to this. Yes, the recommended way to calibrate 2 monitors is to match white visually, and then use that white point "as measured" as the basis of the calibration. In this case, calibrating your LCD with your i1 Pro is more reliable due to the wider spectral power...

    Thanks! Looks like there were no changes to the exposed VCP codes. I'll update my monitor tonight.

    Can anyone who has done the firmware update show me a screenshot from that control my monitor app? https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/control_my_monitor.html I just want to make sure that the options I use in there are still there after the firmware update. Thanks!

    I wouldn't just calibrate white balance on this display to the meter, even with a spectral correction. There's a pretty big metameric mismatch between this QD-OLED and say a typical LCD. If I calibrate my QD-OLED and either of my LCD monitors white balance both to D65 with my spectro, they...

    My picture is right after a full panel refresh. Both the refresh processes seem to do nothing. I mean they run, but they don’t seem to visibly improve the image. I’ve run the pixel refresh every day like you are supposed to and the panel refresh every 1500 hours also like you are supposed to...

    I've got quite a lot of burn-in on mine by now. Not looking forward to the RMA process based on what I have read from many other people.

    Both don't look that great to me. That's why I turn them off and usually just use externally injected SMAA instead. Honestly I just have not been impressed with any of the up-scaling techs yet including DLSS. All I see are motion artifacts here and there and often an overly-sharpened look...

    Why would you want to take a minor downgrade?

    Yeah, I have absolutely no doubt that there are people who are affected by it. But yeah, for the vast majority of people it's not an issue.

    Yeah, SDR content at 120 nits looks great and as intended in Creator sRGB mode at 2.4 gamma. And HDR content looks great as intended in the standard HDR mode. I don't understand what's so controversial lol. I have seen many monitors and this one easily looks by far the best and causes no eye...

    Not sure what you are trying to prove here. The low/original looks significantly better.

    The whole issue is with SDR you can't... Power law gamma doesn't allow it. Highlights can be made bright, sure, but regular things will then also be way too bright too and you can't prevent that, because they are encoded at the same triplet values. You need an absolute scale like PQ EOTF...

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

    The LCD is not flickering. I can confirm that with a 960fps slo-mo camera. 200 nits full white field is just not a comfortable brightness. SDR and HDR are completely different formats. SDR is designed for around 100 nits peak white. The brightness of the various elements on the screen are...

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

    Not sure what you mean by this. My room is never bright. It's dim at the most to completely dark most of the time. I mainly use this monitor at 120 nits for SDR for several hours a day and never have had any eye strain in the months I have been using it. I wouldn't want more than this for...

    Doesn't this only affect a small portion of people? I've never had even a hint of eye strain from any OLED (iPhone, TV) including this new QD monitor and I sit in front of it programming for hours a day and gaming in the dark.
