This video is gold. I hate when i need to watch 10 different videos to get the information i need to learn about a product. Thank you im watching all of your videos
One of the big selling points of this for me was the Picture-By-Picture mode. It's AWESOME to have my work computer and my play computer on the same screen at the same time without issue.
Damn i thought i was watching a very big UA-camrs that reviews techs your video quality is insane and very accurate you don't deserve 50k subscriber you deserve 10 million subscribers keep it up and iam very sure you'll reach it
Yeah i blew my money on the AW3423DW and i returned it cause i said this is too much money and then re bought it. It will change youre gaming life and you will never ever be able to go back and im not joking its shocking how amazing it looks and makes games feel.
So true because I also bought the AW3423DW version and I'm slightly regretting it because thus AW3423DWF version is cheaper and can get firmware updates which the AW3423DW can't.
Best review in the world of this monitor. Made me decide to buy it as I own a high end pc, but have a cheap 1440p monitor. Thanks for going straight to the points too! For that you get an like + an subscription 🙌
Great review, highlighted pro and cons of the monitor without overhyping/etc . I'm using this monitor now for over 1500h while not beeing a hardcore gamer. I mainly program in dark mode and low brightness (0-15%) and have nearly no static elements. The rest of the time I play Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor, Elden Ring, Horizon Zero Dawn, Forza, Anno 1800 or watching HDR Movies from BluRays (more on that later). Have not experienced any burn in so far. Interestingly, the color management does work very well with my ArchLinux distro, but obviously no HDR so far, while colors in Windows, even with the DCI-P3 color profile for this monitor installed and activated, are all oversaturated and greenish. So use HDR TrueBlack or HDR1000 with firmware M3B104 and get excellent colors with 10bit resolution. I have some tips (especially, because most reviews blame the monitor for the text clarity, but that's actually a software issue): For Windows Users: u can use the newest MacType from GitHub (snowie2000) and edit the default.ini and replace the "[GENERAL]" part to [GENERAL] Name=AW3423DWF PixelLayout=-18,-11,2,22,16,-11 I'm also using AntiAliasMode=2, HintingMode=1,GammaMode=1 and some weighting adjustments: NormalWeight=22, BoldWeigt=5. But they are just personal preference. For Linux users (I use it for programming): u can clone freetype2 and install it from source (depends on your distro). Before building, u have to edit the ft_smooth_init function in src/smooth/ftsmooth.c: sub[0].x = -18; sub[0].y = -11; sub[1].x = 2; sub[1].y = 22; sub[2].x = 16; sub[2].y = -11; and comment out the #define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING in config/ftoption.h Important information for watching movies: You cannot watch HDR from Amazon or Disney+. I didn't test Netflix, but it shall support HDR for windows users. Maybe the firetv stick let u watch HDR movies from Amazon. As mentioned, I use HDR Blurays with MakeMKV and VLC (u need an 4K BluRay Drive, for me the Verbatim works) and that looks amazing. Hopefully those who have this monitor or are willing to buy one find this information useful, the reddit thread is unfortunately private since a few days or weeks. So searching the internet gives nearly no results anymore...
So glad I found your comment! This would be pretty much my EXACT use case (except I use Manjaro, I could install Arch, but I'm lazy, don't hate me plz x'D). I've just bought a DELL S3422DWG and it's destroying my eyes, I believe I will return it straightaway... I have 3 questions if you don't mind: How is the OLED treating your eyes on dark backgrounds and low brightness? Do you experience less eyestrain or fatigue? Aren't you afraid of "burning your code editor and terminal" into the panel by programming on it? Do you need to keep a 16:9 monitor as a fallback (or second monitor) for some use cases?
@TechMetalPenguin first, I'm so sorry for my late reply. YT didn't notify about any comments I got except the heart comment... hmm the monitor will feel unusual and maybe uncomfortable the first days. I have migraine and had an episode cause of that, but if u have atleast a dimmed diffuse light and not a spotlight heading to the monitor, I think, this should be no problem. Atleast I had not experienced any issues since then. Only turning the dark mode on and lowering brightness +/ contrast will not directly result in less eyestrain, because of the infinite contrast of OLED. But with greyish brackground it does help a lot. One remark here: the grey will have a "film grain" look to it, but that's part of the oled technology as I have read somewhere ("rtings" maybe). If u have problems with flickering lights/LEDs, I strongly recommend turning FreeSync/Adaptive off (there is a guide in the archwiki (search for "AMDGPU"), maybe there's one for nvidia too) and wayland supports it directly in the "Display Settings" menu, cause the monitor will flicker caused by interference. So far I didn't need a fallback monitor. The only time I had no picture was caused by the monitor turned off when I started my computer. The DisplayPort protocol couldn't initialize it correctly as I turned it on later, but if urs is just in standby or if u turn the monitor on shortly before u turn on ur pc, the monitor should always work. If I need 16:9, I can just use the 2560x1440 resolution. In the case u ment a fallback monitor cause of health issues, there are some days with migraine were it could be useful, but I decided: If I am this sick, that I cannot use my monitor, I should stay away from monitors in general on this day and trink some more water, only read a books, go outside... in rare scenarios in which I must use it, turning the brightness and contrast down helped a lot and I'm happy the monitor can go this dark, while still things are visible. So far, I'm not afraid of burn in, cause my brightness rarely exceeds 15% (I'm mainly active in the night, the day is very loud and bright -> stressful for me). In my intuition about QD-OLED technology: less brightness -> less energy -> less burn in. And a cool remark, since I got it to work the last days: HDR Gaming, watching HDR movies (from bluray) and youtube HDR is possible on Linux with this monitor and amd gpu. I tested Jedi Survivor, Elden Ring, Horizon Zero Dawn. Forza will probably not work, cause it doesn't even start in Linux without HDR :/. But it's a bit tricky to get it working (the tutorial alone on HDR monitor support does not work). If u're interested, I'll try to write a short guide, how I set it up.
@@alexmathewelt7923 day is loud and stressful, autism? If so, same, maybe i should switch over to nocturnal.. and i like to use HDR blurays with makemkv as well.
They fixed the HDR 1000 Peak mode now with firmware update. Gaming in HDR is amazing. Upgraded from the AW3418DW and it was a huge leap. Best monitor ever I got it for $700 after a 300 Cashback. Only con it has some coil whine when darker scenes are displayed.
@@Xtenz01 coil whine, is audible sound directly produced by materials vibrating under the excitation of electromagnetic forces. Some examples of this noise include the mains hum, hum of transformers, the whine of some rotating electric machines, or the buzz of fluorescent lamps. It's not present on all panels it depends on your luck.
Amazing deals on it, between Dell's $200 off for black friday, $120 cashback from my credit card company, and another $100 off from Rakuten I got it for $580
I don't know if anyone mentioned in comment yet, but Dell released few days ago a firmware that fixes HDR 1000 peak mode issues. I would highly recommend update to the latest firmware to get HDR as it meant to be. Now the HDR quality on both dwf and dw is on par after the firmware. There is literarely no more reasons to buy the dw version over dwf, before the fix of the firmware dw version had a lot better HDR peak 1000 mode. Not anymore tho.
@bledar RM the reviews that I've seen comparing them side by side showed it to be basically just as good as the DW after turning on Source Tone Mapping. Was what you saw comparing an older firmware version of the DWF with the DW?
@@JustinTechTips i had the latest dwf version hut everything was so blown out. For me the DW had the best hdr experience, and the second best is the samsung G8. I had constant tearing with that dwf no matter what fps i got. Ended up returning it.
You just reaffirmed every reason I bought this monitor the first day it became available from Dell. I knew I was going with an all AMD build this time. The DWF was a perfect fit. Yes, I am a GAMER first. Building PCs and playing with PCs as a Hobby is not why I do it. Gaming is the Goal and one must have the best bang for the buck. This DWF gets it done.
@@LearnWithTheBest IT was $999.00 for me at Dell. Dell was the only place to buy it on day one. Great monitor. You can set the screen to do its burn-in prevent measures and forget about it.
Just got this monitor on sale. Alot better than I imagined. The pixel refresh was annoying at the beginning but I set it to only go it when it's in stand by
I have been using this 3423DW monitor since December last year and use it only for FS2020. It is been a delight since I first installed it and the performance is simply breathtaking. I guess when running it hard with fast gaming it performs really well. The only comment and small criticism I do have is the toggle control for the settings that will never be my favourite way of adjustment. This gets in the way big time if you are using a Tobii 5 eye tracker as the mount has to be attached below the frame. All in all, absolutely delighted with it in every aspect, buying without seeing one in action is always a leap of faith, this is one I got right I am sure. Great review, glad I found it thanks . . .
what's your thoughts on it only having a 1800R curve? Others have a more aggressive curve. Especially regarding eye strain. Do you have any with with the alienware?
@@Hallo81398I have the DWF and sit about 3ft away from it, zero eyestrain. I'm really pleased with the monitor, I use it mostly in SD and it's an outstanding gaming/movie monitor
I just pulled the trigger and purchased this on dells website for $1375 AUD between Monitor Unboxed's reivew and yours it helped me make the final decision to buy it. I've been using the Acer Predator X34GS for a year or so now but really wanted OLED as I game and watch a lot of movies n other media and the IPS glow and black light bleed has always been distracting to me on LCD's. Can't wait till i get this.
800 at Best buy now. Picked one yesterday!! They're insane in person! And I got this for music production. Not gaming lol. I just couldn't find that shiny look on other monitors panels.
So… I watched this video twice! I ordered from Dell for $650 and the dual monitor arm you recommended for $99 from Amazon. I can’t say enough how happy I am with my set up a purchase! Gaming through a different level, with the same Lenovo legion Pro 7 RTx 4090 laptop.
I just got this monitor earlier today from Best Buy with 4 year’s of Geek Squad Protection for $1,149.98 no tax in Oregon & so far I’m definitely not disappointed 😱😱😱👍🏿
thanks man. what monitor would you recommend that's top of line like this, perhaps even curved, but for someone with static apps running for years? thx in advance! Happy new year.
For whoever is waiting for a good deal on this monitor, i picked it up for $506 at Best Buy with the Excellect Open Box option. I paired that with a 4 year warranty which kept it under $700 after tax. I moved from the 38" LG Ultragear UW which is double the price. The contrast, deep blacks and rich tone in general have justified the purchase while saving me $1000. Good luck. I HIGHLY recommend this monitor to anyone playing FPS and RPG games with a higher end build.
@@jeffn1215 I see this deal currently as well, and am contemplating getting it as well. I currently have a 34 inch 1440p 100hz moniter. This would be an insanse upgrade, wish it was 240 hz tho
@edcourv Awesome! Glad it was helpful for you! Please remember to use my link if you do get one! geni.us/Alienware-AW3423DWF It's the main reason I currently can do this full time!
I hope they decide to make a 4K version soon. I’m planning on building a new 4K computer gaming/editing maybe next year or even 2 years, and I will be going from my current 1080p build (23 inch monitor) to a 4K build with a widescreen monitor.
only one 4k ultrawide exists to my knowledge, and they (dell) decided to call it a '5k2k' i really despise these 'k' naming schemes, they are so inconsistent. it's not a gaming monitor, it's an LCD with 75Hz for professionals. i doubt we will have worthwhile 4k ultrawide gaming screens for a long while, very (very) expensive too. Probably best to go with a a 16:9 4k monitor, or a monitor like this.
January Alienware come up with few new monitors is QLED 4K & others , But i am sure would be expensive the one I'm looking for TO GET is that 32" QD-OLED WITH 240 refresh rate is f*n awesome I WANNA KNOW whats the price on it damnit my eyes on that F**** ya! is Alienware AW3225QF
Good review, man. It had to take forever to compile all of this info, I’m sure, but you made it look so easy, lol. Really helps me to fine tune my purchase decision. Kudos!! 👊🏼
Really nice review! I picked one of these up today at my local BestBuy for $650. The OOTB video settings are oversaturated, but easy to fix with a few menu adjustments. I will need to find a shallower stand as this one sticks out a whopping 12" from the wall and is really in my face. Other than that I just LOVE it already. Do you believe in love at first sight? 😅
Would this also be a good recommendation for content creation ... graphics or video? I love to purchase an Apple Studio display, but most of my work is done on a PC. So looking for a good high quality comparable Studio display, but for a PC.
If price wasn’t an issue what monitor would you recommend this or the XENEON FLEX 45WQHD? I would mainly use for gaming and movies I have a top tier computer with a Asus rog 4090. It’s time for a monitor upgrade right now I have a older Alienware untrawide lcd so this one caught my eye as I love the one I have now so having it in oled would be awesome Everything about the XENEON FLEX 45WQHD seems top tier but I was told there’s no height adjustment which would be a bit of a deal breaker for me. Anyways let me know.
hey @retrolivegaming9600 yes that one is definitely my favorite. Two things to take note on. The Xeneon Flex since it is so big will have pixels large enough to notice them if you plan to view your screen closer than 2 feet. Honestly though it's so big that it feels weird to sit that close. Second thing like you said is the lack of adjustability (height adjustment and no VESA mounting) bestbuy.7tiv.net/anNOxj My second favorite is the Alienware OLED in this video. bestbuy.7tiv.net/DKMxaq The picture is slightly better than the Xeneon Flex. If you do end up getting either of these today (or even a different monitor) please remember to use my links as purchases made through them give me a small commission at no cost to you and it helps the channel grow and get better!
Hey, great review. I just sent back my XENEON 27QHDOLED because of the flickering in brightness, it was very annoying and very troublesome for my eyes. Does this OLED panel have the same flickering? thanks in advance.
@Tucks034 Thank you Tucks! I personally prefer this one over 4k. I like the wide format and don't think the jump from this resolution to 4k is worth the decreased fps
Subbed and used link.... got the AW3423DWF. i almost got a g8 oled but i heard bad things about using them with AMD cards.... that video suggested the AW3423DW not the DWF glad i found this, being able to update firmware is what made the difference, wasnt going to buy the DW but found this video in the suggested.. glad i did. thanks for the info and i cant wait for my new monitor.. running a 7800x3d and a 7900xtx with a 1440p 165hz lenovo VA panel... its not cutting it haha hope this one does the job
I have one question, I have NVIDIA Gpu and I'm thinking about buy this monitor with free sync which one is cheaper, there's any relevance or difference about the g sync? Or is waste of money?
If you enable Gsync perhaps it good to have but all my years using Nvidia GPUs (3080Ti/4090) I never, enable Gsync so it was an easy choice for the DWF. The other factors are firmware update capability (heard its resolved on the DW now) and the fact that I prefer a black monitor. The PinP feature was the icing on the cake.
Tempted to get the 32" 4K model after trying the Neo G8, once you go 4K hard to go back to 1440. But for now stick with the 57" Neo G9 and wait for the 2024/2025 OLED that I hope helps the text clarity and burn in issues a bit more. I think my ideal setup is 32+39+32 for a triple monitor setup with 21:9 in the middle with 2160 vertical resolution and 4K PPI.
Should I get the Alienware AW2723DF. I want a 4K monitor with very low input lag with at least 120Hz. I wish I can get this one but my budget is around $600😢
Could you explain a bit more about the need or no need for the G-sync module? I've only been into gaming for a few years and I learned the hard way that once you go for an Nvidia GPU you do need a monitor which at least is G-sync compatible.. but is this no longer the case?
From all I've seen. This one is still G-Sync compatible but they dropped the official G-Sync branding as it costs them money. He also says here that there is no issues with NVIDIA cards. I just ordered my new rig and this monitor today. Will try and update when everything is up and running.
You never buy an OLED if the main purpose is office work. Not only are you at a higher risk of burn in, but OLED screens have not clear text quality compared to regular IPS panels and such. If you do mostly office work, get a Mini LED. OLED screens are targeted towards gamers and media consumption, not office work
@@fmatax You're welcome! Just to be clear, I do a lot of programming, but I also do a lot of gaming. Perhaps 50/50, so I'm going for an OLED, more specifically the Samsung Odyssey G8 :) You just have to accept that you can't get the best from both worlds, and I want better quality when gaming, and less so when coding
Hi. Can you please answer! l 🙏. will the pictures quality look worse than 4k 32-Inch nano ips monitor? Cause I used 2k 32-Inch monitor before, and the games looked a bit pixilated and not too clear compared to 4k. It was night and day difference for me going from 2k to 4k.
well, a 2k (1920x1080) 32' monitor will have (4739ppi^2) 4x less pixel density than a 32' 4k (3840x2160) monitor (18956ppi^2). this 3440x1440 monitor has a pixel density of 12030ppi^2
@@Roy-jo9up it is a large step in terms of number of pixels, but you are on about pixel density, and a smaller 4K screen would have a far higher ppi^2 than a larger one. These pixel density values are for those specific size and resolutions of monitor. ppi^2 (pixels per inch squared) increases with higher resolution and smaller screen size.
Cool review! About to buy 3 of these for my new Sim Racing Rig I'm building. I'll use your link. Had 3 3418's (IPS) for my first rig. They were awesome so I can't imagine what these will look like curved around my field of view. Building a new PC also with the RTX 4090, I9 14900K, ASUS Z790-E Gaming WIFI II, 64GB RAM, and Corsair Gen 5 SSD in a Corsair iCUE 7000X RGB with their H170i radiator setup. Looking to do some Flight Sim also. This build should run Iracing, Assetto Corsa, Flight Sim, and the others with ease. Thanks for the info and reviews as they have helped me up my knowledge about the new stuff out. Preciate it!
I got this monitor today and it is absolutely beautiful, iam genuinly suprised at how good and how different the graphics are, but when set up my monitor seems to be tilted a little towards my right, do you think its a faulty stand or something i have done wrong? Any response will be apreciated
Even if the G8 would have better colors. I dont think anyone could notice because it would be just a little bit. These are all the same panels from samsung of course.
I currently have samsung g95sc and I have to return this again (second time) because this has some screen issues. I don't know what is propability of getting "broken" monitor. I am doubting samsung after this back to back issues.
Thank you for the review ! But why is it not good for producers ? I am looking for a monitor suitable for producers but also good for gaming occasionally.
@8:52 You're saying that "the newer DWF model model has the ability to upgrade the firmware, the DWF does not." So... which one are are you talking about here?
At first wasnt feeling how small the height of the of monitor was but the width was huge. Got use to it pretty fast lol now i cant get over good my games look on it. Best graphics i seen so far
I ordered this one. I first thought about the Samsung Oled 8 (it is 80€ cheaper atm) but they dont have Pixel Burn In covered in the warranty and it´s 85% TV and 15% Monitor. This one here is more of an classic screen an it has the same Panel and a better warranty. But I guess I need to update the Firmware first when it arrives. I have a 5950X and a 3090 I guess It will be a solid fit for this. A good trick is to set your Task bar to auto hide.
@@LukeTG1TTV Awesome! It's been great so far. No issues. The gloss screen does show smudged easier. But if you keep it clean and don't sneeze in it. It's great 😃. I mainly just play Warzone with it. But the dark blacks are amazing.
Hi I m looking to buy my first gaming screen and this one looks like the best, mainly using for Flight sim24 and Tower pro3, would all this work on this type of screen? I'm new to gaming and trying to buy the best set uo, thanks in advance.
BEEN THINKING ABOUT THE 38 INCH, Its twice the money of my Dell and my Dell is really good, just upgraded my computer to i9-12900 processor w a 4070 super graphics card. Will the 900.00 be worth it?
I have read multiple posts on Reddit and Dell about these having terrible coil whine and having to go through 4-5 replacements before finally getting a good one. Do you know anything about this? I'm the type of person to do weeks of research and this one came out the best for me, so I feel extremely disappointed that after weeks of research, I might not get the monitor I want bc of something like this.
@ nope. You’ll still see the benefits from it. The whole g module was an utter scam from NVIDIA anyway when it was possible to do via software without the hardware.
So would you recommend this over the lg 34" superwide that is normal oled, matte screen, 240hz and the curve is much more aggressive. I just don't want to feel like I'm missing out on the higher refresh rate. I have a 4080 super So cod and fortnite could absolutely reach 240fps. Things I like more about the alienware: more subtle curve, better colors and more brightness.
Thank you 3:42 to confirm that my Bewiser BP100 which comes with 75x75 and 100x100 Vesa mounting fits on this monitor even though it says "32 inch only", this is 34.18'' inch and still falls within the parameters sweeeeeet.
Watching your review after I ordered this on best buy canada which on sale right now.Can't wait and go good with my new build with an gigabyte aero RTX 4090.Oled here I come.
Do you need a 100x100 vesa adapter to mount it ? I have the Ergotron HX Wall adapter that I want to attach it to but not sure if I also need the adapter or if it will slot right in
I watched a video by some smart guy I forget the channel but he discovered it's because some screens are limited to 40Gbps and if you run it in 40Gbps mode it works because most GPU's try to default to 45Gbps mode@@Deryck206

@@bisho9243 amazon bro 760!
Yeah i blew my money on the AW3423DW and i returned it cause i said this is too much money and then re bought it. It will change youre gaming life and you will never ever be able to go back and im not joking its shocking how amazing it looks and makes games feel.
So true because I also bought the AW3423DW version and I'm slightly regretting it because thus AW3423DWF version is cheaper and can get firmware updates which the AW3423DW can't.
But you have gsync right?@@khalilrazak6486
Best review in the world of this monitor.
Made me decide to buy it as I own a high end pc, but have a cheap 1440p monitor.
Thanks for going straight to the points too!
For that you get an like + an subscription 🙌
How do you like it one year later?
Great review, highlighted pro and cons of the monitor without overhyping/etc .
I'm using this monitor now for over 1500h while not beeing a hardcore gamer. I mainly program in dark mode and low brightness (0-15%) and have nearly no static elements. The rest of the time I play Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor, Elden Ring, Horizon Zero Dawn, Forza, Anno 1800 or watching HDR Movies from BluRays (more on that later). Have not experienced any burn in so far. Interestingly, the color management does work very well with my ArchLinux distro, but obviously no HDR so far, while colors in Windows, even with the DCI-P3 color profile for this monitor installed and activated, are all oversaturated and greenish. So use HDR TrueBlack or HDR1000 with firmware M3B104 and get excellent colors with 10bit resolution.
I have some tips (especially, because most reviews blame the monitor for the text clarity, but that's actually a software issue): For Windows Users: u can use the newest MacType from GitHub (snowie2000) and edit the default.ini and replace the "[GENERAL]" part to
[GENERAL]
Name=AW3423DWF
PixelLayout=-18,-11,2,22,16,-11
I'm also using AntiAliasMode=2, HintingMode=1,GammaMode=1 and some weighting adjustments: NormalWeight=22, BoldWeigt=5. But they are just personal preference.
For Linux users (I use it for programming): u can clone freetype2 and install it from source (depends on your distro). Before building, u have to edit the ft_smooth_init function in src/smooth/ftsmooth.c:
sub[0].x = -18;
sub[0].y = -11;
sub[1].x = 2;
sub[1].y = 22;
sub[2].x = 16;
sub[2].y = -11;
and comment out the
#define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING
in config/ftoption.h
Important information for watching movies: You cannot watch HDR from Amazon or Disney+. I didn't test Netflix, but it shall support HDR for windows users. Maybe the firetv stick let u watch HDR movies from Amazon. As mentioned, I use HDR Blurays with MakeMKV and VLC (u need an 4K BluRay Drive, for me the Verbatim works) and that looks amazing.
Hopefully those who have this monitor or are willing to buy one find this information useful, the reddit thread is unfortunately private since a few days or weeks. So searching the internet gives nearly no results anymore...
Noted, just in case I purchase this monitor
So glad I found your comment! This would be pretty much my EXACT use case (except I use Manjaro, I could install Arch, but I'm lazy, don't hate me plz x'D).
I've just bought a DELL S3422DWG and it's destroying my eyes, I believe I will return it straightaway...
I have 3 questions if you don't mind:
How is the OLED treating your eyes on dark backgrounds and low brightness? Do you experience less eyestrain or fatigue?
Aren't you afraid of "burning your code editor and terminal" into the panel by programming on it?
Do you need to keep a 16:9 monitor as a fallback (or second monitor) for some use cases?
❤
@TechMetalPenguin first, I'm so sorry for my late reply. YT didn't notify about any comments I got except the heart comment...
hmm the monitor will feel unusual and maybe uncomfortable the first days. I have migraine and had an episode cause of that, but if u have atleast a dimmed diffuse light and not a spotlight heading to the monitor, I think, this should be no problem. Atleast I had not experienced any issues since then.
Only turning the dark mode on and lowering brightness +/ contrast will not directly result in less eyestrain, because of the infinite contrast of OLED. But with greyish brackground it does help a lot. One remark here: the grey will have a "film grain" look to it, but that's part of the oled technology as I have read somewhere ("rtings" maybe).
If u have problems with flickering lights/LEDs, I strongly recommend turning FreeSync/Adaptive off (there is a guide in the archwiki (search for "AMDGPU"), maybe there's one for nvidia too) and wayland supports it directly in the "Display Settings" menu, cause the monitor will flicker caused by interference.
So far I didn't need a fallback monitor. The only time I had no picture was caused by the monitor turned off when I started my computer. The DisplayPort protocol couldn't initialize it correctly as I turned it on later, but if urs is just in standby or if u turn the monitor on shortly before u turn on ur pc, the monitor should always work. If I need 16:9, I can just use the 2560x1440 resolution.
In the case u ment a fallback monitor cause of health issues, there are some days with migraine were it could be useful, but I decided: If I am this sick, that I cannot use my monitor, I should stay away from monitors in general on this day and trink some more water, only read a books, go outside... in rare scenarios in which I must use it, turning the brightness and contrast down helped a lot and I'm happy the monitor can go this dark, while still things are visible.
So far, I'm not afraid of burn in, cause my brightness rarely exceeds 15% (I'm mainly active in the night, the day is very loud and bright -> stressful for me).
In my intuition about QD-OLED technology: less brightness -> less energy -> less burn in.
And a cool remark, since I got it to work the last days: HDR Gaming, watching HDR movies (from bluray) and youtube HDR is possible on Linux with this monitor and amd gpu. I tested Jedi Survivor, Elden Ring, Horizon Zero Dawn. Forza will probably not work, cause it doesn't even start in Linux without HDR :/. But it's a bit tricky to get it working (the tutorial alone on HDR monitor support does not work). If u're interested, I'll try to write a short guide, how I set it up.
@@alexmathewelt7923 day is loud and stressful, autism? If so, same, maybe i should switch over to nocturnal.. and i like to use HDR blurays with makemkv as well.
They fixed the HDR 1000 Peak mode now with firmware update. Gaming in HDR is amazing. Upgraded from the AW3418DW and it was a huge leap. Best monitor ever I got it for $700 after a 300 Cashback.
Only con it has some coil whine when darker scenes are displayed.
Coil whine? (Not english had trouble understanding the meaning ) can you explain ?
@@Xtenz01 coil whine, is audible sound directly produced by materials vibrating under the excitation of electromagnetic forces. Some examples of this noise include the mains hum, hum of transformers, the whine of some rotating electric machines, or the buzz of fluorescent lamps.
It's not present on all panels it depends on your luck.
Amazing deals on it, between Dell's $200 off for black friday, $120 cashback from my credit card company, and another $100 off from Rakuten I got it for $580
So HDR will work fine with a nvidia GPU?
@@nflikt yeah, no issues with my 4090
I don't know if anyone mentioned in comment yet, but Dell released few days ago a firmware that fixes HDR 1000 peak mode issues. I would highly recommend update to the latest firmware to get HDR as it meant to be. Now the HDR quality on both dwf and dw is on par after the firmware. There is literarely no more reasons to buy the dw version over dwf, before the fix of the firmware dw version had a lot better HDR peak 1000 mode. Not anymore tho.
Just updated and it works a treat.
I'll try it
What about gsync??
@@icephoenix3565 it's always worked with gsync
What about 10-bit color? DWF only works at 100 Hz and DW at 144 Hz
This was a great review. Very concise. Thanks for pointing out the bezels, not a deal breaker, but good to know
I don’t know why but I watched this video 2 times.
@Aperson because you're awesome and want smaller UA-cam channels to succeed :)
@@JustinTechTips the DW model is way better than the dwf especially if you compare them side by side.
@@JustinTechTips I watched the I7400, a7300, and I8100 reviews 12 times before using the link because I was indecisive.
@bledar RM the reviews that I've seen comparing them side by side showed it to be basically just as good as the DW after turning on Source Tone Mapping. Was what you saw comparing an older firmware version of the DWF with the DW?
@@JustinTechTips i had the latest dwf version hut everything was so blown out. For me the DW had the best hdr experience, and the second best is the samsung G8. I had constant tearing with that dwf no matter what fps i got. Ended up returning it.
You just reaffirmed every reason I bought this monitor the first day it became available from Dell. I knew I was going with an all AMD build this time. The DWF was a perfect fit. Yes, I am a GAMER first. Building PCs and playing with PCs as a Hobby is not why I do it. Gaming is the Goal and one must have the best bang for the buck. This DWF gets it done.
How much was it on release day? It's at 1k now and I'm thinking about waiting for black friday
@@LearnWithTheBest IT was $999.00 for me at Dell. Dell was the only place to buy it on day one. Great monitor. You can set the screen to do its burn-in prevent measures and forget about it.

Anyone watching this today there’s a deal on the Dell website for $650, just picked this up. What a deal!
Just got this monitor on sale. Alot better than I imagined. The pixel refresh was annoying at the beginning but I set it to only go it when it's in stand by
I have been using this 3423DW monitor since December last year and use it only for FS2020. It is been a delight since I first installed it and the performance is simply breathtaking. I guess when running it hard with fast gaming it performs really well. The only comment and small criticism I do have is the toggle control for the settings that will never be my favourite way of adjustment. This gets in the way big time if you are using a Tobii 5 eye tracker as the mount has to be attached below the frame. All in all, absolutely delighted with it in every aspect, buying without seeing one in action is always a leap of faith, this is one I got right I am sure. Great review, glad I found it thanks . . .
what's your thoughts on it only having a 1800R curve? Others have a more aggressive curve. Especially regarding eye strain. Do you have any with with the alienware?
@@Hallo81398I have the DWF and sit about 3ft away from it, zero eyestrain. I'm really pleased with the monitor, I use it mostly in SD and it's an outstanding gaming/movie monitor
I just pulled the trigger and purchased this on dells website for $1375 AUD between Monitor Unboxed's reivew and yours it helped me make the final decision to buy it. I've been using the Acer Predator X34GS for a year or so now but really wanted OLED as I game and watch a lot of movies n other media and the IPS glow and black light bleed has always been distracting to me on LCD's. Can't wait till i get this.
How is the monitor?

800 at Best buy now. Picked one yesterday!! They're insane in person! And I got this for music production. Not gaming lol. I just couldn't find that shiny look on other monitors panels.

That hexagon back wall is really cool. Did you make that yourself?
thanks man. what monitor would you recommend that's top of line like this, perhaps even curved, but for someone with static apps running for years? thx in advance! Happy new year.
For whoever is waiting for a good deal on this monitor, i picked it up for $506 at Best Buy with the Excellect Open Box option. I paired that with a 4 year warranty which kept it under $700 after tax. I moved from the 38" LG Ultragear UW which is double the price. The contrast, deep blacks and rich tone in general have justified the purchase while saving me $1000. Good luck. I HIGHLY recommend this monitor to anyone playing FPS and RPG games with a higher end build.

I hope they decide to make a 4K version soon. I’m planning on building a new 4K computer gaming/editing maybe next year or even 2 years, and I will be going from my current 1080p build (23 inch monitor) to a 4K build with a widescreen monitor.
only one 4k ultrawide exists to my knowledge, and they (dell) decided to call it a '5k2k' i really despise these 'k' naming schemes, they are so inconsistent. it's not a gaming monitor, it's an LCD with 75Hz for professionals. i doubt we will have worthwhile 4k ultrawide gaming screens for a long while, very (very) expensive too. Probably best to go with a a 16:9 4k monitor, or a monitor like this.
A 1600p version of it would be nice. They only sell the normal led, not oled in 38inch
January Alienware come up with few new monitors is QLED 4K & others , But i am sure would be expensive
the one I'm looking for TO GET is that 32" QD-OLED WITH 240 refresh rate is f*n awesome I WANNA KNOW whats the price on it damnit my eyes on that F**** ya! is Alienware AW3225QF
You'll regret getting 4k. Even the rtx 4090 struggles to go past 100fps. What's the point of a 4k 240hz monitor when gpu can't even fully utilize it?
4K seems pointless to me at this size. 1440p is the sweet spot imo.
Just ordered myself one for Christmas. Can’t wait
Just got mine on Best Buy I’m so excited
Good review, man. It had to take forever to compile all of this info, I’m sure, but you made it look so easy, lol. Really helps me to fine tune my purchase decision. Kudos!! 👊🏼
just struck a SICK deal and got one for $900 CAD. stoked to get it.
Lemme know how you like it! I’m considering it too
Really nice review! I picked one of these up today at my local BestBuy for $650. The OOTB video settings are oversaturated, but easy to fix with a few menu adjustments. I will need to find a shallower stand as this one sticks out a whopping 12" from the wall and is really in my face. Other than that I just LOVE it already. Do you believe in love at first sight? 😅
Would this also be a good recommendation for content creation ... graphics or video? I love to purchase an Apple Studio display, but most of my work is done on a PC. So looking for a good high quality comparable Studio display, but for a PC.
OLED, as is stands, is not the best type of display technology for your application
If price wasn’t an issue what monitor would you recommend this or the XENEON FLEX 45WQHD? I would mainly use for gaming and movies I have a top tier computer with a Asus rog 4090.
It’s time for a monitor upgrade right now I have a older Alienware untrawide lcd so this one caught my eye as I love the one I have now so having it in oled would be awesome
Everything about the XENEON FLEX 45WQHD seems top tier but I was told there’s no height adjustment which would be a bit of a deal breaker for me.
Anyways let me know.
hey @retrolivegaming9600 yes that one is definitely my favorite. Two things to take note on. The Xeneon Flex since it is so big will have pixels large enough to notice them if you plan to view your screen closer than 2 feet. Honestly though it's so big that it feels weird to sit that close. Second thing like you said is the lack of adjustability (height adjustment and no VESA mounting) bestbuy.7tiv.net/anNOxj My second favorite is the Alienware OLED in this video. bestbuy.7tiv.net/DKMxaq The picture is slightly better than the Xeneon Flex.

Hey, great review. I just sent back my XENEON 27QHDOLED because of the flickering in brightness, it was very annoying and very troublesome for my eyes. Does this OLED panel have the same flickering? thanks in advance.

Subbed and used link.... got the AW3423DWF. i almost got a g8 oled but i heard bad things about using them with AMD cards.... that video suggested the AW3423DW not the DWF glad i found this, being able to update firmware is what made the difference, wasnt going to buy the DW but found this video in the suggested.. glad i did. thanks for the info and i cant wait for my new monitor.. running a 7800x3d and a 7900xtx with a 1440p 165hz lenovo VA panel... its not cutting it haha hope this one does the job
Do you need speakers? Does it come with sound?
As of right now (6/11/23), Dell raised the price of the DWF back to $1099.99, which is just $100 less than the DW at $1199.99.
300 dollars off atm
I have one question, I have NVIDIA Gpu and I'm thinking about buy this monitor with free sync which one is cheaper, there's any relevance or difference about the g sync? Or is waste of money?
If you enable Gsync perhaps it good to have but all my years using Nvidia GPUs (3080Ti/4090) I never, enable Gsync so it was an easy choice for the DWF. The other factors are firmware update capability (heard its resolved on the DW now) and the fact that I prefer a black monitor. The PinP feature was the icing on the cake.
It is king I’ve been using it since 6 months now. The best monitor I have ever had so far..
I don't personally understand why 200 people would dislike this video.
Tempted to get the 32" 4K model after trying the Neo G8, once you go 4K hard to go back to 1440.
But for now stick with the 57" Neo G9 and wait for the 2024/2025 OLED that I hope helps the text clarity and burn in issues a bit more.
I think my ideal setup is 32+39+32 for a triple monitor setup with 21:9 in the middle with 2160 vertical resolution and 4K PPI.

what preset mode do you run this monitor? Standard? Creator?
Could you explain a bit more about the need or no need for the G-sync module? I've only been into gaming for a few years and I learned the hard way that once you go for an Nvidia GPU you do need a monitor which at least is G-sync compatible.. but is this no longer the case?
From all I've seen. This one is still G-Sync compatible but they dropped the official G-Sync branding as it costs them money. He also says here that there is no issues with NVIDIA cards. I just ordered my new rig and this monitor today. Will try and update when everything is up and running.

Thank you for the review.
How about using it mainly for office work? Would it be susceptible to pixel burn out?
You never buy an OLED if the main purpose is office work. Not only are you at a higher risk of burn in, but OLED screens have not clear text quality compared to regular IPS panels and such. If you do mostly office work, get a Mini LED. OLED screens are targeted towards gamers and media consumption, not office work
@@Seriksy Thank you, i did not know that.
@@fmatax You're welcome! Just to be clear, I do a lot of programming, but I also do a lot of gaming. Perhaps 50/50, so I'm going for an OLED, more specifically the Samsung Odyssey G8 :) You just have to accept that you can't get the best from both worlds, and I want better quality when gaming, and less so when coding

well, a 2k (1920x1080) 32' monitor will have (4739ppi^2) 4x less pixel density than a 32' 4k (3840x2160) monitor (18956ppi^2). this 3440x1440 monitor has a pixel density of 12030ppi^2

@@Roy-jo9up it is a large step in terms of number of pixels, but you are on about pixel density, and a smaller 4K screen would have a far higher ppi^2 than a larger one.

It’s actually got a pivot of 5 degrees in both directions so you should be able to just rotate it towards the left to even it out
I think a fairer comparison would be towards the Samsung Odyssey g8 OLED. People say that one has better colors too
Even if the G8 would have better colors. I dont think anyone could notice because it would be just a little bit. These are all the same panels from samsung of course.

@8:52 You're saying that "the newer DWF model model has the ability to upgrade the firmware, the DWF does not." So... which one are are you talking about here?
At first wasnt feeling how small the height of the of monitor was but the width was huge. Got use to it pretty fast lol now i cant get over good my games look on it. Best graphics i seen so far
I ordered this one. I first thought about the Samsung Oled 8 (it is 80€ cheaper atm) but they dont have Pixel Burn In covered in the warranty and it´s 85% TV and 15% Monitor. This one here is more of an classic screen an it has the same Panel and a better warranty. But I guess I need to update the Firmware first when it arrives. I have a 5950X and a 3090 I guess It will be a solid fit for this. A good trick is to set your Task bar to auto hide.
Great review. Thanks man! Will definitely be my next purchase.
Nice Review. Just pulled the trigger and user your link. Hope it helps
Awesome, thank you @zkilla4611 . Glad the video helped you!
How’s it been for you?
@@LukeTG1TTV Awesome! It's been great so far. No issues. The gloss screen does show smudged easier. But if you keep it clean and don't sneeze in it. It's great 😃. I mainly just play Warzone with it. But the dark blacks are amazing.
@@zkilla4611 nice thanks 😁 I just had to return a Samsung IPS panel. The ghosting and glow was insane.
@@zkilla4611 what’s the audio port I saw in the video? 3,5mm?
Hi I m looking to buy my first gaming screen and this one looks like the best, mainly using for Flight sim24 and Tower pro3, would all this work on this type of screen? I'm new to gaming and trying to buy the best set uo, thanks in advance.
Got this Monitor Last Week , it’s Amazing guys, believe me
Do you still feel the same towards this Alienware monitor? Keep up the great content, cheers from up North Canada!
BEEN THINKING ABOUT THE 38 INCH, Its twice the money of my Dell and my Dell is really good, just upgraded my computer to i9-12900 processor w a 4070 super graphics card. Will the 900.00 be worth it?
Picking this monitor up today. Using it for Star citizen and a few other games.
How’ve you found the monitor?
That was such a great review. Thank you
If you get this monitor, you MUST update firmware for this monitor to get full 1k nits. I have this monitor, and I love it!
This is a great review. This is truly the king of gaming monitors!
I have read multiple posts on Reddit and Dell about these having terrible coil whine and having to go through 4-5 replacements before finally getting a good one. Do you know anything about this? I'm the type of person to do weeks of research and this one came out the best for me, so I feel extremely disappointed that after weeks of research, I might not get the monitor I want bc of something like this.
what are your thoughts on the DWF or the Samsung G9 OLED.
Another great review! Thanks for all the details! :D
@Miqo'te Lover thank you! I really appreciate that. Glad it was helpful!
the key difference between the DW and DWF is they dropped the g sync module for the DWF hence the cheaper price. Its till g sync compatible though.
What does it mean? Will I lose something important without g sync having an nvidia gpu?
@ nope. You’ll still see the benefits from it. The whole g module was an utter scam from NVIDIA anyway when it was possible to do via software without the hardware.
So would you recommend this over the lg 34" superwide that is normal oled, matte screen, 240hz and the curve is much more aggressive. I just don't want to feel like I'm missing out on the higher refresh rate. I have a 4080 super So cod and fortnite could absolutely reach 240fps. Things I like more about the alienware: more subtle curve, better colors and more brightness.
Can this monitor be used for a PS5? Sorry, for my ignorance on this question. 😅
Why it’s so big price difference and which is better? Amd freesync premium pro - 1300 cad $ and nvidia g-sync ultimate - 1650 cad$
because nVidia charges them to use the G-sync module. there is NO reason to buy the DW, buy the DWF instead
Thank you 3:42 to confirm that my Bewiser BP100 which comes with 75x75 and 100x100 Vesa mounting fits on this monitor even though it says "32 inch only", this is 34.18'' inch and still falls within the parameters sweeeeeet.
Will I be able to fit this on a dual monitor arm for 27” inch screens? I know it’s a 34” inch but it’s light so? 🤔
Which monitor you do you recommend for streaming?
this is an excellent review very well presented, thanks for the information ⭐⭐⭐
Why is the right half of my monitor darker than the left half? Is there some sort of demo mode that I don’t see?
I just bought this bad boy and the Omen 45L both through your links! Joined the club too because i love that you say God Bless ❤️
Love your content!
Silly question but what's that video with the honey dipping stick? I always see it in stores.

Is this monitor appropriate or good for having it as a main monitor for a razer blade 15” laptop?
I ended up returning the LG45 ultra..I can’t do that matte screen.
This is awesome, I love it.
man this video is edited to become such a smooth fluent watch. Must have taken a ton of work !
Watching your review after I ordered this on best buy canada which on sale right now.Can't wait and go good with my new build with an gigabyte aero RTX 4090.Oled here I come.
Do you need a 100x100 vesa adapter to mount it ? I have the Ergotron HX Wall adapter that I want to attach it to but not sure if I also need the adapter or if it will slot right in
What would you pick for an Editing Monitor, Photos and Video than watching youtubes and videos and also 10% of the time for Gaming?
This was such a well done video. Thank you.
Can’t decide between getting the Alienware DWF or a 4k monitor, having a 4090 makes me think 4k but ultrawide looks so good !
Samsung 34" S95C is out in 2024 I'm waiting for that. 4K is the new 1080p imho.
Even if you have the 4090, new 4k monitors will and should have Dp2.1 input to support 4k@120hz but the only gpu that supports that is the 7900xtx.
I watched a video by some smart guy I forget the channel but he discovered it's because some screens are limited to 40Gbps and if you run it in 40Gbps mode it works because most GPU's try to default to 45Gbps mode@@Deryck206
