The active fan on the AW3225QF is a non-issue. Can barely hear it even when leaning in to check. The problem with the previous gen was that there were 2 fans, one of which was revving up because of the Gsync module
"I can't understand how someone can put up with fans on monitors" Me with my AC unit buzzing behind me, the TV turned on, the fans of the PC at 50% minimum fan speed and I'm just wearing a headset.
Really good video overall. I found it detailed, informative, and concise. But mentioning the fan over and over was a bit annoying. Personally i don’t care how loud fans are, I play with headphones that are generally pretty loud and I can’t hear anything fans or not. I’d wager fans probably aren’t a huge deal for most people buying a monitor primarily for gaming
I scrolled down the comments 2min in the first time he mentioned Fan noise xD. I wear IEM earbuds and sometimes switch to headphones. PC fans never bothered me. Heck I have an air purifier that's blasting white noise!
Best and most comprehensive review of all of the 2024 OLED monitors coming out. Amazing organization much better than any of the big tech UA-camrs that I love. This is going to be a huge channel in six months ❤
@@AQUASURF DP2.1 could mean UHBR 13.5. For it to mean anything in this context it needs to be UHBR 20. Sadly it having a fan means a no from me either way. Here's to hoping the Aorus comes out in Q1.
The glossy (or semi-glossy) coating on the Alienware is not mirror-like like what's found on the LG TVs such as the C-series. In this video I have finally learned what the three choices are and what they are called: 1. Anti-glare (i.e. matte); 2. Anti-reflection (i.e. semi-glossy); 3. Glass (i.e. full-glossy?/mirror-like?). So my question is - Are any of these upcoming 32" 4K OLED monitors (besides the Dough branded one) coming with a GLASS (full-gloss/mirror-like) screen? OR is my only GLASS choice still a LG C2/3/4?? EDIT: I bought the 42" C3. No regrets. It's like a mirror, but it is also like looking through the clearest/cleanest window I've ever looked through.
My question exactly. This new marketing is out of control with anti glare and anti reflective lingo. I want some glassy gloss, and nothing so far seems to be that.
It isn’t mirror-like but it doesn’t hinder image quality in any way. The glass itself doesn’t lend to a better image. The reason why glossy looks better than matte is because there is a *lack* of anti glare coating, not because of some intrinsic positive properties of glass.
Exactly same question I have too. Can't believe the only monitor that ticks all the boxes for me personally is from the one company that's completely unreliable.
I like how the information is presented here, however I'm noticing some popping and clicking in your audio. Perhaps from latency issues with your audio interface?
27 inch, 1440p, 480HZ WOLED from Asus is very high on my radar, I'm just scared it's going to cost a couple hundred dollars more than the 360Hz alienware variant.
Yes, it appears it will. I edited that into the video after recording so it's easily missed. The MSI MEG 321URX might be a contender for most capable of these 32" 4K OLEDs!
Hi thought your video was great, I'm ot sure what to buy & was hoping you might give some advice, I'm currently playing on LGC2 Oled TV 4k 120hz with g-sync it looks amazing but I'm after a 32'' 4k oled monitor for competitive games like Warzone 2.0 & for Single player games too with PS5 & Xbox series X, what is the best 4k 240hz monitor that would be close to the LGC2 but with 240hz?, I do like the sound of LG 240hz Oled & then can use 1080p @ 480hz but not sure it with look as clear as LGC2 ? Hope you might be able to help, ✌
Interesting, I have a aw3423dw and I have never once heard my fan running or firing up. If it does it is imperceptible to me at least, I have heard complaints about how loud the fan is though so I wonder sometimes if it worse or a common defect with some of them and not others. Or if im just not hearing it.
Displayport 2.1 gets you 4k240hz natively while the other ones cap out at 120hz/144hz. Now I already hear you saying ''but the other ports also do 240hz don't they?''. Kinda but not exactly. They use something called DSC (display stream compression) to get to that 240hz which is exactly what it sounds like. ''Although from a mathematical perspective, it is a lossy technique, from the perspective of the viewer, there’s almost no discernible difference between a video rendered at native quality, and one compressed using DSC. This makes it a great tool for monitors and TVs to display content at higher resolution and refresh rates than they might otherwise be capable of.''.
04.20 All those vents you see on the Alienware monitor are for cooling, 3 settings for fan speed with 1 of them being off,,,apparently at level 2 which is full speed ,the fans are barely audible.
bro what are you talking about, im watching this on my alienware 34 qd oled ultra wide and it makes absolutely 0 noise, i really don't hear anything. my pc build is also super quiet running on noctua fans and everything is quiet. you must've gotten a defective unit, i can't even tell where the fans on my monitor are.
If it doesn’t have displayport 2.1 and it doesn’t have a glossy panel it’s an instant NO for me. On flagship monitors there’s no excuse for not having display port 2.1 for when future graphics cards come out. This isn’t something I am buying every 1 to 3 years. This is something I buy maybe twice a decade! I need it to be as future resilient as possible.
Yeah, it disappointed me with the 4090 and it disappoints me with some of these new monitors. The 4090 is still a beast of a card but why use the old standard with it?
HP Omen sounds like "The One," wonder if it will cost more though. I think you need to distinguish between two fan and one fan models because reviews indicate a difference in how that is noticed by the user.
Slightly unrelated but after months of research my head is starting to wobble. Im currently using 2 x 27inch monitors which work v well for my productivity use (having two word documents side by side). Does this mean i need to go to 49inch to get the same screen real estate? Assuming im ditching dual monitors cheers
I never knew there was a fan in the AW3225QF because it’s inaudible and I have very sensitive ears. More importantly though there is no coil whine which is far more of an irritating dealbreaker for me.
now THAT was the review I been waiting for. Excellent explanation on all. I know I want 32, 4k oled and DP2.1 but, not sure of QD or W or if worth waiting for LG new panel. Prices seem high tbh but, expected for the tech brand new. I currently got it down to 2 in my head being the HP or the MSI MEG... Im just concerned about the QD having the magenta tint and yet the WOLED not having the clearest text so we will have to wait and see.
I just got the Alienware and can speak to QD-OLED, I haven't seen magenta once except when I deliberately put a light directly in front of the monitor. To me it's a total non-issue unless I can't light control the room at all in which case I'd rather not do glossy or probably even OLED at all.
i think the prices are gonna be insane for these new monitors, i just bought a lenovo legion 240hz 27 inch 1440p monitor for 213 usd, how can i justify spending 5x 10x for some visual improvements.
well i got this panel for over 3 years now. had to puke at it as it arrived, cause of it's backlight technic also, but now finally we can buy one without so. all said. also after 3 years you want 360hz. you know that then.
@@AQUASURFHe didn’t test *this* Alienware though. He was speaking about an older one. I have this new one and I can’t hear anything, even in a dead silent room.
I had just bought the 27” ASUS OLED PG27AQDM 240Hz 1440p Monitor a few weeks back a really good price after taxes of ~$600. Do you think it’s smarter/more worth it to wait and upgrade to one of the future OLED models coming out in 2024, and return the original Asus 240Hz OLED Monitor I have?
Unless you’re made of money, keep it. $600 for an OLED is a pretty good deal. $600 for that particular monitor is a steal. It’s still going to be an absolute top tier monitor. I would only send it back if you’re genuinely unhappy with it.
depends what you want or need me after a few years knowing that my eyes puke - only for pubg 's stairsteps graphic at wqhd - 4k hasn't to be futureproof. it just is
I have the Acer - Nitro XV275K. I don't even know if it's worth upgrading from that to one of these given I mainly play MMOs. That burn-in fear is real.
@jasoncopemann587 i do more than that and fan noise would annoy tf outta me. I don't like the monitor being curved though. Right now, I've got the gigabyte, hp n rog(depends on dp spec) on my mind and in that order.
the HP Omen Transcend 32 and apparently the MEG 321URX are the only ones advertised as packing both DP 2.1 and HDMI 2.1. I'm ogling the Omen for the Dolby Vision support too. Sadly the FO32U2 has HDMI 2.1 and the FO32U2P sacrifices it for DP 2.1, but that's the only one claiming 80Gbps far. I believe the AW3225QF does have a fan - I can very faintly feel air coming from it - but it's 100.0% inaudible even through Dolby Vision scenes and 95% brightness in SDR. Maybe it's just not hot enough here to stress it.
Yeah I almost bought it too. While my 4090 doesn't use DP 2.1, the next generation surely will. I really liked the Alienware too, the lack of a updated port for the upcoming generation of GPUs is a deal breaker. AMD XTX users probably prefer a monitor that uses their GPU to its full extent as well.
Everyone says that you can't tell the difference with DSC so what's the big deal with needing DP 2.1? It's not like a firmware is going to push the refresh rate further and make you need the extra bandwidth
itis stupid small size for 4K.240hrz is first step for optimal aiming in 4K.how long time big format 4k 240hrz.3yerds? size 50´´ 60´´ 70´´ g-sync 240hrz
DP2.1 is the make or break for me. My main rig is an AMD 7800x3d with AMD 7900xtx. My 4090 is reserved for my AI PC.... Curved vs flat isn't a big deal. I prefer curved because its more immersive for me. I dont eye spot enemies in fps games, I look around with my crosshair. An old trick learned from actual military people. When the military does searches, their gun is always pointed where they are looking. I play fps games the same way. So curved feels better. Flat is better for RTS gamers because you can dark around eye wise. Gigabyte and HP confirmed DP2.1 on their 4k240hz QD-OLED models.... I hope that they also have DP2.1 on their 1440p360hz QD-OLED monitors.... That would be a win for me. And yes, I know supposedly that the 7900xtx is limited UHBR13.5 which means 54 Gbps bandwidth not the full 80 Gbps... 1440p360hz with 10 bit color fits inside that 54 Gbps bandwidth. Easily in fact (room to spare). So it would be win/win for me. Also, 1440p480hz with 8bit color would fit inside that bandwidth as well. So whichever brand has DP2.1 and the highest refresh rate at 1440p will get my sale.... Eve/Dough is the worst company ever. Lmao.
I thought the Dough spectrum would have the option of glossy for WOLED but he says otherwise, I hope he's wrong cause I'm waiting for its improved text clarity in the 4k panels...
So, for a 1.8 x 0.8m table. A dual beast 32 4k monitor should be 1 Woled+ 1 QD OLED = HP Omen 32 + ASUS PG32UCDP Gloosy+Matt, Dolby Vision + 1300 nit, DP 2.1+ 140w Is that the final solution for 2024? Although We want SAMSUNG +LG , but HP and ASUS 's models are amazing!
Even if it was glossy I wouldn't buy it a monitor something you have for many years and we r pretty much close to the limit of DP 1.4 so having it In 2024 is just bad yes you can use tools to help it a bit but it's same thing as dlss yes you get better fps but worsen image quality so native is better similar thing goes here so it's not future proof at all since most likely 50 series will use DP 2.1
Can't really futureproof something when the limit of the hardware on the monitor is already reached (4k, 240hz). This is just fomo on new tech and illogical
@@Narwhalicorn0204 I'm not taking about fps here okay I'll try to explain so you understand display port bandwidth is about 25.92 gigabits per second and display port 2.0 is 77.4 bandwidth the higher resolution you r at the more bandwidth you need and it's a limit to how much the tools can help to reduce the bandwidth limit required for each game this only matters in 4k ress or higher
Bro how you say 32 is not big enough for curved if the bottom left and right corners look like they are literally facing away from you on a 32… because they literally are not facing towards you like it does on a curved 🤦♂️ anytning over 27 needs to be curved … period
The lack of KVM switch and charging is one thing, but I already have a monitor that can do that and never use it. I have a Neo G8 4k 240hz miniled and it has flickering issues, if the alienware doesnt have any of those QC problems I might have to hand this one off to a friend...
The manufacturers claim so much but all they want is your dollars. The WOLEDS may last longer because of the white pixel. These newer OLEDS may not last at all hence the burn in warranties being offered as a selling point but the pixels have to work harder to produce white. Also, consider going dual monitor with an IPS or something to preserve the OLED. I only game on mine as use the second monitor for everything else. I have my colourful background on the IPS and a black background on my OLED.
So cheating is being normalized now? I guess msi doesn't want my money. There's no way I'd give an unethical company like that any of it. Also weird how you didn't even mention the most important factor - BFI. Asus has it, none of the rest do. I know which one I'm buying then.
Ok, thats what i cannot understand is - why the heck you need 4K 240Hz monitor when the most expensive GPU in the world at the moment just cannot drive any game in 4K resolution with more than around 100 -120Hz at good settings. So, to have 240Hz monitor when you cannot achieve 240 FPS at native 4K resolution isnt pretty stupid? I have ASUS ROG 4090 MATRIX and a 144Hz monitor, im playing in native 4K and i know what FPS is it there, and absolutely no chance to achieve like 240FPS Why noone talking about that?
what games do you play? Not all games are the latest or are that demanding. Plenty of competitive games can hit close to 240hz. You also say "no chance" like you can turn things down to medium/disable shadows etc for massive FPS gains in COD.
@@irishpanda9688yes dude, but so much money for a GPU and in the end to play in medium settings is kind of stupid. I want to get all max from the game graphics, thats why i spending so much money for 4K monitor and GPU. If i want some mid range graphics experience im gonna switch to 1440p. But in 4K with game without DLSS 3, frames are not more than 130 in the best case. There is no game (except a very very few of them) where 4090 can do not 240frames, but even 180 frames
Funny how people always make the mistake, and then feel so strongly, that a high refresh rate monitor is a waste if you can't match it FPS wise. Higher refresh rate than FPS = lower input lag Higher FPS than max refresh rate = lower input lag

I got the alienware aw3225qf QD Oled no fan noise 240hz a game changer for sure
How Long is your gaming sessions?
3-4 hours a day
@jasoncopemann587 i do more than that and fan noise would annoy tf outta me. I don't like the monitor being curved though. Right now, I've got the gigabyte, hp n rog(depends on dp spec) on my mind and in that order.
@@sspringss2727 MSI have a good one coming too with DP2.1 and other features as well as NO fan :)
Rtx 4080 is enough for a 32” 4k?
In most games you won't be getting close to 240hz but yeah you can run it. Maybe 90-140hz high/medium settings
Allready bought a 4080 (nonsuper) few weeks ago and waiting this monitor to buy. Should i’ve gone for a 4090? I play fps games 90% of the time.
awesome review
Hp Omen now confirmed NOT to be 80Gbps sadly
the HP Omen Transcend 32 and apparently the MEG 321URX are the only ones advertised as packing both DP 2.1 and HDMI 2.1. I'm ogling the Omen for the Dolby Vision support too.
Sadly the FO32U2 has HDMI 2.1 and the FO32U2P sacrifices it for DP 2.1, but that's the only one claiming 80Gbps far.
I believe the AW3225QF does have a fan - I can very faintly feel air coming from it - but it's 100.0% inaudible even through Dolby Vision scenes and 95% brightness in SDR. Maybe it's just not hot enough here to stress it.
OMEN or arous, will get whatever releases first dp 2.1 for future proofing is what made me cancel my alienware monitor.
Yeah I almost bought it too. While my 4090 doesn't use DP 2.1, the next generation surely will. I really liked the Alienware too, the lack of a updated port for the upcoming generation of GPUs is a deal breaker. AMD XTX users probably prefer a monitor that uses their GPU to its full extent as well.
I debated, but honestly i wont be gaming over 4k/ 240 anyways any time soon as i dont want to upgrade the 4090 for a while@@Mcnooblet
Everyone says that you can't tell the difference with DSC so what's the big deal with needing DP 2.1? It's not like a firmware is going to push the refresh rate further and make you need the extra bandwidth
The benefits of having DP 2.1 with UHBR20 are nebulous, I'm not sure what kind of improvement people are expecting with it.
thats my thought too, like its still pushing 4k 240hz. which is what the monitor does. So who cares really@@Solus793
itis stupid small size for 4K.240hrz is first step for optimal aiming in 4K.how long time big format 4k 240hrz.3yerds? size 50´´ 60´´ 70´´ g-sync 240hrz
DP2.1 is the make or break for me. My main rig is an AMD 7800x3d with AMD 7900xtx. My 4090 is reserved for my AI PC....
Curved vs flat isn't a big deal. I prefer curved because its more immersive for me. I dont eye spot enemies in fps games, I look around with my crosshair. An old trick learned from actual military people. When the military does searches, their gun is always pointed where they are looking. I play fps games the same way. So curved feels better. Flat is better for RTS gamers because you can dark around eye wise.
Gigabyte and HP confirmed DP2.1 on their 4k240hz QD-OLED models.... I hope that they also have DP2.1 on their 1440p360hz QD-OLED monitors.... That would be a win for me.
And yes, I know supposedly that the 7900xtx is limited UHBR13.5 which means 54 Gbps bandwidth not the full 80 Gbps... 1440p360hz with 10 bit color fits inside that 54 Gbps bandwidth. Easily in fact (room to spare). So it would be win/win for me. Also, 1440p480hz with 8bit color would fit inside that bandwidth as well. So whichever brand has DP2.1 and the highest refresh rate at 1440p will get my sale....
Eve/Dough is the worst company ever. Lmao.
I doubt a monitor is louder than a pc trying to cool a 13900k lol
Not to mention most of us play games with "sound" i dont play my games in complete silence any fan noise is 1110% drowned out
Can’t wait for LG to bring out the new monitor.
Hopefully they release it sooner rather than later!
No glossy WOLED 🤬
The dough spectrum black is 32 4K 240hz DP 2.1, Woled and option to switch for 1080p 480hz because his got lg panels, plus it’s glossy !
I thought the Dough spectrum would have the option of glossy for WOLED but he says otherwise, I hope he's wrong cause I'm waiting for its improved text clarity in the 4k panels...
@@benassou1986It also is a scam
@@benassou1986Dough is not a trustworthy company. You’re likely to never see your monitor or a refund if you decide to pursue it.
I had a Alienware DWF with a squeaky fan in it and it was the worst. I won't be getting another monitor with a fan in it.
So, for a 1.8 x 0.8m table.
A dual beast 32 4k monitor should be
1 Woled+ 1 QD OLED = HP Omen 32 + ASUS PG32UCDP
Gloosy+Matt, Dolby Vision + 1300 nit, DP 2.1+ 140w
Is that the final solution for 2024?
Although We want SAMSUNG +LG , but HP and ASUS 's models are amazing!
The monitor is slightly curved you actually dont notice i had a flat-screen monitor before this one and that asus is gonna run you about 1500
Even if it was glossy I wouldn't buy it a monitor something you have for many years and we r pretty much close to the limit of DP 1.4 so having it In 2024 is just bad yes you can use tools to help it a bit but it's same thing as dlss yes you get better fps but worsen image quality so native is better similar thing goes here so it's not future proof at all since most likely 50 series will use DP 2.1
Can't really futureproof something when the limit of the hardware on the monitor is already reached (4k, 240hz). This is just fomo on new tech and illogical
@@Narwhalicorn0204 I'm not taking about fps here okay I'll try to explain so you understand display port bandwidth is about 25.92 gigabits per second and display port 2.0 is 77.4 bandwidth the higher resolution you r at the more bandwidth you need and it's a limit to how much the tools can help to reduce the bandwidth limit required for each game this only matters in 4k ress or higher
@@Narwhalicorn0204 plus display port 1.4 is outdated tech it came out in 2016 and display port 2.0 came out in 2019
Probably going with the Alienware. I'm a big fan of curved screens. I would love to see a curved 4k 34-39 inch QD-OLED with 240 hz.
YES！
34 is the sweet spot
I wonder if any of the others will have better brightness than the Alienware. Sub-500 nits in a 10% window is a joke.
I am waiting for the HP OMEN. Never Give money to Dough. Ever.
Bro how you say 32 is not big enough for curved if the bottom left and right corners look like they are literally facing away from you on a 32… because they literally are not facing towards you like it does on a curved 🤦♂️ anytning over 27 needs to be curved … period
Im happy with my alienware far. I actually like the slight curve and dont understand whats so polarizing about it
The lack of KVM switch and charging is one thing, but I already have a monitor that can do that and never use it. I have a Neo G8 4k 240hz miniled and it has flickering issues, if the alienware doesnt have any of those QC problems I might have to hand this one off to a friend...
It’s my first curved display and I immediately liked how the sides feel equally close to my FOV. It’s a subtle effect, but I now prefer it.
I refuse to accept there is no market for 1080p 24 inch OLEDs
🤣🤣🤣
You really dislike curved monitors 😢
The manufacturers claim so much but all they want is your dollars. The WOLEDS may last longer because of the white pixel. These newer OLEDS may not last at all hence the burn in warranties being offered as a selling point but the pixels have to work harder to produce white.
Also, consider going dual monitor with an IPS or something to preserve the OLED. I only game on mine as use the second monitor for everything else. I have my colourful background on the IPS and a black background on my OLED.
8K monitors ????? 8k monitor is 1 and stupid 60hrz.where is progres????
Who don't have a monitor at the moment, better buy first gen QD-OLED at half price, don't believe all stories about new qd oled
So cheating is being normalized now? I guess msi doesn't want my money. There's no way I'd give an unethical company like that any of it. Also weird how you didn't even mention the most important factor - BFI. Asus has it, none of the rest do. I know which one I'm buying then.
After you buy a 4090 to drive It.
im going to find his address and and mail a cpu fan.
Ok, thats what i cannot understand is - why the heck you need 4K 240Hz monitor when the most expensive GPU in the world at the moment just cannot drive any game in 4K resolution with more than around 100 -120Hz at good settings. So, to have 240Hz monitor when you cannot achieve 240 FPS at native 4K resolution isnt pretty stupid?
I have ASUS ROG 4090 MATRIX and a 144Hz monitor, im playing in native 4K and i know what FPS is it there, and absolutely no chance to achieve like 240FPS
Why noone talking about that?
I think it's obvious.. future proofing. Some people don't have the disposable income to buy a new monitor every year.
what games do you play? Not all games are the latest or are that demanding. Plenty of competitive games can hit close to 240hz. You also say "no chance" like you can turn things down to medium/disable shadows etc for massive FPS gains in COD.
@@irishpanda9688yes dude, but so much money for a GPU and in the end to play in medium settings is kind of stupid. I want to get all max from the game graphics, thats why i spending so much money for 4K monitor and GPU.
If i want some mid range graphics experience im gonna switch to 1440p.
But in 4K with game without DLSS 3, frames are not more than 130 in the best case.
There is no game (except a very very few of them) where 4090 can do not 240frames, but even 180 frames
Funny how people always make the mistake, and then feel so strongly, that a high refresh rate monitor is a waste if you can't match it FPS wise.
Higher refresh rate than FPS = lower input lag
Higher FPS than max refresh rate = lower input lag
W video
how is this video so outdated lol people already have the alienware, it DOES have configurable fans
I’m not even convinced they’re running. They haven’t been audible once to me.
