    Are there even any other alternatives for a legit HDR monitor besides the LG C1 and the Gigabyte one? I've been eyeing a proper HDR monitor for awhile now, but most are just either too big or more expensive than the Alienware one.

    • [Deactivated] on 16/05/2022 - 15:46

      Not at this moment but Samsung are supposed to be launching their version of this monitor soon(although they've been saying this for months now). Doesn't have a gsync module so should eliminate one of the common complaints with this monitor, fan noise.

      Aside from that yeah the FO48U which was available for sub $1.1k recently and the 48" C1 & 42" C2 are your only options really.

      • botchie on 16/05/2022 - 16:19

        yeah being on AMD I dont need noisy gsync module, and Samsung will have the same panel if not better

        • Kotchi on 16/05/2022 - 17:13

          Question - for someone that works from home (so uses the monitor in a properly lit room, mainly excel / powerpoint) and casually games, would you still recommend this monitor? I have the option of it or the 38 inch alienware for the same price (1500) but am unsure which to buy.

          • pingMarky on 16/05/2022 - 17:21

            @Kotchi: The 34 would be my pick but I’m a more than casual gamer. The 38 isn’t perfect but the expensive 34 nearly is.

            • Kotchi on 16/05/2022 - 17:23

              @pingMarky: Makes sense! I think my largest reservation about it has been whether I would benefit more from the extra space provided by the 38 as I'd be using it as my sole monitor for work, and whether I'd even benefit from the perks of QDLED when the games I play aren't necessarily AAA titles. Waiting on PC Centric's review to come out - he's been using the 38 for the past year so will have a good comparison.

              • chew_chew on 16/05/2022 - 17:47

                @Kotchi: I have been using the aw3821dw since Jan 2021 and before that i had the aw3420dw.

                My main use is wfh with a bit of casual gaming. I cannot imagine going back to 34 for qd oled. I really enjoy the larger size and vertical space of the 38 for work.

                If they have a 38 or even 40 I'd be keen to upgrade.

                • wintermadness on 16/05/2022 - 20:39

                  @chew_chew: Same boat! Would love a 38" oled - which I believe is rumoured to be in the works. Think I'll wait for them to flesh out any issues with that model.

                  34" to 38" really was a huge difference. I love the usability.

                  …but I really I want an oled!

            +1

            @Kotchi: 38" every day of the week if your primary use is work with gaming on the side. If primary use is gaming then go for the 34".

            edit: The 38" has been sub $1500 before though, so not a great price atm.

          • Arcticfox on 22/05/2022 - 12:36

            @Kotchi: The AW3423DW all the way.

            People with the 38 are guessing they could never go back… but… they have never used the AW3423DW and are only guessing. Once you use it, you could not go back to the lesser quality image of the bigger screen. That is my experience after using both. The AW3423DW is an amazing moniter, the picture quality is superb with amazing blacks. For $1500~ it is a no brainer (which is why I grabbed one when it was $1496.00 from first deal).

            I would say get the AW3423DW but don't bother with the old 38.
            If you really want a 38 with the same tech as the AW3423DW, then wait. But still don't waste money on the old 38 version.

    Had this since the first deal. Absolutely mind blowing monitor, even considering I had a great monitor before this (Acer Predator X34P). Keep in mind that there's definitely a few gotchas to be aware of with it though.

    • My monitor has developed a "bubble" under the anti-glare coating. Assume it's due to moisture being trapped under there when it was applied then turning into gas after extended use/heat. This has been reported by others on reddit too. Haven't gone to the trouble of RMA yet because it's only visible on pure black scenes.
    • Non-standard sub-pixel pattern produces some colour fringing on high contrast, small text. This is mostly fine after a week or so of use and some ClearType tuning.
    • Due to it still being an OLED monitor, it performs pixel shifting every 10-15 minutes. This isn't noticeable when gaming at all, but it's a little jarring in normal desktop usage.
    • Has two active fans in it for cooling which are basically always on, and always audible (not a huge issue if you use headphones, just annoying).
    • 175hz is only available in 8-bit colour mode due to DP1.4/HDMI2.0. If you want to use 10-bit colour, you're limited to 144hz.
    • Windows is still terrible at SDR to HDR colour mapping (yes, both Windows 10 and Windows 11). You will need to enable HDR for any specific apps that you want to use HDR for. PRO TIP: Win + Alt + B is the toggle HDR shortcut in Windows if you have GameBar enabled. Alternatively, grab AutoActions to automate it on a per-app basis.
    • Every now and then it will turn off rather than go into standby when there's no signal meaning you need to press the power button to turn it back on.

    Aside from these small issues, I have been adoring every moment that I get to use this monitor. Went back to my pile of shame and finished Jedi Fallen Order, Doom Eternal, Deathloop, Guardians of the Galaxy on it. All incredible experiences due to the contrast and HDR support. Highly, highly recommended.

    • Kotchi on 17/05/2022 - 09:17
      +1

      Would you consider the fans noise annoying enough to look at a different monitor if you were using it primarily as a work -from-home monitor from 9-5 without headphones (and using it secondly as a gaming monitor in your spare time)?

      • trankillity on 18/05/2022 - 08:55

        No. The fan noise is less than a running laptop, and less than most running desktops. I have just specifically built my PC to be entirely silent in normal desktop usage through GPU deshrouding, high quality fans, and 3D printed fan ducts.

      This monitor is not for consoles anyway, which is the main reason anyone would need that on the monitor.

  • Kurohayabusa on 21/05/2022 - 00:03

    I've been using this for the 6 weeks (and yes paid a lot more than this deal but at least received it in a reasonable timeframe). No other OLEDs to compare it to other than a phone but it certainly blows my old IPS out of the water.

    Some cons:
    - Text clarity/fringing is noticeable if you're looking for it (About as annoying as having a smudge on your glasses)
    - SDR brightness is not great. In a well-lit room I find I need at least 80% brightness to be comfortable to use. If there's even a ray of sunlight in the room, max brightness.
    - There's a somewhat rattly cooling fan which occasionally kicks in, inaudible if you have quiet background music playing. Unfortunately it keeps running for several minutes even if you turn off the screen, so can be annoying if you're sensitive to noise and trying to get some sleep.
    - Big Chungus stand and curved screen means it takes up a ridiculous amount of desk real estate (in particular the depth of ~30cm)
    - Glossy finish looks nice but shows reflections, including a distracting wide putin version of yourself
    - My wallet hurts.

    If you mostly intend to use the monitor for text based work and are sensitive to fringing you might be better off getting something with a standard subpixel layout like the 42" LG C2.

  • milobob on 31/05/2022 - 16:45

    Hmm sounds like not the best for documents/work so I might wait for a AW3821 deal instead! Hoping for <$1.5k soon!

    Only sucks as you need a monster to run this size.

    • chew_chew on 31/05/2022 - 18:38

      I have been using the AW3821 and its perfect for my WFH setup.
      The monitor is currently on sale on dell.com.au for $1,624.35. You can stack with EPP code 7% to bring it down to $1,510.65.
      Stack with AMEX 10% credit if you have one.

    Still live, just ordered yesterday. Awesome work, saved $135.64 over current discounted price, or $595.44 below standard retail. also got an extra $25.55 cashback and while the website says "usually ships within two months" the order processing has the ETA at 11 days from now.

    Not bad for what many people are saying is the absolute best 34" on the market and potentially the current best gaming monitor for the money overall. Thanks heaps for the deal!
