Thanks for the feedback :) I'm definitely interested in a camera upgrade, for now I'm using my Brio 4k to record lol. In case you're wondering, I am using my Shure mv7 to record audio. I love the way it sounds but would like a more portable solution
I love my Aw3423DWF. I removed the anti glare film. It is now amazing so worth it. Glossy and no scratches, text is cleaner also. New firmware update also recently. The scratches drove me crazy that's why i removed the film. No more scratches and its glass and glossy.
If you don't use HDR and set it to 8 bit color, the highest refresh rate is 165Hz, right? What other rates are available in 8 bit color mode? 144Hz, 120Hz, 100Hz, 85Hz, 60Hz...? I specifically need 120Hz for smoothest MS Flight Simulator experience using TrackIR head tracking device. Is 120Hz selectable or can you make a custom resolution in Nvidia Control Panel?
@@Bit-Vik You tested this in SDR 8 bit? Another guy said 120Hz is selectable. Could you try again, and if 120Hz isn't a default option, please try and make a custom resolution and report if that worked.
Is the text really that blurry on these? Also is it fine for watching RU-vid and movies does it scale? Do you edit and maybe do programming on it? Thanks.
I do some editing but dont program on my main machine, editing looks great and Im sure this monitor will excel in productivity tasks. The text blurring isnt too serious but it can be easy to notice sometimes. Content that is uploaded with a higher aspect ratio will scale on this monitor, otherwise, with 16:9 content, there will be black bars on the left and right.
DLSS should make it manageable but I would probably recommend upgrading tbh. Here are some benchmarks: ru-vid.com/group/PLUJgpgwGYs0bPL8CWio4B8gcs99VfErau
and you really decide to buy the DWF Version over the DW? We both have a 4090, and even if that fan noise of the gsync module would go on my nerves.. i would pick the DW Version, cause it has that Gsync Module. I read somewhere the DWF could have flickering issue's due to be not officially supportet by nvidia.. maybe the last firmware update fixed it.. idk
Yup, no issues with vrr flickering on my end. I would personally recommend getting the dwf but just get whichever one is cheaper, since now both models support firmware updating. I also don't know if I'll continue to stick with Nvidia, so getting a monitor that supports vrr with both GPU vendors feels like I'm future-proofing better.
@Bit-Vik thank you for your quick reply.. I've picked the previous Monitor AW3420DW and I'm very satisfied. I will skip this OLED Generation of Monitors for my work&gaming needs
I was trying to decide between this or the lg ultrawide because it can do 240hz while the alienware only does 165hz. I know the Dell looks better and brighter just worried if I will miss 240hz. I have a 4080 super so I can drive 240fps in fortnite cod etc
Which lg one? If it's the 45" model I would say avoid it for now, the ppi is way too low imo. If it's the 34" version (same size as this monitor) go for it! 240hz would be awesome tho.
I got this monitor about a month and a half ago and was debating on getting the c3 42inch but went with the Alienware instead. Picture is amazing but the lack of 2.1 and HDMI passthrough arc and earc was giving me a bit of buyers remorse in terms of pairing it with my Atmos system, also ultrawide with ps5 was not the best. flash forward and I got a 65inch c3 for my living room and tested my PC on it. I no longer have any regrets. The ability for this monitor to handle motion, color accuracy, brightness, and the curved screen adds to gaming immersion more so than I thought it would, overall its an amazing monitor glad I have the best of both worlds in my office and in my living room/Movies on the C3 are really really great, but gaming is out of control on the monitor! The ps5 on the c3 is sweet too. As for the scratch...exchange it if you can that sucks. As for the text fringing I am not sensitive to it at all, so not an issue and I do a lot of writing in word
I agree with your sentiments. As someone who sticks to PC gaming the lack of HDMI 2.1 didn't bother me too much. That being said I have a C2 in my living room and the experience there is just so good too!
Ah thanks for pointing this out, you're right. Out of the box it *does* support 10-bit but limits the refresh rate to 100hz. The guide on Reddit shows how to enable it while retaining the full 165hz refresh rate.
Thank you for sharing your story. Yes the 4090 is over kill, but it is what it is. If you want the best, you get the 4090. I've been into Computers for years, and too many graphics cards I've had to even talk about. Please keep up your RU-vid journey. :)
Thank you for watching :) I'm very excited for the 5090, especially if it's a polylithic, dual-die monster that some rumors are suggesting. I have more videos planned so feel free to subscribe!
