This looks almost PERFECT on paper - a high refresh rate, color accurate, a 4K resolution, and a price tag that's lower than you may think. Plouffe is here to show off the new Alienware AW3225QF and why it may be the better option than the AW2725DF Linus talked about.

I was literally thinking this while watching. Ive always heard about the percentage gamut space but never had it explained

@BfoSHIZnats 4 месяца назад

They should. But for a brief explanation a larger gamut is like having a larger pool of colors. You can get more vivid "fluorescent" colors at the extremes. That's what the triangle is showing. For example a printer would have a triangle with a lot in the grey zone cause it's hard to print fluorescent colors with only a few ink colors, but it's easy for a bright monitor to display those. And then a higher bit depth means you have more granularity around all the colors to get smooth gradients. Basically exponentially more shades of colors.

Having eArc, 4K, and Dolby Vision is huge. This will be the ultimate small space (studio, dorm, room etc) monitor that can do it all. eArc means it’s easy to just plug in a soundbar and have “hifi surround sound” that just works, a bonus if the soundbar has extra HDMI inputs. Also, w/ how accurate and affordable QD-OLED is, I foresee most of the Pro Display market dead. Just placed my order.

One issue with HDR 1000 for desktop use is that it may suffer from ABL with larger bright windows being displayed. It's an issue with the AW3423DW(F), at least. If you bring a white/bright window to the foreground you can see ABL kick in, even if you're not displaying HDR content. HDR 400 True Black fixes the issue. HDR 1000 is good for games or full-screen video, but personally I just leave it in HDR 400 all the time to avoid blank screen intervals during mode switches. Also creator mode is an SDR profile, so you can't be in creator + HDR at the same time.

@gavinderulo12 4 месяца назад

But you lose that hdr punch on specular highlights during actually hdr content. And is the ABL as bad in the 16:9 ratio?

TV brightness will hold for a much larger portion of the screen, 1000 nit at 1% screen on this monitor is actually pretty terrible. For pure HDR content TVs are still ahead by quite a bit, due to being able to maintain higher brightness over a larger portion of the screen.

They should make this monitor in 5K 16:10 resolution, and then add dual-mode so you can switch 1600p (1440p but 16:10) with higher framerate. It would basically combine the best of both monitors.

@Wobble2007 4 месяца назад

My days that sounds good, I'm just waiting for a good 16:10 gaming OLED monitor to come out, not spotted one yet, 16:9 is not my cup of tea for gaming on, not enough vertical space for FPS/3rd-Person games, I also like to use emulators for older 4:3 games and those look much better on a 16:10 display.

@jp_8988 4 месяца назад

@@Wobble2007 Yeah I agree. 16:9 makes alot of sense for a TV, but for a monitor 16:10 is just better. And the 5K allows you to have dual mode to 1/4th resolution (nn interpolation) with higher frame rate. Would be perfect imho.

@@jp_8988 5K is a really good res for 16:10, of course I think 10,240x6400 would be the perfect 16:10 resolution, 5K is just over 10 megapixels, but 10K is over 64 megapixels and would give a really nice almost print quality 450 PPI, that is my ultimate 16:10 monitor resolution anyway lol, 16K is 134 megapixels by the way, 128 times 720p, man that would give unbelievable fidelity in a video game, you don't even need to drive it with a native resolution at that PPI level, you only need to give it a 2.5K to get a nice image, obviously the native resolution would be best, but that makes it future-proof.

I think my biggest holdup would be that the last time I tried a 32" 4K monitor, I thought that the resulting image at 100% was just a *TINY* bit too small in the desktop. I think I was only using 125% scaling in the end, but that little bit helped. To a degree, I'd rather just avoid scaling if I can, so I wonder if a 36" panel would get me to that sweet spot.

@@GirlOnAQuest I was a bit hesitant as I was going from a dual 27" setup to... something. I tried out the Alienware widescreen, the Samsung ultra widescreen, and just a 32" 4K from ASUS. Ultrawide ended up being a no-go due to some games not supporting it, and just not liking the idea that I could be stuck with black bars on the side due to a game not supporting wide or ultra-wide resolutions. The ASUS monitor was just awful in comparison to the other two that it wasn't even a contender. I ended up picking up an LG 42" C2, and while it's not perfect, it works well enough. (It was also on sale, which was nice compared to its more expensive monitor variant, the ASUS PG42UQ.) I do kind of miss distinct monitors at times, but I also like having the larger monitor in the center.

@meatbunftw 4 месяца назад

@@jasonhurdlow6607 Aspect Ratio is NOT irrelevant. It might not be the main factor, but it's not irrelevant at all. It is a combination of Size, Aspect Ratio, Viewing Distance, Radius of Curve, and Use Case that determines what is useful or not in a monitor. As a fellow owner of a 32" 16:9 curved monitor (Odyssey Neo G8), I can tell you that its usefulness is completely subjective. For gaming? Maybe, but other than that, I'd rather have an unskewed image for anything else, which is why I have a Flat 32"(INNOCN 32M2V) as my main and use the curved screen for gaming only. Even then, I still use the flat monitor for gaming most of the time. Just feels better to me. Besides, "The Best" is, and will always be, a matter of personal preference.
