My dude, if you name the video "1 year burn-in update", at least show us 5% gray and 50% gray for 5 seconds please :) It costs you nothing and it's literally the thing people clicking on this video want to see :)

I've got the same monitor also for over a year now. Still no issues with burnin (i don't even let my taskbar disappear). My screen can go to sleep after 5 minutes and often does a refresh then (at least, when it is time). I never was more satisfied with a monitor, than withe the AW3423DWF. I think it is a really great buy and most will enjoy gaming so much more.

@RobsCorner 6 месяцев назад

Ya I agree, been loving every minute of using the Oled, the fact that you can set the pixel refresh to automatically be done on standby is great too.

I've had mine replaced twice already within a year because of 16:9 content and the black bars the monitor displays due to the ultrawide format. If you put up a grey background, you will notice the middle of the screen being slightly lighter due to burn in. Certain games (like valorant) does not fill up the ultra wide and most videos also will not fill up the ultra wide. Dell's warranty has been relatively painless, but I don't want to replace my monitor every 6 months so I bought the 360hz OLED they have to replace the AW3423DWF as my main monitor.

@RobsCorner 2 месяца назад

Good to know I haven't played much 16:9 content on it,. If you primary purpose is competitive fps like val or csgo I understand the need to a 16:9 screen instead

Nice video. I've soent the past 2 weeks reluctantly researching IPS pannels becuse im worried about burn in. I use my monitor for work for around 8hrs a day with static UI on the screen from the likes of Photoshop, Figma, Davinci Resolve etc. I think longer productivity hours like this will likley give me burn in?

@RobsCorner 4 месяца назад

Thanks, it's hard to say, I haven't had any issues with it, I use DaVinci for my videos and don't see any burn in caused by it. If you are gonna get an ips monitor for those things make sure it's a monitor that is reviewed as having great color accuracy.

@FalconStrikeGames 5 месяцев назад

Any update with this monitor?

@Zaffobaffo 14 дней назад

@@FalconStrikeGames I have it since 3 weeks ago. For now I really can't find a problem. Motion clarity is almost like CRT (even bettter than a 480hz TN pannel that I've had). Colors are really good, 96% adobeRGB,93% of NTSC. I've also had the 27 inch qhd oled from AOC but the color fringing was terrible and HDR perfomance was very poor. This on the other hand is perfect even with dolby vision. maybe the only thing to point out, the screen is really gloosy and reflect lights. So in a bright room the black are almost purple\violet tinted. In a dark room is perfect. if u plan to use it in a bright room WOLED panels are really a must for pitch dark blacks.

@FalconStrikeGames 14 дней назад

@@Zaffobaffo thanks for an update. I actually opted for the 38" IPS panel instead of OLED.

Hello, I just got this monitor and I was curious how it works with gsync and hdr enabled. Do you experience any flicker and does it work well?

@RobsCorner 6 месяцев назад

Works well for me I keep the hdr setting to hdr 400 true black gave the best results, and have no issues with gsync enabled. Just remember which model you have the aw34dw has the gsync module built in the aw34dwf has freesync but is gsync compatible.

@Jake-0011 6 месяцев назад

@RobsCorner did you hear about the firmware update that fixes hdr 1000? I'm really happy to hear it works well with gsync! All my worries are settled and I can finally rest knowing I've got a good monitor in a few days( I got the F model) I'm returning an Asus Pg329q for this since I found it to be abysmal for the price tag. I managed to get this monitor for £750 which is a good price for this kind of hardware. Thank you for your speedy reply!

@RobsCorner 6 месяцев назад

I did the update but still find hdr 400 thenkkst consistent depending on the game or content I watch I will sometimes switch in between other hdr modes

Does anyone know if "premium panel exchange service" and "advanced exchange service " are both under the 3 year warranty? Coz i read that some countries might not cover burn in.😢

@RobsCorner 4 месяца назад

I would guess you'd have to check with the warranty in your country to see if it's covered. I think the advanced exchanged service is an extra cost that is added on top of the cost of the monitor if you want it

Oled is by far one of the best investment I made for my pc setup so far(I got the MSI 4k 240hz one, I also ran an older 27inch LG oled as secondary, which used to be my main 6 month ago). Does it have its annoyance, yeah, to prevent burn in I ran an all black desktop and I usually keep it around 60% brightness(which is bright enough for me). But I can live with this kind of small annoyance especially when the picture quality and motion clearity are this good.

far as I'm aware, unless it's a mini-led display with local dimming built-in there are no "zones". (Atleast for monitors)

@semmert 4 месяца назад

I have 2 computers hooked up to the same monitor. One is my work PC where I do CAD design, and the other is my gaming PC. My major concern is that my CAD program has a UI that doesn't really move around, and may cause burn in. But I really want an OLED monitor for PC gaming (I have 2 OLED tvs). Do you ever use a program where you have a UI that is static for upwards of 8 hours or so? Do you think this could cause issues, or would just require me to "Scrub" the pixels more often?

@RobsCorner 4 месяца назад

The most static UI I use would probably be DaVinci resolve, but maybe 4 hours of use at a time. Unfortunately I can't say for sure that having an 8 hour static ui on the screen will be ok or not but I believe if anything you might just have to do more pixel refreshes based on usage.

@propix 23 дня назад

How about Text readability? I see a lot of people complain that they are "unuseable" as the Samsung OLED Displays use triangular LEDs and this causes text to have a red and green outline. Has this beeen an issue for you or did you find its mainly people overreacting? (I am doing Webdesign and editing in PS, LR... mainly 8h a day).

@RobsCorner 23 дня назад

Ya I went through the difference and compared them in my Oled vs ips video you can see the difference too

Do you really think software like Wallpaper Engine are not recommended for a OLED Monitor even if you change the wallpaper after 0.5 or 1 hour?

@RobsCorner 4 месяца назад

I don't think it's going to damage it that much but, I don't see it helping the screen that being said I use wallpaper engine but most of the time the wallpapers are not static so the image keeps changing at least

@testAccount-eb2ve 2 месяца назад

i actually disagree with people saying that Wallpaper Engine is not recommended for OLED monitors. I believe that since you are able to have animated backgrounds, it reduces the static elements on the screen thus reducing the chance of burn in

@RobsCorner 2 месяца назад

@testAccount-eb2ve as long as it's not a static images your right

@testAccount-eb2ve 2 месяца назад

@@RobsCorner yep, I was referring to animated backgrounds. But even if you are not using Wallpaper Engine, then you are most likely using a static background anyways.

@RobsCorner 2 месяца назад

@testAccount-eb2ve ya and if you are using wallpaper engine you have a setting to pause the animation while your in another application to save resources to so no reason not to use it with an animated background with oled but if you want to be extra cautious with burn in then turn it off if anything

7:20 Yeah say it to people who bought 1080ti when it lunched and they will laugh in your face. I also bought LG B9 first OLED 120Hz HDR TV to have Gsync and HDMI 2.1 (year before any HDMI 2.1 source device). I have it since launch and almost 5 years later it's mindbogglingly good. Are there better screens out there ? Yes but they are not a lot better and I've been using pretty much as good as it gets gaming screen for a few years. To summarize you can win tech lottery if you know your way around tech and have a bit of luck. With OLED I knew that everything up to this point will be obsolete and other oled screens that will follow while better will still ultimately be limited by what oled can and can't do.

@RobsCorner 3 месяца назад

That's how technology works, it's not gonna be obsolete for a long time but 5 years in tech is a long time doesn't take away what your screen can do but there are new and better screen out there now. There is always minor improvements year over year before the major leap. just like now with screens there is less and less talk about TN panels eventually stuff get phased out over time. But your not going to change monitors every year just like your not going to change gpus every year.

@christinastein1196 3 месяца назад

@@RobsCorner That was my point. People who bought expensive HDR LCD monitors just before first viable OLED panels came into market lost big cause their panel lost most of it's value almost overnight while those who waited for first wave of OLED panels will reap benefits of this decision. Still those LCD HDR panel arent useless now but in hindsight they were a terrible buy. Not gonna lie I had a lot of luck picking all the right parts over the years. My worst mistake was choosing Intel over AMD when AM4 came out.

The upcoming MicroLED technology will be far superior to current OLED displays. MicroLED will have a much reduced chance of burn-in, considerably higher brightness, and a standard RGB striped pixel layout for good text clarity.

@RobsCorner 6 месяцев назад

Ita very possible, I think with what we've seen at ces past 2 years companies investing heavily in OLED might be a few years before micro LeD gets all the benefits at a good price, then something better may come along after that and you can wait for that too if your happy with your display now its worth waiting if you want to upgrade there is always an excuse to wait for the next technology
