The @AlienwareChannel AW3225QF OLED monitor has all of the specs I've been waiting for and it doesn't disappoint! That doesn't mean it doesn't have any downside or things to consider before purchasing and I'm hoping we get a firmware update down the road to fix the presets here. If you have any questions about this let me know in the comment section.

  • Hdr on pc is just as simple as on console if you are on windows 11. Just calibrate using the app and then toggle hdr on and off using win alt b. Also, there currently is no game that natively supports dolby vision. They all just run hdr10 in a dolby vision container. So they don't use the dynamic metadata. Gamingtech has covered this in the past.

  • Great review. It's been a great monitor for me and that's coming from using the LG c2 42" and Alienware AW3423DW- 34" uwd. As for the speakers, or lack there of, most gaming monitors don't have speakers. Typically, gamers use headphones or a soundbar. Monitors, if they do have speakers are usually not very good. This is my favorite monitor to date having 4k in that sweetspot. The only caveat for those looking to get this monitor for pc is to make sure you have a GPU that can drive at 4k. I have a 4090 which still doesn't get up to 240 on most AAA. It give gamers room to grow. As for PS5, it's amazing. No screen tearing.

  • Thanks for the super detailed review. I noticed a few people on reddit as well as rtings mention that the tone mapping is incorrectly done for games which don't support HDR. For those games, windows auto hdr is the only option & this monitor & windows only allow dolby vision which either clips the highlights after around 500 nits, or takes a 500 nit image & converts that to 1000 nits (raising the black levels of everything including the dark areas) Currently this is the only monitor available in India & I was contemplating whether to buy this as Nvidia & Dell are both mentioning that this is an issue with windows (if yes, then not sure if Microsoft would even care to fix this) The other option I have is a mini led display like the neo g7. What's your take on this? PS - I have a macbook pro 16 inch as a point of reference for HDR (which has incredible brightness due to the mini led panel type)

    @kitark06@kitark063 ай бұрын

  • Dolby Vision seems just like a hassle. So basically, if you have HDR enabled in the windows, it automatically enables dolby vision? And from the video at 13:15 it seems like its always going to do this annoying switching on and off every time you tab out and back in? Maybe someone can help me understand, but i dont follow with turning on HDR on the monitor and on windows. Especially for this instance, its just switching to dolby vision, which looks like something i'd rather avoid.

    @ryder7731@ryder77313 ай бұрын
    • That is correct. If a game has Dolby vision it won’t need to switch and by default if I can doesn’t specify or have HDR it’s run this on top of it from what I’ve found. So it’s forced HDR in non HDR supported games.

  • I have had this monitor for a week now and is going back. The Dolby Vision bug is killing me. Once you engage HDR in windows it turns on Dolby Vision. Some games change to either true black or hdr 1000 depending on what you set it but most games are sticking to Dolby Vision which they are not native Dolby Vision. It is leading to overblown whites. Games like Elden Ring and Lies of P are the only games I have downloaded that change from Dolby Vision to HDR1000 or true black when it loads the game. But most games like RE4 remake, MW3, Uncharted 4, LOU part 1 all stick with Dolby Vision when they are not native DV hdr.

  • I'm really interested in the 32-inch monitor reviewed in your video for both gaming and work. I've understood that this monitor does not support 1440p resolution on consoles, which I find quite absurd. Could you please check if this monitor supports gaming at 1440p resolution on consoles? I'm particularly looking to play Apex Legends at 120 fps and use 4k resolution for work tasks. I prefer not to game in 4k on the console due to the significant performance drop in fps games, especially in competitive play. It's crucial for me to have the 1440p functionality for gaming. Your feedback would be incredibly helpful for making my decision. Thank you so much!

  • One annoyance, the VESA mounts are WITHIN, or set down in the monitor casing. So for instance if its a mount that can fit multiple VESA layouts it will NOT fit. My old Alienware OLED 34" UW came with an adaptor to fix this. This one did not. Annoyed enough where I sent it back and will wait for another brand. Nor will they send you the adaptor.

  • Re: Waiting for an update to cleartype. I'm waiting for MS to completely disable cleartype and relegate it to the trash can of history. Even on best-case-scenario clean vertical stripe RGB subpixels, it always made a nice sharp fixed pixel LCD look like a misconverged CRT. And compounded with that, it doesn't work at all on triangular pixels like this monitor or RWBG (yes, G is not in the middle its at the edge) WOLED monitors, not to mention horizontal subpixels or any other case it can't account for. Subpixel rendering was a bad experiment that needs to be default-off and enabled only with a "you know this makes your monitor look bad, right" warning to turn it on, rather than the current system where I have to disable it via registry hacks because the cleartype tuner's "turn clear type off" option only covers about 40% of use cases, and even disabling it from the registry doesn't disable it in task manager and other system menus.

It is only supposed to trigger when Dolby Vision content is detected. AW3225QF has dynamic HDR in its EDID and a section for Dolby Vision specifically.
