There are Text Clarity issues like on Windows PCs due to the unique subpixel layout, and you can see two additional text clarity photos on macOS with the Dell Alienware AW3423DW here and here. It uses a QD-OLED panel that results in much better picture quality, particularly for dark room gaming, as it displays deeper blacks without any blooming. While some small highlights are around 1,000 cd/m², the overall real scene peak brightness is worse than the Dell Alienware AW3423DW.

I’m an Analyst and ISF-certified TV calibrator focused on reviewing computer accessories, laptops, gaming monitors, and video games. Customizable AlienFX lighting on the logo and screen size number on the back of the monitor enhances gaming ambiance. Watching youtube videos etc can sometimes mean letterbox style bars on the sides but that doesn'y bother me however there are extensions to crop and extend videos if you can't deal with the bars. In terms of picture quality, the Samsung monitor uses Mini LED backlighting that lets it get much brighter, and the Dell is better for dark rooms thanks to its near-infinite contrast ratio.The design of the AW3423DWF, distinguished by a smart, solid plastic construction and sturdy stand, ensures shake mitigation.

Panel refresh i've never done it's apparently only needed every 1500hours and takes around 45 minutes or more at wich time the power button flashes red.

They use the same QD-OLED panel type, so the picture quality is nearly the same between each, except that the AW3423DWF doesn't get as bright in HDR. The ultrawide screen has the same height as a 27-inch monitor, but it has a wider screen horizontally.As for the AW3423DWF, enabling ClearType doesn't have an impact on the text clarity, and text looks the same in Windows 11 as you can see with ClearType on here and off here.

You shouldn't encounter this in normal useage, given the number of safeguards in place, but if you keep the same application on-screen for mutiple hours every day then this becomes more likely, making an IPS panel a better choice given its also-good colour reproduction and lower burn-in risk. Lastly, it's fantastic for gaming as it has a near-instantaneous response time, low input lag, and variable refresh rate (VRR) support to reduce screen tearing. If issue is covered by warranty and not resolved remotely, technician or part will be dispatched, usually within 1-2 business days following completion of remote diagnosis. We've added a comparison to the recently reviewed Samsung Odyssey OLED G8/G85SB S34BG85, which has a better maximum Refresh Rate across all inputs. Night Vision: Helps increase visibility by improving both clarity and contrast during dark scenes in games.However, because of the sample-and-hold method that OLEDs use, there's still a bit of persistence blur. The pixel response on an OLED can make a panel feel faster than it is on paper compared to an LCD panel. Not had time to game due but will test it in an SDR game and HDR game with both the True Black and 1000 HDR settings and update this with my findings. We uploaded the initial brightness measurements and uniformity photos for the Accelerated Longevity Test.
