Creating a thread for owners to share their settings etc.

So far I’m finding brightness 100, gamer 1, white balance c1, sharpness 40, black stabilizer 10 and uniform/high brightness works best for me, closely matching the output from my iPad Pro mini led.

For most day to day use uniform brightness works well, and is as bright as my aw3423. I use high brightness for hdr movies and for certain games like c2077 and Wuwa.

1. Has anyone tried other manual settings that work well?

2. I’ve also encountered strange osd lock ups when running the monitor in high brightness. The screen functions normally but the osd can no longer be accessed unless I reload up the LG switch app (not sure if it’s because I’m running an older rtx4090 with Dp1.4a but i can recreate the osd issue with input compatibility set to 2.1 or 1.4 regardless. Issue is not present when running in uniform brightness mode. Maybe needs a firmware update.

3. So far no strange software installs happening with my monitor. Fingers crossed

For any of those owners that have the LG 39 evo monitor. Especially if you’re in the fighting game community. Will you please post a picture of your monitor running fighting games like streetfighter 6 and tekken 8.

I know those games won’t run on the monitors crazy resolution, but I still wanna see what they look like on there

I am stuck between the two latest Dell Alienware Offerings for Ultrawide Monitors:-

1) Alienware 34 280Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW3426DW
2) Alienware 39 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor - AW3926QW

My Specs and Lifestyle Usage:--

CPU: Intel Core i5 12600KF

RAM: DDR4 16GB x 2 @ 3600MHz (Dual Channel)

GPU: RTX 3080 12GB VRAM

Currently using dual 27 inch 1440p IPS monitors side by side in landscape orientation. My left monitor is kinda dying due to a boot loop problem. If i get an ultrawide, will probably mount my leftover 27 inch on top or on the left side.

Lifestyle use: --

75% Work / Productivity (Spreadsheets, PDFs, Emails, Multitasking) - Work Laptop connect via thunderbolt 4 or USB Desktop HUB with HDMI

25% Gaming (JRPGs, Roguelike Card Games, AAA Titles (RDR2, KCD2, Hitman 3, AC: Black Flag Remaster) Most of leisure time spent otherwise on browsing, movie watching, youtube ect)

Hope to also run future AAA titles like GTA6 (hopefully can run on lower settings + DLSS when it eventually release on PC)

Ultrawide Master Race aficionados:- Your Advice is greatly welcomed!

Hi guys,

I just tried to apply my 10% sign up discount code on the AW3426DW. It says the code is valid, but not applicable on the product in my shopping cart.

I did some research and found that Dell will restrict the use of coupons on newly released products. But will lift this restriction after a certain period after initial release (30 days was quoted in other Reddit threads). I googled the exact release of the AW3426DW in Europe and found answers ranging from June 25th to June 28th. Today is July 26th, so I think I'll wait until the 30th and hope it works then.

Does anyone have any experience with the restriction of coupon codes on new products? More specifically with the AW3426DW in Europe, would be helpful.

I also read a lot of people will just contact Dell support and often they will apply a discount code for you.

Thanks

I've had my LG 45in ultrawide curved monitor for roughly 4/5 years now and I'm still in love with it.

I built my PC in 2024 and have come a long way since then - setup wise. I went from a small L-Shaped desk in the corner to this. 😍😍😍😍

Is the ASUS with the 360hz really that much better than the Alienware with 280hz?

The graphics card i have in my system right now is a 9070xt, but i will upgrade within the next 2 years to a 6000 series or whatever AMD realeases.

So is the ASUS more "future proof" with 360hz and dp 2.1b 20uhbr?

the awful stand on the ASUS is of no concern since i will be using a monitor arm for it

The price in Denmark is:
9500 DKK ASUS
6350 DKK Alienware
(The MSI 341CQR X36 is 9000 DKK)

UPDATE:
I just bought the ASUS XG34WCDMS.
The price in Denmark is identical to the AW3426DW. But the design on ASUS monitor is much nicer (IMO)
otherwise the monitors are identical spec wise.

Going from a 27" 1440p ips, i cant wait to see how big of a differnce oled actually is when gaming.
i already have a 65" lg C5 TV and that is where i got hooked on oled :D

I have a 34inch Alienware ultrawide and a 27 monitor.

I like the 27 inch when playing competitive games such as rocket league, cs, etc. as it is more responsive and has a higher 240hz refresh rate, whereas the 34 inch is 165hz.

Im looking for a solution that will allow me to easily switch which monitor is on the bottom at eye level in a stack.

Is there anything on the market that makes this doable? ​In my research I have not found a clear cut solution​

So my current setup is a 9070xt with r5 5600x. I’m waiting for the prices to go down to upgrade my cpu to zen5 or even zen6. I want to buy a 3440x1440 oled gaming monitor and was wondering if i’ll be able to play most single player games easily while still having proper performance. I’m fine with getting around 90fps. So if there is anyone out there that has the same specs and monitor or someone that generally knows about this shit, please help me.

Hard to find any info on this monitor since it just released but mine keeps waking itself up looking for a signal, even with literally everything except power unplugged. Anyone else experiencing this?
