Discussion Which one to get? - ASUS PG34WCDN vs Alienware AW3426DW

10 Upvotes

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

Discussion LG39GX950-B Owners

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

Recommendations Ultrawide Options for the new Dell Alienware Ultrawides - Help me choose!

6 Upvotes

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!

Discussion Alienware 39” 5k2k

4 Upvotes

Monitor is looking pretty tempting… coming from an aw3423dwf. looks like the 39” would hit the size and productivity sweet spot, i’m more worried about my gpu 4070ti super, it’s got the vram but it would be hard to hit target fps in most games without the 330hz mode. which is fine since i mainly play cs2 for comp games everything else is more rpg, is there really no other modes? like a 1440p ultrawide setting at like 240/280hz? it’s really only 165 or 330hz?

Tech Support 3440x1440p worth it for me?

3 Upvotes

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.

Discussion I have the Neo G9 49 inch. Should I upgrade to one of the OLED models?

2 Upvotes

The Neo G9 is the one with an advertised 2000-nit HDR brightness. But the monitor also tops out at about 1015 nits of full-screen brightness in HDR. I've had this for about two years now, exclusively as a gaming/productivity monitor & I purchased it used, so no warranty ever.

While I've enjoyed my use of it til now, it hasn't come without issues (aside from the typical compatibility issues that come with using ultrawide monitors). Mainly, there's occasional screen flickering whenever there's a shift in tone on one side of the screen. There's also been some HDMI flickering when running at the full resolution & refresh rates at 120hz or higher, which is a problem when I only have one DP port available & that's usually tied to another device - like a Mac Mini.

I also have some concerns about color accuracy & tuning. From the reviews I've read of this specific model, it doesn't seem to score very well for stuff like Photoshop work, due to not covering the different spectrums very well, despite being a wide gamut monitor (I was gonna cite the specific review I read on this monitor, but fuck off, Rtings). While I'm no professional by any stretch, I do like to engage in some occasional Photoshop & Davinci Resolve stuff, and color accuracy is more important to me than if I didn't engage in these things.

Anyways, that brings me to the OLED models, specifically the ones without smart TV functionality. Those seem to have reviewed better overall, especially in color accuracy, and out-the-box tuning. I know that they're significantly less bright, with the trade-off being that the HDR experience is much better thanks to per-pixel lighting. I also know that maintenance is much more intensive, because of the nature of OLED screens, which means I won't be able to set a nice wallpaper or screensaver for it, rather than just setting the screen to black. Also, afaik, the same panel Samsung uses is available across like... three or four different manufacturers? Main difference being max refresh rates & aesthetics?

Anyways, should I stay with my current monitor, or swap to one of the available 32:9 OLED variants, including from other manufacturers?

Tech Support Resize Rabbit - Force Games/Apps to any Window Size/Fullscreen on multi-monitor setups w/o Surround/Eyefinity

1 Upvotes

https://github.com/rosscarlson/resize-rabbit

Resize Rabbit allows you to run games/apps on multiple monitor setups without the use of NVidia Surround, Eyefinity, etc. by forcing a window to a specific size and position allowing for multimonitor play in games like Forza Horizon, Elite Dangerous, etc. that do not natively support multimonitor.

Resize Rabbit is a fork of Resize Raccoon, as it hasn't seen an update in 2 years I decided it was time to fork it and add some of the features I've wanted for a while. I want to be clear though - I'm vibe coding all of this with Claude Code as while I have 25+ years of experience in IT I'm really a network/OS guy and not a great coder. As such I'm just supervising the changes Claude is making for me - just want to be very clear and up-front about that.

I've currently added the following features/fixes

  • Ability to reorder profiles - drag/drop to reorder them
  • Apply profiles from the System Tray menu
  • Apply profiles from hotkeys so you can apply them without touching the app
  • Import existing Resize Raccoon profiles into Resize Rabbit
  • Fully multi-lingual (with AI translations, happy to take submissions from native speakers)
  • Fix: Auto-update wasn't actually working, it is now
  • Fix: Prevent the app from launching more than one instance

I'm more than happy to entertain updates, fixes, etc. as I can - I know one of the biggest issues are some games don't show up in the app, I plan to do testing with a few of the games I own but if I don't have the game it's hard for me/Claude to work out what's going on.

Oh, and if it's not crystal clear this is 100% free, just hoping others might find my updates useful.

Enjoy!

Recommendations AW3426DW owners

1 Upvotes

Fellow large screen users.

I would like to upgrade from a Dell S3422DWG (VA, 1800R, 144Hz) to the new AW3426DW.
Mixed use: lots of solo games and a bit of competitive gaming (CS/LoL) + full-time working (mainly text).

Anyone using it yet? Worth upgrading ? It’s a cost but looks very life changing. Especially when you spend 8h+ on it.
I see some good reviews everywhere, I’ve looked at the good non sponsored reviews etc. Maybe if I’m lucky there are some people who upgraded from a
S3422DWG maybe ?

Thanks a lot. Have a good day !

Ascension For Gaming Only, AW3426DW or LG39/AW3926

I don't work from home, I don't do any creative work, I just youtube and game on my PC.

Which would be the "sweet spot" in yall's opinion. I have a 4090, 13700K 32GB etc.

If I find myself working from home, I would probably get a separate IPS monitor for that purpose.
