I can confirm the edid values update properly when switching modes now just like the DW. A lot of people say the hdr calibration is not needed now but I still found it was clipping without it. I dunno if there is any point using source tone mapping anymore as it seems to behave the same for...

I dunno how anyone can stand that even in a lit room. 100 nits feels plenty bright even with the lights on or sunlight coming through the windows. In a dark room it’s excessively bright to me already to the point it makes my eyes burn and sting.

5% 100 nits all day and night. Anything higher is way too bright for me and I’ve always aimed for 100 on my displays and TVs.

Doesn’t look like the green blinking LED is fixed either when you disable the white LED. :( Nearly two months of no signal drops on the latest DP cable though!

Herman Miller Embody. It’s a step up from the old aeron but I still don’t last a full 8 hour day with a degenerative disc at L5-S1 even if I alternate sit and stand.

I’m just happy to conclude an RMA would be a waste of time as I really didn’t want to go there with an otherwise perfect unit well past 30 days. Still annoying though as I get sometimes in the middle of doing stuff but it’s pretty rare.

Another post about the dwf blanking when sitting/standing: https://reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/10npuge/alienware_dwf_flashing_black_when_standing_up/ I suspect I might have figured my issue out. When I route the cable along the frame it passes right next to the electric motor in...

Hmmm. I have hard wood and it’s relatively high humidity so it’s about the last thing I’d have expected but the oem cable was too short to route down the desk frame and leg. All the cables I’ve had the issue with are along the frame and I just checked the uplift desk’s plug and it has no ground...

https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware-Desktops/AW3423DW-randomly-turns-black/m-p/8332040/highlight/true#M66173 Looks like someone else brought up static electricity as the cause of their black screens. Makes me wonder if there is a grounding fault in the dw and dwf. lol

Shouldn’t this be non-issue if it’s all grounded? Hasn’t been a single instance since my last post making it all the more frustrating to narrow down when it takes so long.

I am running 144hz 10bit still. It’s interesting you mention 120hz 10bit because I was thinking about this earlier: https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/yvdlcb/aw3423dwf_refreshrate_explained/ Which would technically cap out at 121hz when you crunch the weird H and V active...

It’s funny you mention moving the chair. I asked some of the devs I work with if they seen this before and apparently since 2018 they’ve been tracking it with nvidia gpus across 10, 20, 30 and 40 series with gsync and freesync displays. Pointed me to their big ol slack threads about it. But one...

New cable started losing signal as well. :( I’m starting to think nvidia drivers might have bugs with freesync / gsync implementation. The dell thread for it on the dw has people rmaing 3-4 times before giving up and Reddit has about 3 years of posts for various displays both freesync and gsync...

Firmware update incoming January apparently: https://reddit.com/r/Monitors/comments/zwmx9z/alienware_oled_aw3423dwf_firmware_update_coming/

Blackout free with the included cable still so it looks like the monoprice dp80 cable is just junk. We just had our power go out during an ice storm and I noticed something interesting about the display. It screams like coil whine but at least ten fold worse when on battery backup power and I’m...
