Nice, so using ColorControl.

Apparently you can use https://github.com/Maassoft/ColorControl to enable the full service menu on C3/C4. It just added support for C4 a few days ago (https://github.com/Maassoft/ColorControl/releases/tag/v9.9.0.0). There's a post on avsforum about it...

Same experience for me in the few days I had my 240Hz Alienware. Every game I played was around ~120 FPS (with ultra settings/ray tracing where possible) so I was wondering what the point of downsizing from 120Hz 48" to 240Hz 32" was. I'm guessing this will change though with the 5090.

I agree, I really dislike the ASBL dimming. I've even turned it off on my C1 65" which I use as my main TV/media consumption device - it would trigger while watching movies and TV which was really annoying and noticeable. I read that C3 has an improved algorithm for ASBL. But it's kind of ham...

Maybe I'm crazy but I actually like my 48CX as productivity monitor. I use it probably 90% for productivity, 10% for games. I get up really close and use it like two portrait monitors, or center monitor for coding/web browser. What I don't like it for is keyboard & mouse gaming - I have never...

Well I gave up and I'm sticking with my 48CX for the time being (bought Alienware, scratches, returned, bought 42C4 but returned because of ABSL dimming can't be disabled, looked at my friends Neo G9 57" but PQ wasn't great). So I bought an ergotron HX and will make a small improvement to my...

Does anyone know if dimming/ABSL issues were fixed in C3/C4? I hear mixed reports that a firmware update mostly fixed it. There is a "workaround" that was posted on youtube, but it doesn't look practical (puts your screen in factory mode permanently, seems like a giant PITA).

Just got mine, manufacturing date Jan though so it doesn't have protective film on it - just bubble wrap against the raw screen. Screen is scuffed to hell with micro scratches and a row of micro smudges across the top. All permanent marks. Honestly what is Dell thinking with how they package...

Well I pulled the trigger on the Alienware as it's the only reasonably priced 32" 240hz OLED in the UK (930 after corporate discount vs 1300+ for everything else!). Let's see how the adjustment from 48"->32" goes :D. Planning to put the 48CX to the side on a separate desk purely for controller...

Planning to keep the CX, just want a smaller monitor primarily for productivity and FPS games. I think the 480Hz on the new LG 32" oled will also be pretty amazing for motion clarity on older games and I'm eager to try it out. Interesting about the BFI on CX - I never tried it much though, as...

Sorry should have specified I'm in the UK :). Where all the 240hz OLEDs are £1400 for some reason (except the Alienware, but I don't want a curved screen). 42" C3 is 800-900 here, and cheaper on sale which happens fairly often (700 or less).

Still using my 48CX daily with 0 burn in, this thing is amazing. I'm thinking of buying one of the new 240hz OLED gaming monitors though. I would like to downsize, the 48" remains at the edge of "slightly too large" for me and I'm doing more productivity work than gaming these days. But I wonder...

Yup I'm just going to wait until we get something significantly better at 42". Not worth the side grade right now. Still have 0 burn in and only like 3-4 dead pixels on the edges at about 6.5k hours so far.

Yeah that’s why I keep thinking 42” will feel like a downgrade, for immersive gaming at least. Been playing cyberpunk with a 4090 on it at max ray tracing settings and it’s glorious. It really is a great size for gaming and watching movies, at about 1m away. It’s my fave monitor of all time and...

Just ordered one of these, and wondering if the stock stand will be good enough. My only concern is it will be sitting pretty low - top of the panel will be slightly above eye level for me. Anyone w/ the stock stand happy with how low it sits? I know ergonomics theory is to have the top of a...
