It's around 110w if I have all 3 monitors connected (4k 120hz tv, 3440x1440 175hz primary, 2560x1440 60hz secondary). If i disconnect either of the bigger displays it drops to 20-30w Coil whine only really happens above 300fps, like when a game's menu doesn't have a limit

Just hit a year of mixed WFH and gaming with this monitor. No signs of image retention which is good but I've been pretty careful so it would have been pretty disappointing if there was any. Aside from the dumb self power off issue it's been great and I doubt I will upgrade until high refresh...

I don't know if there's any science to support it but about 15 years ago I heard a bias light will help prevent eye strain. I have been using them ever since, primarily because they improve perceived contrast levels, but I've never had any eye strain issues including the HDR era where both my TV...

I've been using one of these daily since March, probably averaging 5 hours a day between WFH and personal use. Still not able to hear the fan unless I put my ear 10" away with all other noise generating devices in the room turned off.

I bought one of these from microcenter yesterday and spent the evening fiddling with it and upgrading it to W11. At some point I noticed it was making a faint sound periodically, which turns out to be the Device Disconnected system sound at an interval of exactly 10 seconds. It seems to be...

I've used f.lux forever to make the image less harsh when computering late at night. Would this cause uneven aging of the subpixels?

After almost two months the only thing that really annoys me is when it shuts itself off after the pixel refresh cycle I wish it would just stay in standby where I leave it

I prefer this alienware to my 77" LG C1 for all gaming purposes 21:9 and incrementally higher refresh are worth the lower res and weird subpixel layout to me. Next upgrade will probably be a 5120x2160 ultrawide in a few years

I don't recall any details but back when I originally watched that LTT video my takeaway was that great players are great no matter what, and mediocre players are helped out by better equipment. And that's why I have this monitor and an expensive mouse

What percent of those 700 million people are playing on a cell phone (which probably has better HDR support than most PCs)? 70? I said most PC gamers don't play competitively. BRs being popular kind of supports that claim, actually. A lot of the sweatier gamers avoid BRs because of the RNG...

I bet more gamers would care about HDR than single digit millisecond differences in input lag, especially after experiencing in person what good HDR can add to the experience of playing a game. Double especially on a console port like Warzone where the TTK is like a minute and a half The vast...

It seems like the coating is very delicate in general. I have some of the marks like in your video but I'm more bothered by the light scratches I now see (pointing a flashlight at the screen) after wiping the screen with a brand new microfiber cloth. Neither are remotely visible in normal use...

I can tell a difference between 175fps and 144fps on this monitor in artificial scenarios like the UFO blur test, but I doubt if I'd reliably be able to tell the difference in an actual game. I think the sweet spot is 100 to 140 and anything above that is not super necessary, but I don't mind...

Man, you must be right about this monitor being crap. I'm reading your posts on it and I can't see any signs whatsoever of you having dignity

what, people have been talking about that for weeks lol
