Make sure you have a good mouse to make use of these high-refresh screens. Over the weekend I returned my 1+ year old Logitech G-Pro Mouse at Best Buy (Geek Squad Warranty) and put my credit towards the new Superlight. It wasn't instock and would arrive in 4 days (arrived today). During the...

Dang, I had to turn down the pick-up from UPS on the 1st monitor just now. I initiated the return online yesterday. But I haven't received any email with details on preparing the item for return, yet UPS already showed up to get it with a label. I could of quickly taped it up, but without...

I was glad to learn it wasn’t as bad as the less scientific test done in that one review. I think he was mostly saying he felt a difference between the other LG monitor he had. Checking RTINGs 38WN95c, that one had slightly better input lag over the AW...

RTINGS will have their AW review up in a few days as well. Currently it's in early access as it's being finished: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/alienware-aw3821dw#page-test-results

Here's some variable backlight testing, AW Mode 0, plus an example from the LG 38WN95c AW Difference between Top and Bottom Zones: At first glance, it looks like a full column of light, as if the top and bottom are are equally lighting up. Though, if the cursor is close to the edge, then it's...

Using the Eizo test, the gamma on my two AWs seemed to be about 2.3. I don't think I can judge the response test since that's hard to interpret. At fasted scroll, If I were to judge based on when the blurry edges just start to touch, but not bleed into each other, I was leaning towards a 25...

Here's some new comparisons photos between the two AW38s. I'll get that local dimming example up after this. Backlighting Viewing Distance (IPS GLOW) Display 1 - Less glow on left side, standard amount on right, if not maybe slightly more spread towards the left. Display 2 - IPS glow is feels...

That's the local dimming. On a black screen it dims each zone to near off, but a white cursor triggers the zones it is under. Modes will have different effects: Mode 0 - Dims to near black, when a zone lights up, the others will remain near black Mode 1 - Dims to near black, when a zone lights...

That sucks :( Did the box show any damage that would caused that crack? Hopefully you can still get some quick impressions of the screen to compare with your replacement.

I'll review some videos I took earlier of both the WN and AW and make a few gifs to see how they behaved. Curious to see even a picture if yours with the say a black screen and cursor at the top edge.

I'll also note both AW boxed had Nov 2020 dates on them.

Quick Update on LG 38WN95c vs AW HDR Black Crush? I ran the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark multiple times between these two screens. The experience was mostly the same, no major difference. I had to set the game brightness to full once HDR was turned on, same as on the AW. Considering the...

Initial Impressions of 2nd AW3821DW, glad I jumped on ordering it, appears to better in several ways. Color Temp: 2nd AW has a warmer and more pleasing color temp (I'd say closer to what I experienced on the LG WN. With the 2 AW screens side-by-side, same settings, you wouldn't think they were...

Awesome, always fun to get a new gadget just in time for the weekend.

Looks like mine is arriving a day early, Thursday. Shipped today with the next day shipping. Hopefully all the storms in my area don't cause problems.
