That sucks, can’t even rest now when you think you are done. Are you still able to order another card from Newegg if another drops in the next day? I saw a Reddit thread where after someone’s Newegg order was cancelled, they managed to get another card in their cart later on, but they were...

I was strictly considering the 4090 FE, due to the looks, the size, etc. Third party card designs were even less appealing than last gen, and no white options. Worse, they are usually $100-$400 more. Though, I ended up getting the Gigabyte 4090 Gaming OC from BB, due to how the FE launch went...

When my PC was off today I noticed a big shadow behind the two front lower fans where normally room light evenly shined through them.

Hey, has anything changed with the AW3423DW on Windows 10 when it comes to being turned off? Today, I noticed when it is turned off, Windows 10 still acts as if it is connected? Before, whenever it was shut off, Windows would move everything to my secondary monitor. Common for turning a...

You know, the weirdest thing, ever since this new card (unless it was the most recent driver or Windows update), Windows 10 is treating the Alienware AW3423DW as still connected even when off, connected via Displayport. If you don't have an AW3423DW OLED, every 4 hours of use it will do a...

The retail box doesn't have any dimensions on it. With this generational change, you'd think there would be a huge warning, other than the larger box.

For Corsair PSUs, I got my eye on this cable: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Accessories-%7C-Parts/PC-Components/Power-Supplies/600W-PCIe-5-0-12VHPWR-Type-4-PSU-Power-Cable/p/CP-8920284

Here's some updates I put together based on a lot of comments and requests from a reddit post: Glass Side Panel attached, photo from standard viewing angle: 2 Videos - Power Cable and Side-Panel Removal and Attaching: Attaching and Reattaching Power Cable, showing Attaching Side Panel...

Hopefully this helps anyone looking at the Gigabyte 4090 Gaming OC and how the Corsair 4000X / 4000D will handle it. First, take how big you think these cards are in photos, then make them 20% bigger when you see them in real life. Purchased from Best Buy around 6 AM on October 12. Pick-up was...

Yep, I once forgot I left G-Sync on for windowed apps and something glitched when I opened Modo, a 3D modeling program. The empty viewport with a very dark gray background looked like it was flickering. I then noticed it was hovering around 10fps once I started to move things, which I guess...

I have the LG 2016 C6, it has burn in, which has severally lowered my confidence of investing too much money into an OLED display if I feel it will just be defective within 4-5 years. The OLED C6 had such a great picture quality, to me it was a perfect TV, so it is sad to see it deteriorate when...

Plus, they put that large UI box saying DisplayPort input dead center of the screen so often, even worse when it covers up the countdown box confirming if the screen change worked.

I heard that this is a UI glitch, and it is still on HDR 1000. It’s been mentioned on Reddit posts that after a pixel refresh the bug happens. Found a post, check out the quirks section of this owners checklist post here...

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.

I was confused what Smart HDR was too, it's not any kind of unique HDR mode. Dell is over-complicating a basic functionality with an odd name. It just means the monitor recognized an HDR signal and switched to the correct settings for HDR. (locking brightness slider, whatever picture mode you...

Ordered a 2nd AW monitor to test. Should be here Friday if Dell doesn't delay it and ship 3-day instead of Next Day again. Going to be interesting to have 2 of the same screens side by side to really see how they can differ due to panel lottery. I still have the LG WN setup next to the...

Well, just my luck, the price went up 40 in the middle of my check out process. Still a bit cheaper. Thinking it over

Hmm, this new price is 95.29 from my current AW3821DW. Is it crazy to order a 2nd one to see which has the best panel, and/or possibly save $95.29 when returning the first one? (Edit: Unless there's a chance Dell will apply a restocking fee>) Only thing bothering me on the current one is a...

Thanks, I set it to not-scale. Though, I also had to set the resolution there to 2560x1440. If I left it at 3840x1600 and opened say Fall Guys at 2560x1440, full-screen, it still scaled. I guess some how the monitor was still displaying 3840x1600 due to either Windows and/or G-Sync.

Okay, ran the demo benchmark for Tomb Raider. SDR Game - Default Graphic (high)/Display Settings (Windows HDR on) Scene 1 - Looked good. SDR probably helped this night scene. Could see details in nearly all the areas Scenes 2 & 3 - Looked good HDR Game - Default Graphic (high)/Display...

Scaling and Aspect ratio controls? Just realized I can’t find standard controls for scaling, stretching, 1:1 and so on. Say you got a game that only runs 16:9, and 2560x1440 is your highest option, this means it will always upscale. What if you wanted the pixels 1:1 for clarity?

I don’t own Shadow of the Tomb Raider, though the demo might have the benchmark based on what I looked up (downloading now). I can get Gears 5 with Game Pass, but it requires 110 gigs, so I may I’ll hold off on that one right now.

No speakers, but I believe the audio is for a headphone jack under the middle front of the monitor, between the two extra USB ports, around that downward light strip.

Open Color Management in Windows 10 (hit Windows key and start typing for it), I think you can remove it there, or at least replace it with standard sRGB 2.1 profile. There's also a checkbox "Use my settings for this device" that might disable the custom ICC. I don't have any profile added so I...

When I installed the ICC profile for the WN95c, colors looked immediately pale. Red just didn't look red anymore. So I'm hesitant to see what Dell has provided.

I might look into a device for color calibration in the future, but otherwise I've left everything as is and just using the Nvidia digital vibrance slider as needed. Is there a specific colorimeter that works with this type of display (nano-IPS)?
