Theres also overshoot which can stand out due to being a bit brighter or darker than the background. On the subject of cables, the Alienware AW3423DW features a good amount of connectivity. This is a generous gamut, so standard sRGB content outside of a colour-managed environment is presented in a highly vibrant and saturated way. It will do this again when you next turn the monitor off or its allowed to go into standby, if it has been used for another cumulative 4 hours or more. Well just focus on Shadow of the Tomb Raider for this section, to keep things simple. The shifts in the image including contrast, colour and the representation of black are extremely minor. Colour reproduction It behaved exactly as youd expect from HDR Peak 1000, so this was just a visual bug in the OSD with how the setting was reported and didnt affect its performance. As well as a broad spectrum of shades between these extremes, including muted pastel shades alongside very vibrant saturated shades. As explored in our article on the topic, the 3440 x 1440 resolution and 21:9 (ultrawide) aspect ratio confers various benefits for both work and play. Conclusion There were plenty of eye-catching vibrant shades, such as orange berries, purple flowers, some of Lara Crofts brightly coloured dresses and gold artifacts to give just a few examples. He also covers GPU, VR, and Steam Deck news. We observed some flickering under VRR for dark and medium-dark shades during heavy frame rate fluctuation. This is a generous gamut, so standard sRGB content outside of a colour-managed environment is presented in a highly vibrant and saturated way. With this in mind, we used this setting at reduced brightness for our own viewing comfort in the evenings. We had hoped the G-SYNC module mightve allowed re-tuning of gamma to account for this, but whether for a technical reason or otherwise that wasnt the case here. The main element from the front is of course the screen itself, with moderate curve and glossy anti-reflective finish. As with games, some video content naturally made better use of HDR than other video content. For OLED models aggressive pixel overdrive is not required and overshoot isnt an issue either way. The generous DCI-P3 coverage also gives the monitor good potential for work within the DCI-P3 colour space. As is common for OLED screens, the screen uses low amplitude oscillation so theres a slight cyclical dip in brightness. Limited availability, active cooling and fringing will be issues for some users, image retention a potential issue with integrated measures to combat it part of the experience This indicates a very low viewing angle dependency to the gamma curve of the monitor, characteristic of OLED. The depth to the dark and medium shades was also suitably low, with per-pixel illumination helping even intricate details appear very defined. 2 further USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and a 3.5mm headphone jack are located at the bottom of the screen, just to the left of centre as viewed from the front, for easy access. With a peak luminance of 1059 cd/m, the monitor was capable of giving a very lively look to smaller bright areas. G-SYNC the experience Interpolation and upscaling The final two columns show reference screens, set to what we consider their optimal response time setting for a given refresh rate. Image Retention Good ergonomic flexibility was also offered, though as usual for a curved screen pivot was not an option here. Our preference was the 2.4 setting simply as the 2.2 setting provided gamma that was far too low for dark shades, inviting unintended detail and making dark content appear far less blended than it should. This enhanced precision helps the monitor put its generous gamut to good use and improves the nuanced shade variety for both brighter and darker shades. We didnt observe clear blotchiness or obvious striations and most shades were displayed with strong uniformity. At time of review its not an easy model to get hold of, with demand greatly outstripping supply. But even if youre not interested in or able to get hold of this specific model, it certainly offers a nice glimpse into what can be expected from future models adopting similar technologies in a range of screen sizes and resolutions. The reference screens run at 170Hz rather than 175Hz, but this 5Hz difference is negligible. Interpolation and upscaling The image below gives a rough idea of how things looked here, though note that the grey background appeared more uniform to the eye than it appears in the photo. The other titles we tested worked correctly, including; Battlefield 2042 (and other BF titles), Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Call of Duty: Vanguard and Cyberpunk 2077. Given the intended uses for the monitor, inter-unit variation and performance with OSD tweaking alone we wont be using any ICC profiles in this review or including any measurements or graphs using them. Our article on the technology explores the principles behind the technology and its benefits, so we wont be repeating too much of that. And regardless of the HDR setting used, brightness was rather limited in such situations compared to where plenty of medium and darker shades were also presented. Finally, HDR makes use of at least 10-bit precision per colour channel, so its desirable that the monitor supports at least 10-bits per subpixel. Most users should be fine with this and the monitor will feel highly responsive, though some sensitive users may prefer an even lower signal delay. Other advantages of the G-SYNC module include the fact there isnt a defined LFC boundary as you get with Adaptive-Sync models (usually 48Hz), with slight momentary stuttering when its crossed. As such you become quite aware of the limited frame rate, observing low framerate judder in quite a clear fashion for example. This is exaggerated in images and videos showing the monitor, which makes it look like theres a defined pinching centrally. This balanced spectrum is the reason Dell markets this as a ComfortView Plus option, with TV Rheinland certifying it as a Low Blue Light hardware solution. Something we refer to as balanced spectral output. This is a GPU rather than monitor feature so isnt something we will explain in detail, but it is designed to reduce tearing at frame rates well above the refresh rate of the monitor. An X-Rite i1Display Pro Plus (Calibrite ColorChecker Display Plus) was used to measure the luminance of white using various settings, including those found in the calibration section. Also note that theres an HDR/SDR brightness balance (Windows 10) or SDR content brightness (Windows 11) slider that allows you to adjust the overall balance of SDR content if HDR is active in Windows. As usual, wed recommend profiling the monitor with your own calibration device using the native gamut if you require the highest level of colour accuracy. With VSync off the frame rate is free to climb as high as the GPU will output (potentially >175fps). And no real undersaturation of note, just a touch for a few shades such as aquamarine (4) which verges slightly too much on aqua and gamboge (23) which verges a bit too much towards a yellower than intended version of the shade. Low frame rates certainly affect the connected feel and significantly increase perceived blur, though, and thats not something any VRR technology can help with regardless of how tightly tuned it is. Thats got nothing to do with the monitor itself there is a little bit of softening to the image compared to viewing such content on a native Full HD monitor, but its not extreme and shouldnt bother most users. The monitor delivered the usual 21:9 experience for movies and games with a decent amount of (horizontally biased) desktop real estate for productivity purposes. There was a beautiful and pure look to golds, some really solid and eye-catching red flowers and painted pottery and striking blues as well. The 21:9 aspect ratio also provided a significant Field of View (FOV) advantage for most game titles and allowed an entirely undistorted screen-filling experience for appropriate video content. Whilst said neon shades such as neon green and bright purple appeared with excellent pop. Note that you may need to check the Override the scaling mode set by games and programs checkbox in Nvidia Control Panel. You may try the ICC profile featured in the calibration section which includes gamut mapping for colour-aware applications, but best results are always obtained by calibrating your own unit with your own hardware. If the character was repositioned so the light streaming in from above dominated, the ABL kicked in and dimmed things quite a bit. A highly vibrant look with strong (excessive in places) depth. This figure is influenced primarily by the main element of input lag you feel (signal delay). For OLED models aggressive pixel overdrive is not required and overshoot isnt an issue either way. en. As a reminder, the colour gamut of the monitor is shown in the representation below, where the red triangle shows the monitors colour gamut, the blue triangle DCI-P3 and green triangle sRGB. The weaknesses for the reference LCDs are more pronounced now due to the increased response time requirements. We explore this in the subsequent section of the review. For reference, our system sits under the desk and is air-cooled. Under moderate natural lighting (not overly bright but not dim either) wed say it was still quite strong though not clearly superior to what a good VA LCD with ~3500:1+ static contrast might offer in terms of depth. If we then selected HDR Peak 1000 in the OSD the screen didnt blank out as it normally would when the setting is switched over as the monitor was already running that anyway. This is exaggerated in images and videos showing the monitor, which makes it look like theres a defined pinching centrally. Testing on both our Nvidia and AMD GPUs showed that the HDR implementation was similar in both cases, too. The unusual subpixel arrangement caused some fringing issues, particularly for bright text or edges against a darker background. A similar observation can be made for non-LCD technologies like CRTs and plasmas where the screen appears as a dark grey, sometimes with a slight tint, rather than black when exposed to enough light. The image is displayed in a somewhat softer way than on a native 27 Full HD screen. These pixel response weaknesses are slight on some LCDs (like the XB323U GP), but they can still create a mask of perceived blur that blends fine elements like that together. HDR (High Dynamic Range) on an ideal monitor involves the simultaneous display of very deep dark shades and brilliantly bright light shades. This, coupled with the inclusion of a flipped version of the shade sheet, allows both accuracy and colour consistency to be visually assessed. The maximum luminance was recorded at quadrant 6 to the right of centre (148.7 cd/m). If you do find it bothersome it might be worthwhile limiting frame rate or setting the monitor to a lower refresh rate to limit fluctuations. The Fast option enables a technology called Fast Sync, which only applies above the refresh rate and frame rate ceiling (>175Hz / 175fps). Because of the extreme contrast and very generous gamut of the Alienware plus the unusual subpixels it does stand out a bit more in this case. 2020. Whilst such screens have been used in various large TVs and smaller portable devices, the monitor segment has long been dominated by LCD panels. Richer, with an extra red hue. There are many ~34 3440 x 1440 Ultrawide models on the market. 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) is displayed perfectly whether the monitor or GPU is handling the scaling. We wouldnt recommend using them unless created for your specific unit using your own calibration device. Unlike many glossy screen surfaces weve come across, reflections are subdued significantly on this model and generally arent noticeable enough to be distracting even in a moderately bright room. Some game engines will also show stuttering (or hitching) for various other reasons which wont be eliminated by the technology. Moving on now to the screen surface, which is glossy on this model with a highly effective anti-reflective coating applied. Monitors with particularly strong contrast are prone to flickering for some shades during heavy frame rate fluctuations. You will therefore still get some oversaturation within the DCI-P3 colour space. This title is dominated by dark passageways, caves and tombs illuminated by point sources of light. These details appear more blended in the photo than they do in person. Colour gamut 'Test Settings' Selecting Color Space = sRGB does clamp the gamut to sRGB though, as an. The gamut below shows results using our Test Settings with this driver tweak applied. If you want to view HDR movie content, ensure Stream HDR Video (Windows 10) or Play streaming HDR video (Windows 11) is active. We didnt find the fluctuating brightness obvious by eye unlike the much more aggressive ABL feature some OLED screens use which can be annoying for desktop usage. For brighter shades it provides smoother gradients, more natural shade progressions which help the representation of particle effects such as smoke, weather effects and other fine gradations. Colour temperature uniformity map The AW3423DW instead delivers a visually perfect pixel response experience. If you activate the Frame Rate feature in the Game Game Enhance Mode section of the OSD, this will indicate the frame rate of your content if G-SYNC is active. The video below shows the monitor in action. If youre interested in this technology, which may be the case if you play older or less graphically demanding games at very high frame rates, you should watch this section of a video by Tom Petersen. All patterns were visible against the white background. In addition, we observed excellent internal detail levels on the Alienware at 175Hz the segments are certainly very distinct at this point with reasonably sharp lines separating them, but also the three white blobs on each segment are countable when tracking the UFOs by eye. During our review period we spent around a month using the monitor pretty solidly, including with a good chunk of time spent on the desktop. Responsiveness (VRR) Pixel responsiveness was exceptionally strong, as expected for OLED-based technology. The monitor is set to a very low brightness to help minimise this disparity. These deviate far too far from the intended look and what the metadata is telling the screen to do under HDR. The depth to the dark and medium shades was also suitably low, with per-pixel illumination helping even intricate details appear very defined. Regardless of how you set this up, the gamma behaviour and colour output for SDR content under HDR is odd and things certainly arent presented as they should be. With its considerable extension beyond sRGB, the monitor boosted red tones such that earthy browns and some skin tones appeared less neutral than intended. Low frame rates certainly affect the connected feel and significantly increase perceived blur, though, and thats not something any VRR technology can help with regardless of how tightly tuned it is. Results here were excellent, with no significant deviations recorded the top right was recorded as closest to 6500K, with a maximum DeltaE of 1.3 recorded centrally. You will therefore still get some oversaturation within the DCI-P3 colour space. Our preference was the 2.4 setting simply as the 2.2 setting provided gamma that was far too low for dark shades, inviting unintended detail and making dark content appear far less blended than it should. The screen surface also helps in this respect, allowing rather direct light emission rather than diffusing it like a matte anti-glare surface. As explored earlier with respect to screen surface, the contrast is most impressive in dimmer lighting conditions. With our RTX 3090 this was not commonly observed during gameplay, simply as the frame rate was generally relatively high and fairly stable. 0% It also delivered suitably varied colour output with some good vibrant elements but naturally muted pastel shades, due to its generous DCI-P3 coverage. HDR10 is the most widely supported standard used in HDR games and movies and what is supported here. Something we refer to as balanced spectral output. Behind these matte black plastic elements the screen has further bulk, covered with matte silverish white plastic that continues for the rather robust stand neck. If you observe the same Table of Contents (or indeed normal text) closely enough on an LCD monitor of similar pixel density, you may notice some fringing as well. The colour gamut now fully covers sRGB (100%), with just a little over-extension towards the green corner and red to blue edge. With our RTX 3090 this was not commonly observed during gameplay, simply as the frame rate was generally relatively high and fairly stable. The Xbox Series S/X can use make use of Adaptive-Sync VRR via HDMI on this model. 50% The gamma handling was quirky, changing with brightness and never hitting the 2.2 curve at all points regardless of OSD adjustment. As explored in our article on the topic, the 3440 x 1440 resolution and 21:9 (ultrawide) aspect ratio confers various benefits for both work and play. We observed nothing beyond faint vertical striations when closely observing the screen in this case, isolated to some very dark grey shades. Because of the exceptional pixel responsiveness of the monitor, stuttering tends to present itself in a particularly obvious way so it can certainly be nice having that removed. Donations are also greatly appreciated. Because this is an OLED monitor with per-pixel illumination, the black depth and dim look to dark shades is not compromised by this. Contrast in games and movies Brightness can be adjusted with this setting active and you have access to the gamma control, but as covered earlier you cant adjust colour channels with the Creator preset. We felt this added to immersion and in some cases could be considered a competitive advantage. The SpyderX Elite was used to assess the uniformity of lighter shades, represented by 9 equally spaced white quadrants running from the top left to bottom right of the screen. Our article on the resolution explores this experience for both games and movies in more detail. The recorded fluctuations are quite small even at higher brightness levels. A photography technique called pursuit photography is also explored, which uses a moving rather than stationary camera to capture motion in a way that reflects both elements of perceived blur, not just the pixel response element. At 144Hz, above, the UFO appears slightly narrower with slightly improved definition. Color Space = DCI-P3 We explore this in the subsequent section of the review. Due to graphical demands or incompatibility with a certain system (e.g. The monitor includes Adaptive-Sync support via DP, which allows compatible GPUs and systems to use FreeSync. Due to the extremely rapid pixel responses, the element of input lag you see (pixel responsiveness) only contributes in a very minor way to this figure. Overall, this monitor provided a truly unique experience which in many respects was very enjoyable. The high frame and high refresh rate combination also decreases perceived blur due to eye movement, much as we demonstrated earlier using Test UFO. Although our testing focuses on HDR PC gaming using DisplayPort on an RTX 3090, similar observations were made when viewing HDR video content on the Netflix app. The images below shows how things appeared with using the Creator preset set to sRGB, with the top image showing the 2.2 and the bottom image the 2.4 gamma setting. In my lengthy research, I have already planned out what exact settings to use for color accuracy, HDR, and everything else at this time and I've pretty much accepted any shortcomings with this monitor in regarding to text fringing and the like just to finally have a reasonably affordable OLED monitor after so . And for glossy screen surfaces, brighter conditions can introduce reflections which are typically sharper and more widespread than observed here. It could be bothersome if youre particularly sensitive to fan noise or if you have a silent or very quiet system and favour a very quiet environment. The look is quite well-balanced for an LBL setting, but it achieves the primary goal of further reducing blue light output. In addition to manufacturer-imposed limits to luminance, which reduce the risk, the monitor includes 3 main mitigation measures. The pixel response requirements are significantly increased there and the reference LCD screens show some weaknesses. The percentage deviation between each quadrant and the brightest point recorded is also given. Ensure that the checkbox for Enable G-SYNC is checked, then select your preferred operating mode. One game title we tested, The Outer Worlds, didnt support 21:9 at all. Ensure that the checkbox for Enable G-SYNC is checked, then select your preferred operating mode. If you do find it bothersome it might be worthwhile limiting frame rate or setting the monitor to a lower refresh rate to limit fluctuations. As we explored earlier, gamma changes with brightness on this model and gamma is actually far too low overall using the 2.2 setting at the low brightness levels required for this assessment. You will therefore still get some oversaturation within the DCI-P3 colour space. Once connected up, G-SYNC should be automatically configured and ready to use. Some will prefer the more consistent and predictable experience of HDR 400 True Black and it can be more comfortable to use for longer periods of time. For reference this is the issue I'm referring to: https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware-Desktops/AW3423DW-won-t-wake-from-sleep/td-p/8202324, https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware-Desktops/AW3423DW-will-go-completely-dead-after-sleep/m-p/8258947, https://www.dell.com/community/Alienware-Desktops/AW3423DW-does-not-wake-from-standby/td-p/8271031, https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/teo7ik/aw3423dw_standby_and_powering_off/, https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/vj7ahv/aw3423dw_pixel_refresh_and_standby_mode/, https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/u6tntk/aw3423dw_not_waking_from_sleep/, https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/uy19ta/aw3423dw_wont_stay_in_standby_when_pc_is_off_and/, https://www.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/vm6wk0/aw3423dw_pixel_refresh_turns_off_monitor_multiple/. In addition to supporting G-SYNC on compatible Nvidia GPUs, AMD FreeSync can be used. The percentage deviation between each quadrant and the brightest point recorded is also given. This includes 2560 x 1440 @120Hz which can be accessed by the Xbox Series X/S. We felt this added to immersion and in some cases could be considered a competitive advantage. Regardless of how 10-bit is achieved, the resulting image is essentially identical. 2.2 The former conforms to the VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 level (not to be confused with the non- True Black level) and provides a more consistent brightness experience. This doesnt bother me too much, as someone who watches a fair amount of 4:3 content, but its certainly something to bear in mind. Also be aware that there isnt a lot of space between the ports and the bottom lip of the port area, so it can be a bit fiddly trying to fit less flexible (thicker) cables. The colour gamut, screen surface and strong contrast (especially when a given shade was surrounded by darker content) aided this. Note that Cyberpunk 2077 enforced full screen (stretch to fit) GPU scaling, distorting the image as shown when running at a resolution that has a non-native aspect ratio such as 16:9.
