Yes, it glows pink/purple/magenta even when the display is off. Horrible. QD OLEDs are dark-room only mastering monitors, not daytime. And that purple glow definitely does impact your perception of colour even when the scene is bright. There is NO WAY that is calibrated to a D65 white point if you measure it full-screen and keep the calibration meter pulled back away from the monitor so it doesn't block ambient light in the immediate vicinity of where the sensor is calibrating. The only way a QD OLED's calibration is even remotely possible to be valid is when the lights are completely off.

Was your HDR testing with LG C2 using HGIG tone mapping mode or dynamic tone mapping? Dynamic tone mapping artificially brightens darker parts of the image, which could explain why the C2 looked brighter than the Alienware.

Even with HGIG the C2 was brighter for me except for 2% window where my C2 can only get to 700ish nits and the Alienware can hit 1000, for whatever reason at 10% the alienware is like 450 nits while the LG can still hold 700 nits. Couple that with the size difference and the C2 is definitely the brighter one.

I have the c2 65” and now the AW3225qf too and I agree, the c2 overall brightness is higher than the AW but the the peak 1000 highlights on the AW are much higher than the c2. Despite the AW also being glossy I do think the finish on the c2 is is slightly better and more crisp. I think this may be because the AW is a “semi-gloss” vs a true gloss like the c2. Both screens are beautiful though that’s for sure.

Also, the OP stated that the color setting was left on standard (not the over-washed settings of vivid or "dynamic") and not calibrated, so for those settings I think the LG was impressive. Many reviews on reddit and forums have stated that QD-OLED, while brighter, don't have as deep as blacks.

Its a very informative and good comparison between the mainstream small OLED TV and current best 4k OLED monitor in market. In HDR performance, I believe there's not too much real life difference in terms of HDR brightness unless you are rich enough to buy different OLED displays and compare them side to side. A little correction from the video @Johny McPro mentioned. First, for LG TV, you can never turn off ABL, what he turned off is actually ASBL, which is dim down when static display detected. Its annoying ASBL cant detect when you typing and it dim down. ABL is depends on overall window percentage in high brightness, the large bright window, the lower highest brightness. The ABL for any OLED TVs are pretty aggressive that its to reserve the shelf life of OLED to prevent burn-in. The OLED monitors, since smaller screen size, the ABL is quite less aggressive than TV (technically) Second, about the peak brightness like this Alienware QD-OLED advertised. Its completely a marketing BS because its need a very very tiny high brightness window size to achieve. Fun facts, regardless WOLED or QD-OLED, 10% and above white windows (in testing) are only 500-600 nits. You rarely has any HDR gaming or movie scenes that can dive below 5% bright windows. For reason why LG C2 42 is generally "brighter" than Alienware 32 is because the larger bright windows for LG is actually do better than Alienware. It is also due to pixel density. For 32 inch 4k is much denser pixels than 42 inch 4k, a smaller self-lit pixel tend to has lower overall brightness compare to large one. Just simply go to RTings compare the C2/C3 in different sizes, you can see that the larger TV do has higher peak brightness. When you choosing between WOLED and QD-OLED, no.1 factor definitely your room condition. If your use case more on day time and pretty bright environment, better choose WOLED. If you purely on gaming at night, in a darker room, then go for QD-OED. For my case, my desk is right beside windows, QD-OLED raised black issue is really huge deal breaker for me. So I rather choose WOLED.

Awesome comparison. Each screen does shine in some instances over the other. When you had the side by side comparison it looked like the C2 had much better blacks. Very inky very nice while the AW looked a little greyish next to C2. But the colours in Halo Infinite looked better on the AW vs the C2. Not sure if it was the timing of when you took the shots but the C2 also looked like it handled glares/reflections worse than the AW. I don't play a lot of competitive games so the 240hz isn't a big deal for me, id rather better picture quality as the type of games I play cap out at sub 100 fps anyways at 4K and maxed out settings, even on my 4090 rig.

I don't participate in pointless tech arguments and I'm not here to start anything, so I won't respond to combative replies. Just wanted to point out that, since you mentioned how impressed you were with some the brightness, that mini-LED has currently no competition in this area as far as the consumer panel market goes. I owned a LG C1 for two years and I recently replaced it with a mini-LED TV by TCL. It can do 2500 nits on a 25% window which is almost three times as much as any OLED is currently capable of doing. I just wanted to point out how much of a difference that makes in your viewing experience. Of course some people prefer OLED for the infinite black level and that's perfectly valid. I will personally not go back to OLED until peak and especially sustained brightness is dramatically improved. For me personally, brightness makes the biggest impact on my viewing experience. The higher the brightness the more enjoyable the experience is for me.

The LG's black expression is better, and the Dell's colors seem to be richer, but it feels a bit exaggerated.

Great video. I also have both of these. I love the AW3225QF but I am having to return mine, the RGB on back doesn’t come on and work and I keep getting this thermal warning on mine when gaming. But I love the color compared to the C2 and the 240 hz motion. After having and using both its hard to stomach that after taxes and shipping the AW is $1300 compared to the $800 I got my C2 on sale for at BB. But I think I might try try the 360 hz version as I play mostly FPS titles with 4090.

I have the 360hz w/ a 4090. FPS is awesome on it. I’d argue better than 32in, but still going to try the MSI 32in when it comes out too.

ive had quite few issues with mine, hope the FW comes soon. i got about 1 week left to return it. but it seems based on early reivews, Asus was not able to squeeze out any extra performance out of their model. so must be panel limitation and Asus also wont even have DV ready at launch, which could be a sign its not Dells fault either?

How anti glare coatings became the norm is beyond me. It looks terrible, all the time, and barely cuts down the glare, it even makes the overall picture worse than gloss coatings in brightly lit environments.

Nice video! Im currently using the 42" C3, And am currently contemplating about going to the new MSI 4k monitor that was just released. Since your Alienware and the MSI are using the same screen and tech, My real worry and question is. Do you notice DSC at all on the alienware? And what did you use for a cable to hook it up? HDMI 2.1? Or DP 1.4?

I have this Alienware (and ordered the MSI as I don't like the curve) and can say the DSC is not noticeable at all (using Displayport 1.4 cable). The autodimming is very noticeable though and quite annoying in games that fade to white or have large white areas (I haven't tried Red Dead 2 but I can imagine it being terrible in that).

Are both LG and AW3225QF calibrated to a D 65 color temperature ? If you have CALMAN, you should be able to calibrate the LG automatically. It seems like the LG has a cooler color temperatur. If you choose Cinema mode on LGC2, you should be at D65. Also, when you are shooting the comparison, which HDR mode are you on for both devices? if you are playing Dolby Vision content then you have to make sure that both units are calibrated at the D65 in Dolby Vision Cinema mode or Dolby Vision Dark. The alienware red color seems to be orange. It doesn’t really hit the P3 color however looks a lot deeper red and it appears to be more accurate than the Alienware. Do you have DEITP or DE2K?

Thanks for the great review! Have you noticed any dirty screen effect with your Alienware on very dark gray backgrounds? That's my biggest complaint about my unit at least. Dark grays below 15% are quite dirty looking on mine with lots of noticeable thin, horizontal bands, as well as a few wide vertical bands/areas of darker color. What this results in is a noticeable dirty screen effect in games, movies and pictures that have a lot of these kinds of dark grays. I have noticed a bit in Alan Wake 2 when looking at the sky and in Firefox, when using the dark theme. The biggest offender so far though has been Resident Evil 2 Remake, where these bands are visible not only in the skies, but on some other textures as well, which can be quite distracting and immersion breaking. I bought a second unit to try out and will see if it's any better in this regard. If not, I will have to assume that this is a fairly widespread issue with this panel's manufacturing. In any case, it is also my favorite monitor as well, so I will still keep at least one of them, whichever one is better. Just wish the dark grays were more uniform, as it is otherwise almost perfect in picture quality.

Trying to make this decision but i dont have them side by side. The lg c2 that i have is brighter though not because is a larger display but because its brighter in 10% 25% etc window sizes than the alienware. Alieware and all new qd oled monitors do 1000 nits for 2%. Sizes after that take a nosedive with 10% being at 450. I would like to try a new qd oled for the 240Hz since i have a 4090 but am worried i will regret it due to the brightness difference…any opinions? Thanks
