i cannot decide between this oled or a apple studio display for my new mac studio -.- ... each of the monitors has that what the other hasn't ... the oled is a bigger utrawide 34'' with great contrast + colours, but only 1440p ... on the otherside the studio display has a crispy sharp 5k resolution (which scales perfectly for macOS) but the old IPS panel ... both at almost the same price the studio display has all the apple features (like controlling the display from your keyboard), while the g8 has all the smart TV stuff i do game, but only wow classic (so 60Hz should be fine for me) ... most of the time i consume or create content or code ... really really hard decision ... any opinions ?

Just picked this up and it should be delivered today. Got it for the same price as the Alienware but i tend to prefer Samsung products so when i saw this one had dropped to 1k, I scooped it up. The mini ports are very strange but not a dealbreaker IMHO. The box includes a mini DP to full size DP I believe? I'll be pairing this with my PC that has an Intel i7 12700 and RTX 3080.

@@MG-Alexandrovich RGBW is preferable to the triangle layout of QD-OLED and can be improved using Mactype on Windows but if text rendering is really important to you it's definitely not perfect. The printed JOLED panels feature proper RGB but are 60Hz and expensive. Otoh as a second display it's probably fine and the gaming benefits far outweigh the text rendering negatives, just don't use it for any print work. EDIT: Forgot to add that the difference between the QD-OLED layout and RGBW is that on QD-OLED you get color fringing on sharp borders whereas RGBW is just slightly less sharp than a normal RGB stripe arrangement.

i have had this monitor for two weeks now and honestly easily my favorite monitor, but for the price and some other videos I saw talking about OLED monitors I don't think I'm going to keep it. From what I heard OLED monitors potentially have a shorter life span than others and of course the burn in potential is aways there so I don't think I'm going to keep it and I already ordered the Samsung NEO G9. I have an AOC 49' monitor and I know it has had it's fair share of issues I'm hoping for the best fantastic review though.

Just got this monitor. Looks and feels amazing once you tweak the settings to your liking. BUT I'm having 1 issue and it's a big issue. I'm using the Display Port. I'm playing a game at 2560x1440, which is 16:9. And it's stretching the picture to 21:9. I DON'T want the picture stretched. I want the original aspect ratio. NOT stretched. When I go to the settings, the "Fit to Screen" option is LOCKED to ON. How do I turn this off? I need to get this turned off. Because it's ruining my gaming experience. If I want to play a 16:9 game on my PC, I shouldn't be forced to play stretched to 21:9 distorting the picture. I have the Alienware AW3423AWF and it's not an issue on that monitor. Able to play 16:9 with no issues. So it's an issue specifically with the G8.

I need to ask how are you using HDR on Valorant? AutoHDR does not work for me when I toggle it. I have to increase the SDR slider brightness to make the game brighter so it's not super dark.. This tells me the game is running in SDR, As the SDR Slider only effects SDR content not HDR. I would test using the slider to see if you're truly running the game in SDR/HDR. Let me know please! Been using the monitor for a week I love it! Only drawback for me as valorant being my main game is the bigger screen makes it hard to tap heads far away in valorant.

I was going to get the Alienware DWF but got the G8 instead. My main reason was that the G8 has a 10cm smaller footprint(depth wise) then the Alienware and the G8's stand is just overall very unobtrusive. A monitor arm to fix the depth issue with the DWF isn't really an option as my desk isn't suitable.

What CPU and GPU you have? I have 2080 with 9900k and I am worried that the Ultrawide 2k resolution would be too much for my setup. I also plain mainly Valorant. But I also do some Singleplayer games like Cyberpunk, RDR2, etc. I do not expect high FPS on SP games, just so that I can enjoy the graphics and colors on HDR monitors. :) Oh, and what is your opinion on Burn-in? Do you use it also for office work? I would be concerned, because I would need to use it also for work, which can introduce a lot of static images at times for a while.

Currently choosing between Alienware DWF model vs this one. Or if I decide to go outside of OLED (due to potential burn-in issues), I am considering some Odysseys.

I have the G8 but don't use it for work. I have however listened to a lot of reviews that say the pixel layout of this screen (and the Alienware) doesn't display text as well as an IPS panel as it's not the traditional RGB layout. When i first turned on my G8 it was VERY noticeable but after running ClearType it fixed it for me, It's not perfect but i hardly notice any difference now. As far as burn in, it's a real concern but i think over-rated in terms of how bad/soon it might occur. Use a screen saver, no big deal.

I have a 2080 and I've been using an older Alienware ultra wide for a few years and love it. Might have to lower settings for some games to hit a good fps on full resolution but definitely worth it. And as someone else said, the issue with qd-oled is the pixels are in a diamond pattern instead of rectangle which is what causes the rgb outlines around text because the pixels don't perfect match up like square ones would.
