World first QD-OLED monitor from Dell and Samsung (34 inch Ultrawide 175hz)

My solution for games was simple, just get a 4090

Found a TLDR comment on YouTube: Tim is happy with his monitor and has next to no burn in and there is a software update for the Alienware AW3423DW.

Great monitor really. Been very happy with mine.

I did not realise the DW could be software updated so I was shocked to see the December 2023 Firmware update here:

Support for Alienware 34 Curved OLED Monitor AW3423DW | Drivers & Downloads | Dell UK

Posting incase I am not the only one who missed this. I just updated mine to 106.

Dell specifically said it wasn't possible, totally missed this.

Just watched the video - will be upgrading this evening then, nice!

The results are staggering, in polar opposites of what a lot of users reported, the RTings torture tests are showing the phenomenal burn in resistance these OLED panels have, which have even outlasted some LCD panels.

These are the results after 1 YEAR of static image use, at 100% brightness, at approximately 18 hours per day, approximately 6570 hours of the same static image being displayed at full brightness.

Both of the panels present incredible resilience against burn in even under the most unrealistic, hilarious burn in attempts.

Update done, always bugged me I was stuck on the release firmware. Great result!

Just treated myself to the AW3423DWF, let's see if it lasts the 3yr warranty !!

Firmware update has been great, far less messages to do maintenance at startup.

Had no idea DW firmware could be updated till now. Result

Yup really awesome move by Dell/Nvidia. Sorted some annoying bugs.

 

[SpartaP]

Before I do the update, I just want to make sure I'm not being thick.

I'm currently on MB204, so this update will update to MB205 and not MB106, as I presume my monitor has the Nuvoton MCU?

 

[SpartaP]

Updated to MOB205

 

[HungryHippos]

Updated to MOB106 hopefully solves the annoying fan ramping sound issue I sometimes get. Got the DW not the DWF.

Did this reset settings for anyone else? set all mine back to defaults.

My replacement doesn't show on mine hmm

 

[SpellowHouse]

I've noticed one of the problems he mentions with my DWF. The pixel refresh sometimes runs when the monitor comes out of standby rather than when it goes in to it. It is annoying!

You will need to contact Dell to get them to manually add it.
