On sale at Samsung for $1449 US. Educator discount brought it down to $1199. Was able to pickup at my local Best Buy instead of shipping from Samsung. Sorry for the messy cables, just wanted to plug it in as fast as possible and check for dead pixels. None found.

DELL S Series 34" UWQHD 165Hz monitor, S3427DW

I've recently just upgraded from a dual monitor setup to a 49" Phillips Evnia monitor and I am loving it so far however, when playing some games I wish I could split my monitor into 3 separate screens.

I would like to have a window on the left, a central 2560x1440 window in the middle, and another window on the right. I have found a few tools that do this such as power toys and virtual zones however those solutions don't really work how I would like with games as I have to have them in windowed mode for them to use the central region.

does anyone have any solutions to this and could people share their setup for splitting the display.

Did I win the panel lottery?

Getting a PlayStation for gta6 can't wait for PC release, I'm assuming I'll just have 16:9 with black bars? Sucks because it's an OLED but it is what it is. I have a tv but I've never been a couch gamer.

What's going on with the stock availability of this monitor? Why does it take 3 to 7 months to deliver? I really don't want to wait that long. :/

I'm monitor shopping for the first time in maybe a decade. My last job set me up with a pretty nice wide screen that I loved (but don't even recall what it was...). New gig gave me a MB Pro and perhaps the shittiest widescreen monitor I've ever used. Some off-brand thing. I use it in portrait mode to read email and that's about that and even that kind of sucks.

That said, the MBpro screen, as great as it is, isn't keeping up with my needs--which for better or worse these days is often multiple instances of Claude and Cursor running.

I'd really like a wide screen to get some side-by-side options.

I can't afford a "proper" 5 or 6k monitor. So I know no matter what I get, it won't look as sharp as the MB Pro, but need something better than 1080.

Is anyone using the Dell S3425DW? It seems like a nice price ($350 ballpark). It's only 1440 and that's my main concern. Can I live with it next to a MB pro screen? I just want to be able to read code and do some design work.

I won't be gaming so refresh rate isn't really a concern.

Kind of looking to maximize pixels for the budget.

PS...anyone know where to go look at higher res monitors these days? I went to Best Buy and they only had one higher res monitor and it was just playing a video demo. Once in a while I realize how much we've let Amazon destroy the physical shopping experience...

I have this monitor and had a question:

Gsync is on and the Monitor run at 360Hz. If I cap my frame rate to 60 FPS and open the OSD of the Monitor, it displays 120 Hz. However, if I cap it to 70 FPS, the OSD correctly shows 70 Hz.

Does your monitor also double/jump from 60 FPS to 120 Hz? I'm not really sure why it does that

Or
u4025qw

Is the extra space worth the extra dough? At work I open a lot of documents and don’t know if the 40ish space will be enough space

Randomly a few days ago my friends let me know that my stream on discord had become super washed out and bright on my AW3926QW. I'm assuming this is due to HDR on windows 11, but there is no setting on the HDR section to toggle HDR streaming off. I've been looking around for fixes, but to no avail. Anyone know anything?

While playing wardogs I checked my monitors OSD information menu because I was experiencing some flickering and the resolution top number was going haywire rapidly changing between hz readings. Is this normal? I was just in a semi dark room with fog during the games tutorial. Is this normal behavior during all games?

More info: gsync is currently off (only running it when games are in full screen mode) and this game is running in bordered full screen because full screen wasn’t an option for this resolution for some reason.

Hi!

Can you recommend what are the best oled models around 1400$ / 1250€ on the current market?

I've narroved my list down to
MSI X36 -
ASUS PG34WCDN
from these I'm leaning towards the MSI, but I'm curious if there are better alternatives?

My only criterias I know of: (around) 35", and UWQHD,
for this price I'd like the best picture quality (game and text) and QoL features.

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to buy a PS5 Pro soon, and I'm looking for a reliable HDMI to DisplayPort adapter.

My monitor: Samsung Odyssey G5 34" Ultrawide (LC34G55TWWPXEN)

Specifications: - Resolution: 3440 × 1440 - Maximum refresh rate: 165Hz - HDMI 2.0 - DisplayPort 1.4

Important note about the ultrawide aspect ratio:

I'm fully aware that the PS5/PS5 Pro does NOT support 21:9 ultrawide output.

The black bars on the left and right sides of the screen are NOT a problem for me. I expect them and I'm perfectly happy playing in 16:9 on this monitor.

I'm NOT trying to get 3440 × 1440 or stretch the PS5 image to fill the entire ultrawide screen.

My problem:

I can't get 120Hz from a PlayStation through my monitor's HDMI connection. To achieve 120Hz, I want to use the monitor's DisplayPort 1.4 input with an active HDMI-to-DisplayPort adapter.

My goal is very specific:

PS5 Pro → 2560 × 1440 → 120Hz → 16:9 with black bars on both sides

The black side bars are completely fine. The only thing I'm trying to achieve is a reliable 1440p/120Hz signal with the lowest possible input lag.

I was considering the UPTab UP-HDMI2DPG2 active HDMI 2.1 to DisplayPort 1.4 adapter, but it's currently difficult to find.

My questions:

• Which active HDMI 2.1 to DisplayPort 1.4 adapter would you recommend?
• Has anyone successfully tested one with a PS5 or PS5 Pro at 2560 × 1440 / 120Hz?
• Are there any reliable adapters that work without signal loss, random black screens, handshake problems or excessive input lag?
• Most importantly: has anyone actually tested this with the Samsung Odyssey G5 34" (LC34G55TWWPXEN)?

I'm looking for a proven solution that actually works at 1440p/120Hz, rather than an adapter that only claims to support it on paper.

Again, I know the PS5 doesn't support 21:9 and I have absolutely no problem with black bars on the sides. My question is purely about achieving 2560 × 1440 at 120Hz through the DisplayPort input.

Any recommendations or first-hand experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Should I get a replacement 🤔 or this best I can get

I’m looking forward to get my first OLED ULTRAWIDE monitor but there’s so many to choose from and I’m honestly lost.
My budget is around $1500-$1700 CAD, preferably 40” plus screen. 4K or 5K resolution with a nice refresh rate around 240-330hz. I mainly play first person shooter games competitively. I would like to get an ultra wide with more vertical depth rather than horizontal. Any recommendations with the specs listed is high appreciated. Thank you for the help ;)

Upgrading my LG Ultrawide to the AW3426DW. Does anyone dual stack ultrawides or should I keep my 1440P for YouTube/Discord. What are your thoughts?

I've been a console gamer all my life and made the switch to pc recently. I was content with playing on my TV, but after a bit of research and having always thought that Ultrawide looked super cool I ended up with a G9 OLED. I had concerns about going to 1440p since I usually game in 4k but the experience has been fantastic so far.

The wider view is an experience I've never had before in gaming and time will tell if it's my preferred method.

I bought few months ago AW3425DWM which I love and I'm looking to get another ultrawide for my setup. So since I don't have any issues should I go with it or buy the newer model?

Hey there, looking for UW recos for my very first upgrade from 27” ips 165hz, i dont really think i need 200+hz since i mainly play aaa games and only using 9070 xt. I see an asus rog oled HDR XG34WCDG for $999 cad 34”. I think it goes on sale sometimes but wondering if its a good monitor for an ultrawide introduction

Just got the alienware 39" oled. Not really happy with the brightness overall. I am coming from a LG 34 UW IPS display as my main internet monitor and an LG c1 TV.

I just want view reddit, YT, and gmail in SDR since windows 11 has terrible HDR desktop. I noticed my eyes are straining due to lack of brightness.

Has anyone returned the Alienware and gotten the LG for this reason? Is the LG a much better normal PC monitor that you can use to read the internet?

Any tricks to getting netflix to stream in 4k on a pc?

Thanks for any info.

Question for you guys regarding the new Alienware.

So I am looking into upgrading my monitor, and I have my eye on two monitors. One is the AW3225QF, and the other is the AW3926QW. I have watched a ton of reviews of both. However, while I have been able to find reviews for both, I have only been able to find footage of Destiny 2 on the smaller 32".

I was just curious if anyone on this sub has played Destiny 2 on the new Ultrawide, and if so what your experience was like. If you have footage even better, but honestly just your personal opinion on your experience works. Just want to discuss with people who have owned it so I can make an informed decision

I just picked up the aforementioned monitor because I thought I might like it more than the Alienware, especially with all the problems I’m hearing about. However, after playing with it for about 10 minutes, I already know it’s going back. The colors are just awful. I can barely tell it’s an OLED. I’m absolutely flabbergasted. I’ve had the Asus PG 32UCDM and before that the LG C2/cx and they all looked fairly comparable. But this one is just completely unsaturated and bleak. I don’t get it. I’m wondering if I have some things set wrong? Does anyone else have this monitor and impression? It’s running in HDR mode. I’ve tried the different monitor settings, but I mean even on standard mode no other OLED that I’ve had looked like this.
