today","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0}],"full_text":"a few months ago Samsung display gave us an early look at their unreleased quantum dot OLED TVs and gaming monitors and we made a video telling you guys how Blown Away we were by the image quality except there was one small problem that video was sponsored so many of you accused us of being overly enthusiastic well guess what this right here is the Alienware aw3423dw it's 175 Hertz it's got HDR and it's equipped with a brand new quantum dot OLED panel from Samsung display and because James was the one who did that last video I get to experience this Tech in the flesh for my very first time right in front of all of you and today there's no Samsung display sponsorship to be found because this video is sponsored by bitdefender bitdefender Total Security is a complete solution to protect your Windows macOS Android and iOS devices try it out for free for 120 days on up to five devices at the link down below there's no time to waste so I'm all set up on this chair that we literally found in the alley I'm at the new house so there's no furniture here yet and we're gonna game on this bad boy what do we got for graphics horsepower here a 30 90. perfect oh should we talk about specs at all no no you just gotta get you got a game on it all right I'm gonna try it I've been so excited to try these ever since James came back from the early sneak peek the first thing I'm going to do is change it from hdr400 True black which is what you'd see on a typical OLED to HDR Peak 1000 that's right theoretically it has all the advantages of OLED which means perfect blacks but with a thousand nits Peak brightness we're gonna set the game to 3440 by 1440 which is the native resolution of this panel but while we're in the menu you guys probably noticed something g-sync is enabled and this isn't just regular g-sync this is g-sync Ultimate so that means we can have HDR and g-sync running at the same time all the bells and whistles or I can already tell HDR is working even just in the menu here we go here we go this is not as glinty and hdre as I would have expected yeah just normally you'd see like really eye searing like specular highlights on the car and stuff like that it's just not that okay this shaded house with the lit sky behind it is like kind of a crazy amount of dynamic range here like my eyes need to adjust to look from one part of the scene to the other that's insane there's still a lot of detail in here like when I look up into the sky with the sun behind it I'm like oh and then I look over here it's funny it really depends how the game is mastered in HDR it seems like in Forza they were really going for a more muted realistic HDR experience it is crazy how photorealistic this game looks on an accurate display this thing will do 99.3 coverage of the DCI P3 color space and out of the factory we measured just a Delta e of two in Creator mode using kelman so that's accurate enough for pretty much professional work on a gaming display now we're in game mode right now just not Creator mode because we want to run it in HDR 1000 but I was surprised how not overdone Samsung made their game mode usually Samsung is the king of just ridiculous vibrancy this looks great how sure are you that the game supports HDR Microsoft hides HDR under screen calibration okay we can decide how HDR we're going here well yeah I think so yeah okay this looks freaking awesome oh man love it I mean it won't make me good at video games but boy does it ever look good and wow I do not see any discernible color shift that is insane it's more like uh like looking at a picture almost like obviously it's self-emissive right like it's illuminated but you could forget you're looking at a monitor unreal it just looks awesome like what else is there to say effects and explosions look awesome of course we've seen Super Color accurate displays in the past that are totally unsuitable for gaming but that is not the case here one of the other big advantages of OLED is lightning fast pixel response times and that's still true here Samsung claims 0.1 milliseconds gray to Gray and I can't see any discernible motion blur even when whipping the camera around that's freaking awesome also pixel response time is only part of the calculation you also need to factor in how much input lag there is from the display's electronics and we managed about 16 milliseconds from click to photon with our NVIDIA ldat which is up there with the best gaming displays no responsive it's just what are the compromises what are the compromises find me one honestly like the clarity feels almost strobing clear to me like as I'm panning around there's just no blur now we should talk about Samsung's brightness claims for a little bit here we did manage to hit their claimed 1 000 nits of peak brightness in a one or two percent window which doesn't sound like a lot but in a scene like this would you really have more than one or two percent of the screen that would actually be at Peak brightness you wouldn't even want to look at something that's at a thousand nits across the entire display so it does fall off you see about 800 nits Peak brightness at 10 and then once you make your way all the way to full screen it sits in the neighborhood of 280 nits which is a lot for this much of your field of view it's very respectable compared to other devices out there and when you factor in that it's got perfect blacks the perceived dynamic range is extremely high man look at this suit all glow and yellow and stuff Jake are you ordering one right now here get your Shield back where's your Shield does it recharge yeah there we go there we go watch this ah it looks so good okay sorry I'm supposed to try a different game now oh this game looks so good like Forza had that realism kind of you know HDR effect but this is like whoa fantasy environment HDR you know it's just different it hits different all right we're in a much darker scene now but this is a really good opportunity to talk about one of the big benefits of qdo-led which is much better representations of red and yellow which are traditionally really difficult to handle and you get mad it's going to be hard to capture this on camera through your monitor but I I tell you guys the gold doesn't look yellow like gold tends to look on a normal display it looks it looks gold it looks shiny is I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it and I should shoot it apparently oh the thing about HDR is it's not about just more FPS right which is what we think about in terms of what makes something better for gaming it's about increasing the immersiveness and when a game is mastered well in HDR it's more realistic looking this looks and feels like I'm standing in the room I have actually I have a confession to make gamer confession I have never played an re game disappointed like your eyes need to adjust to perceive the difference it doesn't let you jump up ladders this is one of those Kane's games something to note though is that our RTX 3090 is working pretty freaking hard to make this look this good we could even benefit from a 3090 TI upgrade get subscribed by the way because we do have a review of that coming here we go I missed one of them to shoot okay are we close yeah oh that's really close isn't it oh stop I can't get rid of the menu so we're in filmmaker mode on the LG TV yeah you lose a ton of the detail here but it's all there to be clear LG's oleds this is a C1 great viewing angles compared to anything that we had seen before but this is next level it doesn't matter where you are in the room now one of the TVs with this coming I definitely want to see a TV with a proper filmmaker mode with this display Tech I feel like it could be even better okay until now we've talked about some of the reasons the aw3423dw looks so good but I'm sure you guys want more depth it starts with the QD OLED panel from Samsung display which works very differently from a typical white OLED or W OLED panel by starting with blue light instead of white then they filter that blue light with inkjet printed Quantum dots hence the QD in QD OLED we've got another video explaining this more in depth that you can check out here but basically by starting with a high frequency wave like blue across the entire panel and then stepping that light down into red green or anything in between through Quantum dots you lose very little light in contrast to the current W OLED method which filters colors rather than converting them and because there's no white subpixel colors don't get washed out when you're trying to make them look brighter and because we're being more efficient and not lose using light to color filters we're also not driving the panel as hard so the Alienware qdl lid here does have a manual and an automatic pixel or panel refresher option but the tech has come so far that we're just not anywhere near as afraid of burning as we used to be on top of that Dell is so confident in Samsung's panels that they are offering a three year warranty that includes burn-in now we're still waiting for some official statements from Samsung about results from Factory testing but confidence is pretty high that you can finally leave up your UI during a marathon gaming session and not worry about it sticking around when it's time to watch a movie as for the rest of the monitor you can put it either on the stand or on a standard base amount and it's got a two-tone white and black plastic case with RGB Lighting on the back there's lots of i o including this is really cool two USB ports on the bottom making them way easier to reach than most monitors and there's a navigation nipple down there for the on-screen display which has tons of Handy options and is really easy to use it's got decent Cable Management through the stand and while the inner and outer bezel leaves a little bit to be desired they immediately stopped noticing it as soon as there was content up on the screen there's also an acceptable level of pen swivel and tilt with the included stand meaning that Alienware might have just made almost every other Ultra wide 1440p monitor irrelevant especially given the price it's 12.99 us which is a lot of money but right now if you look for similar specs with an IPS panel rather than a QD OLED you're not going to find many at significantly cheaper prices this 34-inch Ultra gear from LG 1250. there's a cheaper Ultra gear but it has way worse HDR uses regular IPS instead of Nano IPS and it's only g-sync compatible not g-sync ultimate and that one's still a thousand dollars so you have to ask yourself is cutie OLED worth spending an extra 300 bucks it's not going to be in everyone's budget but we think that if you're already in that kind of price range the answer is most definitely yes and we're going to have this and these other displays linked down below so you can make your own decision later now part of the reason the price is not in the several thousand dollars category is the ability to get so many panels of this size from one sheet of mother glass that's the name for the giant slabs of glass that TVs and monitors are cut from we don't know exactly what Samsung display is doing but at 2.5 by 2.2 meters you can fit 18 of this on a single sheet instead of trying to cut a few out of the leftover glass from the larger displays like 75 inches TVs now Samsung is reporting some low yields on this Tech as low as 30 percent but since so many screens are being cut from a single sheet once small defect doesn't necessarily mean that one-sixth of your entire sheet is now garbage and as time goes on and the yield rate increases a nice thing about it being so low is that there's a lot of room for improvement so the price should come down even further speaking of great prices check out our new team red LTT Store pillow CPU peel lots of fun so it seems like easy answer if you're shopping for a display good product good price All Things Considered so this is what you buy right well yes but also no this is

of qdo-led options in the not so distant future we could see better prices or I mean who knows maybe you just don't really like the design of the stand or the housing that Alienware has given us here so jumping in now honestly looks like a goodbye to me but there are bound to be more options to choose from if you have a bit of patience as for me my C10 is two generations old at this point so uh
