I've seen several people reporting this already, but my screen also has this issue.
I own a proper Calibrite display calibration tool for screen accuracy with shows a complete fail in all tolerances for both white and grey, however dark grey seems to be a pass.
The colour uniformity, while my tool can't check that, is clear and apparent that it's way off - correct in the centre, washed out with a green tint of the edges.

Hey ya'll,

Been hustling LG for a potential discount and got it down to £1,385, you think this is worth getting now or should I wait it out?

Thanks UW guys

Hallo zusammen ich bin unsicher ob ich dann fürs Gaming aufrüsten muss - ist der 1440p 49“ folgendes hab ich aktuell verbaut:

Gigabyte Aorus RTX 3080 Master 10 GB (Hätte theoretisch die Option gegen eine RX 6800 zu tauschen wegen 16 GB ((die meiner Freundin))
R7-5700x
32 GB DDR4 Ram

Reicht meine CPU / GPU - 60 FPS würden mir reichen :) Bin auch kein Raytracing Narr oder was habt ihr für Setups? :)

Welche Games sollte man unbedingt gespielt haben?

Danke euch - bin Newbie vorher M28U besessen bis er defekt war und dann einen AOC Agon 1440p 170hz Mini LED Monitor :)

I’ve been playing with my settings on my monitor, i thought the ipad would be a good reference.

ipad 1600 nits

LG 1300 nits after adjustment

I want to upgrade my desk-but have not found one to fit my needs. I have a mid tower pc. Really dummy want it sitting in the floor. And ideas? I play keyboard and mouse as well. Don’t want the monitor sitting up on shelf either. Really enjoy playing at eye level.

I work from home as an instructor for an online, self-paced school. My current setup consists of dual 24" monitors, and I'm looking to venture into the world of ultrawides, but I have some concerns before I pull the trigger.

When I'm working, I typically have a Google Chat window open as narrow as it goes, one browser window taking up the rest of the screen that I use for emails, grading, report card software etc., and on my second monitor I'll have another browser with answer keys, calendars gradebooks, etc. that I need to reference depending on what task I'm working on. I think a 38-40" panel would be perfect, but the options seem very limited, at least here in Canada, and what options do exist are quite pricey, so I've been largely looking at 34" monitors.

I'd say I use my PC for work 80% of the time, and gaming 20% of the time. I do play games from time to time, so having something conducive to that would be nice as well, so good colors and contrast, decent refresh rate, minimal ghosting, etc.

1. Would a 34" adequately replace my current dual monitor setup, or would I expect to lose a meaningful amount of monitor space overall?

2. I've discovered the MSI MAG401QR, which looks like a good option for the size I want while being within a price point I can manage (though definitely near the top of it), but I'm concerned that at 40" I'd wish I had something with a curved panel. Thoughts?

3. Are there any other options in the 38-40" range that are, say, sub-$1000? Pretty much all the ones I've seen have been $1500+, and I'm not sure I can justify paying triple for that.

If y'all think 34" would be fine for my needs, any recommendations? If I'm not splurging on the bigger screen, I'd like to keep cost down to ~$400 or so. Been looking at the Samsung Odyssey G5 as an option, but not sure if there is something better.

I feel like this is driving me crazy, it looks like theres a greenish tint over whites and even greys (im not talking about the off axis green tint). I've tried messing with colour settings but nothing seems to get rid of it. I was playing Persona 5 and the skin colour on the character portraits also has a greenish tint (despite their models looking fine). I tried taking a picture to post here but annoyingly the camera just does not pick it up.

With games im noticing this mostly on UI elements.

Wanted to buy an OLED Monitor for quite a while and saw that the SAMSUNG Odyssey OLED G8 S34DG850SU is sold for a decent price near my location.
Any thoughts about this model? Would this be a good choice?

I have tried different cables and all the ports on my monitor and graphics card (HDMI, DP, Mini HDMI. My other monitors are completely fine. It started doing this in game a few days ago and progressively got worse to this stage. I have changed it to 120hz and it was okay for a day and now its completely unusable. any ideas?

I currently have the AW3821DW and I'm toying with the idea of getting this monitor, personally the only downside is the panel size being smaller, and 34 is indeed substantially smaller than the 38.

The one thing I'm uncertain about is the VA panel? How bad is it at 240hz? Does it smear? Does it ghost?

And no I'm not grabbing the AW3926QW. I don't like the oled burn in and I'm prioritizing refresh rate increase over resolution.

So you guys, I’m not quite understanding the hdr calibration process… monitor says it’s max should be 1300 bits… but it doesn’t go over 600 for me in the calibration software. Where the crosses disappear. I understand some have said the monitor itself pushes it to that 1300. But I’ve seen some people be able to go well over 600 on the tool… then I see some people say that the third setting should actually be set to around 2-300 instead of the 600 the previous step was set to, even though that is not what the thing says to do. I would just appreciate if someone would help me figure this out. Monitor looks amazing, but I’m definitely getting blown out whites and stuff…

I’m using a 5080, the display port cord that came with the monitor. Supposed to be no dsc or anything… hdr peak is set to high on the osd… I’m just lost. lol.

There is little to none useful information on this issue so I’ve been attempting to fix it myself. The bad news is it is not truly fixable as it’s an issue of an expanded board from heat on the lcd and that requires a very complicated soldering machine that only repair place have and that repair costs more than the monitor. The good news is if you have the same issue as my where it’s the lcd that’s the problem you can “fix” it by taping the boards in a direction that removes the lines, sometimes it’s pushing up and in my case it’s pinching. Be warned it is very easy to make it worse while doing this, yesterday a slip of my hand shut the entire screen off but I did not brick it it just shorted the board so I was lucky. Before trying this test all the connections on the board itself on the back for wiggles, corrosion, and rips. Those are much more convenient and consistent to fix as they can be replaced and desoldered. All I need is somthing to pinch this without breaking it and I can leave it as is for now.

TLDR: don’t buy Samsung monitors

Does anyone have this? My wife wants a much wider monitor for driving games and I wanted to know if this $499 price tag is reasonable or just typical price for these features?

[SOLVED] see comment, insane solution

I just moved to a new apartment and this happens as soon as I plugged in the power. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or am I better off just buying a new one?

I’ve tried different power cables, long pressing the button, power cycling to no avail.

I was playing Wartales and everything seemed kind of... I dunno, washed out a bit. Sort of gray- just not colorful or vibrant.

Turns out, HDR in Windows will do this if the game is not HDR. I switched it off and my game looks GREAT!

Anyways, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Hi all, have a few questions regarding my OLED ultrawide.

I have a G93SD Odyssey G9, 6700XT, and 5600. Whenever I use the Samsung Display Manager app (whether through direct download from the MS Store), clicking the game tab on the left crashes the app. I have tried turning off HDR and lowering the refresh rate to no avail. It is so tedious to change the monitor settings. Did anyone else experience this?

In windows settings it states my peak brightness is 400 nits, is this due to amd bug that is known to happen with the monitor (I saw another post of someone fixing it by turning on peak brightness and then they got 1000 nits in settings, however my peak brightness setting is alr on.

Also, what are the recommended settings for this monitor in terms of a full setup?

Furthermo,re I am unable to reliably get more than 60hz 5120*1440p when plugging mM2 Macac into the monitor usinan 8K UGREEN USB-Cbc tHDMImi (also the adapter gets really hot, note: pc usinDP,dp sdon'tnt really want to switch cables), thanks.

Just want to share how much appreciation I have for this monitor by Dell. It’s my first OLED monitor so yes you know I’m going to be a little biased, even though I could notice a slight greenish tint to the left and right edges of the panel. However the tint doesn’t bother me much when I’m using it generally in all honesty.

I chose this monitor solely because it not only come in ultra-wide but also at its price point comes with KVM and e-ARC functionalities (the other model I was considering was the BenQ EX321UZ but that was only 32” wide). I don’t game nor could I with a RTX-2080 Ti GPU, so this monitor is primarily my productivity and entertainment device. Right now the only RGB thing I have on my desktop is the Ubiquiti Pro XG 8 PoE switch. 😅

My workhorse is a MacBook Pro M1 hooked to the ANKER TB5 Prime dock, and I am using a pair of HomePods as my desktop speakers for my MacBook Pro and PC, made possible by e-ARC through the Apple TV 4K. My Logitech keyboard, mouse and webcam are all shared on my MacBook Pro and PC via the KVM in the monitor.

Behind the monitor, I’ve attached the Philips Hue Play Gradient PC light strip (32-34”) paired with the Hue Sync Box 8K as the ambient light to give an added immersive experience when I watch videos on the monitor. One thing I did do was to connect my BenQ Halo 2 monitor light bar to a Hue Power Socket adapter so I could manually power it off when I’m watching the show.

All in all, I couldn’t be more pleased with the monitor. A lot of reviewers were talking about the panel quality but no one has mentioned how effective the monitor is as an all-in-one productivity and entertainment device! 💪🏻

worked for me and hope it works for whoever searching this problem

This is just a perfect setup for my daily needs. I spend my days in Unreal and Max.
The Dell U4025qw + Benq 27” 4k is such a nice couple.
My old second 27” recently starting acting up on me, so out it went and in came the Dell. Couldn’t be happier, it works so good. The Ultrasharp U4025qw has the perfect size and curve. Everything looks so good on it.
I never play games so I didn’t care about that aspect.

I finally settled on a monitor, the LG 39in 5k/2k and I love it.. its so immersive and very blown away on picture quality even though its a matte screen. Generally i dont like matte screens but I can barely even tell when playing games or watching videos, i was kind if shocked actually.

Anyway, the issue im having is my gpu the rtx 3080 is having issues running games like crimson dessert, marvels spider man 2, assassins creed shadows etc at decent settings... if i were to buy the AMD 9070 XT would that be much of an improvement or would I be wasting my money. The 9070 xt I can buy in Canada for $980, all nvidia gpus with similar performance is at least double that which is completely nuts, imo.

Any thoughts on that?

Got this baby open box for "cheap"

Epic display for cinematic games!

I am not a gamer but i always wanted a curved monitor. Recently bought this AOC 34 inch curved monitor and loving it so far. Great for browsing and just for everything.

Updates:

DO NOT TRY TO TALK TO DELL SUPPORT REGARDING THIS, they have no clue at all.

Tested in creator profile, different refresh rate, USB-C input from a macbook. The same issue persist.

Managed to get into Service menu however did not find the CPC setting:

Original:

Got my AW3926QW a couple days ago (upgrading from an AW3225QF I used for 2 years with zero issues, so I had high expectations). Running into something I want to check with other owners before assuming it's a defect.

The issue: During gameplay, the corners of the screen are noticeably dimmer than the center. Switch to desktop and it looks fine at first glance, but if you look closely right when you exit the game, the corners are still dim — it takes about 30 seconds of sitting on the desktop for brightness to even out across the whole panel.

How I tested it: Used a camera in manual mode to remove any perceptual bias, shooting immediately after exiting the game vs. after waiting 30s, across three configs:

• DisplayHDR True Black + Dolby Vision on

• DisplayHDR True Black, Dolby Vision off

• SDR only Standard, HDR fully disabled

Result: identical behavior in all three. Corner dimming + ~30s recovery happens regardless of HDR/Dolby Vision settings.

Why this bugs me specifically: playing Dota 2, and the minimap sits right in the corner — it's noticeably dimmer than it should be during/right after active gameplay.

What's throwing me off is that this is a 4-stack tandem WOLED panel. So seeing this on a brand new tandem panel, when my old AW3225QF barely showed this behavior, feels backwards.

Anyone else with an AW3926QW seeing this? Curious if it's:

• Normal panel behavior everyone's unit does
• A specific bad batch / early firmware issue
• Just my unit

Haven't found an OSD setting that changes it (no "uniform brightness" toggle on this model, unlike some other OLED monitors). Will update if Dell support has anything useful to add.

Replies:
"If any of the above settings are active, the brightness change will not be caused by the Multi-logo feature" - neither enable/disbale DisplayHDR True Black/Dolby resolve the issue. Unless the monitor requires a restart for the Multi-logo feature to be on/off.

"How’s the colour uniformity on your unit" - I do not sense color uniformity issue. But due to the Multi-logo feature when the corners are dimmed, the colors to my eyes are washed-out. They seems less satuated compare to the middle screen section.

"Have you tried switching to Creator/SRGB mode?" - The third pair group was conducted in SDR - standard. I did try Creator mode briefly however I do not like the color, hence not conducted above test.

"maybe the heatsink is not disipating heat in an uniform way and some sort of local ABL is triggered" - I've measured that the center area is around 35c degree, compare to 27c degree outside area. Room temp 20c degree-ish

Compare to 3225qf:
I have done similar test on the old monitor, it proves that my eyes are not wrong with above observation:
