the MBP minileds are by all accounts great which makes the Studio Display head scratching

Keep an eye out for the stand/case the portable monitor comes with - many of them use a tablet style case that doubles as a stand and don’t work well in practice

PIP/PBP and KVM would make it feature richer than the Alienware

is there a reason why HDR shows up as an option when I hook up my M1 macbook air via HDMI on my Thunderbolt dock but not when I use a USB-C hub? Both do 3440x1440@100hz

The odyssey ark seems more interesting if you want a huge monitor at your desk I don’t see how using a TV as a monitor works

i've had it for a couple months hooked up to my desktop as well as my m1 macbook air via a thunderbolt 4 dock pretty happy with it - both for gaming and work (coding). i may have noticed some of the text fringing issues when i first switched from my Acer 27" Predator IPS but i don't notice any issues now

i've finally found a use case for the USB hubs that come default with most monitors these days - plugging my bluetooth and 2.4 adapters into the monitor hub seems to extend the range versus having them plugged into a mini PC

is there any performance hit with running a 2nd portable monitor via USB-C (presumably alt-display)? i just remembered i had a 16" Asus portable monitor and have hooked it up on top of my QD-OLED main it's been sitting in storage since i used to use 2x27" but this seems to be a good secondary monitor now that i'm on a single 34"

i switched from 2x27 to a 34 UW for WFH/gaming and i've had no issues with screen sharing on calls the issue for me is that 34" is a downgrade from 2x27" and you lose the ability to have one of the monitors in portrait for long form text/code

24" in portrait would probably have been the sweet spot but an overly tall (27") portrait monitor is easier to deal with than a too short one and i guess this is very much ymmv but i find it easier to look at two windows arrayed vertically than horizontally (e.g., code + terminal). shrike82 fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Oct 18, 2022 |

i looked into the 7-9 inch monitors for the same reason and they unfortunately seem to be mostly mini-HDMI + USB (for power) would've preferred a single USB-C setup

It's odd that there aren't any 38" OLEDs 32" monitors aren't great for productivity,, I'd feel like I'd need two for side by side stuff

i still regularly get hit with a "wow" moment using a (QD)-OLED monitor it's not just for media consumption - having my IDE set to pitch dark mode and seeing code backgrounded by perfect blacks is neat

Ran into an odd bug with my Alienware QD-OLED where g-sync stopped working (didn't show up as a feature on nvidia control panel) and I had to power cycle the monitor to get it working again It was a good reminder at how bad tearing is without g-sync because I was playing Dead Island 2 and the tearing was incredibly noticeable even with a 120fps average frame rate

Is it normal for HDR to go wonky when exiting a HDR game in Windows? I've noticed that the screen gets dimmer and I'll have to turn the HDR windows setting off and on. Not always but enough to be annoying On the alienware qd-oled

has anyone side-graded from 34" to 32"? the new alienware 32" 4k oled looks to be an interesting upgrade from my current alienware UW

Just "upgraded" from the Alienware 34 qd-oled to the 32 qd-oled and it's a mixed change. the higher res does make stuff look sharper but the nature of windows scaling makes it feel like i've lost a lot of screen real estate

the dolby vision implementation on the alienware 32 oled is bizarre - i'm running into issues playing netflix hdr videos full-screen where the monitor jumps in and out of DV mode looking online, it looks like there's a firmware on the way to toggle DV but a PITA until then

another oddity with the alienware 32, relative to the 34, is the "shared" brightness being a lot more obvious. just having a browser open side-by-side with a video player will have the browser brighten and dim in reverse to the video

The main constraint is that the most common ultrawide form factor is 34" and you tend to lose a fair bit of pixel height with that. The other quirk is depending on your desk space, you might end up with the ultrawide setup so you're staring at the middle of two side-by-side windows. Might be less comfortable than the standard multi monitor where you're staring straight at one monitor/window
