I'm in the process of acquiring two of the ones I linked before, but I don't have them yet or an ETA. I currently run two of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DWD38VX/ - and I got where I like the curve, but two 34s is a bit much for what I find myself doing these days.
I like the monitors, but the PPI increase from 4k resolution and the contrast increase from OLED are why I am upgrading. The Alienware is literally the monitor I've been waiting on for years. Window position is indeed a problem, related to DisplayPort deep sleep. I have my monitors set to never turn off to avoid the issue, however, I'm still running W10 - W11 supposedly addresses this problem. You wouldn't want them on full-time with OLEDs for sure. -----Original Message----- From: Hardware <[email protected]> On Behalf Of _ Winterlight Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2024 11:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [H] curved monitors yeah, that was my first thought but I am leery of spending a grand+ for something that will fail in 3-5 years. Are you using an OLED curve? I am mostly interested in how you like using a large curved monitor. I have a three monitor setup. My current setup...before the big one broke was a 32 in the middle and two 28 inch on the side all DELL. One of the problems with this setup is maintaining window position and desktop when the power is turned off and on. I am guessing this would not be an issue with one huge monitor. Are you living with a single large monitor....are you happy with it? Are there downsides I am unaware of? ________________________________ From: Hardware <[email protected]> on behalf of Greg Sevart <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2024 6:31 AM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [H] curved monitors One word: OLED. https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/alienware-32-4k-qd-oled-gaming-monitor-aw3225qf/apd/210-blmq/monitors-monitor-accessories -----Original Message----- From: Hardware <[email protected]> On Behalf Of _ Winterlight Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2024 7:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [H] curved monitors I am in the market for a new monitor. My last two primary monitors have been very expensive high end monitors intended for graphics professionals. They only seem to last for 3 to five years while my inexpensive monitors go on year after year. So no more high end monitors. I have always used multiple monitors but am now considering one very large curved Ultra HD monitor. Anybody have any thoughts or experience with these...comments, advice warnings? <w>
