  1. I JUST spoke with DELL regarding the Alienware 32 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor – AW3225QF

    I asked them about the packaging & the firmware updates!

    Here is the quote:

    "Both of your questions have been addressed by Dell. The packaging has been adjusted to reduce the chances of micro scratches, and newly shipped units come with the updated firmware"

  6. sorry but for $1200 and it has no audio output for console use, and no earc isnt the option. its another stupid design. wait for the asus 32 and the msi 32 oleds they will have audio outs for consoles

  9. I've got an M1 Max Macbook pro, how do you suggest I connect to this display. toget the full 240hz, as I don't have a 2.1 port on my mac? Maybe a thunderbolt converter to hdmi? And how did you calibate the display for the mac? Thanks!!

  10. I cant push 240 fps at 1080p for a large majority of games and then for mutiplayer i have to set most setting to medium or low to do it. Its becoming a pipe dream to keep up with the overpriced under performing cpu and GPU parts that are essentially outdated in less than 5 years. I will maybe build a final pc somewhere near 2025 but its just silly to think that to push 4k I would need to spend upwards of 3000 dollars before we even discuss the 1000 dollars for these monitors. Weird time for gamers as it seems they want to push people towards consoles for a much more accessible experience even if it comes with a lot of caveats.

  13. Did you have any flickering problem when connected to the Macbook Pro via HDMI? I have this monitor connected to the official Apple Dongle with HDMI, using the HDMI cable that came in with the monitor. The screen blinks from time to time, and the only thing to fix it is turning the monitor on and off. If the monitor goes back to sleep, and I wake it up, it flickers again, and only turning the monitor on and off again solves it. My Mac is the M1 Pro version though, so I'm getting 4k 60hz. I have no problem with this monitor on Windows 11 Pro (connected to a 4090 card).

  20. Do you like this new Alienware 4k 32" over last year's AW3423DW 34"? I'm guessing so, but I'd be curious of a comparison. I am torn on the two different monitors. Love both. The 4k for resolution, but the 34" for field of view when gaming. Ugh. Can't keep both!

  24. Edifier speakers!!! 🎉 I seen in some videos the display looks dim I really am interested in coming from an LG 32GQ950-B you think it’s worth the switch ? My display gets bright but I’m afraid of pulling the trigger.

  25. Still waiting for mine to ship, I decided to go with this one because its the only 4k 32" of the new OLEDs to be curved. When you use a curve display you never want to go back to flat.
