149 new this week, from owners and from around the web.
Two days into owning the AW3926QW, can see the edge uniformity issue only when looking for it, not in games or everyday use, and thinks the rest of the monitor makes it a great choice.
“Tbh i dont even notice it myself in any game or everyday usage, i can see it if i focus but seems to be acceptable level”
Went through several LG 39GX950B and AW3926QW units and each had banding, colour uniformity problems or damage; dislikes non-QD OLED and matte coatings and is back on a PG32UCDM3.
“Either there's terrible banding on them, color uniformity issues, or the unit itself was damaged. This is between both the LG39GX950B and the AW3926QW.”
A week in with the AW3426DW on a 5090: fantastic, apart from needing a Chrome fix for oversaturation; switches inputs between work and home machines with hotkeys.
“Just got mine a week ago. Hooked up to a 5090. It's fantastic.”
Tried the LG 38GL950G, 45GX950A and 39GX950B and the U4025QW over a year; the Dell was their favourite, used 80% for Mac productivity and 20% PC gaming, with a little ghosting coming from OLED that doesn't bother them.
“The Dell was my favorite by far, and it's what I'm using today. I absolutely love it. I use it for 80% productivity on my Mac, and 20% gaming on my PC.”
Owns the Neo G9 57-inch and finds games like Forza Horizon 6 and Destiny 2 look unreasonably good on it with settings maxed.
“Forza Horizon 6 has been consuming my life because of this display. It looks unreasonably good with all the options cranked.”
Returned their AW3926QW because of quality-control issues but loved the monitor overall, running it with a 5070 Ti and frame generation.
“I recently returned the AW3926QW because it had some QC issues but overall I loved the monitor.”
On their second LG 39GX950B, the cooling fan still makes a whine that is audible at a normal sitting distance.
“This is my 2nd unit already and it does the noise. I don’t even have to put my ear next to the vent to hear it. It’s audible at a normal distance.”
After returning an AW3926QW with QC issues, picked up the AW3426DW; amazing, but after 5K2K they missed the bigger screen and plan to return it.
“No doubt it’s amazing but after using the 5k2k, I was kinda disappointed as I missed the bigger screen”
After an AW3821DW and two AW3423DWs with flickering and burn-in, moved to the U4025QW and calls it maybe their best purchase ever.
“I had issues with the OLED monitor, including flickering and burn-in. So I decided to move back to IPS and an Ultrasharp model.”
Uses the Neo G9 57-inch for productivity on a 55-inch desk; needed a desk mount to push it back and still feels heat on their face, and an FPS game made them dizzy within minutes.
“It's ridiculously big. I use mine for productivity. I played a FPS game once with it and got dizzy AF after few minutes, never again.”
Their first AW3926QW had atrocious edge dimming; the September 2026 replacement is far better, with only faint green tint on all-white images, and has been rock solid.
“My first panel was atrocious for the edge dimming, especially viewing an all-white or all-orange image. Returned it for a replacement and the new one is way better.”
Has used both the LG 39-inch 5K2K and the Alienware 39; the LG's brightness and pop in bright HDR scenes stand out, the matte finish was a non-issue, though reds looked a little off and it lacks the glossy screen's inky blacks.
“The brightness and pop can’t be overstated.”
Replaced a first-gen QD-OLED with the AW3426DW and finds colour very nice, especially with Dolby Vision, and lines and text much crisper.
“The lines and text is much crisper than the first gen qd dot I replaced.”
Owns the Dell U4025QW and finds its colour and detail excellent.
“I have the Dell U4025wq and it’s absolutely blissful in color and detail.”
Bought the Neo G9 57-inch at launch and returned it because of how much heat it gave off.
“I had one of those when it released in the summer. My face is still read from heat burns from the amount of heat it puts out. I returned it because of that.”
After a couple of weeks with the AW3926QW: CPC dimming never showed in HDR gaming but was very noticeable at low brightness on white documents at first, since less so; off-axis gamma shift is noticeable but not annoying.
“I never noticed the CPC issue during HDR gaming. But initally for work where I use low brightness it was very noticeable.”
Enjoying the AW3426DW: great text clarity and much brighter HDR than earlier OLEDs they've used; uses HDR True Black 500.
“I’ve been enjoying it a lot so far. Text clarity is great, and the overall brightness in hdr is way better than previous oleds i’ve used.”
Bought both the U4025QW and the AW3926QW; the Dell's matte finish handled reflections better, its brightness was easier to tune with no hotspots, and the candle-light mode is very comfortable on the eyes.
“IPS brightness was way better and easier to tune with no hotspots in the center. Candle light feature makes it ultra comfortable on the eyes”
Recently bought the Neo G9 57-inch and still thinks it's great, but it runs hot enough that they keep a desk fan on it to move the heat away from their hands.
“I got it recently but I have to have a fan pointed at it to circulate the heat away from my hands.”
Tried the AW3926QW and the discolouration at the sides was bad enough that grey and white chat messages looked the same; returning it within the return window.
“the discoloration is bad enough on the sides that I can't see the color difference between grey and white colored chat messages.”
Their AW3426DW's control board failed after three days: the OSD kept opening and scrolling on its own, then stopped responding; they ordered a replacement.
“had the AW3426DW for 3 days before there was a control board failure”
Owns both the U4025QW and the AW3926QW; can't get the Dell's IPS brightness dialled in comfortably and finds its matte finish more noticeable than the Alienware's gloss with a light behind the monitor.
“I also I found that the IPS panel is too bright for me, I still can’t dial that in correctly”
Bought the Neo G9 57-inch open box nearly two years ago and it has been perfectly fine with the 2.0/2.1 firmware update; used it for work, now only for gaming, and sometimes wishes it were OLED.
“I got this monitor open box on Black Friday for $780 nearly two years ago and still can’t believe my luck.”
Only notices the AW3926QW's edge dimming on a plain white browser after staring hard; in games, including World of Warcraft with UI at the edges, everything looks perfect.
“If I am in a game I have tried my darnedest to see it and just do not.”
