AW3226Q

A first-time OLED owner upgrading from a 10-year-old IPS says the Alienware AW3226Q has not blown them away: HDR makes Windows look washed out, colours don't pop without it, and the settings are overwhelming.

“I don’t want to say I am having buyer's remorse, I am sure there's a sweet spot to get this running better, but I am upgrading from a 10 year old IPS monitor and just expecting more.”

Their new AW3226Q was dead on arrival (power LED blinking SOS); Dell arranged an exchange via email support.

“TLDR: if the power button blinks red, spells sos in Morse code (...---...) it has hardware problem.”
