There are good “glossy” AR coatings that are not matte and like another poster mentioned are used on high end Samsung TVs, that let you have your cake and eat it too. Never seen it used on a monitor though..

The OP said they have a 980 as backup.

Dell has several warranty levels from depot service to advanced exchange. Not sure what their monitors come with by default now but it’s worth reading the fine print. The “good” warranties are very good.

Interestingly, when Samsung flew out Linus from LTT to show them QD OLED I’m pretty sire I heard him say the monitor they used to show off QD OLED was the Alienware. Hopefully that means it’s pretty solid for a press outing.

OK, but these monitors have “ROG Swift” branding and probably won’t be a “banger of a deal”.

Didn’t Linus stack two super curved monitors one above the other? IMHO you end up with something a lot like a single 49” normal aspect ratio monitor in that case just a little taller/ higher res. I think for dual monitor ultra wide monitors make little sense (not that you can’t do it) but...

Why not extend the AC end? Taking apart the adapter or messing with a dc extender seems like a lot of hassle and risk when AC extension cords are common and safe.

Does it feel like it’s skipping frames in a smooth scroll in an actual game? It should be quite obvious.

Same here re: DP cable - running this at 4k144. I also used a HDMI 2.1 connection for testing but disconnected it after a bit, since I need the HDMI output for a second display.

The quietest keyboards will be like the Logitech above using rubber dome or scissor type switches as you see in most laptops . Not my favorite but some people flat out prefer them. To each their own.

You could also try increasing FoV in game since that is something you’re used to at a certain size. A slightly higher FOV may make it feel like you “zoomed out” a little.

I had this exact monitor new and used it for years. At some point the higher resolutions don’t look that great due to dot pitch, going by memory.

Nvidia supports FSR-like upscaling at the driver level without direct game support now for non DLSS games.

I thought I read they were doing away with the FB account requirement.

Nice impressions and details - thanks guys.
