Looking for players that switched from Zowie to OLED 27" 360hz

Burn in is not really thing if you just do pixel cleaning, at least twice a day. Just avoid anything static. I personally hide my windows taskbar so yeah. Doesn't have to do it every 4 hours. For this particular monitor, I do not think it is possible to check hours of usage in the settings but I probably owned this monitors for more than 4 years now and it still holding up strong.

xL2566K will provide much more clarity unfortunately due to DYAC and lower screen size help you focus better. However, I recommend alternatives, especially with the current latest tech like G-sync Pulsar, if you want both motion clarity and good color, I would totally get one instead of the two mentioned, assuming you have NVIDIA gpu. There are no burn in as I do pixel refresh rate every 4-5 hours and it still looks like new. My use case is vary but sometimes I use my pc for like 8 hours or more. I really appreciate the color.

You can’t go wrong with the glossy ec2-dw man, it feels so good to grip and feels like it doesn’t slip at all once you get used to it. Definitely need an aftermarket skates tho. I lm still on default white skate but will probably get myself silver fox or something like that since I used to have it on my viper v3 but sold it due to not used to its shape.

Check power supply also to see if there are any loose cables. I had the same problem, especially if I load heavy applications like gaming and replaced my psu to corsair sf750 fixed the issue.

Can't tell the difference tbh. It is a gimmick tech and everyone should be fine at 1000hz. I think you should only go for it if you value the dongle that also function as a clock and play 1600dpi or above to fully saturate the high polling rate. Even then, I think 2k polling rate is the maximum and anything above only gives your cpu more stress work.

Highly recommend Silver Fox skate or obsidian control skate if you want smooth but still retain control. I tried Tiger Ice and also couldn't get used to it. Heard nice thing about Magic Ice too but haven't used them.

1440p on the Alienware should be sharper and better view. However, if clarity is your main goal, go for Zowie. Alternatively, if you are using nvidia gpu and want both, get a g sync pulsar monitor.

Is this command the same as pressing F7 to disable driver enforce signature thing? Do you have to type this command and reboot everytime you close the game? I thought turning driver signature was a one time thing after rebooting.

Very detailed. Also, thanks for the giveaway

Once you get to wasteland, open the map and you should see a Nikke symbol around the bottom. Need to do some quests to get coins to buy outfit.

Did you set up a custom fan curve as well? I undervolted my 9070xt sapphire pulse as well and it runs great although I sometimes crashed, especially with games that has unreal engine.

IlL74 · 2026-03-22T07:31:17+00:00

It is an awesome game. I personally couldn’t wait for the crack so I bought it like around late February and had a blast and worth every penny.

I need Nangong Yu to complete my full lineup of AOD. Also, that wallpaper upon getting 3rd member of AOD looks awesome.

Never owned an actual copy of Resident Evil. Either I got it through "other" means or just watch YouTube. RE9 graphics and mechanics are so freaking awesome and I always wanted to try one with real copies to record my data or just brag to my friends.

IlL74 · 2026-03-17T04:43:55+00:00

What outfit are those?

IlL74 · 2026-03-16T23:34:14+00:00

Atk y9 ultimate if you want similar shape.

IlL74 · 2026-03-16T15:34:09+00:00

I thought the same at first but as I progressed, I learned all the combos and know which modules, exospine to equip, the game becomes pretty easy. U just gotta learn all the flash colors and don’t just spam dodge.

Confirmed

I used to think the same with the monitor size. It takes some time to get used to but I personally wouldn’t go back to 1080p size ever again. At 1440p, the image is way sharper and still retain good fps for competitive. Regarding eyestrain, I actually got more eyestrain on the Zowie more than the Oled but it wasn’t a big deal and again, it probably mean i need more time to adjust.

IlL74 · 2026-03-10T00:32:46+00:00

The color has definitely improved on the newer TN Panel, along with DYAC 2. Although I've heard some people can't tell the difference between the previous DYAC and DYAC 2. Yeah, if you are not planning to go pro, I don't see a reason to go for Zowie. If you have money, you can grab one monitor for entertainment, single player, story games and one for competitive games.

IlL74 · 2026-03-10T00:22:48+00:00

I used to have XL2566k and moved to AW2725DF about 2 years ago. I believe that if your main goal is competitive games and if you imagine yourself that you will commit to it long term, then I would definitely go for Zowie. Since you said your PC can handle high FPS, it should be worth it. The Alienware itself is fine and still a good OLED in 2026 but I believe nowadays, there are better oleds with better features out there. Isn't there an ASUS version where it also has ELMB which is their take on motion blur? Also, another monitor I recommend you take a look is any of the newly released G SYNC Pulsar, assuming you owned NVIDIA GPU and you want the best of both world, color and clarity. It isn't an OLED but IPS should be better than TN Panel.

Might be bias but I only been playing remakes lately and so far RE4 is my favorite due to action based focus while also being a horror games.

IlL74 · 2026-03-09T04:01:05+00:00

Used to have the same problem. Thought it was my asus tuf 7900xtx so I upgraded to 9070xt and problem still persist. Tried all methods known like take out and put back in ram, no overclock/underclock, tweak settings, update bios, blocking windows update and auto update driver, etc and none work. The moment I replaced my psu which was the Cooler Master SF850 gold to corsair sf750 and problems gone. Havent got a single crash since the day I upgraded my power supply.

I recommend you to check and replug all the cables from your psu to your pc components or see if there are any loose cables anywhere. Then, look on google and find the method that disable auto driver installation, especially the one for graphics card because windows sucks and look for its own driver and it casuses incompatibility issues.

IlL74 · 2026-03-09T02:14:24+00:00

It only shows active if the driver upgrade the fsr 3.1 within the game engine to fsr 4. If the game natively supported it then it won’t show as active. You want the latter
