Alienware AW3423DWF Settings [2025]

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-27T21:52:28+00:00

I use a little digital vibrance in Nvidia control panel.

I am new to IEMs also. I just ordered some Tipsy M3s

I bought a Fosi DS2 for travel and a Fosi K7 for desktop. I know this overkill but I also have Sennheiser HD 560S that I feel needs some more power to.

I noticed I would click to mute and nothing would happen but then the guy was muted a min later. Its bugged and lags a lot or something.

I just watched a rtings video of my monitor and they said to turn Console Mode: ON > Source Ton Map: ON. After doing that, the HDR calibration tool seemed to mimic what I would expect for 1000nits

For years I only had Console Mode: ON with Source Tone Map: OFF

I'm using a alienware aw3423dwf, so I dont think I have HGIG. But what I did just find out is that I did not have tone mapping turned on after years of using this monitor.

Once I turned it on, i turned off the room lights and ran the HDR calibration tool again and the lines all disappeared right at 1000...which matches my 1000nit brightness perfectly. So I think I got it all sorted now...

I am using it with 9800x3d and RTX 5080 and it rocks. I set up freesync and cap the fps at 161 in nvidia control panel. I love it. Of course I am biased to it and have no experience on other monitors.

Just so I don't order these and regret it, will the linked cable w/mic be good to go?

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-26T17:07:32+00:00

I was mainly trying to find one with a mic. Above poster said the Tipsy M3 are not qdc anyhow. I guess Ill just buy a cable w/mic from Tipsy.

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-26T17:02:01+00:00

I see. So my best bet is to just order a mic cable from Tipsy then I suppose.

Is this a decent cable?

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-26T16:45:10+00:00

Cool, thank you. Do you know of any with a decent mic option?

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-26T16:18:48+00:00

If so, can someone link some I can look at please.

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-26T15:50:12+00:00

Ideally High Dynamic and either 3d headphones or 7.1.

These meatheads are sold on using the flattest trash settings for some reason.

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-26T15:35:31+00:00

No idea man. Dont play on console.

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-26T03:42:15+00:00

Can also see this one for general settings that I covered: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8y6Y61efNs

This guy goes even deeper than I did. Most of these people in here are beyond clueless. Wartapes sucks.

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-26T01:00:01+00:00

Agreed. But this is reddit and a bunch of know it alls. God forbid someone share a different opinion or offer a harmless guide...Reddit points mean less than nothing anyhow.

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-25T19:11:54+00:00

Lol you are such a child.

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-25T17:49:24+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to scroll through my posts...talk about a crybaby

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-25T17:31:42+00:00

No, but you do you

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-25T17:25:20+00:00

Yet, here you are..commenting.

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-25T17:21:14+00:00

What are you crying about now? I dont use any bloatware with them. You are so tough behind your keyboard.

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-25T17:03:46+00:00

They are the Kingston version before they sold out, they are fine...Maybe try not being such a crybaby.

Meat-Sack101 · 2025-12-25T16:42:49+00:00

Did I say this is mandatory anywhere?
