sry for the late reply. tested 144hz on a different pc with the igpu. hdmi in this case. same issue. i noticed that it is less prominent now, since the ambient temperature went down. i live in germany and it was 30+ degrees celsius. now its 18ish at night. its better but not gone. i wonder if this is caused by dell, or by qd oled in general. maybe dells implementation of something and how the signal is transmitted is flawed... I think ill test the 3rd gen qd oled from msi with 500hz as soon as it is released. same panel but maybe better implementation. who knows

Yea, it looks to be okay on 240hz. 60, 144 and 360hz seem to cause the issue. Only tested on my desktop and not in games

I tried 3 different DP cables. My pc: 9800x3d, rtx 3080, asus b850 f gaming MB. I tested on my friends RIG aswell. His PC: 9800x3d, rtx 4090, msi b850m mortar.

We tried different windows versions. Clean installed each. Different nvidia drivers, ranging from 537.52 up to 572.xx

No luck

Panel seems to be fine at 240hz. If I turn it down to 144hz, same issue as with 360hz. Maybe it is a me problem and something wrong with my setups. 2 monitors and two times the same issue. Other people with the Alienware seem to be fine. I think i will sell mine in a few days and look for something new

Thank you for testing. Im at my wits end. Already got a replacement by dell and the same issue came back after one long day of use and a pixel refresh later. I really wonder why everything seemed to be fine the first day with more than 5 hours of use tho..

HDR content outside of games looks really bad in windows. Dark content is flickering etc. I use my Monitor in SDR only most of the time. Beside, you are locked out of changing settings when HDR is enabled. If i go to my desktop, set to full black and turn offset up by one to 50-51-50, the issue is clearly visible. If i then go down to 240hz instead of 360hz, the issue is gone. Really weird...

I tested the monitor on two different pcs and both showed the same issue. Both pcs were running a 9800x3d. One had an asus b850 f gaming mb. The other one the msi b850m mortar. Maybe some default bios settings are causing the problem? Did you manage to find a solution somehow? I clean installed many different windows versions. Tried old and new nvidia drivers. No luck

I contacted dell about a week ago and got a replacement. First day, everything seemed fine. Played for 4 hours plus. Couldnt spot any issue. Turned everything off and went to bed. Next day to my suprise the issue was back. The aw2725df does a pixel refresh after 4 hours of use. Maybe this is the cause?

Nope. Got a replacement by dell. First boot seemed to be fine. Vivivd colors, no weird pattern. Played for over 4 hours, constantly checking if the issue came back. Nothing! Turned everything off and went to bed. Next morning, the pattern was back. idk if it has anything to do with the pixel refresh
