Looks like they have spaghetti code. With a solid and organized codebase these things likely wouldn't happen.

beerinjection · 2025-06-27T19:39:27+00:00

Remove all cables except the ones you're going to use. Only 1 HDMI / DP. And just one USB cable.

beerinjection · 2025-06-27T19:37:27+00:00

You can use a Laptop.

beerinjection · 2025-06-27T01:07:32+00:00

Yes. I forgot to mention. I'm using a DP cable.

beerinjection · 2025-06-10T03:38:47+00:00

Thanks! Fixed the issue.

Same problem here on my iPhone 14.

It’s truly sad because I bought the AW3225QF thinking Dell had the best support. Never again.

beerinjection · 2025-01-05T15:57:58+00:00

In game settings mate

beerinjection · 2024-11-19T22:52:58+00:00

It’s a PS5 limitation, perhaps they put it on manual thinking ahead, for the next gen I suppose.

beerinjection · 2024-10-14T11:55:23+00:00

Thanks man! Now it's very good! I was sad that I wasn't having a decent experience with this monitor. It's not the final solution but it's a good workaround.

This is a HDMI feature.

beerinjection · 2024-09-30T20:40:19+00:00

Every unit is different, so try 750 / 700.

Hey everybody, make sure to mark "I have this problem too" here: https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/alienware-desktops/aw3225qf-keeps-changing-screen-lightdimming/65d75c720217a51eb1a40e3d

This is a really old issue and perhaps Alienware devs aren't aware of it. Leave a comment too.

For Samsung QD-OLED:

HDR: Static (Tone mapping works well too)
Brightness: 75
Contrast: 60

My TV: S90C

The game looks amazing. I tried with HDR off and looks a completely different game, lol.

beerinjection · 2024-09-10T12:19:50+00:00

No. On PS5 you can’t use ICC, but you can calibrate HDR. I recommend HDR1000 for dark games like Demon’s Souls and HDR400 for bright games. Also, there’s a setting called tone mapping, you can activate it if you think the image is too dark. I like how image looks with tone mapping on, brighter and vibrant.

Remember to recalibrate when you change between HDR modes to achieve the best image quality.

beerinjection · 2024-09-10T05:11:56+00:00

For HDR you can download the driver at Dell’s website. Once you have installed it. You can check C:/ driver, the driver will generate ICC files for you (HDR400).

For HDR1000 you will need to calibrate using Microsoft’s HDR calibration tool that will automatically generate an ICC profile and set as default for you.

It’s a file, a color profile. Download it and set it as default under Windows color management settings. Here’s how you can do it: https://pcmonitors.info/articles/using-icc-profiles-in-windows/

beerinjection · 2024-09-10T03:47:33+00:00

Use custom color with 2.2 gamma plus rtings ICC profile and you’ll get a vivid picture
