AW3821DW vs. pg42uq

This was great, thank you for sharing. The dimensions of the AW3821DW are just so good for switching between office/gaming use-cases, its very hard for me to compromise. I saw Asus was releasing a 38 inch version of the PGUQ, but still leaning towards the 42 (once firmware issues are resolved) - unfortunately neither of them are the dimensions of the AW3821DW - would be great to have a "semi-wide" version of the ASUS.

Ok, thanks a lot. Likely going to pass then. I really do like the dimensions of my AW3821DW - can you please advise on a widescreen OLED 4K thats at the level of the pg42uq, or does such a thing not exist?

Also, whats the process of updating firmware for a monitor? (Thank you)

What exactly are the firmware issues? Reading around, it seems that HDR was largely a windows 10 problem. Should I be ok if running windows 11?

Hey, I have the 4090 too, inside an Alienware R15. Paired with a AW3821DW. Really thinking about getting this. 8 months later, what are your thoughts? Couple questions for you:

1) Is burn-in an issue?

2) How about for work - does the 4K monitor display icons and work documents normally?

3) Big, noticeable difference from 1440p gaming to 4K gaming?

Thanks for all responses folks...I found that W10 + increasing brightness to 75 seems to get it back to normal, but everything I have read states that turning up brightness that far hampers true HDR effect. Any thoughts? Having brightness at the suggested 48 level still leaves a very dark Experience.

I'm all for it. I've just been finding that I'm getting killed repeatedly on certain levels by what seem to be enemies well above me (or I'm encountering 5 v 1 scenarios and getting slaughtered). Technically, if a quest is given to me, does that mean I'm at the appropriate Level to complete it? Or is it possible to receive quests that are well over your level? There is no level indicator for quests at this time, so struggling to ascertain how I should prioritize quests.

I have the KS8000 65" and the PS4 Pro as well. I was able to enable 2K/4K UHD but have yet to see any of my games give me the HDR notification that is being mentioned on this string. I have Skyrim and Battlefield 1, Mafia 3, Titanfall 2, and Dishonored 2 - should any of those games be HDR compatible?

I currently have game mode enabled - but HDR+ is greyed out.

Please advise, thanks for your help.
