Well I hope at least Neo G9 referesh that is coming later this year is a cheaper price at launcher due to this monitor. I like the idea of QD OLED but Neo G9 2022 refresh could tempt otherwise. Oooooooooof too hard.
Alienware 34 Curved QD-OLED Gaming Monitor

Unless we're looking at different things, that text isn't on the screen itself, as you can see the A95K's top bezel beneath it.
Yeah but they're pointing a phone flash at it point blank, which is causing the material behind the glass to reflect. Do that with a regular OLED and it's not going to be pure black either.
Not a single review of the A95K I've seen says anything other than that the blacks are basically flawless and the grey is only when the panel is off.
Definitely a bunch of interesting monitors coming out this year. I'm absolutely in the market for a new one to replace my CRG9, but no idea yet which I'm going to pick. I'm pretty curious about the Samsung Odyssey Ark as well. Either OLED or a high end mini-LED are a given though. I just can't stomach regular LCD black levels anymore.
Really want OLED if no burn in for productivity or Mini LED. Also rather stay 1440p for the foreseeable future. Gonna wait for reviews, but I really want to upgrade from my current screen.
If it's just when the panel is off that you get the grayish black panel (as was said like plasma TVs) then it isn't that big a deal. Clean black when off looks ace, though. As long as pure black is displayed perfectly when the panel is on that's all that really matters.
a chinese review of it, the auto generated english subs are surprisingly decent
unfortunately, he echoes the sub par text rendering reports
"Yes,the red and green pixel was definitely appear to some APP's edge and Text performance is not as good as I thought it should be, might because of Mac HiDPI was unable to tweak on. But i was so disappointed about Text performance , I feel a little bit dizzy and sick when i am typing something for a long time by this monitor"
threw this comparison together from the reddit post above

Isn't macOS known to have issues with 1440p displays though because it doesn't consider it high res enough for its HiDPI mode? Pretty sure you still need 3rd party tools to get around that.

The subpar text performance due to the unique pixel structure isn't ideal, but I'm hoping it's something that's hard to notice at normal viewing distances. And if black text on white background is the worst of it, I'm willing to look past that for literally everything else hopefully being best in class for a monitor.
I just want to be done with poor LCD/LED IPS image quality once and for all. We finally have a legit OLED gaming monitor ya'll. At an affordable price too wtf.

Plus it's supposedly brighter than the oled tv counterparts which is huge. There is no perfect tv/monitor and they all have there pitfalls but this looks to be a step up from where we were in the monitor world. The price though leads me to believe that competition is finally going to be ramping up in this sector, finally…

what the heck
Yeah that's fair, I shared before reading properly, I thought there were pics of a personal set but clearly not. Sorry, false alarm! I'll edit the post.

Wild, took a chance on this. Appreciate the heads up!
Ordered it as well. Paid for the 2 day shipping (to get it shipped before they start cancelling lol) already got order confirmation.

Also reads like someone that wrote it up based on information found elsewhere.
Comparison between the QD-OLED and an LG LCD ultrawide. The black level and color difference is massive, plus no more backlight bleed!

well fuck me, jumped in.
let's gooo
Interesting. I had placed an order with the original listing (at MSRP) and got a quick (within 20 minutes) order confirmation. I placed another today at the much cheaper price, but haven't yet received a confirmation. The discount was too steep to not try, so we'll see if either order plays out but I figure it should be easy to return one should I end up with two. Getting it at MSRP is not something I'd be unhappy about, but $300+ off is of course no joke either. Hope people in here get lucky either way!
I am giving this attempt a try. I am fully expecting a cancellation email, so I'm not let down.
Just did the same, but got a feeling this might get cancelled.
If not. Hell yeah.
I just cancelled my other one. At least I tried. Lol they will probably just end up cancelling both now 😂
Gah I want to get this, but all I play is Elden Ring and it apparently doesn't support ultrawide :(
In offline mode you can use Flawless Widescreen to fix UW. Not great, but I played Sekiro offline, so this should be fine (for me).

As much as I love my current AW3418DW monitor, IPS glow and bleed are the biggest issues I have with it, so this should be a very big improvementComparison between the QD-OLED and an LG LCD ultrawide. The black level and color difference is massive, plus no more backlight bleed!
Placed an order as well, we'll see if they actually keep it lol. Atm, I could go 50/50 either way, since this was a total impulse buy BUT I was in the market to replace my current one that's starting to get Horizontal lines...
