The first results of the UFO test on the new QD OLED monitor have appeared online and... it's pretty good! (At least, for non-strobbing)
Check it out:

(The top line is at 175hz. I'm fairly sure this is the best non-strobbing results we've ever seen)

Alienware 34 QD-OLED UFO Test
Re: Alienware 34 QD-OLED UFO Test
Could of improve tracking and use different camera shutter setting, but it does the job.
Here's another one, a simulation. Look pretty much the same.

Does that mean this monitor could hold its own in an esports environment? If someone wants a single monitor that can also be used for competitive games as well as a good experience in other apps
Or is input lag higher on this monitor?

There is a chance it has some additional processing latency, but don't take my word for it. Wait for TFTCentral, HUB or RTINGS review first.

Re: Alienware 34 QD-OLED UFO Test
I received my AW3423DW a week or so ago and the monitor works great in eSports titles. I have an AW2521H 360hz and a Viewsonic XG2431 240hz to compare it to and this monitor feels great to play on. I really only play Competitive FPS games, but wanted to try the new QD-OLED tech so I picked it up.
The PC Gamer article doesn't show any latency tests so not sure how much they can be trusted. If I was practicing for LAN tournaments then I wouldn't use 21:9 to begin with and would stick to 16:9 360hz displays. If you play CS:GO or Valorant, you're better off using 16:9 displays IMO.
Also, I played with BFI enabled on the AW2521H and Viewsonic XG2431 and the latency seems to be about the same as the AW3423DW.

Re: Alienware 34 QD-OLED UFO Test
Curious how HDR 10bit 144hz compares vs. HDR 8bit+frc 175hz.
Re: Alienware 34 QD-OLED UFO Test
Nice, yes I have the exact same AW2521H 360hz and I ordered the AW3423DW because I wanted to see... I'm glad they are both viable options. I was worried that the drop would be too significant. Can't wait to try out the 34" QD OLED (but sadly, I must wait almost 1.5 months)Boop wrote: ↑16 Mar 2022, 19:06I received my AW3423DW a week or so ago and the monitor works great in eSports titles.
