However, bright light sources distort the reflections, as you can see in the bottom photo, and bright light sources affect the monitor's performance. It handles dim light sources well, and unlike other glossy screens, there aren't any distracting reflections from strong light sources. In theory, the Dell AW3423DW has incredible reflection handling. The results are from the 'HDR Peak 1000' HDR Mode, but if the strong ABL bothers you, use the 'HDR 400 True Black' mode, which has less variation in brightness and a smoother roll-off at the max brightness, but small highlights aren't as bright: The test is with an 18% window, and you can see the different EOTFs for various window sizes below: However, the EOTF changes depending on the window size, as it's a slower roll-off with smaller highlights. It also displays most highlights at their correct brightness until the sharp roll-off at the peak brightness, resulting in a loss of fine details with really bright highlights. However, this issue is only distracting in the desktop, and it's not a problem with videos or games.Īlthough the real scene brightness is closer to the 10% brightness, small highlights still get bright in real content.
The brightness visibly changes when minimizing and maximizing windows on the desktop, and it's so obvious that it looks like the screen is adjusting its brightness setting. It gets bright enough to make really small highlights pop, but the brightness doesn't remain consistent with larger-sized highlights due to the Automatic Brightness Limiter (ABL). The Dell AW3423DW has decent HDR brightness.
The subpixel arrangement isn't very noticeable with the correct settings, and there are workarounds available. We adjusted our Text Clarity text based on our latest findings. We added the Dell Alienware AW3423DWF to the Sizes and Variants section of the review.Įxpanded on details for the workaround to improve text clarity. We bought and tested the Sony 42 A90K OLED, and added a few relevant comparisons to the review. We've added a few relevant comparisons so you can see how they compare. It works at both 60Hz and 120Hz, but there are black bars on both sides, as the PS5 doesn't support an ultrawide aspect ratio. We tested this monitor for compatibility with the PS5's1440p resolution.
Clarified the differences between this monitor and the newly-reviewed Dell Alienware AW3423DWF in the Variants section.
