I've always had a fairly high opinion of Dell; yes, their prebuilts are and always have been overpriced garbage, but they've made and continue to make some of the best monitors on the market and every interaction I've had with their customer support over the years has been excellent.
The way...
My replacement came. The monitor itself was completely naked inside the box aside from some styrofoam. No protective covering on the screen, no foam bag, nothing, and the VESA adapters were loose just banging around inside the box up against the bottom of the monitor. If this thing isn't broken...
Just put in for my replacement. Support said that as long as your warranty is in effect, you are eligible for burn-in replacements. So if you get burn-in, get a replacement, and then the replacement gets burn-in, you can get another replacement and so on.
I legitimately don't understand how anyone uses this monitor in 1000 mode or doesn't notice ABL when using it. The ABL is constantly triggering in basically every movie or game I've tested it with, it is beyond distracting. TB400 is almost perfect.
Does anyone know if the amount of replacements for burn-in is limited or if you can get as many as necessary? I can't find the specific warranty for the monitor anywhere on Dell's site.
1. HDR on all the time so no control over brightness, contrast at default 75%.
2. No. I've been using it like any other monitor. I've made no effort to mitigate burn-in whatsoever, though I do use a hidden taskbar out of preference. It probably gets to do a complete refresh around 2-3 times a...
No. I don't notice it except on very dark scenes in games and it doesn't bother me very much, and I'm not 100% clear on how the panel refresh works so didn't want to put undue stress/wear on the rest of the pixels.
Yeah, it sucks because there isn't a "soft" disable for specific apps if you want to use windowed G-SYNC, the screen has to switch to G-SYNC off mode.
For example, I have it disabled for MPC-BE because movies/tv shows make it flicker like crazy, so whenever I fullscreen it, it has to switch...
I had a refresh reminder pop-up in the middle of a game one time after telling it not to do the pop-up notifications anymore, haven't had another one since then. I usually switch displays to my wall-mounted TV when I'm done for the day and Windows makes it go to sleep, at which point it'll do a...
It's hard to find actual response times for CRTs. According to this paper, a ViewSonic G90fB has a 0-255 response time of 0.58 ms and a 255-0 response time of 2.45 ms. According to this paper, a Mitsubishi RDF193H has a 0-255 response time of 150 μs and a 255-0 response time of 2 ms.
For a...
I have no idea. I had the same experience you did the first few days, and then for three or four days it was just constantly ramping up and down over and over all day long even with the monitor turned off.
Setting the brightness as low as it would go did nothing, turning HDR off did nothing. And...
Plenty of people complained, you forget what forum you're on. We had 60+ Hz refresh rates on CRTs before LCDs even existed. LCDs were a massive downgrade in basically every aspect when they originally came out and even today they're still inferior to CRTs in a lot of ways.
People thinking that...
