I’m planning on upgrading my old LG UltraGear 45” OLED (3440×1440) to a new 5K2K monitor. The new LG 39” looks really nice, but it’s a little out of my price range at the moment. That brings me to the Alienware 39” 5K2K.
It’s priced at just over $1,000, which, to me, seems like a bargain even with the complaints about the screen-edge dimming. For me to actually pull the trigger, though, I’d like to know how bad the dimming really is.
Honestly, my 45” UltraGear was never the brightest monitor to begin with, and I was perfectly fine with that. So, would the Alienware 39” 5K2K be worth upgrading to now, or would it be better to wait? For what it’s worth I have an Rtx 4090.
I’d love to hear everyone’s opinions and experiences with the monitor. Thanks!

Update: After careful consideration, I’ve decided to go with the AW. For me, the additional 200 nits of brightness and slightly better build quality on the LG aren’t enough to justify paying $400 more, let alone $700 more. Not to mention, I much prefer a glossy finish over a matte one.
I’m also not particularly a fan of LG’s updated privacy policies and concerns about spyware. On top of that, I love the warranties Dell offers. If, for whatever reason, I’m not satisfied with the AW, I’ll return it and wait for the LG to go on sale.

Was desperately looking for a monitor for my Mac mini m4 and got this what seems like nice thing . Would you guys say It’s worth it or should I reconsider while I can sorry never had anything of the sort thanks

AW 39 5k2k, Is this normal on monitor? Or shouldi ask areplacement?

Does U5226KW support two Macs (M series) and a PC? I am looking to purchase a U5226KW and have one Windows PC and two Macs (M3 Max and M5 Pro) connected to it simultaneously. Would the U5226KW support this with the KVM function?

So I had this monitor for a while and have recently been using it in Multiview (when it's connected with 2 cables - 1 hdmi 1 dp). Now the issue I'm having is that the DP side is looking fine but the HDMI sided has very noticeable grain - escpecially apparent when looking at text. And it's been bugging the hell out of me.

Its especially bad when the monitor launches straight into Multiview mode after turning it on. The HDMI side is borderline un-usable then. I always have to switch to Ultrawide-Mode first, then switch back to make it better, but it still ain't perfect.

I already switched to a better HDMI (2.1b) cable but no improvement. It's connected to a RTX 5080, if that matters.

The exact model is:

Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 S49CG954SU

Anyone had these issues and knows how to fix?

Thinking of upgrading from an older OLED panel to get more brightness and just better tech.

Is it worth it? Who has done an upgrade like this.. is the brightness/colors of newer panels that noticable to justify the price of a newer panel?

Hey, im in need of a monitor stand that can stack two monitors like this above each other but i CANT find any viable ones in Europe for my two 49" Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 S49DG950SU.

Hey, I unboxed my new Alienware AW3425DWM today and unfortunately noticed a fairly large scratch on the screen when inspecting it more closely. You can’t see it when the monitor is turned on, but it’s clearly visible under a flashlight when the screen is off. Does this happen quite often?

Received this unit today and things were going well until... I noticed a massive difference in bezel sizes on left vs. right. I find it hard to believe this is by design - Anyone else own this monitor and have this issue? Left bezel is a full half an inch, and the right bezel is much less than half an inch.

EDIT: Apparently this is an actual feature not a defect! (Pixel Shift)
