is the halo effect that bad on the FALD panel that you have?
mine seems fine, if the mouse pointer is on full black background, it will just ignore it and dimly light up that area, so the mouse pointer look dim and halo is not noticeable
normally I can't really see the halo unless I purposefully look for them or using a camera to take picture of it

whew! your previous setup is dope, belanja pic of the new setup

Not very bad, just slightly like those reviewer show but I am using dark themes, so I prefer FALD is off when using Windows. 😅 Just turn on FALD when needed. 😊

usually those YouTube/picture really jack up the halo effect on FALD panels..
my Pro Display XDR with only 512 zones doesn't look too obvious even when I'm running mostly dark mode applications (software dev, etc.)

Not obvious but I can seen it, I don't see the need to use FALD on Windows, so I prefer off it. 😅 I hope future they is a better OLED 32:9 aspect ratio monitor. Don't so fast, maybe a year or two later. Haha!
Current that Alienware QD-OLED I not prefer as purple fridge in text will bugging me. 😅

Wow! Pro Display XDR - My dream monitor. Impossible I got money to buy a RM 20k to 26k monitor.

isn't QD-OLED terrible for text at the moment (due to the pixel layout)? I saw some detailed comparison and the text look really odd

haha, it had also been on my could-never-afford list, for which I got the U3219Q instead..
but due to JPY sharp drop against MYR/USD and some extra income, all the star somehow aligned

now getting used to the retina resolution, it's hard to go back to non-retina resolution display

I see, good for you manage to get it due to JPY currency sharp drop.

Ya QD-OLED is not good for text, the purple fridge I seen from review is something I cannot accept, so my plan of purchasing it drop and lastly I am gambling on getting the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9. Lucky the one I get is new batch and those issue in earlier badge is not there, also the latest firmware is usable now. No regret so far, I superb love this 32:9 aspect ratio screen. 😄

Waiting for better OLED or maybe future microLED panel. QD-LED from Samsung cannot as the diamond pattern arrangement is the one cause the purple fringing issue.

MSI the 2nd vendor to make use the Samsung QD-OLED

Actually I had check many review and I notice even LG WOLED also have purple frigging issue in text due to the pattern alignment, but off course WOLED is still much better than QD-OLED alignment.

I think OLED is not for me now until they manage to change to better pattern alignment and remove the purple frigging issue in text. 😅
Probably in microLED ? Haha! But this tech still very far than realistic mass production. 😅😅😅

Wonder in future will they be 4K+ resolution for 32:9 aspect ratio gaming monitor.

In 7680x2160 resolution look damn cool! Haha! and off course this crazy resolution needs newer very powerful GPU. 😅

Some update on my Samsung Odyssey Neo G9.

Previously I said the HDR games in FALD on (auto) make certain dark scenes too dark and green leaf not green, somehow weird output.

This issue seems solved now and it look brilliant now. Now I am running with FALD on (auto) for games and movie playback. 😄
For desktop wise I still turn it off as I much prefer without it for very eye smooth experience.

The only changes is I had installed latest Nvidia driver 512.95, did Nvidia solved it? because others than Nvidia new GPU driver, they is nothing new update in my PC and they is no new firmware release for this monitor as well, last firmware is 1011 that I already installed since I get this monitor.

Anyway don't care, freaking happy now. 😊

Another thing is VRR control I am off back as I notice it is badly impact to any games if I turn on Nvidia DLSS where it will extremely jittering and lagging when they is a lot moving object until not possible to play condition, when benchmark you can seen minimum FPS drop to 2. This issue is totally gone when I set VRR control to off. No issue though if I not using DLSS. Weird...

I think Windows did not do it perfect on HDR.

My Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 actually can make FALD auto switch and only on when in HDR mode if I set my desktop to SDR.
But set desktop to SDR = No HDR for streaming video included YouTube and Netflix.

Gaming and local playback HDR movie do can auto switch.

Another issue, I think Nvidia G-Sync is not perfect in Windows mode, when turn on my monitor from time to time flickering. I though my monitor rosak. lol
Default is only ON in full screen mode. So I set back but this also means if games set Windows Borderless will be not smooth and can happen tearing.

Wonder who should be blame, Windows or Nvidia.

Or Samsung should be the one to be blame. 😅

Also Finally manage put in all the cables inside the monitor leg and closed the monitor back cover. Now it looks very clean and tidy. 🥰

not because of this?

i set my wit enable for windowed and full screen mode.

Ya because of that. I set back only Full Screen support G-Sync now instead of Full Screen & Windows as if set for Windows as well, some times the screen will flickering.

You are posting at wrong thread repeatedly, this thread is about Ultrawide, all monitor you mentioned is normal Widescreen monitor (16:9 aspect ratio). 2560 x 1440 is 16:9 aspect ratio monitor resolution which not belongs to here.
Ultrawide is 21:9 aspect ratio and normally it is only up to 3440 x 1440 and not 4K+ resolution. The only few Ultrawide in 4K+ resolutions is LG 40WP95C-W or Dell U4021QW which is 5120 x 2160 resolution.
This thread is for Ultrawide (21:9 aspect ratio) and Super Ultrawide (32:9 aspect ratio).

Normal Widescreen thread belongs here - https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3238138/+2540 and stop mess-up the thread and stop posting widescreen question here. Thanks.

Thanks for informing me.
I wanted to post it on the 'normal' monitor thread but maybe due to late-night sleepiness, I wrongly posted on this Ultrawide thread, because I was looking for answers on both threads.
My apologies.

I have deleted the original post.

Thanks also for the given additional info to show the differentiation between them. I have better clarity now.

Have a wonderful weekend.

This is not the first time you post Widesceen question here. I had explained to you previously but you still post it here.

Hope they is no more Widesceen information or questions post again here. Thank you.

Hi. Good day.
I don't wish to complicate this but I wish to clarify what I believed has happened.

I looked back at several posts I shared before that latest incorrect post.

There were 2 posts made in May:
1) one post was about the DFO unit
2) one post was about the horizontal monitor, that you mentioned that it is a QHD, not a WQHD

I wish to clarify that I wasn't aware that these 2 questions shouldn't be asked specifically in this thread, until your latest advice.
Before this, I was not advised that they are in the wrong thread.

I know have much better clarity, especially the difference between widescreen and ultrawide, via the additional insights you shared.
I am now memorizing the ratios and also the resolutions of the ultrawide so that I will not make the same mistakes again.

My apologies once again.

Let us move forward.

Thanks for your understanding and thanks so much for educating me.
Much appreciated.
