Actually local dimming is not that important, I find it is over exaggerated. My monitor now got 2048 local dimming,  it is FALD panel, turn on do look nice to be mimic more like OLED as true black is black but they is some compromise where sometimes it is over black, turn off not means it look bad, sometimes it is even better. Also sometimes I find FALD make the bright area crazy bright and some sort of eye hurt in gaming. Another issue FALD make the desktop unusable especially on dark themes as well the halo effect at mouse cursor is deeply annoying. 😅

Local Dimming is not a good technology, how many dimming zone also not enough  unless they can make every dot is dimming zone.

I am happy now worth local dimming default off and on manually only if plan to watch video especially HDR video content.

For pure black, still only OLED manage to do it.

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

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 laugh.gif

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

Having the same question , sorry to ask in someone else thread , no AOC monitor around to check out the display.
As for Dell , what do you think about Dell brand ?did you use or saw it before ?

What kind of panel they are using ? quite confuse with E,S,P,U series but when the limited rtings website doesn't have a single P series review.Older series no review.
Some comment yellowish some comment blur text at the side , border.

I wonder why Dell u2421e https://www.dell.com/en-my/shop/dell-ultras...e/apd/210-axqh/ more expensive than 27 inch 4k confused.gif
Something like this U series price is double just for few extra ports input https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compar...&threshold=0.10

Any comment on S2721 vs P2721 series 4k.?

Also , does dell still have 1 to 1 exchange anymore ?

I always get the U series, they tend to always have the nicest design (thinnest bezel, I don't like bezel especially working with multi-monitors).
panel often has the highest brightness, lot of ports (I typically use all of them), better panels tech (IPS black), top of the line in a way with much better QC, etc.

but yea, in the end, it's very exp when compared to the other series laugh.gif
