I have to disagree when it comes to some of the Mini LEDs. I actually returned the dell here for the Innocn 32M2V based on bright room side by side performance. I wish there were more such panels from reputable makers as I don’t love the warranty.. but no burn-in worries and good-enough blacks with their FALD setup at half the price make it a killer offering. It was as low as $600 with a coupon a few days ago on amazon.
I wish RTINGS would review it, but I can promise you it’s about as good as the 27M2V they did review, to my eyes. Only downside is slightly lower pixel density.
Not exactly.. it’s OLED vs (non-MiniLED) IPS. The panel at the left gets way brighter in a light room and costs half the price for most of the performance. And it doesn’t have a horrible eye-hurting curve.
So, I would say that the picture here looks way worse than reality, but yea, it’s not an MiniLED, which I wish it was. The MiniLEDs are the best of both worlds imo… it’s annoying to me that people arn’t making more of them.
Here’s a couple comparison shots that I was doing on an HDR video:
https://ibb.co/Kr6kD4jhttps://ibb.co/NS9ttLQ
In my opinion these photographs exaggerate the difference between the two but obviously the OLED on the right is superior in terms of blacks as you would expect
I’m actually trying to choose between both of these monitors for my new monitor right now ! They’re both on my desk in fact . I don’t really like the curve of the OLED panel , and it’s just a tiny bit dim for me , however it is very pretty . Currently it seems to have some firmware bugs and at double the cost, it’s hard to justify it considering that the other monitor does pretty well except for perfect blacks. My guess is that what I really want is a miniled IPS panel , or at least a non curved OLED. Probably going to send the Alienware back and keep the G3223Q
The Dell Alienware actually has worse/higher input lag than the tvs according to your testing.
You mentioned that the Dell Alienware has lower/better input lag in your response.
Maybe you got it backwards on your response?
Like I said previously, that is kind of a surprising result for the new monitor to be quite a bit higher/worse with input lag than the QD-OLED tvs. Do you have any thoughts on that.
This has much lower input lag than the QD-OLED A95L.
Unfortunately the 3rd gen improvements aren’t in brightness though. I’ve already used the 360hz qd-oled and it just wasn’t bright enough… amazing for movies, but not for competitive play. As for dolby vision… I find all those hdr formats to be overrated, especially hdr10+, I’ve only liked dolby vision on sony’s.
Dolby Vision gaming is a must and will be much more supported starting this year.
Are you sure? Did you test it? I tested with the current Samsung Neo g8 monitor in Apex legends on xbox series x and you can feel a small difference between 4k and 1440p and that small difference matters when you play competitive fps games.
Boring ):
I’m sure this is someone’s endgame, but as someone who owns a S95B qd-oled, this new age of oled monitors is really leaves me wanting in comparison.
You will be wanting that Dolby Vision and 3rd gen QD OLED.
My decision to opt for 1440p at 120Hz instead of 4k at the same refresh rate is primarily due to performance considerations. From my experience, and especially in highly competitive gaming scenarios like playing Apex Legends, every frame and millisecond counts.
I’ve noticed a perceptible decrease in console performance when playing in 4k at 120 fps, which can impact reaction times and overall gameplay smoothness, factors that are critical in competitive gaming.
My preference for 1440p at 120Hz is a balance between maintaining high visual quality and ensuring the console’s performance remains optimal for competitive play.
Please check the edges of your test display with a flashlight. You’ll almost certainly see scratches and (residue/coating?) marks that can’t be removed. The hard bubble wrap taped to the monitor for packaging scratches up the outer panel layer. Seems like few of these Alienware monitors have make it out unscathed over the last 2 years. Pretty bad to see a product ruined by packaging mistakes. Lots of discussion in forums but no remediation from Dell, so the issue could use more attention. I have a lot on my 3225QF and I really wish this damage was covered by reviewers before I made the purchase :(
Nearly a dozen threads like this on Reddit across different models:

That’s the 1st thing to check and thankfully mine has none.
On the subject of Mac compatibility, the review states that a maximum of 120hz is supported. This is incorrect. I am getting the full 4K HDR 240hz, also VRR, through HDMI 2.1. The reviewer may be using a subpar cable, or is on a low spec Mac (non-M2 pro/max/ultra).
It doesn’t seem to be limited to one panel. A lot of people are posting images of tests ran that show this banding. Could be caused by the low 32 zone backlight? Maybe it’s the zones they are seeing?
It doesn’t though. In real world viewing they are about the same brightness the motion, response time and input lag is significantly better on the X900H.
X900H looks NIGHT and DAY BETTER than the Nano 90.
Blacks look black not gray, motion is faster/cleaner, it’s wayyyy brighter and the colors are much more accurate not to mention the much smoother UI!
Completely wrong. Sony cheaped out on dolby vision.
Sony uses a “low latency” dolby vision profile just like xbox one. It is a more simple version since their chipset isn’t powerful enough.
So every external player has to implement this special profile to work on sony tvs since they went cheap with their chipsets for years.
Completely right and if you want a quality 4K/DV BR player don’t buy a cheap LG.
LG cheaped out with there 4K Blu-ray players and they don’t support Sony’s Dolby Vision profile.
Not sure your price range but here are a few that do work.
Panasonic UB-820
Panasonic UB-9000
Sony UBP-X700
Sony UBP-X800M2
Sony UBP-X1100ES
Having both this isn’t true.
Yup
Not in a single thing but price.
How is the Alienware getting a 8.2 for Xbox Series and the Samsung that doesn’t support Dolby Vision gaming getting a 10 🤔
Contract ratio is terrible with the 32m2v
The HDR isn’t brighter
I agree with VA mini LED not a IPS.
Generational difference
That g3223q has major ips glow yikes!
This has much lower input lag than the QD-OLED A95L.
Dolby Vision gaming is a must and will be much more supported starting this year.
Yes
You will be wanting that Dolby Vision and 3rd gen QD OLED.
It’s the same performance on consoles
That’s the 1st thing to check and thankfully mine has none.
Same here
eArc works great for me
It was obviously not calibrated correctly by mr D suspect nice and he’s been called out for this type of stuff before.
Can’t wait
Are they going to review this?
Please review this tv as it has pretty good specs for a LED/LCD.
No panel lottery
Nothing touching the Z9D’s overall HDR performance. Dolby Vision Blu-ray’s are breathtaking.
For movie watching the Z9D.
currently 6
I own many tv’s and the 900F is one that had to many issues to be a part of my collection.
Nope my 65 inch is fine. I hear Costco models are hit and miss did you buy from there?
It doesn’t though. In real world viewing they are about the same brightness the motion, response time and input lag is significantly better on the X900H.
X900H looks NIGHT and DAY BETTER than the Nano 90. Blacks look black not gray, motion is faster/cleaner, it’s wayyyy brighter and the colors are much more accurate not to mention the much smoother UI!
Dolby Vision is handled better than the 900F which is known for it’s DV issues.
I wanted to know what picture settings you use for game mode. i.e what do you put local dimming on etc.
Yes both
1440p doesn’t show up when you hit the info button it will say 1080p but if you set it and notice a difference it’s 1440p.

Panasonic UB-820 Panasonic UB-9000 Sony UBP-X700 Sony UBP-X800M2 Sony UBP-X1100ES
My choice would be either Panasonic.
Significantly better gaming performance,faster UI,better Dolby Vision and better motion than the 900F. Get the 900H
Mine is has no DSE,noticeable blooming or banding.
For gaming my choice is the X900H.
900H 65 inch and above is my choice.
