Lengthy review of this model here https://au.pcmag.com/monitors/102274/philips-evnia-34m2c8600…
Seems good price for specs
3440x1440, 21:9, 0.03ms GtG, 1M:1 Contrast, 450 Nits HDR (peak 1000 nits) 1x DP 1.4, 2x HDMI 2.0, 4x USB-A 3.2, 1x USB-B, 1x USB-C (DP Alt Mode/90W PD), 5Wx2 Speakers, DisplayHDR True Black 400, FreeSync Premium Pro, DCI-P3 99%, Delta E<2, Curved (1800R), Tilt/Swivel/Height, VESA 100x100mm
According to people on rtings, this monitor uses the same QD-OLED panel as Alienware’s recent ultra-wide releases.
I don't have either so can't comment but apparently this monitor is pretty decent
No DP alt mode tho on that one?
True, but a lot of happy users and I would rather deal with Dell than a general retailer for OLED burn in warranty.
I normally go with dell for the warranty but this has me torn, i love hooking both my laptop and steamdeck to my work space with a single cable depending on what i want to use. Can't believe they have released two vesions of a premium monitor without adding this feature. i might just wait for the third version and hope for the best.
where and how?
What you did was no better than what OP did.
You both linked to pages which list the display's specs.
If you actually copy & pasted the specs into the comment, that would have been more helpful.
Wife stepping out or summin?
Why does op need to include specs anywy
So we can impulse buy a $1300 monitor with minimal clicks or something.
🤣

Anyone own this? Wondering about the burn in and the subpixel layout and the internal fan?
Qd, same as S8 and Alienware.
Cant comment on fan, I would go Dell for warranty.
I believe burn in has generally been a solved issue for a few years now on monitors/TVs, unless you're using this as a menu display and showing the same high contrast image 24/7
These are likely being marked down in the next few months before the release of the new 34". These are the first gen QD OLED pretty sure.
Scorptec is too small and suck with after service.
Scorptec is definitely not too small
According to my research, this has an inbuilt KVM. That's a big plus over the Alienware.
Now, can I justify using this for my predominantly work monitor…?
Hard to recommend an OLED for work with most likely static objects/windows on-screen for many hours at a time, just playing with fire in regards to burn-in.
The pixel shifting algorithms included now might be good enough to prevent that, but ultimately, it's a risk you have to consider in your buying decision.
Companies are offering burn-in warranties, but do your research on exactly what they entail when it comes to regular desktop usage. They may try to wiggle their way out of a claim.
Lots of talk about burn-in, but where's all the examples? All the victims? All the disgruntled users chasing warranty claims?
It's almost like… nobody is suffering from burn-in when using their OLED monitor for work?
Yes, this can be a contentious topic. You'll find plenty of examples online of people who have suffered burn-in (Minor or major), but of course, the silent majority are the ones who don't have issues and so don't complain, so it's hard to get accurate numbers.
It is an inherent design floor in OLEDs that the organic materials will degrade over time, and burn-in or picture degredation is inevitable. All you can do is try to prevent this occuring for as long as possible. It could mean the difference between burn-in after 6 months, or burn-in after 3 years.
From what I've seen, most OLED buyers use them for entertainment and gaming, not work. No doubt the risk of burn-in is partly why, but other factors such as reduced text clarity (Fringing) due to non-standard subpixel layouts are also a part of it. There is a good chance those who do use OLEDs for productivity, simply accept the risk, so when some minor burn-in occurs, they just try to ignore it, or RMA it to get a replacement if warranty covers it.
You'll find plenty of examples online of people who have suffered burn-in
That's the thing. I couldn't find any. Only videos of people talking about burn-in, but no actual "hey look at my burned in monitor".
I suspect the text fringing is the bigger potential issue of the two.
Alienware QD OLED is a similar price after discounts.
