VRR helps eliminate framerate stuttering by syncing the refresh rate of the monitor to the actual framerate, e.g. 60 Hz for 60 fps, 61 Hz for 61 fps, 73 Hz for 73 fps and so on up to 360 Hz for 360 fps on the AW2725DF. When it is working perfectly the game will appear and feel smooth in motion...

VRR flicker can vary wildly from game to game and depends on what game you are playing, the graphics settings you are using, the refresh rate of the display and the framerate, whether you are using HDR, not to mention that not everyone will notice it in the same way as someone else. Games that...

Yes. It's like the bad old days pre-G-SYNC when I basically had to lock games to 30 or 60 fps else suffer varying amounts of framerate stuttering. I am sensitive to that and screen tearing (especially the latter which I cannot abide) so having flickering with VRR enabled on this monitor is...

It can be mitigated by having the monitor adjust the gamma in realtime to compensate for the colour shifts due to fluctuating refresh rates. I guess this is why the ASUS OLED monitor scores 7.3 for VRR Flicker versus the 5.3/5.6 for the two Dell QD-OLED monitors. Maybe Dell can improve on it...

I am on the M3B103 firmware for my AW2725DF and it did nothing for the VRR flicker which remains, as I said, to varying degrees in just about every game I've played (around 100) so far on this monitor. Sometimes it's just on the loading screens but I am noticing the issue during gameplay and in...

Nice to see that RTINGS.com have updated their testing suite to finally include proper testing for VRR, including flickering, on monitors. They scored the AW2725DF 5.3 out of 10 for VRR Flickering which I’d agree with based on my own disappointing experiences with it. This is admittedly coming...

New M3B103 firmware available for the AW2725DF: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-uk/product-support/servicetag/0-VlV6WG8wK053REhEajNxRG93cmFLZz090/drivers Fixes & Enhancements 1. Fix to intermittent screen corruption and image degradation during heavy graphical load. 2. Bug fix for image...

Mine did, yes. If I hadn't then I would have been very annoyed since I live in the UK!

Is anyone playing Dragon's Dogma 2 on either the AW3225QF or AW2725DF with G-SYNC enabled? How are you finding the VRR flicker? On my AW2725DF there is not only very obvious flickering in the loading screens but also in the game itself, especially in the dark interiors and at night that can be...

Dell will only push firmware updates for VRR flickering on the AW2725DF if they are aware of it as an issue so it goes without saying that anyone experiencing this should report it as a fault. I am still testing this issue in games but the flickering is noticeably bad in Dragon’s Dogma 2 due to...

The AW2725DF will get a firmware update in April to add a DSC (display stream compression) on/off option according to the Dell Forum so hopefully it will also include fixes for some of the other issues too.

I am playing Dragon's Dogma 2 on my AW2725DF with HDR enabled and I not only see horrid flickering with G-SYNC enabled in the loading screens but I also see it in the game menus and, more subtle but it's still there, during darker scenes in the game too. Same for Alone in the Dark, another game...

If the issue is with OLED and QD-OLED then the manufacturer could argue that the flickering is 'normal' for that panel type and not honour a replacement. I suspect that if I contacted Dell about my AW2725DF having VRR flicker that they'd come back to me and claim it is because the monitor is...

Screen tearing occurs because the graphics card is outputting frames that are not synced to the refresh rate of the display so parts of different images are displayed on the screen during each screen refresh. During motion, one frame will not be the same as the other leading to the 'tear'...

Not necessarily as both monitors are new, likely only shipped to a relatively small user base and of those using the monitors not everyone will be using VRR (G-SYNC or FreeSync) and even if they are then they may be using settings or framerates in specific games that is a non-issue for them...

G-SYNC is used to allow games to run up to the refresh rate of the display without screen tearing or judder. Regardless of the refresh rate, you will still experience screen tearing at high refresh rates with V-Sync or G-SYNC turned off. And if you use V-Sync instead of G-SYNC then you will...

Solid blue light means the monitor is on. The flashing white light means the monitor is off, in standby mode. Unfortunately, there is no way to have, say, a solid red light for standby mode and have the power light off when the monitor is on, which is how my LG B9 TV works since you don't...

Just watched your video and saw that you have the 32" Alienware monitor not the 27" one I have. Mine is not certified as G-SYNC compatible but yours is! Having watched your video now, this is the kind of flickering I see in games on my 'uncertified' display and even on the desktop wallpaper...

I know exactly what you mean. The flickering with G-SYNC is much worse than I could ever have anticipated even though I was aware of some flickering with OLED displays from using my Xbox Series X and PS5 in their 120 Hz modes on my 2019 LG B9 TV. Few reviews even mention this and it is not like...

Thank you! I knew I'd read somewhere about one of the modes having a static brightness level. Guess I'll be switching to that for Netflix... I believe you can set individual colour profiles to use for specific apps in the Dell app I have installed.
