Edge Dimming or Uneven Color and Luminance Uniformity on a Alienware 32 4K OLED Gaming Monitor AW3226Q or Alienware 39 5K OLED Gaming Monitor AW3926QW

An Alienware 32 4K OLED Gaming Monitor AW3226Q or Alienware 39 5K OLED Gaming Monitor AW3926QW may experience the following under certain conditions:

• Edge or corner dimming
• Color shift
• Green tint
• White luminance
• Uneven color uniformity
• Color shift or green tint at a 45° viewing angle
  
• Corner dimming
  

Affected Monitors:

• Alienware 32 4K OLED Gaming Monitor AW3226Q
• Alienware 39 5K OLED Gaming Monitor AW3926QW

These monitors use a 3-sub 4-stack OLED panel. Like any display technology, it comes with its own set of tradeoffs. Some variation in brightness uniformity is a known characteristic of this panel type and is not a defect. Dell Technologies chose it for its longer panel lifespan, superior color accuracy, stronger HDR performance, and improved texture quality.

• The brightness reduction is an expected result of the Constant Power Control (CPC) protection mechanism.
  Note: CPC is a built-in power-management and dimming feature used in monitor panels that darkens the outer edges of the display to reduce the risk of burn-in.
• Brightness gradually recovers after switching to uniform content.
• Increasing the brightness setting may help reduce the difference between the screen center and edge.
