Alienware Monitor Color Software

Samsung software worked well for cloning drive. Huge performance gain on Alienware R4 desktop.

Works perfect with my Alienware desktop. It took 10hours to transfer 300mbs from my hard drive, but with zero issues. So easy a caveman or girl could do it. I did not use the magician software that goes with the hard drive. I only used the Samsung data migration software.

I recently purchased an Eizo CS2420 and was so impressed that I decided to use it in portrait mode and get a bigger version as a main monitor. These entry level Eizo ColorEdge monitors are the best I have ever used. The color, uniformity, and text quality are all first rate. The quality and attention to detail in these monitors is exceptional. The stand is both solid and stable yet remarkably compact. The ability to tilt forward and back surprised me it and improves the ergonomics more than I would have thought. The monitor feels much more solid and better constructed than a major competitor's model. I am happy to have a slightly wider bezel in return for less fragile construction and a better chance of surviving shipping. The bezel itself is subtly beveled with a fine pearl finish, making it look like an aesthetically integrated frame for the screen rather than wasted space. ColorNavigator is easily the least aggravating color management software I've ever used. The interface is completely unobtrusive but makes it easy to adjust or switch between profiles, and calibration only takes a couple minutes. Once set, profiles can be switched with a touch of the front panel. I'm used to hardware manufacture's software add-ons being buggy nuisances but the ColorProfiler works like a seamless extension of the monitor. I was considering a 4K monitor but I'm very glad I chose this resolution. The pixel-pitch is smaller than most monitors and makes toolbars and menu text about at small as they could be while still being easily readable without scaling. Note that I don't do serious video editing or play games that require high refresh rates. For work with static images and general use this monitor is everything I could wish.

Im a film editor and Assistant editor and find myself often temping in color for preliminary cuts of things. Having a broadcast accurate color monitor with full image controls is really helpful. I have found that monitors designed for computers or for gaming don't have the specific color controls that have been standardized for my kind of work. And that they insist on burying their interface controls in software menus rather than being physical buttons and knobs on the device. Maybe this is just a pet peeve for me but the tactile controls just feel more intuitive to me and I always feel like I'm wasting mental energy trying to figure out navigating software menus that have controls in a series of nested tabs. At the same time most broadcast monitors are prohibitively expensive. This monitor is a great middle ground. It works well, the image is great and the controls are geared directly to my needs.

I purchased this because my Atomos monitor was definitely not color accurate. After 5 minutes of work with the software and this cable, it is now a much better tool for judging color.

WoW! This replaces a 9 yo Dell color accurate monitor that is now failing. It was good in its day but BenQ SW240 blows it out of the water. I calibrated it with the i1Display Pro using the i1Profiler software and what I see on the screen is what I get after printing. BenQ's calibrating software is easy to use but I find the Profiler to be quite accurate. I purchased the monitor at a time when the shading hood was included but I think that is no longer the case. If you are shopping for a 24 color accurate monitor at a reasonable price then get this. The worst that happens is you can send it back if you don't like it but I doubt that's what you will do. It's a keeper!

I don't know about video editing, but this is a great monitor for photo editing. It has a 14 bit LUT which means I can calibrate using my i1 Display Pro for hardware calibration vs just software calibration. This means my color profile is internal to the monitor hardware and not the computer software. It covers close to 100% ARGB which is the color space I shoot and edit in. The detail I see in photos is much greater than what I saw in my previous monitor. You can't beat the 4K. And if I decide to take a break I can watch a movie in 4K video. Look, compared to higher end monitors, you can't beat the price on this. Lower priced monitors don't have internal LUTs. In my opinion this monitor falls between those and the higher end models costing twice as much and sometimes 3 times as much. This is not an entry level monitor for photographers but it is definitely a pro monitor at a very reasonable price.

Excellent monitor - great image color, accurate color rendition out of the box, and works with G-Sync flawlessly. Only two negatives - the on-screen display is awkward with the control on the back of the monitor, and MSI's software isn't very good. Luckily, the software is not necessary.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I was thinking of getting myself an Ultra wide gaming monitor but always thought the 49" G9 was too big that's when Samsung released this with the same panel as in the Alienware OLED monitor that is getting rave reviews. The difference between this and the Alienware monitor is that this one comes with Samsung OS and is easy to connect to my other Samsung ecosystem products. This monitor is perfect to run Dex on or even can be used as a TV. The OLED panel is brilliant and the movies and games pop on it.

This arm is amazing! I purchased two different ones before this to support my new Alienware OLED monitor. Those arms could not support the weight even on the highest tension. This arm at half tension easily supports the weight. You can tell this one is made with a higher quality than any off brand product.
