Hi everyone. Just wanted to give you an update on content we are working on, thinking about or planning for the near future. Let us know your thoughts and suggestions below :)
- Dell Alienware AW3423DW QD-OLED review - you may have seen our tweets about this recently, but Dell's UK PR have been really poor at supporting us with a review sample. They seem to have hardly any available in the UK and despite months of chasing we are not getting anywhere with them. In the past they have tended to only get screens several months after release, and with the massive stock delays with this particular model in most regions, we don't expect them to have it available any time soon.
However, we do have a contingency. We are planning to produce some content in the near future with @PCcentric, a YouTube channel you may or may not be aware of. Marcus has this screen and I will have chance to use it and test it soon, which will allow us to then complete a review. I will update you here when we have firmer timescales. It's a shame we have to figure out work-arounds like this due to Dell's lack of reliable PR, and normally we would skip the screen and move on to something else, but I know how keen people are to see our review of this so will continue to try and sort something out. - Nixeus NX-EDG27240X - their latest 27" 1440p, 240Hz monitor - I am still waiting for this to arrive from the US but it's being arranged
- IPS Black monitors - we are keen to take a look at this new and emerging panel tech if we can. We have already tried to get hold of the Dell UltraSharp U3223QZ but again their PR have not been very helpful. Instead we are seeing if we can source the LG UltraFine 32UQ85R. No firm plans yet but we'd def like to look at a screen using this new technology.
- Creating YouTube videos as well - this is something new we would like to explore, and I'd love to hear your thoughts! As well as continuing the main site content as today (don't worry, that won't change!), we thought it might be interesting to produce some content as videos, for those who like to consume their information that way. We have a couple of things planned below which I think suit video format nicely as a start, but we are considering maybe producing 10 - 20 min video reviews that go alongside our main written reviews, as perhaps something that is a quicker and easier option for some readers. What do you think? Any other suggestions on what you'd like to see? Reviews, guides, walk-throughs, discussions?
- LG C2 OLED Settings guide (video) - A guide showing you how to set up the LG C2 OLED TV in a range of modes using optimal OSD settings. Will include PC, console and streaming/TV usage. Gaming, SDR, HDR and Dolby Vision modes. The same approx guidance should apply to other LG OLED TV's as well so hopefully useful to many people.
- LG OLED TV AutoCal hardware calibration guide (video) - we already have a very comprehensive and popular article about this on the main site, but we thought a video walk through version would be useful to some people if they prefer being talked through it instead of reading it. We can record this quite easily while we are also testing the hardware calibration feature of the C2 screens as well, something we have not yet had chance to look at.
