Thanks Monitors Unboxed! I recently pulled the trigger on this monitor after scouring content from the web. Your reviews, deep dives, and explanations were the best I found and a huge reason why I felt comfortable buying this monitor. The fact that you continue to update your findings with videos like this one highlighting firmware differences is amazing. You're in the highest level of useful YouTube content!

[jacobharvey]

That's why this channel is a cut above the rest, covering products over the whole lifecycle. Thank you!

One unevident benefit of these firmware update updates could be manufacturers seeing the positive feedback from reviewers and users, and actually bothering to fix released products more often. Some caring engineer can now shove these videos in front of bean counter's face and say - here, they notice, it's important; let us finish our job.

[Echo-Head]

Thank you for this kind of testing Tim, it's really invaluable to see what kind of long term support these products get and to accurately reflect how they perform after launch.

I have never seen monitor coverage this comprehensive. Didn't even know it was possible.

[Nite-Lite-Gamers]

Being an AMD user, I updated the firmware 2 days ago and I more than happy with the results, Just the fact of being able to update the firmware was a great advantage and Im glad Dell was on the ball. As for the fan noise, Ive had the DWF over 6 weeks now and I have yet to even hear this fan. Im glad I made the purchase and yes the monitor is expensive, I think its a purchase that is well worth it. Great video as always guys. Well done in keeping up with the updates on the DWF.

A bonus fix of the M3B104 is that is fixes a RGB bug on the powerbutton. Now it correctly stops pulsating once Pixel Refresh is done when set to RGB off.

I purchased the AW3423DWF due to your reviews and followup. Thank you.

[lockjaw]

I think this makes the DWF the better buy now vs the DW. With HDR now fixed, the ability to update firmware puts it over the top IMO.

[MackBXIII]

Thanks so much for this. Having owned this monitor for a few months, it's been so helpful seeing updates covered in such detail so I can understand the product better.

[malifestro]

Your review of the DWF is one of the factors I used in getting one. Dell doing this update is another reason why I chose this brand. So glad they listened and improved the monitor! I have no doubt your input did help get them pushing out the update.

[TheHighborn]

I have DWF and i use it in HDR1000 mode. Since this is my first HDR screen, i love it, and i'm happy that it gets even better (i'm on an AMD GPU)

Managed to pickup this monitor for £789.00 in the UK. Really excited to try it out. Thank you for the consistent and structured videos you upload, they really help me inform my buying when it comes to price:performance. This channel, along with hardware unboxed really has been a lifesaver for me over the years.

Absolute kudos for coming back and checking out firmware updates and covering them in such detail. I was planning tomorrow to check for firmware updates myself and see it it changes anything, but now I have one of the best monitor channels covering the new update :)
Also very nice to see Dell updating the firmware on the monitor to fix issues. Sure, they weren't supposed to be there in the first place but at least my 1k+ monitor is getting fixed after all!

[wolfwilkopter]

Nice!
Thx for retesting with the new firrmware and letting us know.

[BenMagargee]

It's weird owning a monitor that I have to pay attention to firmware updates, but I'm looking forward to testing out the improvements for myself! Thanks for taking a closer look at this!

[oscargarcia]

the best of this channel is Tim saying the names of the monitors with a straight face

[NamNaz]

Ihr zwingt Hersteller besser zu sein. Bravo!

[jamie]

This is important for a channel to do. Hold brands to account where needed and celebrate improvements when made. Especially monitors with much longer life cycle for the consumer.

[mistersleep]

Just picked up a DWF for $900 on the dell website which was $100 cheaper than anywhere else I could find it in stock. Glad to see they're still pushing improvements.
