It would cause system instability (programs/games crashing) when running normally. I had to underclock it through Intel’s XTU to make things stable again.

This was after all the BIOS updates from ASUS and with all BIOS settings set to the safe options.

When I originally got it I did notice that it was getting insanely high scores in benchmarks, then the story broke of how Intel and motherboard manufacturers were letting the CPUs clock as high as possible until they hit the thermal limit. Then mine started to fail I think about a year after I got it.

And all of the failures that plagued the 13 and 14 gens. That was the main reason I switched to AMD. My 13th gen CPU was borked and had to be kept underclocked.

No. Romania, for example, is not. It was announced in January that we would enter the program but then they removed us in June.

I have an Alienware OLED (AW3423DW). I’ve been using it for almost a year now. I use it for ~13h a day, for work, gaming and media (YT, TV shows, movies). I have HDR enabled in Windows and I use the monitor in HDR1000 mode.

I left the taskbar on for a few months and it got burnt in. I also got burn-in from watching content that is in 16:9 ratio (the monitor is 21:9). The monitor also got a defect, in the form of a thick line that is brighter that anything else that runs across half the top of the monitor left to right.

Despite this experience I would still buy OLED because IMO the brightness and colors are worth it but I also warn everyone that they WILL get burn-in if they want to use it to its full potential and all day long.

OLEDs are not there yet. Maybe in a few years or decades we’ll get actual burn-in proof OLEDs
