QD-OLED Peak-1000 fixed on MSI monitors, will Dell Alienware follow?
MSI are releasing new firmware for their QD-OLED lineup which effectively fixes Peak-1000 mode EOTF tracking completely, according to tftcentral testing..
Will Dell follow-suit by updating their QD-OLED lineup (AW3225QF, AW2725DF, AW3423DWF, etc.), or will we continue to be left without any firmware updates?

We now know from Hardware Unboxed's video release today that MSI has not fixed this issue. MSI is essentially trying to hack their way around the inherent behavior of Samsung's displays.
tl;dr
Use HDR400. Peak HDR1000 is the best you're going to get. The tech isn't there yet.

Flagship products are an active consumer base. Word travels like wildfire. If you update merchant reviews it'll get higher engagement.
That said, it's up to the Alienware engineers to do the right thing and listen to the voice of the customer.

Are the monitor engineers even working at DELL anymore? I think most of them lost their jobs last year. It started so good with the AW3225QF and the constant firmware updates and then.... radio silence...

At least they are trying and listening to their community. DELL cannot even add a simple DSC toggle or fix the 2.2 gamma issue.
Working as intended. Nothing to see here ladies and gents. Go and buy our new 27 inch 4K QD-OLED with the same firmware as the AW3225QF. Thanks!

@GroundReaper94 Imagine them releasing that 4k 27 inch qd oled with the same bugs and issues like ours 😂

It most probably will 😂
I would really like to laugh, but this makes me really sad and mad at the same time.
I also find it funny that DELL refuses to add a KVM switch and an USB-C with DP Alt mode to their flagship models. But what do I even expect? We do not even get a DSC toggle. 😂

@GroundReaper94 there is a way to turn off dsc though,enabling legacy device under the console mode settings turn off the dsc and it limits the screen to 120hz
But yea thats not practical as a dsc toggle.

I am closing this post since as the title suggests, it was specifically about MSI's purported fix to HDR Peak 1000, which turned out to not be as ideal as we no doubt hoped.
I still have my issues with how Dell has handled firmware updates for their third-gen QD-OLED panels, but I will leave those discussions for more appropriate topics.
Thank you all for contributing! I hope Dell addresses DSC-toggling, gamma 2.2 and acknowledges that Peak 1000 is actually broken, whilst at least attempting to resolve it somehow.
