I’ve been rocking the original Acer X34 since 2014 and feel like upgrading again. Specifically the AW3423DWF tickles my fancy, but I’m struggling to decide whether or not it is worth it on Mint without HDR support.
I’ve only been running Linux for about a year and have gotten quite comfortable with Mint, but see that I’d need to change distro if I want to use the Plasma DE, which is the only (?) one with decent HDR support at the moment?
Do any of you run HDR capable monitors in Linux?
If yes: is it worth the purchase even if I stick to SDR mode or would you recommend re-rolling distro to get support today?
If I change it up, I’m looking at Fedora.
Thanks in advance!
Any monitor is worth it without HDR.
IMO HDR makes things look worse most of the time, especially video games.
Appreciate the input mate. The overwhelming response here was so positive that I just bit the bullet and ordered it.
Life’s to short to have 11 year old monitors, ey?
I also just swapped my monitor out after nearly 12 years with it.
I think ANYTHING you would have bought new would have looked awesome. Panel tech has advanced.
