"The Alienware 34 QD OLED gaming monitor features a 34-inch Quantum Dot OLED panel with two native resolutions. Over a DP cable, it can output content at resolution 3,440 x 1,440 pixels and a 175Hz refresh rate. The latter is reduced to 100Hz over an HDMI cable, presumably due to bandwidth restrictions. "

"Two native resolution" i don't understand. Should be two native refresh rates as whichn input port is used??

Hdr400 but 1000nit brightness? Well that makes no sense Hdr400 is garbage faux HDR.

It's not HDR400 but "HDR 400 true black", that's one level above HDR 1000.

"HDR 400 True Black" is just a marketing term for OLED displays with HDR input. It doesn't carry much weight since OLED phones (6-bit sRGB) and laptops (8-bit 300nit) share the same "certification". This monitor looks a lot nicer than the VESA label would indicate.

They just probably didn't go with HDR1000 because the panel isn't above 10-bit color depth.
