    Choose real time since you have issues with default Windows monitor inf file.

    You need the Alienware EDID not ASUS. Any other EDID other than what comes from a similar Alienware display will be useless.

    Nope. Because the Panel right now does not have the right information, it will be the same with the ASUS panel.

    No you can do it using a Linux live boot.
    Search the forum for the EDID corruption issue, you can edit it using the same method that is used by that fix.

    No you, need the one from from the same panel that shipped from Dell.
    It can work, but that needs way more technical work and hardware.

    Might be, im not sure since i have never done it using software.

    Well then you will need to understand how to spoof the EDID to one that will work. Or check with the member i mentioned earlier.

    DO NOT TRY THIS IN WINDOWS. Every single time i have heard people with AW's try this in Windows have bricked their LCD's.
    And dont event think about trying this without knowing exactly what you are doing.

    OR

    Just use your QHD display. If you have the pixel pitch problem, then just have Dell replace it to the 01.4 panel.

    *sigh*
    Either ways, its the updated QHD.
    If you really want good blacks / contrasts and colors. You are better off asking dell to swap that LCD out for a FHD IPS or the UHD 4k.

    Tell them you have banding issues or whatever.

    First thing, people are trying to help you out. Second, if this is so inconvenient to you, just switch back to the old panel.

    Either ways im out. Hope you get this sorted.

    When putting a non-standard display in a laptop with an Nvidia gpu it is often necessary to manually enable brightness control in the Windows registry.

    The location it goes in is

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\...

    From the Class folder search for your GPU name, for example "980m", and you should end up in a folder called 0000, 0001, 0002, etc with a bunch of keys like EnableDpLibrary and EnableCoprocPowerControl.

    The DWORD you want to add is the following:

    EnableBrightnessControl

    After creating it set it equal to 1.

    Gotta disable javascript for this website.

    Also telling me to hurry up made me not log in from my work laptop to post this half an hour ago.

    Was the entry already present?

    You need to restart the computer after adding it. After the restart you can use the display brightness sliders in Windows. The default brightness will still be low.
