The amount of carbon this has undoubtedly put into our atmosphere is really my main concern. Yes I know you can do hacky workarounds to fix this, but how many of their consumers did this? Roughly none. What a waste of our planets resources.

    Same problem here. I have the first generation Alienware OLED as my main monitor, and a secondary Dell S2522HG 1080p 240hz in portrait mode as my secondary monitor.

    If I use both monitors at their max refresh rates my desktop not-doing-a-damn-thing power usage is 95w.

    When I cap both down to 144hz and use 10 bit color + HDR on the OLED, it drops down to about 35-45w. It’s perfectly usable like this, but I’m still peeved that it’s necessary to gimp my monitors like this. 144hz on the OLED is fine and it’s not noticeable, but I can tell the difference in smoothness going down from 240hz. This only really matters though when I’m coding and hyper scrolling.
