Samsung requiring you to manually run long compensation cycles until a recent firmware update.

Any idea how to manually run the long compensation cycle on one of the Alienware oled's?

It should prompt you for it automatically every 1500hours use unless you disabled it the first time it asks you to.

Otherwise it does the shorter 5-15min cycle after 6hours of continuous use or whenever it goes to standby/powered off after being used for a few hours.

The short one is called Pixel Refresh, the longer one is called Panel Refresh and takes about an hour.
