I think most that ordered got it to work Friday and maybe early Saturday morning before DELL probably disabled it from stacking with the discounted price of the monitor.

Yeah it sucks. I chatted with 2 different reps and they weren't able to do anything either.

Question. Is this still a good deal even without the 10% promo code discount?

I would wait until Black Friday if I were you. Maybe the 10% CB comes back then too.

Been evaluating a transition from my triple 27" 2K 10-bit 144hz setup to an ultrawide/s, but there's still some caveats, random marketing buzz words, and premium expense around the products in my opinion.

Was close to grabbing a Samsung CRG90 here locally for $1k, but decided to pass. The prices keep on dropping on ultrawides, and the screen tech is rapidly maturing to eliminate previous caveats.

While I'm sure this is a nice display... I guess I'm not connecting the dots as to why it's worth $1k.

Yeah, it's 34", 3440x1440, G-Sync (Although preference would be FreeSync), and 120hz, but I see a lot of those specs on monitors in this segment at the $500-700 range.

Is that 2ms response and "Fast IPS Nano Color" worth an almost 2x premium? It's still an 8-bit panel (16.7 mil colors) and port selection is your standard I/O for this segment (HDMI 1.4 / DP 1.2).

I'm definitely not a HaRdCoRe gamer, and any improvement going sub 4/5ms is negligible and a non-factor for me. Guessing I'm not the target audience for this? Just found it odd that this has gotten mega hype comment wise, as it seems somewhat luke-warm and normal/non-special pricing in my mind?

Not trying to thread crap, just really curious is all, as I'm in the market to join the *Ultrawide Master Race*.
What's your 27inch model ?

No, because it's not. It only has better warranty. I just picked up the 34GK950F for $718 from urlhasbeenblocked. Is everyone posting here high?
Any idea how consoles play on these ? Does it keep it wide or?

Glad that I pulled the trigger on this. I have the 2017 version which is amazing.
A fan of the new Alienware Legend design language.

Now just got to sell my 2017 version a recoup some of the costs.

Very solid monitor but the lack of HDR is a huge let down. After experiencing HDR 1000 when gaming HOLY crap you can never go back. It was like the first time seeing the difference between 480p and 1080p...it's a MASSIVE difference. All you gamers really really deserve to experience gaming in HDR 1000 so please try to see if you can game on such a display before pulling the trigger on a non HDR model in 2019/2020. I'm shocked that it's almost 2020 and they released this with no HDR. However, if this is all you can afford, it's a very very solid monitor for this price.

And remember some have targeted Amex offer to get 10% back on Dell purchases.
