Wonder if dell is going to cancel these. With the coupon and cash back, it was a crazy deal.
They probably will not cancel, but will take months to receive it. That is their standard operating procedure.

Could someone tell me why this monitor is so popular?

It seems to be a 2 year old model with very limited connection type (DP 1.2 and HDMI 1.4), further, it is 120Hz whereas now monitors are 144 or 165Hz at the same resolution. In the past, this was popular due to a sperate g-sync module but since Nvidia now allows other monitors to run somewhat limited VRR, that is no longer something major.

Of course, the build quality and the warranty is really good, but is that enough to justify the price?

Deal still works for me if you go through the Dell home page and navigate to "deals", then "monitor deals.". Says it's still claimable to me as of right now, but YMMV.

I am still able to add to cart as of 12:30 PST. It shows 38% claimed going through "monitor deals".

This may be a dumb question. But can DP 1.2 / HDMI 1.4 output 3440 x 1440 at the 120hz?

Kind of odd the OP would question the deal itself.

But yeah, I got it for the quality of Dell/Alienware monitors.

I could've saved 300 getting one of those monoprice ones that had dp 1.4, etc, but nah.....I'll pay extra for this sort of quality.

DP 1.2 can, HDMI is limited to 60Hz and I think Gsync also doesnt work with HDMI connection.

There are also LG UW monitors which get rave reviews and have newer connections along with HDR. Although questionable warranty support and build quality.

I initially ordered this monitor, but canceled my order. I am happy with my Acer 27" XB271HU monitor right now, but probably looking to upgrade to something more drastic like a 48" OLED

You're going to have problems above 100hz on DP 1.2

Going through multiple reviews, I dont see complains in running this at 120Hz, unless it doesnt have DP 1.2?
