I've been using the AW3821DW since Nov/Dec 2020 and it's been a really great monitor for mixed usage but mostly for gaming.
After coming from the 34" AW3418DW, I much prefer the larger 38" version for both the larger physical size and resolution. There's also a possibility a 38" version of the QD-OLED may come out, but that may take 1-3 years as Samsung hasn't shown any interest in 38" UWs.
I got mine here:

Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers\Configuration look for keys starting with NOEDID or SIMULATED. In the 00 children of those, change PrimSurfSize.cx & cy to match the actual resolution (in decimal mode), e.g., 3840 and 1600.

It doesn't sound like this monitor's resolution scales very well with an M1, either.

1) Curved 38" Nano IPS Ultrawide (21:9 ratio similar to the height of 32" 16:9 monitors)
2) Flat 42" OLED TV 16:9 ratio
I personally prefer the consistent picture of a Nano IPS panel, whereas my C1 OLED was annoying to use in a desktop environment due to the auto brightness limiter (ABL) kicking in randomly.
You also have to keep in mind that using an OLED for desktop usage requires you to actively change your habits to minimize burning out the OLED pixels. You won't have to worry about any of that for IPS panels.
Anyway, after 6 hours or so, the monitor developed a ghosting/image retention that doesn't go away.
I have never experienced this with any other monitors, not even after many years. Even when switching inputs, it still retains the image from another input (another system, actually). Considering that it has these issues from the fist day I don't even think about asking for a replacement, but a refund. I had my Dell for 4 years now and it's still running strong.
On the side note though, it worked great with my M1 Mac until this happened. No flickering or other issues that were reported here.
EDIT: I have to be fair to LG and provide an update on my experience with this monitor. After the big failure on the first day when the monitor was affected by an image retention issue, I have been able to find a YouTube video that has solved the problem.
Since then I was happy with it on both Mac and Windows, so I can definitely recommend it.
I like the colors and the refresh rate. It requires a bit of calibration but once that's done everything works great.
I still wish it had 4 USB ports instead of just 2 and a KVM, but I guess I got spoiled by my previous monitor.

I was able to fix it with a video similar to this one: https://youtu.be/LdbqwF_KCzI
However, I'm not feeling confident this will survive a long time considering it was used only 6 hours before this issue showed up.
I'm still thinking about returning it.
