My first monitor came with dead pixels. I didn't open it until after the 30 day return period so they sent out refurbs as replacements. The refurbished units all had problems (dead pixels and scratched to the anti-reflective coating). I assume they're from people returning for the same issues I was but Dell seems to just throw them back into circulation as long as they power on.
They finally sent out a brand new monitor after 3 refurbs but that also had slight scratches to the anti-reflective coating on the top corners. I ended up just dealing with it since it's hard to see them unless viewing dark imagines at certain angles.
For this price it might be worth taking the risk but I wouldn't expect a perfect monitor if they're coming from the same pile as the Dell refurbs they send out for replacements.

i can fortunately say that i am not suffering from any dead pixels or any other defects. i am a bit miffed that the factory calibration report was not in the box. i could calibrate the monitor myself further using calman and a i1pro spectro but the spectral range on that device is not sufficient for QD-OLED, which has a narrow spectral bandwidth. i would need a $10k spectro to calibrate it correctly and I'm not about to do that.
the text concern is way overblown. completely content with the way text is rendered. my displayport kvm switch cannot support 3440x1440p @ 175hz + HDR so I am in the process of ordering a new DP KVM switch that does.
overall i'm content with the product especially buying it at $756 + tax. there were some scratches on the back of the monitor where you plug in cables but I can't really complain about that. The display itself is clean which is all that matters.
oh and im on the latest firmware too
edit: nevermind, the display is not perfect. there are some permanent scratch marks from the styrofoam packaging. you can only see it when a light source reflects off the display aggressively and you'll see it an an extreme angle. still though, unfortunate there are scratches on the display. i don't think ill be going through the hassle of returning it and getting a new refurb, i think all refurbs will have some kind of scratch like this
edit2: nvm the defect was enough that i want a replacement. called dell and they will ship me a replacement aw3423dw first. once received and confirmed its in good condition, i will be shipping back the defective unit to dell via fedex pickup.
pretty impressed with dell's customer care ill admit
The only thing that irked me was how scuffed up the stand was, otherwise great condition and has been a joy to play on today

It was easy for me because I work in IT. I just purchased a system with it, and eventually sold it to a client.
