I just bought one of these and chatted Dell to get a price adjustment.

It's not a huge discount, but these are so consistently well reviewed and already considered a pretty good value at MSRP.

I'd recommend waiting if you can. New Oled monitors were announced by different brands and these older ones will definitely drop by a lot more. I'm actually returning my Neo G9 I got for BF from Amazon and waiting on the new ones they announced last month.
I bought this back when they first released. Gaming looks great but the desktop text clarity does bother me some. I was using a 1440p 165hz HP Omen 27i before and it was much sharper/clear for text compared to this. As others mentioned, it's not bad but it is noticeable and kind of a bummer considering this monitor cost more than 2x as much as my previous one (since I bought my previous one brand new when it released too).

The minor annoyance aside - the thing that does greatly bother me is the coil whine. It ... is ... IRRITATING. Sometimes I can calm it down some by enabling/disabling the monitor's built-in lighting effects. For mine it gets louder when there is less image being lit up by the pixels. Screens that are predominantly black... higher coil whine sound. I pretty much have to wear my headphones to help me ignore it.
Unreal I bought this last month and am ONE day out of Dell's 30-day price guarantee. For anyone else this is really good deal on an excellent OLED gaming monitor, emphasis on gaming monitor as this is NOT a great daily driver for desktop work.

I used a specific link and managed to get the 20% cash back coupon. I put it in my cart and left it for a couple hours and got emailed for a 30% off coupon. Not sure if slick deals allows for URL pasting, will PM you the link. Anyone else feel free to PM me as well and I will try to help. I found the link on Reddit.
Would you mind sharing the link with me, as well?

The text doesn't bother some people but it's objectively worse than ips or tn because of the sub pixel layout. Maybe it doesn't bother you but that doesn't change the fact that it's blurry.

I received mine about a week ago. Love it! Gaming is amazing, text is clear as anything else I have had. Read the Tom's Hardware review. They fixed multiple issues with the DW model.

Quote from Materialism :
I don't think OLED is a good choice if you wfh. You should probably get the gigabyte m32u instead, it's the best do it all monitor in my eyes if you can't have an oled for whatever reason. for me, I just split up my setup. Small LG ultrafine in my bedroom for wfh, and an LG C2 42 for when I'm not working (browsing, watching, gaming on the gaming pc)
This is good advice, imo. I almost bought the M32U on BF when it was $550. Wish I did and waited for a LG MiniLED with high dimming zones.

I think you should pick it up for $5xx if it comes up again, the value of the monitor is still great and you could just resell it when the next best thing comes out. Waiting is your enemy, enjoy now

I've been wanting one of these and almost pulled the trigger but I ultimately decided to wait. I would rather have a 1440p 27" or 32" in OLED personally so hopefully some nice stuff comes out this year.

Quote from StubbieCA :
Hi everyone, despite using the 30% coupon from Capital One Shopping and the monitor already delivered over 3 days ago, there is no sign (email or Purchase and Rewards tab) the purchase is at least being tracked by Capital One Shopping. Here's my timeline for reference:

1/24 - AW3423DWF placed in cart on Dell website

1/25 - Capital One Shopping 30% Email received. The email link and Extension Offer Button are used to complete the Purchase on the Dell website.

1/27 - Order shipment email received. Delivery was made on the same day and also Delivery Email was received.

1/28 - Emailed to help@CapitalOneShopping regarding the purchase not being tracked. Provided a screenshot of the 30% offer Extension used during checkout.

1/30- Support@CapitalOneShopping responded, stating that no investigative action will be taken until 30 days after purchase. No promise of resolution, only that they can start researching the issue after 30 days of purchase. Multiple emails were exchanged for clarification and details but just got back canned responses.

This is where I am right now. I suspect that might of been an issue on my end that caused a hiccup with the CaptialOne tracker. Maybe it is because I have Honey, uBlock Origin, or other miscellaneous extensions installed on my Chrome browser. I cannot confirm the cause since CapitalOne Shopping did not provide any details to me despite our email exchanges.

I plan to wait another 2 weeks to see the situation updates. If the purchase is still not showing up as being tracked as "pending", I would return the monitor back to dell.

The monitor itself is performing pretty great. I am coming from a Samsung G70A, 28-in 4K 144hz monitor. The text fringing issue did not bother me at all after messing with the ClearType settings on Windows 11 and changing the scaling to 125%. After tweaking the monitor to match a Reddit user's recommendation, it is clear that AW3423DWF is the best monitor I have ever used. Auto pixel refresh after 4 hours of use is slightly more annoying than I expected since the process took over 6 minutes. I did not notice any fan noise from the monitor, at least not any louder than my desktop fans (Lian Li SL V2 fans). All in all, I would like to keep the monitor if the 30% Capitalone Shopping offer comes through.

I'm in this exact same situation. Trying to decide if I should just return the monitor or risk keeping it and ask cap1 to investigate in two weeks, but my return period will be closed at that point.

I had this issue with another cash back site and they investigated and fixed it before the product I ordered even arrived. Cap1 forcing you to wait 30 days before bothering to investigate is a major downfall of their cash back system.

Can you please shed some more light about its unsuitability for work tasks? I tend to use my PCs for work and gaming. Lots of spreadsheet type work.
Maybe the size and type of display. I have a LG 38" and due to its larger screen size and maybe being an IPS display has been great for desk work. Text is crisp and sharp.

Great monitor. I haven't had any of the text clarity issues that other people have complained about.

It's not even showing under Rewards and Savings Dashboard?
