$100 off plus additional $100 off with Code AWOLED10. Lowest price so far for a new unit. Not necessarily a slick deal, but if you've been waiting for a lower than usual price on a monitor with a 3-year burn in warranty, this might be the time. I finally bought this today after tracking the price for a long while. Be advised there is a posted rumor that 2nd gen OLED gaming monitors are right around the corner with increased brightness and increased burn in protection. I decided not to wait but FYI.

I own this, bought it on the last sale. It's a very nice monitor, but it has one serious drawback! If you use it for longer than 6 hours, you have to run the pixel refresher to make sure it doesn't develop any image retention / burn in.

This only sucks because I use it when I work from home for 8 hours or more a day and it is frustrating to have to run the refresher in the middle of my shift.
The 38 inch is LCD, while the 34 inch in this thread is OLED.

They're two completely different monitors. The 34" has the best HDR experience of any monitor on the market. The 38" doesn't have a useable true HDR, as it has two few local dimming zones. It's an IPS panel, instead of the QD-OLED in the 34". The 34" is better in every way (faster response times, higher color gamut, incredible HDR, less overshoot, etc), aside from the obvious risk of burn-in on an OLED panel. There's also the non-standard pixel layout on QD-OLED that can cause some text fringing, but it's not really noticeable unless you put your face right up to the screen. The 34" is a far superior gaming monitor, but the 38" is probably the better choice for productivity work. I got the 34" about a month ago, and it's jaw-dropping how much better the HDR gaming experience is than the 38" that I upgraded from. Games that looked decent on the old Alienware look stunningly beautiful on the QD-OLED.

I bought the 38" LED Alienware, it gets delivered Wednesday. My TV is a Sony OLED, but I thought for how I use my monitor I would not want the burn in risk with OLED.

Do not think, just buy. Smilie Seriously, I never thought I'd go bigger than a 27" 1440p. I also never, ever was going to buy curved monitor. I was dead set against them after seeing some in MicroCenter a few years ago.

We'll I caved Oct/Nov of last year after seeing multiple highly rated reviews of this monitor. I upgraded from a Asus ROG Swift PG279QZ IPS 165hz.

I have not regretted paying full price for a single second. Sure it has the pixel refresh pop-up after so many hours. You know what I do, I ignore it. It goes away after about 10 -20 seconds. When I'm finished with the monitor or know I'm going to be away for more than 15 minutes I just turn the monitor off and back on and the pixel refresh pop-up is there. I initiate it and let it do its thing while I'm gone. It's great when I'm not going to be using it for hours as it will turn the monitor off after the pixel refresh has completed.

I do agree, this is probably not a good productivity monitor. Why would you buy an "Alienware" monitor anyway for office type work. Confused

If you love PC gaming I don't see why you will not love this screen. Maybe if your into serious competitive play, then you'd want a 24" 1000hz screen. But the AW3423DWF keeps me warm and comfy on those weekend days and late nights of hardcore gaming.

Quote from DirkBelig :
I'm waiting for the 2nd generation of these with glossy screens even though my studio is in the basement and I keep the lights out. My bigger concern is what am I going to do with my existing two monitors, a nice 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync and an older 24" Dell UltraSharp 1200p. Mounting them above it would require craning my neck and that seems ehn.

The panels have nothing to do with the coating. A manufacturer can get a 1st gen QD-OLED panel and they can slap on matte, glossy or w/e's in between.

Unfortunately no one has done glossy like back in the early 1440p days with the eBay variants of LG panels or Mac monitors. The anti-glare coating on this monitor is not aggressive, but it's not a clear black reflection

Lastly the 2nd gen QD-OLEDs are going to be Double QHD 49" or w/e the current 32:9 size is. Like Neo G9 but less curvature

Ok so I've had mine for a week now and at first I was skeptical of this monitor as OLED for PC usage worries me. I can't speak to the burn in yet but I'm going to just use it however I want and deal with their warranty for burn in at the end of my 3 years. The other thing I was worried about was SDR brightness and a glossy screen reflecting a lot of light since I sit across from two windows. I heard and I'm not sure if this is true the models made in the last few months have a new anti reflection coating on them and it seems to work extremely well. Yess I can see reflections if I look for them but it's way better than I ever thought a glossy screen could be so that worry is alleviated. The last thing was text fringing. I found that using clear text on windows helped clean it up enough to allow my eyes to be able to adjust and I haven't had any problems reading text on it. I even use this monitor for work and coding and haven't had any eye fatigue from trying to read text on the monitor. So to sum it all up I think OLED has more rumors than truth being spread around unfortunately so if you're on the fence just buy it.

As others have stated, check your Amex promos. I was offered $120 off $599+ purchase.

Several people are mentioning burn in risks. My question is how "quickly" are we talking about? Or does it "add up" over time if same static images are in same place but periodically instead of a single instance.

I use my current 34" UW for both personal and work. My job is mostly web-based apps etc but lot of items on these apps are static like tabs, logo etc etc.

Are we talking you leave a static image/text in one place for a few hours a day boom, burn in?

Normally when I'm not using the computer, monitor goes to sleep in 5-10 minutes and when I AM using it, I'm constant switching windows/apps etc etc. Reading all these comments makes it sound like you leave something static for a few hours and you're screwed.

Second, how "bad" or fuzzy is the text? Again my job is mostly looking at text based information. Is it really that bad?
