I have the g-sync version. (AW3423DW, non-F) I do not have any blurry text. Color fringing of text is supposedly an issue with both DWF and DW models, but I personally notice no issue with text on my DW. There is an app called Cleartype native to windows that may assist with this, source: anecdotes on reddit.

I did the DW over the DWF because of the G-Sync Ultimate module. The DWF does have better input latency than the DW on paper, but I havent used a DWF so I can't comment on how it feels vs the DW. The DW latency feels good to me, and I was coming from a Dell S2721DGF which I think has similar latency to the DWF.

At $800 this is pretty awesome, though.

EDIT: There is a major difference in how you update the firmware of the monitors:

DWF firmware can be updated via a software download from the manufacturers website

DW supposedly needs to be physically shipped back to Dell to update it there, and wait for its return. Purchased my DW in Sept. 2023, Firmware version I have is M0B204.

I had the 42" LG C2 on my desk for 3 months before buying this one. Reasonable minds can certainly differ, but I far prefer the Dell for desktop use, on a massive desk, both for productivity and gaming. As compared to the C2, the Dell is free from auto-dimming, has no input lag, and frankly, I also strongly prefer watching streaming media content on the aw3423dw because it doesn't highlight compression artifacts/noise the way the C2 does. HDR is also much more impressive on the qd-oled dell. The C2 will give you a pristine 4k image with the right content (and a lot of fiddling with settings), but personally, I've learned my lesson about trying to use a TV as a monitor.

So... when I just logged in this monitor is going for $900. I see the $50 off $100 but that only gets us to $850. Not understanding how to get to $700?

How is this monitor with reading text. Is it blurry?
Also is it better to wait for the G-Sync model to go on sale over this one? (any pros or cons)
I've got the Samsung 34" OLED. Same panel. Honestly, I noticed the text at first but now my eyes are used to it. Don't really see it anymore. Took a few days. And the gaming and movie colors are simply amazing.

Bought this last time it was on sale for $899 so kind of jealous its now $100 cheaper. Screen looks amazing. But be aware that this is really like 2 27 inch monitors stiched side by side, so if you were coming from a 32 inch monitor its actually not as tall.

Owned this monitor and actually wasn't very happy with it and returned. The 165 Hz is nice but for a curved I think 32" is the peak I'd go without OLED. I've seen friends' models with burn albeit to a much lesser degree than Samsungs.

New deals are on the way for the newer OLED/MiniLED 4k models coming so you may want to hold off.

This is by far the best monitor I've used. I've had it for about 3 months and here are some thoughts:

1. I seriously have no idea what the "blurry text" folks are talking about. I have it in a 3 monitor set up next to LEDs (one 1080p and one 2k) and there's no difference in text clarity.

2. On that note, this thing is beautiful especially next to the regular LED monitors. The perfect blacks are amazing to look at and the colors pop.

3. My only gripe is that you're limited to 8 bit 165 fps or 10 bit 100 FPS. It would be nice if it had HDMI 2.1 and that an issue.

4. It is slightly annoying to have to do the pixel refresh every few hours, but I also have run into no issues with burn in so far.

All in all, I don't regret buying this at $800 a few months back. It's nearly perfect.
