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.

Also is it better to wait for the G-Sync model to go on sale over this one? (any pros or cons)
New deals are on the way for the newer OLED/MiniLED 4k models coming so you may want to hold off.

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.
