I almost leaned toward AW3821DW, but since it's my first Ultrawide I felt I'm just gonna try OLED. I bought the BB Plus for $49.99 and then bought this monitor for $799.99. HOWEVER, to offset the cost of the Plus Membership, you can get the $50 certificate in October for BB Plus and Total Plus members if spend $500 or more this month. So kind of effectively saving membership cost. - Membership $50 Certificate Expired

I also used my Chase Paypal for the 5% cashback. Hope this helps anyone deciding.

There was Geek Squad 4 year replacement that costed $120.00 in my checkout if interested. Wasn't the $150 I expected.

UPDATE: Dell also has this on their website for $800. But if you have BB membership, you can get $50 gift card if spend $500 or more till end of October. - Membership $50 Certificate Expired

Tried it. Awesome OLED monitor, but coming from a 32" inch 16:9 … I felt it gave up too much height. I personally wasn't ready for that ultrawide leap
Bh and dell had this price recently. So unless you want to get the best buy membership this isn't too hot.
Yes, the FreeSync model (DWF) is the one that can receive firmware updates.

Quote from Sysop :
LOL, you didn't say anything about a preferred panel type. So you're looking for an IPS then?
And... a 32" ultrawide is in no way reduced quality when compared to 27". Expanding out horizontally just means there are more pixels and more viewable picture. If your computer can't handle the additional pixels, that would mean reduced quality, but the DPI should be the same. If you take ultrawide out of the equation, the 27" will be crisper.
I didn't mention 32" ultrawide, I don't even think those exist. If they do, then I just learned something thanks to your comment.

I meant comparing 27" standard to 32" standard. When both are running at 1440p then yes absolutely the 32" has a lower dpi as you mentioned.

Right now my internal debate is between 34" ultrawide or sticking to 27" (or considering a non-ultrawide move from 27" to 32")

You said: "I'll look for alternatives and read more comments about 32" vs. 34" ultrawide. My understanding is that 32" is always reduced quality when 1440p compared to 27" because you're expanding out the view another 5" diagonal. 27" is always crisper/sharper images." So you did mention ultrawide. It's difficult to understand what you mean if you aren't specific.

Caved and bought one, although I bought direct from Dell (still for $800) because I don't care about the Best Buy membership - and already had it in my cart for a few days. And apparently the Best Buy one is expired. The rtings tests are very promising for this monitor, so I'm gonna take my chances.

Oh... I did not know about that and mine already shipped, but thanks! Honestly as long as I don't get a bad panel, I still think $850 after tax is a good price for it.

Time to go LG C2 then, eh? Wink

btw I upgraded from a 27" to this Alienware and I'm still loving it every day. All tho the 4 hour notification or w/e doesn't seem to pop up anymore asking me to do pixel shift. It only happens when I turn the monitor off.

I still think about that C2 also. I have my desk away from the wall enough that it would have worked..
