I came from a 27" 1440p monitor prior to the dell. I have had a samsung 49 inch and it broke within the first month (stuck vertical and horizontal lines) and at that point I realized their warranty is only 12 months. Sorry, but I'm not gambling over $1,000 on a product that can potentially be worthless in one year. I returned the Samsung.
The dell has 3 years of support as standard. Not entirely sure if dell 'support,' is the same as a warranty, though.

It is just OK IMHO. The text clarity isn't awesome. It's not as wide as two 27" and the Windows mechanisms for splitting windows on a single screen aren't as simple (to me) as when I had two screens, even with power toys installed. Because I am worried about burn in, I have the taskbar auto-hiding, which adds a constant little tax to various actions. Also, every time Windows decides it doesn't want to hide the taskbar for no reason, it raises by blood pressure 1 mmHg. Also also, every four hours it requests to shut down for 6-8 minutes to run a pixel refresh. Breaks are good for you, and you can say "no, wait until next sleep", but if you do say no (like you're in the middle of a meeting) you have to remember to do it manually or let the monitor go to sleep ideally before the next 4 hours are up again.

Dell does not currently produce an OLED 38" monitor.
The AW3821DW in this post is an IPS monitor, and that panel type doesn't have risk of burn-in, and shouldn't ask you for "pixel refresh," ever. You likely confused the AW3421DWF, or one of its variants, for the monitor in this post.
Text clarity is also greater in the AW3821DW vs your monitor; this is due to the triangular subpixel layout utilized in your OLED monitor. The AW3821DW in this post uses traditional subpixel layout of three subpixels in a line; thus, it does not exhibit the text clarity issue. Additionally, text clarity can typically be improved with Windows ClearType.

This is the cable I bought so I could use this monitor with my standing desk setup:
Silkland Long DisplayPort 2.1 Cable 20FT, DP 2.0 Cable [16K@60Hz, 8K@120Hz, 4K@240Hz, 2K@360Hz] 80Gbps HDR, HDCP DSC 1.2a, Compatible FreeSync G-Sync Gaming Monitor 4090 3090Ti 7900XTX https://a.co/d/epRmXjE
Well, my comment might still be helpful for anyone considering the deal above vs. an OLED of the same size.
Go look up this specific model on Amazon [a.co]. Filter reviews by this specific model S49AG952NN (else it includes other Odysseys). Then sort by most recent. About 40% of the reviews are unit failures ranging from bad to catastrophic. Then Samsung's awful warranty process including denials. The fact that Amazon blends different model reviews masks the fact that this is like a 2-3 star product.
This unit is known for: scanline problems, glass popping/cracking randomly, dead pixels, failure of the power supply, Displayport/firmware problems, flickering, and the list goes on.
Check Reddit if you want to corroborate.
I've never seen such a high percentage of bad reviews from, what I thought, a reputable manufacturer. It's a shame too - I adore my Samsung CRG9.
If you want to remain optimistic, you may want to wait for an Amazon deal. At least you have a chance to return it. Samsung support will screw you in the likely event your unit fails in the 1st year.
