If you're at all serious about gaming, you can't beat this right now. I got in a little cheaper, but it's a fine buy here.
My one complaint is if you will be adjusting it a lot, both the screen and housing are fingerprint magnets.
After using it for a bit, I really think OLED is the next step up for graphical fidelity in gaming. Even for general productivity it's a notable improvement over my previous LG 35WN65C-B which was pretty decent.
The text fringing is annoying for sure, but going back to a non-OLED monitor I think I would find the starkly inferior picture quality to be a lot more bothersome. And thankfully the guy behind Blur Busters has been leading a push [github.com] for support for different sub-pixel layouts. I've had 0 problems with performance / inputs, and the gloss finish actually performs pretty well with light reflection.
I definitely agree about the fingerprints though - I don't even know how or when I touched my screen for them to get there 🤨

Going from a LCD to OLED is a 95% jump. Going from QD-OLED first gen to QD-OLED second gen will be a 5% jump, but will have notably higher prices when they launch. Also the current gen monitors have finally had all their bugs worked out, and who knows what bugs could pop up and how long the fixes will take next gen.
If you want an OLED monitor, I'd definitely just go with this one. Second gen will be a little brighter and have a bit more burn-in resistance. The latter is good for OLED monitors, but if you do the sorts of things that will cause burn in, second gen won't be immune, just more resistant. It's also possible that Dell will shorten the burn-in warranty next gen, if they're finding replacements to be painful with their current 3 year offering.
Best advice, just don't buy OLED if you play the same game every day or do the same productivity work full-screen every day. Otherwise it's fine. I'm at 4000 hours on my DWF and zero burn-in.
