MSI 342C has a $100 coupon with Amazon. This is the cheapest I've seen it. Makes it the same price as the standard Alienware DWF discount.. except the MSI has HDMI 2.1 for the consoles and USBC power delivery.
Uses the same screen as the Alienware.

Nothing wrong with getting the Samsung but it has micro HDMI and display ports. The Samsung also has some issues with consoles that the MSI does not. The MSI supports a 4k 120 input.

Personally I don't have this monitor but it is the lowest price it's been. I have a 27in OLED and it was expensive as well.
Plenty of better monitors for gaming at a lower price. If you are a casual gamer, get a monoprice 35" UW for 300. If you are a pro video/photo person, go mini-led or OLED. If you have a 800 dollar budget and want a big gaming monitor, get the Odyssey on sale at 600 via BB. This monitor seems to cater to a niche I don't quite understand.

It's very "niche" to care about color accuracy

The display is amazing, it genuinely changed how I game, enjoying turning off all of the lights putting on all headphones and getting fully immersed. It is by far the best quality panel I have ever owned.
Also when in the rgb accurate mode it has really worked well for doing photo work.
Downsides:
Currently it is sitting at a mandated oled cleaning phase that I was not able to cancel so it is totally off for 3-4 minutes while it does that. I understand they are putting out a firmware update to fix this but right now it is *very* annoying, you can only pause it a couple of times before it forces the refresh.
The pre-defined color profiles for it are a bit finicky it and has taken a bit to find ones that work well for what I do.
The default text in windows was a little fuzzy. (This is a larger issues with oled monitors). I had to get an alternative to cleartype app to get them back to sharp.
With any very-widescreen monitor it takes some getting used to. You can split it a bit to have side by side apps but if you need to have side by side monitors just get two normally sized ones it will play nicer.
I am happy I got it, but if you are primarly focused on productivity I would go for a good mini ips monitor in a standard form factor. But for gaming and movies it is fantastic.
Then streaming devices like Rokus and gaming consoles won't output a 21:9 image.
