I spend a lot of time web browsing and just my bookmarks bar in Chrome alone is concerning. So I went with the 34GP83A-B IPS. Awesome monitor. Was tempted to get a VA for the OLED-like contrast.

I've been tempted to go OLED but I use it probably like 80% of the time for work (coding) and I don't want to worry about my IDE or terminal window being in the same position for 8+ hours and burning in. Also, text looks hugely better on this than a comparable OLED. Blacks aren't as deep obviously but games still look absolutely beautiful on this thing.
IPS won't burn in but that doesn't mean it will age flawlessly either. Been having IPS monitors for over a decade before switching to OLED, it's safe to say that older panels (>5 year) visually deteriorate as well. Max brightness will decrease significantly, color shifting, compromised color accuracy etc Such issues can be deal breakers just like burn-ins to someone, in terms of usability.
Generally speaking 3yr warranty on the AW monitors is very solid, basically guaranteed 4-5 year of good use if you can replace by end of the 3rd year. To me that's a very solid life span for any monitor, YMMV.
Then there is always the philosophical debate whether it's better to have a reasonably capable device that lasts longer or the best of its kind for a shorter period of time. Personally I went up from AW3420 (which is almost identical to this monitor with LG nano IPS panel) to the AW3423DWF, there is absolutely no way back.
With all above said, the newer generation of either WOLED or QD-OLED does look very promising, if one is on the conservative and frugal side, get this and wait the newe OLED monitora to dip down to a more reasonable price range and I'd say definitely give them a try.
