Definitely different monitors targeted at different uses. The LGgn850 is targeted at mixed uses with good gaming performance. The Alienware is a gaming target. If you're buying for gaming, go with the Alienware. If you're just looking for good value for mixed use and aren't willing to pay a few hundred more for it, you're probably not going to maximize the Alienware anyway, but the Alienware is better if you want a better gaming set up. Ignoring price I personally would always pick the Alienware and have done so in nearly the same scenario.
RTINGS says:
"If you want the best gaming performance, the Dell Alienware AW3423DW is a better choice than the LG 34GN850-B. The Dell looks better in dark rooms, delivers a better HDR experience, and has better motion handling. The LG does have better text clarity, so if that's important to you, consider this monitor instead."
I had the LG34gn850-B and it died on me twice (was able to warranty it first time, no luck second time). It gave me nothing but issues. Dead pixels, dead panel, randomly stopped working. I thought I was going crazy I've never had monitor issues having built computers for 25+ years. It was early on production so maybe that's ironed out, but it was not fun. I ended up upgrading to an Alienware a few years ago (AW3821DW) and I've been very happy. This monitor listed is the successor to the one I use right now (and love). I would 100 times out of 100 go this Alienware over LGgn850-B based on that experience (it's not fun to ship back a monitor for repairs/warranty). I can't speak to the OLED text clarity though, since my panel is IPS.
Alienware is slightly bigger and heavier, but the build quality is way better and the atrocious ergonomics on the LG are also a (hindsight) red flag for me.
If you've never checked out RTINGS you should - it's a great website for tech reviews.
Know if that becomes $200 off $1000? If so the 32" becomes a great deal - working on posting it now.
Doesn't appear to be the case for me, as it says:
"Get a one-time $100 statement credit by using your enrolled eligible Card to spend a minimum of $500 in one or more purchases online at dell.com by 12/31/2024. See terms."
Any info or insights on whether a 38" version of the same monitor is in the works? Feel like will be stuck with 34 for a very long time. mostly need realestate for work and ps5 gaming.
$100 off $500 with AMEX offers. YMMV. Makes this very slick.
With what Amex card do you get offers like that? the only Amex card I have right now is the Amex Bread card that gives me a flat 2% cashback everywhere with no foreign transaction fees.

If your going to be console gaming Asus has some monitors on their website that they say work with consoles and have Displayport 2.1, this monitor only has Displayport 1.4 and reading the reviews on it alot of people complain that the Alienware monitor doesnt have any kind of protective film or layer on the screen so its very easy for the screen to start getting scratches on it over time. The Alienware monitor does have great colors and looks awesome from the reviews though, for the price it still might be worth it but its good to know the pros and cons when making a big purchase.

Doesn't look to be the gsync version of this monitor. Am I missing that? Gsync is important for anyone with an nvidia card. IMO gsync > freesync for those users.

I checked all 7 of my Amex cards and the only offer I had was 10% off up to $1000 purchase

This is a great deal! But sure wish these monitors would jump up in resolution from the 1440p. I have a curved Dell ultra wide 34" with the same resolution as this one, that I bought like 8 years ago for $700. Granted, not OLED, but a jump in resolution is what will make me upgrade.

This is an OLED.
That's the difference, all the OLED vs IPS trade offs apply.

It's possible others might have a better offer!
