"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.

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

With the 10% off, the 10% back from cashback site and the Amex offer, I can get this monitor for about $450 before tax. I was considering the LG 34GN850-B Ultragear deal for $329 since I wanted to spend less than $400 for a quality 34-inch ultrawide monitor and that one seemed to fit the bill. But at this price, it's worth the extra $$$ to go with the Alienware and its beautiful OLED screen.
Anyone have suggestions for a desk mount for this thing?
