This is available from Dell, brand new, at $650.
Get the 10% off sign-up coupon code to knock it down to $585.
Stack with cash back and CC offers, think you are better off with buying new from Dell, vs. playing the open box lottery at BB.

Super fair and agree overall. I've had generally mixed to good luck on BB open-box, but I still got my "fair" condition 42" C2 OLED for $400 (back in 2023) and it was listed as "heavily damaged/missing all accessories" and the only damage to it was the tape on the box was cut lol. It was never even unpackaged. I had forgotten about the discount from Dell though.

I have this monitor. I went from two Alienware 25" 244hz monitors to this single one and I have to tell you.. it does a really good job serving as "two" monitors by docking windows on the left and right. I really like it. The HDR is great and watching my HDR concert footage is kind of like I'm there. Love the monitor, great price if you get it in good condition.

I got one in August 2023 for $445 brand new thanks to them double crediting me for my Reward Zone certs while sorting out the return swap scam that someone pulled on them without catching before selling it to me as an Open Box-Excellent unit. Someone had bought the DWF and returned their DW to BB naf and no one realized the color was wrong and it had been changed. Big hassle, but worked out terrifically for me.

Very good monitor and I stopped playing my console because the 1000 nit HDR image driven by my whomping gaming rig meant it was the best way to play.

Buy the warranty. Best Buy does dead pixel warranty coverage. Or they used to at least. You should confirm before you buy.

To be honest, I am disappointed by this monitor. I had a dell 34 inch before non-OLED. Yes, the colors are better, but in general the picture it is not more clear for everyday work.
I totally miss the convenience of the KVM switch and the built in speakers that were present in my previous monitor but was spared out of this one. If you use multiple computers with a single monitor, consider one with a KVM switch.

This has a kvm, not sure how you do not know that I have two of these monitors. I use them side by side for two different computers. You plug in a usb "a" into the computer and the usb b into the bottom of the screen where it says Alienware in the front of it or you can plug it into the back it has like 4 usb inputs . It also has sound drivers so you can plug in a speaker system inside via usb for audio input or even an aux cable. I use the Logitech g560 via Bluetooth to a Mac mini and work laptop and usb into ps5 for 3 audio devices. Please do your own research.

I had no idea about this. Are you saying if I switch inputs between work computer and personal computer, the keyboard and mouse will follow? Wouldn't I need a USB connection from both machines into the back of the device?

I had the same experience with the Samsung Odyssey G8 OLED. Oled just doesn't really do it for me in production use. Doesn't look right and not as crisp.
Looking into mini led now as that seems to be a spot between led and OLED.

Unfortunately, the product page, the manuals, the attached cables are all very clear that this product does not support USB upstream switching based on the selected input source of the monitor. Reddit users all describe the need separate KVM switch. From the manual:

- One SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1) Type-B upstream port
- One SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1) Type-A downstream charging port
- Three SuperSpeed USB 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1) Type-A downstream ports

I did not know I will miss the convenience of the second upstream port (or a USB-C video input that is used as for upstream on many alternatives)
