May still be worth it to try it over there. may be a bit cheaper
Very solid build quality and performance.
+ 240hz is great. I feel the difference substantially from 144hz TN panel
+ OLED is amazing. The contrast, response time, and level of detail is something I didn't even know I was missing. I kind of agree with the "upgrade to an OLED is more substantial than GPU upgrade"
+ HDR is amazing. color pop and quality is next level.
+ Ultra wide is very immersive. No issues with compatibility from ten or fifteen games I've tried so far
Potential negatives:
- burn in risk is real. Should be fine for hours of games and light productivity. Would not recommend OLED for daily work monitor, but some people do this and have no issues. Does have 3 year warranty.
- vrr flicker. Mild in games I've tried. But not just this model. all OLEDs have this when gysnc/free sync enabled and frame rate fluctuates a lot, i.e. menus, cutscenes, etc
- Ambient light is a concern. Mine is in my basement so other light is not an issue. If you are in a bright room, qd OLED does lose contrast and can have a purple ish reflection. WOLED and/or matte finish monitors may work better in bright rooms.
- The USB input is lacking. Only one USB c and one USB a
- No headphone Jack
- It is a blue color on back of the monitor and stand. If that was really off putting for me I would get a monitor arm
Despite all the potential negatives, I am very happy coming from a seven year old dell TN. The side by side is crazy to see
I would love to see it in store but my bestbuy doesn't have it
my amex had a $100 back on $500+ spent at dell.com or did
I had to add it from Amex app > offers > dell offer

Ahhh, I see. That $200 dell credit would make it very good price imo
It is a great monitor for me never owning an OLED/HDR monitor.
If I already had one , would maybe wait one more gen or more upgrades next year
I would love to see it in store but my bestbuy doesn't have it

Also, how does this monitor compare to my aw3421dw? My Window is directly behind my monitor right now, and I find it pretty hard to see some dark scenes with the IPS display. I love my oled tvs though.
