Deal Details
I specifically purchased this monitor to use with my racing simulator and have been using it for several days. The build quality is excellent and feels premium. There are a couple of minor things to keep in mind, which were not dealbreakers for my needs. This 2023 model does not support HDMI 2.1, which limits the frame rate to 100 FPS (HDMI only). The DP and USB-C modes work up to 175 FPS. The speakers are not good, but I don't use them. I believe the USB-C charging is limited to 65 Watts, which is also a non-issue for me. For the money, this is one of the best values available for a high-quality OLED, and it comes with a 3-year warranty. For $500, you can't go wrong, IMO.

Why would it burn in if you are using it for gaming? I have an IPS Black screen for work.

I'm looking to 'downgrade' from my 48 inch OLED TV, mostly in size.
This any good? or should I just wait for the costco MSI deal at this point.

No, but the coating is very subtle—the colors pop. It also does well in my lit room and doesn't have a deep purple tint. Not too many OLEDS are glossy, especially for $500.

I like it. The 3440 x 1440 resolution works well at this size. It's 110 DPI, whereas a 48" screen is lower. Additionally, it's significantly easier to drive high FPS with 3440 x 1440 than with 4K. Is the MSI deal at $500? They have a Samsung for $600, but it has terrible reviews, and the Tizen software has a lot of bugs.

I thought about this to replace my toddler broken gigabyte 34 in. But the huge bottom bezel is bugging me.

It doesn't bother me, but I'm using it for a racing simulator.

I just noticed Acer has many new MiniLED monitors even an ultrawide but its $480:
https://www.amazon.com/stores/pag...ms=miniled

Supposedly they have a 240hz with 2304 dimming zones but I can't find anything or where to buy:
https://www.acer.com/us-en/predat...34-miniled

So I might wait for reviews and a sale for that...or wait for more eyes on tandem oled's life expectancy.

I tried an INNOCN mini-LED with over 1000 FALD a while back and returned it. While it got extremely bright (to the point of searing your eyeballs), the blacks were still nowhere near as inky and rich as those of OLED, especially in low light or a dark room. The mini-LEDs will be brighter than almost any OLED, but how bright do you need it to be a few feet from your head? Additionally, the mini-LED can't achieve pixel response anywhere close to that of any OLED. I use mine for a racing simulator, so it makes a difference to me. OLED is a better technology, unless you need to use your monitor in an extremely bright room, similar to the newer FALD mini-LED TVs. I haven't tried HDR out yet for gaming on this Acer, as I've only used YouTube demos, because none of the racing games I play support it. However, it does get quite bright. I believe reviews showed around 1000 nits. The INNOCN I tried out can display much higher, but you also can't control the brightness in HDR. Perhaps the Acers are different.
