Community Reviews

The AW3423DWF is a 34 inch QD OLED ultrawide that stands out for immersive gaming, strong colors, and useful productivity space. The 3440 by 1440 resolution and 165 Hz refresh rate make it feel fast, while the 1800R curve is described as mellow enough for a comfortable desk setup. It also works well for side by side windows, creative work, and long sessions without reported burn in. The main tradeoffs are softer text than IPS and the fact that it is not 4K, though Dell's warranty and dead pixel policy add peace of mind.

buyers who are shopping specifically for a deal stack (coupon + Amex + PayPal/cashback) because multiple commenters broke down how the 10% coupon, Amex $100 off, and PayPal cashback (and sometimes cashback-site percentages) can bring the effective price down dramatically.
Neelmo r6nick deeznutz206 Neelmo
people who want to use an ultrawide OLED for both work and gaming because commenters say they used it for both and saw no burn-in after months to years, with gaming looking "flawlessly" and productivity benefiting from side-by-side windows and extra real estate.
Eragorn WDEagle efey TheTechTempest
gamers who care about immersive ultrawide visuals because commenters say ultrawide feels more immersive and that they've had amazing performance in games like BF6 on this panel.
DM8574 Birdsht
Dell shoppers who want stronger coverage and a smoother replacement process because commenters recommend buying from Dell for the 0 dead/bright pixel policy and 3-year advance replacement warranty, and one commenter reported Dell CS delivered a replacement in two days after a failure.
ExDeus NateN8140
people who sit at a desk and want a "mellow" curve because commenters say 1800R is a really mellow curve and they were looking for something between very aggressive curves (like 800R) and flatter options.
greystone

people who are very sensitive to text sharpness on OLED because commenters note that fonts can look less sharp/blurry than IPS (including complaints tied to subpixel behavior), even if movies look great.
DM8574 scowl
buyers who are expecting the newest OLED model for the "blurry text fix" at this price point because commenters said the newer-model improvements they were hoping for didn't arrive at this price level (and they were still waiting).
opus123 Mister_E
buyers who specifically need full 4K resolution because one commenter was disappointed that it isn't full 4K and said those "we didn't bother to go full 4K" screens "suck" for them.
fintlewoodlewix
work setups that rely on KVM switching and must reliably hit full resolution/refresh because one commenter said it doesn't necessarily connect at full resolution or refresh rate reliably on their work machines through a KVM, unlike their older Dell monitor.
Golbez01
people who want to avoid any risk of warranty disputes because at least one commenter claimed Dell may not honor the warranty once it breaks and called Alienware products trash based on their experience/expectation.

Common Questions (5)

Yes, the deal can get much cheaper when stacked with offers. A new-email 10% coupon, Amex $100 off $500+, PayPal cashback, and cashback-site rates have all been used together, with one breakdown putting the monitor near $400 total.
deeznutz206 deeznutz206 r6nick efey
Yes. The 34-inch ultrawide layout makes side-by-side windows easy for work, and it also performs well for gaming with strong colors and immersive ultrawide gameplay. The main tradeoff is that OLED text is not as sharp as IPS, though setting Windows fonts to 125% can help.
WDEagle r6nick scowl DM8574
It has held up well in long-term use, with multiple owners reporting no burn-in after about a year or even two years of daily work and gaming. The monitor also prompts a panel refresh every 4 hours to help maintain panel health.
Eragorn r6nick efey TheTechTempest
Buying from Dell is attractive because of the 0 dead/bright pixel policy and 3-year advance replacement warranty. If the panel fails, Dell support has also been reported to replace units quickly, including a replacement delivered in two days.
deeznutz206 xXSluggXx NateN8140 ExDeus
The AW3423DWF is the older model but still considered solid, while the AW3425DW adds a 240 Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms response time versus 165 Hz and 0.1 ms. The newer model costs about $100 more, so the choice comes down to whether those upgrades are worth it.

For me, these "we didn't bother to go full 4k" screens kind of suck.

Unless you have a 4090 or 5090, you won't get enough FPS at 4K for graphically demanding games especially now that everyone is using Unreal Engine 5. I also find ultra wide more immersive.

Not a gamer. Is this overkill for day to day use? Web browsing, videos, emails, Word, Excel.

Some people find text a little blurry because of triangle subpixels but movies will look amazing.

The great thing about modern games is that you can set the resolution however you want. You can have a 4k monitor for productivity and movies then cut off 720 pixels from the vertical. This is especially easy with an LED since there's no backlight to cause annoyance, and it can even keep other apps open. I tend to game in a 1920x1080 window to reduce nausea, even when my RX 6800 can handle 4k, which is often enough.

I bought one of these during one of the last BF sales. Check the cashback sites as some of them have pretty good targeted percentages (mine had 30% when I bought it but YMMV). Combined with the AMEX offer and its a no brainer.

I use it for both but it really shines for gaming and color work. Text is pretty clear and I'm in Excel for a lot of the time. No burn in over the year or so I have had it and it prompts to do a refresh every 4 hours to keep panel health at peak.

Was it 30% last year. I was thinking that it got down to around $400 last year. I keep hoping the newer model will get this low. I still find it funny that last year there were so many replies stating to wait because the newer screens would be out in 2025 that would fix the blurry text, yet that didn't happen, at least not at this price point.

These are trash, like most Alienware products. Dell will try everything in the book not to honor the warranty once it inevitably breaks.

When you register a new mail you get a 10% discount coupon. In the end, the price with taxes 528.41.
Amex gives you $100 cashback if you spend at least $500. PayPal also gives you 4% cashback. So, the total cost of the monitor is $400!

I've had this for two years and absolutely love it. Been doing creative work and gaming on it daily and it's been stunning with no burn in issues.

This monitor doesn't necessarily connect at full resolution or refresh rate for me reliably enough on a couple work machines I'm connected through a KVM.

But my old Dell s3220dgf does. They both use HDMI 2.0 ports and it's a bit of a mystery to me.

Older model but still good. Might be worth it for some to get the new, updated model. Will consider this... too bad the cash back sites haven't started their higher cash back rates yet!

This or the Costco one?

Just loggged in on Dell's website and they ve now dropped the price to 499$. Just below the 500$ threshold you need to get the Amex 100$ off offer.

Too bad Dell, i wont be ordering it at the listed price.
