The AW3423DWF is a glossy 34 inch QD OLED ultrawide that stands out for gaming, with vivid colors, strong immersion, and a 165Hz panel that feels like a major upgrade over older LCD ultrawides. Dell's 3 year burn in warranty and generally better warranty coverage are recurring advantages, and the sale price around $500 makes it look especially strong value. The main tradeoffs are OLED upkeep, possible text fringing, and a very forward stand that may need a deep desk or arm mount. Some units also arrive with joystick, coating, cable, or faint whine issues, so it suits gamers who can live with OLED quirks.

  • The deal stacking with Amex statement credit can reduce the effective purchase price toward the mid-$400 range.

  • The glossy display can provide a wide, colorful look that feels impressive at the sale price.

  • The monitor includes a 3-year burn-in warranty when purchased new.

  • The OLED panel can deliver strong gaming performance with manual pixel refresh maintenance that feels manageable.

  • The navigation joystick can fail to work out of the box, which can force a return or replacement.

  • 10-bit color at 165Hz may not be supported, requiring a lower refresh rate to enable 10-bit.

  • The monitor can show quality issues out of the box, including micro-swirls or defective controls.

  • The screen can intermittently go black for a few seconds during games, and cable strength may contribute.

I own an earlier version of this monitor with the gsync hardware.

While the monitor is fine the screen has started delaminating. Meaning, when it's off it looks like parts of the glass are almost shaved off. I reached out to dell support as it's still under warranty. They asked our pictures even after I explained the issue. They said it was "physical damage" not covered by warranty.

I explained they are wrong. The monitor has no damage an has not moved since it was put in the desk. They closed the ticket.

While it's a good monitor, I will never buy another one from them due to this experience.

I received it today and my impressions so far:
I like how wide it is, colors are nice...
But, you need either an arm mount or a really deep desk because it is VERY FORWARD (I did expect this, but it's just one of those 'reality versus expectations').
My main complaint is that mine came with a 'tinnitus' level quiet whine from the rear, and I do not like that. Apparently, it's a known issue (according to the Reddit threads) that some people don't get or you do. 🙃 You adjust the presets/turn on the RGBs to 'manage' it.....

I made purchase using popular cashback site for 15% cashback in morning. It recorded order number with $0 as order price and didn't give cashback. Anyone else facing similar issue? Does it mean that cashback is denied ?

Got mine the other day and it's pretty incredible at this price. If you are on the fence I'd jump on it at this price. The text fringing "issue" seems super minor to me. Really glad I purchased with this sale. Agree with complaints about the stand and forward-ness though.

Just beware the 12-15% cashback site doesn't stack with 10% new customer coupon

This exact same thing happened to me! I was so upset but apparently that's par for course for them now.

Can a monitor nerd weigh in on this vs the LG 34GX900A-B, which is often available for ~$630? 800R vs 1800R, two year warranty on LG and three year on Dell.
1800R is waaaaaay to severe IMO. I don't get motion sickness from displays but tried an 1800R LG and almost immediately returned it since it was making me motion sick.

great monitor, but the protective coating in combination with how they package these monitors is absolutely terrible. they tape a piece of foam to the front of the monitor that leaves residue on the monitor that is impossible to clean.

this is a very common issue with these monitors and there's dozens of complaints on Reddit etc if you Google it.

however, if you do buy this, be sure to do a few common OLED burn-in prevention measures such as:
enabling a black screen saver after 5min
enabling auto-hide taskbar
removing all desktop icons
allowing the built-in pixel & panel refresh to run whenever prompted

The first three aren't necessary as long as the panel refresh is active (set by default). Worst case scenario is after 12 hours it requests a hard refresh that takes 30 mins to complete if you bypass the scheduled 4 hour maintenance refresh
