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.
The AW3423DWF is a 34 inch curved QD OLED ultrawide that stands out for gaming and immersive HDR, with wide widescreen content and no black bars on native format movies. The 34 inch ultrawide layout also makes side by side windows feel natural for productivity, and the panel is praised for looking especially good when clean. Main drawbacks are OLED upkeep and a few quality concerns, including frequent streaks, periodic pixel cleaning, occasional coil whine, and reports of delamination or warranty friction. A strong fit if you want the ultrawide OLED experience and can live with the maintenance.
34" ultrawide gamers who want side-by-side windows without horizontal scrolling because the 34" ultrawide lets two windows snap natively side by side, while a 32" monitor forces horizontal scrolling.
people who mainly play high-refresh games because commenters say you're paying for the high refresh rates and that buyers who don't need them may be overpaying for other tasks.
owners who are willing to do periodic OLED maintenance because one long-term owner says you have to run the OLED pixel screen cleaning periodically, but they've had zero other issues.
buyers who care about HDR presentation for movies and HDR content because an owner reports strong HDR OLED viewing with widescreen content showing no black bars (they cite concert footage and movies like Pineapple Express).
people planning to stack Dell coupons with cashback sites because multiple commenters report that cashback doesn't stack with the 10% Dell coupon and can get denied.
people who hate cleaning artifacts because one owner says the screen is prone to getting dirty and streaks are common no matter how much you wipe it or what cleaner you use.
buyers who want worry-free warranty coverage for screen issues because one commenter reports delamination on an earlier AW3423DWF and says Dell support denied warranty coverage as "physical damage" even though they claim the monitor hadn't moved.
The screen can pick up dirt and streaks easily, periodic OLED pixel cleaning is required, and some units have reported coil whine or delamination. The ports are also older-spec on this model, with HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4.
Yes. A 34-inch ultrawide is made to fit two windows side by side without horizontal scrolling, which is a big productivity upgrade over a 32-inch 1440p display. It still keeps the gaming-focused ultrawide format.
No. The 10% new customer coupon does not stack with the student or education discount, and the same 10% offer also does not combine with the education discount. It's one or the other, so the final discount stays around 10% rather than compounding.
Yes, the 10% Dell coupon can void cashback from 12-15% cashback sites, and denied cashback was reported after checkout. If you want cashback, the safer route is to avoid coupon stacking on the same order.
Yes, if your enrolled AMEX offer is the one-time $100 statement credit after spending at least $500 online at dell.com by 1/31/2026. The order must stay at or above $500 after discounts to qualify.
I've had this in my cart with healthcare discount for a few days. Having trouble pulling the trigger. Would also get 20% back from PayPal and I think 12% from cash back site (?).

Anybody have any ideas on something to use my $75 of dell points on before they expire? I moved them from rewards to dell cash or w/e it's called, but it still expires soon.

I bought this a couple of years ago. Overall I like it a lot, I will say the screen is very prone to getting dirty and streaks are common no matter how much you wipe it or what cleaner you use. But when it's not it's not very noticeable

If you have already used the Paypal offer for another purchase, you are not eligible anymore. Please keep that in mind.
