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.

  • The 34-inch ultrawide layout can fit two windows side by side without horizontal scrolling.

  • The OLED HDR experience can look strong in HDR footage, including widescreen content without black bars.

    glogloglo

  • The monitor can feel manageable in size, with a 27-inch-like vertical footprint plus extra width.

    DirkBelig

  • The unit can support advertised refresh rates without needing HDMI 2.1 on this model.

    lord_Vader

  • The screen can get dirty quickly and develop streaks that persist despite wiping and cleaner use.

    CnC_Citizen

  • The OLED panel can require periodic pixel screen cleaning to keep performance acceptable.

    lord_Vader

  • Warranty coverage can be denied for delamination when Dell support classifies it as physical damage.

    mrblonde

  • Delivery can arrive with broken security tape and a box side sticking out, which raises condition concerns.

Are you referring to the 20% back on Pay in 4 and PayPal Monthly (pay later)?
Yes - I am referring to the pay in four offer.

It's not limited to 1 transaction. I've done 6 over the past several days. All of them netted 20% back. Have gotten back about $150 across those purchases so far.

-edit-
My bad, I see now where they changed the offer to only 1 transaction. The wording before was that it open to all purchases up to a certain max $ amount. I do have points attached to all 6 of my orders so I guess they changed the terms after those.

Would this be a mistake to buy if you are not into gaming? Text problems? Stay away from oled? Thanks

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?

Shall I cancel and reorder?
Did you use 10% coupon?

It's not that large - it's like a 27" monitor with a bit under 4 inches added to each side. Here is my setup with a 27" Acer Predator G-Sync 1440p display stacked atop this one: https://imgur.com/ujBszYv

I got mine for over two years ago for $445 due to a couple of snafus with Best Buy. Very nice. Just sucks because the beauty of HDR1000 gaming can't be captured by screenshots.

Has anyone made the transition from a 32" 1440p to a 34" ultrawide?

I'm afraid I'd miss the vertical space, but 32" has not been great for doing things side by side. It has been great for gaming though.

My setup doesn't allow for 2 screens either, I can only put one screen on a monitor arm, and it's extended to its limit

I have a 32 inch 1440p regular monitor, its good for mmo's and such but I prefer 27s for FPS.

Thanks, this is good advice. I haven't used it yet but I appreciate the looking out! I think I'm going to pull the trigger today or tomorrow, waited to see if anything better from cash back or dell popped up on actual black Friday
I was able to use the 20 percent back PayPal offer 4 times. YMMV

34" ultrawide is made to snap two windows side by side. Do that on a 32" monitor and you'll have to horizontally scroll. On a 34" ultrawide, both windows become native ratio. No horizontal scrolling. It's a game changer. Makes you so much more productive.

Yes I used the 10% coupon. So the 15% cashback site doesn't stack up with 10% dell coupon?

I tried this and apparently the 12-15% cashback site doesn't stack with 10% coupon. So my cashback was denied


Did you get 12-15% on top of 719.99?
