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.

    PocketsThick

  • 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.

That's unfortunate. Would've thought that it falls under manufacturing defect

Yes I used the 10% coupon. So the 15% cashback site doesn't stack up with 10% dell coupon?
I've never had issues in thr past, but if so, major bummer for me. I had $100 off $500 with AMEX. I used the coupon but then had to buy something else to get back over $500, still "saved" like $15... but not if I dont get cashback. I've seen it show $0 initially before but then change I think? Not positive but mine is also showing $0.

It's been this low last year too. If you want to wait, the new ASUS TrueBlack OLEDs are imo a worthwhile upgrade.
Is there any deal gonna happen on the asus? They seem to be around 1K right now

I have LG playing the same "physical damage" game with me on a brand new G5 TV that died after 2 weeks and 2 days. So I checked the actual warranty and for my TV it clearly states something like "Damage or failure of the Product resulting from misuse, abuse, improper installation/repair/maintenance". I suspect your warranty has something similar. You may want to try that. These companies use "physical damage" as a magic word, but the warranty is pretty clear that there is a need for a legitimate suspicion that you messed with it. I wish I could tell I had a happy ending with them, but LG just kept quoting me imaginary warranty terms that they pulled out of their a#!$, so I went the credit card road and was granted a chargeback after the dispute was ruled in my favor for defective product (you may want to try that also). Of course LG being as#!^^, they are now trying to collect the money from me.

Is 240hz that much of an upgrade on a 180hz monitor? My son is insisting it is but I'm not sure it's worth the cost.

Unless he's playing competitive shooting games then it won't matter.

Correct myself and several users have recently confirmed coupon voids cashback.

I own this monitor and love it. Watching concert footage I filmed in HDR on an HDR oled monitor is really something. Great monitor. Some of my favorite movies were natively filmed in this widescreen format so there are no black bars. Pineapple Express, being one of them.

I'll just add the new customer coupon of 10% does not stack with the student discount.
It's one or the other both yield 10% off but do not stack if there is anyone scouring the 10% . I already tried and it did not work
Thanks for confirming you can't stack 10% off plus education discount

Buyer Beware: I received my unit and it has noticeable coil whine that drives me nuts, it is a very low hum but piercing. Check reddit threads for more info.

I've had this since it came out, zero issues but it's important to note that you have to do the oled pixel screen cleaning periodically. I read stories about text not being clear and what not but my experience has been great. Another thing to note is that all ports are outdated, 2.0 hdmi and dp 1.4, unless they've changed it on newer models. I haven't had the need for 2.1 as the max refresh rate works at advertised speeds.
