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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.
I came to recommend he do the same. Samsung monitors are notorious for their buttons breaking. They tried to say I used too much force. Mind you.. This monitor was a month old and I have a 6yo monitor right next to it with no issues. Anyway, they lost the dispute and haven't heard from them since. Free monitor for me.

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.
Only $150? That's light weight. I got $610 from em.

Would this be a mistake to buy if you are not into gaming? Text problems? Stay away from oled? Thanks
No, of course these are also fine for other tasks, but you're paying for high refresh rates etc. that you probably don't really need.
