I use it daily. regular dev work with no issues. I think some people can be sensitive to the flicker and text clarity, so check it out at a store nearby if you can.

For me, the wording on the Amex offer is "Earn a one-time $100 statement credit after using your enrolled eligible Card to spend a minimum of $500 in one or more purchases online at dell.com by 1/31/2026. See terms."
So separate charges should still work

Community Reviews

The AW3423DWF stands out as a 34 inch QD OLED ultrawide that feels excellent for gaming, with 165 hertz, deep blacks, strong contrast, and bright movie playback. It also works well for everyday work and even development, and the firmware can now be updated through the monitor connection. The main tradeoffs are OLED text fringing, occasional flicker sensitivity, pixel refresh prompts, and some burn in risk over long use. At $450, it reads as a very strong value if you can live with the OLED quirks.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes. It is repeatedly described as excellent for gaming, and it also works well for regular dev work, office apps, and 50/50 WFH use. The main caveats are OLED text fringing and possible flicker sensitivity, so it is best if you can tolerate those or preview it in person.

    SorryUHaveLowIQScarletBike772ScarletBike772kjvmartin

  • Yes, the offer can still be fulfilled even when Dell splits the purchase into multiple charges. Separate charges have posted, then combined later, and Amex still marked the offer as fulfilled; buying extra items to exceed $500 has also been used to qualify.

    jiujitsuguypoorboy168motorxoomBrianC9184

  • Long-term ownership reports show little to no burn-in after a couple of years, but another report notes a small amount after about 4 years of nonstop work and gaming. For typical mixed use, it has held up well, but OLED burn-in is still possible over time.

    epiqu1nBergkamp10

  • Yes. The firmware update issue was resolved, and the monitor can now be updated through the DP or HDMI data connection when connected to an Nvidia GPU.

    Prodeje79Bazookatier

  • Yes, it does have speakers, though they are not the main reason to buy an OLED gaming monitor. The practical advice is still to use headphones or external speakers if audio quality matters.

My Amex card is running it's own rewards for dell.com giving extra miles and $100 back on purchases over $500. The 10% discount brought my cart down to ~$480. I tossed in a KB+M to get it over $500, unfortunately, it split up the charges when it actually hit the card, so I don't believe it would have given me the $100 credit. I cancelled as I wasn't that committed to the monitor to begin with. You could get the $799 model (AW3425DW) and get the $100 Amex credit, bringing your total to $699 but the shared Alienware 10% coupon does not work on that model.
I did similar with the new customer 10% coupon and an HDMI cable. I received the Amex credit right after the second charge posted. It doesn't have to be one charge.

For gaming, I don't think my 4070ti super is capable. Its just a beefed up desktop to watch YouTube videos at those specs 😭

Mind you this was a couple years ago, but I understood that the AW3423DWF is often considered better than the AW3423DW (G-Sync version), even with Nvidia GPUs. I recall the gsync version didn't get much needed firmware updates. I recall Linus and monitored unboxed videos. If you find something otherwise, please share!

They resolved those issues. We're now able to update the firmware through the data connection available through the DP or HDMI port on the monitor when connected to an Nvidia GPU.

Crazy how cheap this monitor has become. I paid $1300 for the AW3423DW when it first came out. Great monitors!

I couldn't. I was going to wait until the next panels release, but at this price it can just become a second monitor or gift later.

$450 is a crazy good deal for this. I've had one for a couple years and love it, and it's holding up well – zero burn-in as far as I can see. I agree that not having text fringing would be better, but it's 100% worth it.

I've had this since they first became available, great monitor. I use it for work every day, gaming at night. There's a little bit of burn in, but it's been about 4 years of non-stop use

You can buy multiple items for the $100 cash back. I just but a PS5, Extra controller and a keyboard to get it to 505 and ended up paying 405
