    Used this for a few months. Its great for gaming if you're stepping up from 60hz. The biggest drawback is the 6 local dimming zones which are the worst I've seen on any monitor. Any dark scenes will have the borders of the monitor flashing light and it happens often. Movies are unwatchable and HDR is nice but pointless cause of the terrible dimming. You also need a GPU greater than gtx 900 series or else you can't unlock 10 bits per color on a display port; coloured text on 8bpc is bad. Good price but I am much happier with a 48" oled.

      Thank you for this, would not buying, monitor are the one that you actually use to know its draw backs, don't buy to the hype

    • greencomet on 02/07/2021 - 16:15

      I'm trying to decide if it's worth stepping up from the Xiaomi 34" which hasn't really impressed me all that much.

      • reactor-au on 04/07/2021 - 08:38

        IMO anything IPS is a step up from budget VA panels. Black crush is very distracting to me

    • Rage Roze on 04/07/2021 - 12:37

      I looked up youtube reviews for this & it seems pretty good for media consumption/productivity as long as you dont mind almost worthless HDR support considering how incredibly cheap this is as 38” ultrawide monitor

      Sadly, it isnt good enough for me upgrading from og PG348Q especially the fact the larger panel of alienware is wasted from lack of 4K downsampling support for PS5.

  • cheapo3000 on 02/07/2021 - 16:53

    Any left?

    • parta on 02/07/2021 - 17:04

      Try now :)

      • cheapo3000 on 02/07/2021 - 17:20

        Thanks. Just got one!

  • johnno1987 on 02/07/2021 - 16:55

    I was a bit scared buying this with a Radeon graphics card and it not being Freesync certified, but a couple of reviews suggested it works fine.

    I can confirm Freesync works using a 5700XT. Didn’t work straight away, but updated Radeon Software and installed the AW3821DW drivers. All good now.

    Much better monitor with freesync on. Running warzone slightly under max resolution and getting 80-100FPS still. Will get me by until I upgrade my GPU.

    Coming from the 2721DGF, it’s going to take a bit of getting used to the size. But it’s impressed me so far.

  • Chromeo86 on 02/07/2021 - 16:59

    Has anyone tried to return/ contact dell to match the price?

        eBay isn't linked to Dell's system. eBay store orders are processed manually, it typically takes 7-15 days to fulfil order <—- that's what the rep told me a few days ago

        • cheapo3000 on 09/07/2021 - 20:10

          Fulfil as in delivered? So I should not trust the ETA on ebay?

          • deliriouss on 10/07/2021 - 19:44

            @cheapo3000: Fulfil was the exact word the dell rep used, I am not sure whether that means shipped or delivered tbh but yeah the ETA on eBay is just a placeholder. Ordered mine on 29 Jun, shipped on 7 July. ETA on Ebay still says 28 Jul - 4 Aug.

  • easonlang on 02/07/2021 - 17:02

    Awesome deal, came so close to buying this but after spending some time looking through reviews but just can't justify the price when I've already got the Xiaomi 34" :( ozbargain effect kicking in with 108 sold in (presumably) 17 minutes.

  • REDALERT on 02/07/2021 - 17:19

    I'm holding out for a deal on the Samsung 49" G9 Odyssey 🙏🏻😅

    • cille745 on 02/07/2021 - 17:40

      Don't bother, the new Neo Odyssey has just had it's press samples sent out, so it's release is right around the corner, would go for the new one

      • BShandy23 on 02/07/2021 - 17:49

        Oh wasn't aware of a new model :) I'll have to check it out

        I doubt there will be any food deals on a new model, hopefully they have some good sales on the G9 once the new model is on shelves 🙏🏻

        • Rage Roze on 04/07/2021 - 12:21

          I'm one the same boat as you brother. If it drops around $2k sooner, I reckon its worth jumping the gun. Hopefully, Neo Odyssey has hdmi 2.1 for 4k 120fps support, I wouldn't mind paying a bit extra for PS5

  • elcheapo on 02/07/2021 - 17:52

    jumped in to the "buy now think/regret/die later from wife choke of death" bandwagon .. plus my Go mastercard has $100 cashback for $1000 purchase that I would think never use

  • ChatGPT-4 on 02/07/2021 - 17:53

    Can you connect a macbook and win10 laptop to this and configure to display both at the same time?

    • WarriorZ on 02/07/2021 - 17:57

      No it cant do picture in|by picture. This was the exact reason I went for the LG 38WN95C recently.
      Same panel, but nowhere close to this price.

  • WarriorZ on 02/07/2021 - 17:59

    Any recommendations for a good PC sound bar or small speakers to pair with this monitor? (since it doesn't have built in)

      • WarriorZ on 02/07/2021 - 18:50

        Nope desk space is no problem. Just don’t need anything big or overkill for office work

  • ctg on 02/07/2021 - 18:15

    Jumped in, awesome price - upgrading from a U3420DW! Going to grab some extra warranty from Dell directly.

      • cheapo3000 on 02/07/2021 - 18:44

        Would have loved the 34" Alienware monitor, but Dell stopped selling those monitor sizes.

      • ctg on 02/07/2021 - 19:21

        Perhaps eBay/GT, or a mate. I have 5 years ProSupport warranty so it's gold for another 3 and a half…

        Other option is using it for a WFH setup (although I'd likely prefer two 27" instead for easier multitasking)

        • John Doh on 02/07/2021 - 20:27

          Agree, 2X27 way better than a 34.

  • smog on 02/07/2021 - 19:21

    Anyone got a recommendation for a monitor arm to go with this?

    The MSA20 is going for $171 at the dell store, but just wondering if there are any other cheap mounts that are decent.

      Don't bother with MSA20, unless you want it for the looks.

      North Bayou F100A works perfectly with my AW3821.

      • smog on 02/07/2021 - 19:41

        Cheers. I'll have a look at it.

      • greencomet on 02/07/2021 - 20:05

        That's awesome to hear, been using one with my Xiaomi 34. Happy I can just swap it over.

    • ln28909 on 02/07/2021 - 20:10

      The monitor by itself is below 9kg so works with most mount like the popular NB F80

      • greencomet on 02/07/2021 - 20:16

        Yeah, 7.9kg according to the manual.

  • CheetoJesus on 02/07/2021 - 20:26

    After checking the reviews, one of note here https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/alienware-aw3821… the black uniformity issue killed it for me, I only game in dark room most of the time and the bad contrast ratio just won’t work for me. Good deal but Ideally I just want a decent 32” 4k monitor

    • paracaps on 02/07/2021 - 21:49

      All IPS panels suffer from poor black uniformity unfortunately.

      • CheetoJesus on 03/07/2021 - 11:34

        I have a Dell 27 S2721DGF QHD QHD 2560 x 1440 from a deal a while ago it's great in dark room no issues for me it reviewed better for mixed usage as well on rtings. I dunno I just can't justify the price point I guess vs what I paid my current Dell mentioned above ($398) and I got a awesome panel as well in terms of bleeding etc there is none.

    • cille745 on 02/07/2021 - 23:22

      You'd want a VA panel

      • CheetoJesus on 03/07/2021 - 11:35

        Nah like ips to much hated va

        • cille745 on 03/07/2021 - 12:00

          Check out the Oddysey G9 or G7, faster than pretty much all IPS and TN panels, only thing that's still crap is the viewing angles

  • bogrolls on 02/07/2021 - 20:31

    Thanks for the post I snagged one

  • Enixon on 02/07/2021 - 21:47

    I was skeptical at first, but I brought this 3 - 4 months back with no regrets. I love this monitor. I'm pairing it with a 970.. Yes, I know it's a waste, but I'm still able to run 100hz with a crystal clear display.

    Anyone sitting on the fence, I highly recommend this monitor for the price, and if you have a 2000 series or higher definitely worth getting.

  • hisagi on 02/07/2021 - 23:10

    Got really close to pulling the trigger but can't justify upgrading from my xiaomi 34". Promised myself next upgrade would be for a superior technology like micro-led or something

    It's unbelievable that people who chase free $2 cash back give away and people who pay 1300 dollars for a monitor are the same people. Lol.

      Just enough to chase few hundred times of $2 cash back to make it up $1300

    • plentifoo on 05/07/2021 - 15:47

      inane comment - it's like saying people who spend $20,000 on a car should not bother with chasing cashback on their purchases.
      you can argue a widescreen monitor is necessary to one's work productivity and livelihood, as much as a car is.

      That's one valid argument and the other would be as simple as the principles behind saving where possible. It definitely adds up over time and will certainly make a difference on a next big ticket item purchase.

      Why would it upset you? Who ever managed to secure stock before felt that it was worth the value at the time and got to enjoy many months of entertainment. For others that couldn't afford the screen at the time, the time has finally come where they can secure the screen. At the end of the day everyone wins :)

    • MrBillions on 04/07/2021 - 17:33

      I disagree with your view.
      Probably they need to drive some top line sales because they would be down vs prior year like most of us.

      Also a replacement model might be on the way. The input port might hold it back also but price is great!

  • Moostyle on 04/07/2021 - 08:18

          • ipac on 14/07/2021 - 18:23

            @krayphish: No, nothing at all. I sent to their eBay customer service a letter asking for order status and only got their standard reply.

            I placed my order on 02/07, the order went into Dell system on 07/07. However, it was only confirmed yesterday. Dell telephone CS told me they have plenty stock so as soon as the order is cleared by their finance department, it will be shipped out pretty soon. Dell uses third party contractors to run their eBay store, orders will only be released by their finance department until the payment is passed to Dell.

  • ozricoy on 14/07/2021 - 20:15

  • sn00kered on 21/07/2021 - 10:31

    Update to any potential buyers of this… It really is a great product, I was really hesitant already having the Gigabyte G34WC and watching/reading every review. In short I highly recommended it particularly for the price of $1299. G-Sync Ultimate vs Freesync Premium on an NVIDIA gpu is so much smoother. IPS vs VA … coming from VA im blown away by the clarity/colour pop/ and response time. 38inch form factor is incredible too. This is paired on a system with a 3090 - and certainly does it justice.

  • Grayjay on 22/07/2021 - 15:39

    Hanging for another deal like this, make it happen!

  • mlenser on 01/08/2021 - 11:22

    I have purchased this monitor on the same deal when it was back in stock recently and I was wondering if any of you that crabbed one could tell if you have received your order yet? Mine says expected delivery is 2nd September and wondering how long it took for yours to be delivered.
