    as I'd like to use it for only browsing / work (excel)

    This is bait, right?

    • +1

      what do you mean by that.

      • Why do you need a monitor of this specification for browsing and excel work?

        • +11

          Then 100% of the purchase price becomes tax deductible.

        • +1

          Well, maybe some touch up of photo on lightroom etc. Other 4k monitor seems to be the same ball park in price, so why not this one being OLED? :)

          • @KiwiRoo: I would assume you’d want your $1000+ purchase to last over 3 years. Look at Monitors Unboxed’s OLED burn in test.

            Also, what are you looking for in “other monitors”? You can definitely find very good, color accurate non-OLED 4k monitors way under 1k

            • @jpeg-jpg: I think it will last 3 years.
              Hardware unboxed are trying their best to deliberately burn in monitors.
              Yeah, burn in is a thing, but you're not going to see what HUB are seeing with regular use…. and if you do it's covered by warranty.

              • @virtual81: Key word there being over 3 years. Idk what you do for work, but my monitor use case for work is similar, 8 hours a day, rarely any breaks, displaying the same thing over and over again.

                If I bought a $1000+ monitor for work, I do not want it to last for only around 3 years.

                That’s before taking into account the fact that OLED’s advantages are wasted if you’re just web browsing and ms excel in the first place.

                A $400-500 4k monitor would give you the advantages of 4k, without the drawbacks of OLED.

    Good price, but better off going for the LG equivalent at $1399 for a screen that's usable in light and 480hz/240hz

    • +8

      Which LG model is that?

    • +1

      If using the screen by the pool that will come in handy. For everyone else this screens the best there is. :)

      • I’ve had all of these and unless you’re playing in a pitch black room, the blacks turn grey and it’s not worth getting

  • +1

    I use this monitor for general office work using Mac mini and really enjoy it. You won’t regret.

    • +1

      No color fringing on text like some people have said in the past forums?

      • +4

        Nothing. I use it at maximum 240Hz and 4K resolution.

  • Also works on the OLED 34" Ultrawide.

  • +2

    The text should be fine on this model. It is the 34" QD-OLED model with the blurry text (AW3425DW & AW3423DW)

    • Text is still naturally clearer on the 27", Rtings says as much.

      • It's not because of QD-OLED, it is because of pixel density.

        • OLEDs can appear ‘blurry’ due to their sub-pixel arrangements, but this effect becomes less noticeable as pixel density increases.

    • How blurry is it

  • +1

    seems to be one of the end game monitor

    It's not endgame for me until they manage to fix VRR flickering

    • I haven't seen VRR flicker on either of my OLED screens (a 2021 model and a 2024 model) since I upgraded my PC from a 9900K 2080 Ti rig to a 7800X3D 4080 rig.

      VRR flicker happens when your PC is struggling to maintain a consistent frametime. When you're spending money on this kind of screen, you likely have the means or already have a high end PC and it's a nonissue at that point.

      That, this and the HP Omen Transcend 32 all apparently use the same or very similar panels, it mostly comes down to price and what features you want.

      The samsung and LG are brighter and score a bit higher in HDR tests, but the HP has better color reproduction.

      The HP also has a gloss panel like on OLED phones, the others have traditional IPS matte shielding.

      I personally went with the HP Omen in the previous deal for $100 less than this as it has more features (KVM, 140W PD charging, best OSD, newer DP/HDMI versions) and I prefer the gloss panel and color reproduction over HDR brightness - I haven't had any issue with the brightness or reflections and I'm near a large window.

      Comparison of all 3 and others: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2558718/hp-omen-transcend-32…

  • Anyone know how long this deal is expected to last? Safe to wait until mid next week?

  • +4

    I just pulled the trigger on this today because of being able to get a 15% coupon through work.

    If you're keen you should check if your workplace has the Dell Member Purchase Program.

        Correction just had to take out the other code ended up $1274.4

    If it sells out, keep the above kink bookmarked, it will re-appear there.

    Not a great deal currently though.. Was $1099 when i got mine (showing $1,219 today, only $114 cheaper than OP).
    It did arrive with no evidence of being refurbished, looks immaculate, packaging all seems original and intact.
    6 months in still thrilled with it.
    Regular scaling or DLSS / FSR works wonders on modern mid tier GPUs
    4K @ 240Hz with HDR is butter.
    Also spec is missing from website but can confirm with current firmware Freesync is fully supported.

    • keep the above kink bookmarked

      🧐

  • I'm using this now. Compared very nicely with my s90d and LG C4 - the curve for me is the game changer for a monitor you generally have close. Not too much, just right. Visuals with a nice gfx card are godly.

  • This is the best large format oled from dell unless you want ultrawide. It uses gen3 qd oled panel.

  • I WFH full time from work, so what these long term burn-in tests said about QD-OLED panels displaying static white elements really put me off:

    I bought this Samsung Odyssey G7 Neo instead for basically half the price:

  • Also should be cheaper with student code , prob wana check that.
