Dell price matched JB HI-FI & Amazon again, and the 11% off discount codes still seem to work. It's the same price as the June deal.

I missed the last deal but kept an eye on it since it goes on sale regularly.

I assume the student discount should still work as per @daemon's June post - $954.57 after discount (activate through My Account > Dell Rewards and Membership > Membership with student email).

    Wow just had the idea to upgrade to OLED last night and ozb delivers.

    Now I gotta choose between this and the 75" TCL (who am I kidding it will eventually be both)

    • Going for 75C7k or C8k?

  • I bought this last night from JB being delivered this morning, dam it.

    • +3

      Buy this one and return it to JB. Easy.

  • I've wanted to pull the trigger on OLED for so long and this is tempting. But using it primarily for work makes me nervous about text fringing issues :/

    • +2

      This is why I'm staying away, too. Productivity all of the time is more important than gaming some of the time.

    • Could try and get a 4K 27 inch OLED one to mitigate that issue

    • +5

      The current one is fine. The warranty also covers burn in and is advanced exchange.

      I bought the original AW3423DW back in Sept 2022. After about 1.5 years of having it turned on and used as my main work display for 12 hours a day, 5 days a week, I started getting some image retention of the start menu and a patch in the middle of the screen which showed up only in the green screen test. The anti-reflective coating also had a few bubbles appearing. I contacted Dell, they went through the troubleshooting with me, took some photos for them. Then they approved the exchange and sent me a brand new sealed retail box AW3423DW first. Once I was happy, I then sent my old one back to them (they gave me a pickup label which I booked online for the courier to come pick it up at my home, and did not charge for return).

      I am now at 2 years with this 2nd AW3423DW monitor, using it in the same way and duration as the first one. However, this second one has not developed any image retention at all. It still looks brand new and the coating is also good with zero bubbles. I think there was an improvement in panel quality partway through the original AW3423DW's production run, and now I expect the new AW3425DW to be like my 2nd AW3423DW, no issues even with heavy use in static screens. Text fringing is not too bad, it doesn't look like fringing at normal distance, just slightly less crisp than a 1440p IPS monitor of the same size. I use mine side by wide with a 1200P 24" Dell U2415, and text crispness is similar. If you look at the text under a magnifying glass, then you can see the slight fringing.

      Yep, that's in the post.

      • Legend, sorry I didn't notice it.

  • Does this have burn in issues with OLED?

    • +3

      I've had one for 3 years now and no sign of burn in. I use it for 10+ hours a day / 5 days a week for work and don't take any precautions against burn in myself, just whatever the panel has built-in.

      • i kinda wish my old one burns in so i can get the new model hey

        • haha, 100%

    The 32" 4k OLED comes down to $1,333.38 with this coupon too? This price good? https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/cty/apd/210-BLNW

    • 4k wayyyyy better

      • Depends on your rig, the 4k will be significantly harder to drive.

        • I'm currently on an X38 which runs a bit under 4k res (3840x1600). Wonder what the reduction in frames would be going up to 3840x2160

  • Anyone use this for dual purpose work and play? Any concerns around burnin given static elements often found with work/taskbars, staring at word docs lol.

    • +2

      I am using it for both work and play, 3 days a week for 8 hours of work and plenty of hours for gaming.

      I just do usual oled recommended stuff like auto-turn screen off after 5 mins, auto hide taskbar etc.

      Well worth it to me, over any other screen.

  • Can anyone with a student email get access to the student portal (like Samsung education portal) or is it verified that you are a current student?

  • Sigh im assuming my 3070 would struggle with this

    • +1

      Well you'd be bottlenecked in newer games, but it would still look good at 144hz. Depends what you're comparing it to and what games you're playing

    • Was running a 970 Strix playing Tarkov on my Acer X34 before my 3070, but only getting about 25-50fps depending on the breeze. Assetto Corsa ran pretty good though. Just depends what you're playing and the level of detail.

      I could easily run Notepad at max settings, and maybe even Word at the full 144hz using the 970 with this monitor.

    HODL for black friday?

    • Black Friday sales are not what they used to be

  • +1

    Is this going to be a noticeable change in size if I'm coming from a 38in Ultrawide?

    • I'm interested to know as well, I'm on an Acer X38.

    • I use my monitor for work & play. Upon closer look on the specs, the 15W usb-c charging and lack of external speakers are rather limiting for work, i.e. need separate charger and speakers/headphones for meetings. Really tempting price though.

    • +2

      I have 34”, 38” UWs. I def noticed switching back to the 34” for work. Could no longer do triple windows effectively. Back on the 38” now bought 42” C4 for my gaming rig. Don’t work on that though. 42” 16:9 is the he same width as 38” UW just taller btw

  • Nice. Very, very tempted. Sub-$1k to replace my oldschool VA ultrawide. Gonna wait though.

  • Missed out on last deal, glad this came back so fast so I finally copped one. Upgrading to using the trusty old S2721DGF as primary to this AW3425DW as primary. Praying to god the height of the screens are as similar as they say online between a 34 inch Ultrawide and a 27" standard

    • +1

      Bro Im upgrading from the same monitor :P

      • Nice! I'm running two S2721DGF and a mismatched S2417DG. The 24 Inch is gonna go so I can hopefully have the monitors in a 27 | 34 | 27 setup.

        I got the S2721DGF from deals here yonks ago too lmao

  • Hmmn $944 sure is tempting

  • Thank you. I am now $1000 poorer.

  • Flat is better go for c5

  • This or the AW3225QF…

  • Looking for something like this but suitable for PS5/ console. What would be a good alternative at this budget?

    • If its purely for ps5, you better off getting a TV. Something like a 42" LG C series.

  • can't convince myself to go OLED from my G3223Q. will give it a couple more generations until text looks better. G3223Q is awesom for both work and play..
