Well seems like this may have the same black screen issue as 4k model, one dead after 2 weeks.
$90 Price drop for this amazing value QD-OLED glossy monitor, can get for $594 with Education/Partner program. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frSJc_uL0rs Review.
Yes. Username checks out.
Night and day difference. Dell's warranty also covers burn in for 3 years so that is also not an issue.
How is it for office use, is text fringing there, I was using a lg oled tv and it was bothering me to no end
Still there. Probably better than the TV tho
Not as good as IPS
if you want to avoid text fringing on an OLED, a 4k 27 inch one would help quite a bit
Still getting used to the deep blacks and smoothness on my qdoled, as I never realised how washed out and blurry VA panels are
lol?
Interesting new size? Or have 27" monitors always been 26.7" and just rounded up?
They are often rounded up, some are even as low as 26.5, but you do sometimes find genuine 27in or even 27.1
Can we get 4k resolution at this price?
If it was, I would've posted it. OLED or 4k at this price, not both.
How does the education/partner program work?
Go to the dell edu page, request a discount code to be sent to an email (any email works, doesn’t have to be edu) and they’ll send you a code. Buy with the code.
Thank you!
What’s the direct link to dell edu page?
Just request it from chat?
I don't see a way to do this without having to verify that you're a student
$594 is a great deal, bought, thanks OP. Also its cheaper than Kogans QD-OLED 27 inch which seems to use the same panel.
$594 vs the the $850 I paid for the AW3425DW hmmn. I guess probably the 34 was a better deal
Definitely
depends on what you use it for.. For the type of games I play they either do not support wide angles, or for the games that does, my system won't be able to maintain good framerate while pushing those extra pixels.
If you enjoy cp2077 there's also that issue with ultrawides that creates a weird white glow around certain areas
Is this comparable to Apple studio display?
No, this is designed primarily for eSports gaming.
ASUS ProArt 5K, Dell Ultra sharp or LG 5K ultrafine would be the equivalents outside of the Mac ecosystem.
If you're not in a rush, might be better to wait for the WOLED models releasing in Aus end of this month. They will be much cheaper than current OLED and should handle text better
Where did you see that the new gen4 WOLED will be cheaper than current OLED's?
TFTCentral says the gigabyte one will launch at US$499. So i think after aus tax, gst, etc will probably come in at a similar price to their current gen offerings.
https://tftcentral.co.uk/articles/4th-gen-primary-rgb-tandem…
But WOLED aren't as glossy as Apple's no?
True, but new generations often result in widespread drops on older skus
anyone able to help me out with an edu coupon code?
from my experience, they are tied to your account and not applied as individual coupons
oooh gotcha, thanks :)
Im debating between this and an ultrawide oled, honeslty cant decide.
If the answer to all 3 are NO, then don't bother.
Best take possible regarding Utrawide OLED. Even YouTube is disappointing on a ultrawide.
Ultrawide on games that doesn't support ultrawide is still fine.
OLED has true black.
yeah but some games you cannot play on ultrawide and forces black bars :(
I have the aw3423dw ultrawide QD-OLED and it's great, just be prepared for some games (especially games that are a couple years old) that you'll have to mess around and find ultrawide fixes for which can be annoying.
Dell monitors are a pile of trash now. My $800 2721d has a red line just after the 3 year warranty period and they won’t do anything. My other ones lasted forever. Disposable tech now.
That sucks, but you can't really draw a conclusion about the entire brand based on a sample set of 1
https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/broken-but-out-of-warr…
get ai to help you claim it. I've had good luck getting it fixed out of warranty. under australian consumer law you have a right to repair, replace or refund regardless of the manufacturers warranty or policys. australian consumer law applys.
sent you a pm how to get it fixed
I have a G3223Q IPS 144hz 4K. solid as hell, no problems whatsoever
2 other Dells came before that, no issues there either. all of them mounted tool-less on Dell Single Monitor Arm MSA20, a solid investment in its own right
every time sold them on at about 75% of what I paid originally. only upgraded first time because I wanted a one cable usb-c hub solution, and the second time because I wanted a gaming one. a4k one. and G3223Q is here to stay. I stopped gaming on it as I just don't have time, and prefer Switch for that (handheld). or Xbox.
so I can't say the same mate. no complaints about Dell monitors
Great monitor. Wish they had more usb ports at back for permanently attached accessories as the 2 at the bottom egde of bezels aren't so great aesthetically :)
Flat USB hub on the back + double sided tape or velcro.
Dunno why you're asking me the second question, I don't work for Dell lmao.
And just plug it into your PC. I had a small hub just sitting on my desk for a while when I was swapping lots of stuff, doesn't get in the way much.
Anyone knows a best way to get rid of old monitors?
List them on Facebook marketplace or Gumtree.
or give them to me for free.
Working or faulty?
Not working: many councils accept ewaste for free at their waste transfer stations
Otherwise sell/give away it on FB.
Tempting. But I'm not a fan of seeing my own reflection while watching dark scenes in movies. And apparently burn in is still an issue with OLED panels.
How’s the text fringing issue on this monitor if anyone has tried it?
Super tempting. Any guesses what 4th gen OLED will be at launch for same size & resolution $850+?
If the + equals ~$400 then you could have one of these on your desk by the end of the year: XG27AQWMG, MO27Q28G, 27GX700A-B.
Bought the one in the OP, too much fomo waiting for the next best thing but thanks!
250 nitts too dim
250 SDR
1000 peak for HDR
I thought so at first too, but it's actually plenty fine. I actually love eye-searingly bright.
I used to use my old VA monitor at max brightness 350 nits, but since upgrading to OLED, 250 nits doesn't bother me at all. It's bright enough to cut through indirect sunlight and it actually looks punchier due to the much better contrast.
As the other person mentioned, it gets much brighter in HDR too.
Is this a good upgrade from a 27"Acer XB1 predator xb27qhu with IPS? I don't want any bigger than 27".
Running the same primary monitor here, would like to know as well. May use the predator as the secondary
Yes 1000%. It's OLED so deeper blacks and better power efficiency. And the refresh rate his higher so you can output more FPS that will actually be visible on the monitor
Damn haven't seen one this cheap. Shame it's blue instead of black tho hmm, would stand out in a dual-monitor setup.
The actual blue is pretty dark in real life. My Alienware ultrawide doesn't stand out too much next to my other monitors.
Also it's just the back and stand that's blue, the bezels and front are black
Ooh that's good to know! Perhaps I'll consider it then
Hopeful we'll start seeing $600 OLEDs more often, we've seen 2k monitors at $800 for a quite a while now.
Considering going from a 34" ultrawide to this, this is such a good deal.
Just got the monitor delivered today, very impressed. Coming from a 165hz 1440 IPS. Text fringing is not apparent to me at seated distance unless I literally have my face right up against the monitor 15-20cm away.
How quick was delivery?
Ordered Sunday, sent yesterday, arrived today.
Rip, I ordered the same Sunday and my order has been delayed twice now, still hasn't even shipped
yeah I'll also echo this, coming from a S2721DGF, which is now my secondary monitor. The text clarity looks fairly similar to my other monitor to be honest, though maybe a tad fuzzier, but nowhere near as much of an issue as everyone bangs on about.
Mine arrived today, it is absolutely gorgeous. Coming from a 280hz IPS 27" @ 1080p. Completely blows it away, I can't even look at the old one anymore
When did you order yours, I ordered onthe 7th and they are saying 24th Sept for delivery :(.
Ordered on the 6th, looks like you just missed out on the first batch they sent out
Did you get yours yet?
I ordered on the 8th and mine also got delayed 🥲
Nope I didn't. The estimated delivery date still says 24th.
Reminder for people that these have a glossy screen that gets dirty quickly.
Could be from anything, spit sneeze cough, a can of something fizzy nearby
Distilled water and a very clean microfiber cloth are all you need.
I find tap water leaves streaking, so I just get a 2L bottle of distilled water for $2 from IGA and put some in a spray bottle.
It's best to clean it before turning on for the day too. Cool water + hot displays can, rarely, go wrong.
This is 100% true.
I had Dell's earlier model 240hz ips 1440p monitor. It broke within warranty just. I had 4 replacement monitors sent out all shat themselves after 2-4weeks. Red lines, black screens everything. Obviously refurbished models. I ended up requesting a full refund as I had, had enough at that point. The customer service and send outs were great just the monitors were absolutely horrible.
Currently using dual AOC 24G2's and my desk is really small so i'm like around 60cm away from the monitors. Is this too close for this monitor? Dont really game that much these days as well but would like an OLED monitor and this looks pretty cheap. Maybe a mini-LED monitor?
IS THIS A GOOD DEAL GUYS!!! Y/N?? RECKONTHERE BE SIGNIFICANTLY CHEPAER ONES DURING CYBER MONDAY OR SIMILAR? THANKS!
I currently have a ~1 year old MSI G274QPF-E2 (27” 1440p 180 Hz), and I am strongly considering this monitor. However, after watching Monitors Unboxed 18 month burn in torture test I am afraid that any amount of productivity work will lead to damage.
For my use, about half the monitor usage will be half productivity (Office apps, Canva etc.), occasional photo editing and half gaming and content consumption, around 5 hours a day. Will burn it still be an issue?
Secondly, what is the best way to recover funds from my old monitor? I have a listing on marketplace but it seems there isn’t any interest.
Yeh the burn in really puts me off as well from productivity work. Initially ordered it and decided to cancel as it really doesnt fit my use case. Also have big OLED TV for movies/tv/shows/content
Keep in mind the Monitors Unboxed torture test really is worst-case scenario, max brightness, static taskbar etc for 8+ hours.
To me, your use case seems reasonable and far from worst-case, but yes, burn-in is something that accumulates over time, and it's just a fact of OLED technology.
Personally, I was able to quickly get used to auto-hiding the taskbar and keeping my static apps windowed (though I have the Alienware OLED ultrawide, so I've got room), along with changing the wallpaper now and then.
I like the dynamic wallpapers you can find on Wallpaper Engine. I've got a few I just swap through with hotkeys.
Life's too short not to enjoy OLED 😊
With that being said, you have the Dell 3-year warranty that includes burn-in, so if it gets to a point where it bothers you, you can get it replaced.
I recommend not going crazy and checking for burn-in constantly; just use and enjoy.

I think you might be pricing too high. Umart has the same monitor for $335 on sale, albeit out of stock.
Thanks for the advice.
Has anyone else’s order been delayed? Mine was meant to arrive today but it’s been delayed until the 30th.
Adelaide
Yes, same here - delayed to 29th.
Mine from a previous deal in August got delayed twice, it was over a month wait, so I gave up and just ordered off Amazon :c
When I called, they said the delay was due to no stock available.
I imagine it's the same here. You can only hold on and hope it ships early, unfortunately.
Mine was delayed twice, finally shipped and arrived today, and it's faulty with a horizontal flickering line through the screen, even with no input plugged in and after being factory reset etc. Only finally got a chance to set it up tonight after getting home from work and it's fked out of the box, and I've spent the last hour and a half dealing with Dell support to get a DOA replacement organised. Not happy.
Turns out they posted it earlier as I Got mine yesterday. Set it up this morning and it’s beautiful. Now need to decide do I hook it up to a ps5 or ps5 pro (I have one of each) for FPS games BO6/BF
Is the QD-OLED a big jump from VA?
