      You must buy.
      I bought the last round it is awesome , came from predator x34p and this is on another level.

        I upgraded from the Asus pg348q and it's definitely on another level.

          How does this compare to 2* 27"? I like the idea of one screen but sometimes gaming on one screen with the other playing youtube or whatnot is nice.

          • trongy on 29/07/2021 - 07:50

            @PlagueistheCheap: Not as wide, but more vertical screen resolution. I don't full screen anything on this monitor except for games.

            You can have two windows side by side, but the video won't be as big compared to full screen video on a 27" monitor. Nevertheless, I think this is the better solution.

        it's just the bloody missing usb-c pd setup i'm missing. is there a good workaround?
        i'm on Google Pixelbook (i7, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB)
        i so want 38"… currenlty on 34" lg with one usb-c that powers, connects sound, mouse, keyboard and display with one cable and i love that simple setup.

        • nubix on 28/07/2021 - 19:05

          not really a workaround, but i'm using a thunderbolt dock + a displayport switch (this monitor only has 1 displayport) + a usb switch for mouse and keyboard :cry:

          • MrBillions on 28/07/2021 - 19:54

            @nubix: Thank you but I just can't do this. I totally decluttered my desk and I don't want to go back there anymore. MaybeI just need to sit this one out.

            • trongy on 29/07/2021 - 08:07

              @MrBillions: USB-C monitors are great for de-cluttering. The Dell U3821DW has USB-C, but no deals as good as this one so far.

          Literally in the same boat as you. Have a Phillips one at work with USB C for my Mac laptop. Been hunting for one at home to use for gaming also (non Mac of course) not much options / stock at the moment.

          So much more handy and so clean with one cable.

        • spartso on 28/07/2021 - 21:18

          I have the Dell 38" equivalent that has USB-C, love it….but its 60hz

        • gelilloabad on 28/07/2021 - 22:36

          You would be wasting it with USB-C - you need DisplayPort to be able to achieve 144Hz and that resolution and with HDR, notice HDMI can only do 85Hz as it is HDMI 2.0, not the very new HDMI 2.1 for example.

          Over USB-C you would be able to do just 60Hz.

      • DanielP2 on 28/07/2021 - 21:29

        I don't need to hear that crap. Do you have any idea how much I have already spent on gaming shit this year? Must resist

      • xentar on 28/07/2021 - 23:57

        I didn't jump on this because I want nice blacks since I'll be using in a dark room. Though now I can't seem to find a good solution…qhd/144hz/nice contrast. Bonus points for broad colour space and lag that doesnt cause artifacts.

        Now I can't seem to figure out if im better off getting the s34dgm va for $500 (I couldnt find reviews on it at all & no crazy wqhd ultrawide or curved monitor experience to draw on)…,maybe 2xs27dgm for $800?

        It doesnt help that my research began this arvo but there seems to be a huge difference in high end and I guess mid tier monitors like those. The samsung 38" g7 is around $2k so $1500 more than that 34" va dell.

        I ended up looking at rtings tv's. Any lg oled (old c7, cx, c1) has the contrast, 120hz gsync, uhd and from 2-8ms input lag…but I'd robably kill it with firefox burn in even if I made all windows elements hide, used night mode and a short screen off/saver time.

        Rabbit hole lead me to Hisense U8G. Surprisingly great looking va+quantum dots tv with even more options than the oleds when it comes to supporting full 10 bit chroma at 1080, 1440, uhd 120hz and some pretty intense hdr.

        tldr. help pls!

          Yeah, join the lg oled but smaller desktop version bandwagon! It’s the answer your looking for.

          • DanielP2 on 29/07/2021 - 00:27

            @pingMarky: Absolutely. Almost had mine for a year with no burnin yet. Admittedly I have taken many of the precautions xentar mentioned to prevent it, but its been amazing as a daily driver. Definitely no regrets

        • cille745 on 29/07/2021 - 01:20

          If you've got the cash to burn, the odyssey neo g9 is what you're looking for. Super ultrawide, 240hz, HDR2000 with a Miniled backlight. Preferable to the LG OLEDs imo

      • Chromeo86 on 29/07/2021 - 16:22

        Same. Second this! X34p to 38AW was a immersive difference!

    Why is this better then say 2 individual monitors at 1920x1600 each?

      Curved, one screen so no shitty bezels down the centre, specs, aesthetics.

      Same exact dilemma I have…

    • Xastros on 29/07/2021 - 08:20

      If you game then no question, UW monitor is much better than 2x individual monitors with bezels right down the centre of the screen. You would likely just game on one of your individual monitors rather than span across both. More immersive on the single UW monitor. For productivity I would say 2x monitors are bettter for sure.

  • luizmarin on 28/07/2021 - 18:52

    Got this one, it came with a stuck pixel, after weeks of dealing with dell, they sent a new one… is a very good monitor, love working on it

    • S2200 on 28/07/2021 - 19:07

      Mine has a few bright (not dead) pixels all of different colours. Although only one (light blue) is visible when viewing normally. The rest can only be seen if I look closer at an angle on a black screen. Only realized it was there after turning off the local dimming (so the backlight is always on). Haven't yet gone back to Dell but thinking whether I should. How easy was it for you to do the exchange? I heard they can send a refurb instead of a new unit. Just don't want to end up with a unit that's worse than the one I have.

      Otherwise, it's an amazing monitor (if we ignore the edge lit local dimming which is terrible to begin with). Price is great now as well.

      • luizmarin on 28/07/2021 - 19:20
        +3

        they first refuse to exchange saying was a dead pixel and not a stuck, and it needs to have more than 8 dead pixels to replace. After I showed was a red pixel and in Australia, you can ask for a refund or replacement if you are not happy with it, they were very quick in exchanging it.
        At first, he said was going to be refurbished and I refused, I asked via email if was refurbished again and they say is a new replacement. It got in less than 1 week, they gave the new one when they pick up the old one.

        Go for it!

        • sushimaster on 28/07/2021 - 22:51

          Mine toke half a yr but I guess it's worth a shot

        • deliriouss on 28/07/2021 - 23:04

          that's actual crap service…. they shouldn't make you go through the hoops to get a new unit as replacement if it has bright pixels at arrival, especially not when it costs 1.3k.

    I'm almost tempted to get the monitor and add the Alienware Aurora Desktop Ryzen™ 7 16GB RAM 512GB SSD + 2TB HHD RTX 3070 for another $2,599 after discount (even though I'll probably have to do something about the cooling) and just upgrade in one hit.

  • carra23 on 28/07/2021 - 19:27

    I am so tempted by this.

    I have the Dell S3221 and the 2721DGF at the moment, and the difference between the VA and IPS actually annoys me a little.

    On top of that I have a work laptop and desktop PC so I can have 2 displays at once. I would still need a second monitor with this.

    But it looks soooo good! Not sure I can resist

    • [Deactivated] on 28/07/2021 - 19:47

      Can you please elaborate on the VA vs IPS? What difference are you finding annoying? Thanks.

      • carra23 on 28/07/2021 - 19:54
        +1

        Colour difference between the screens. It's a very nitpicky thing to moan about, but its just enough to annoy me lol. I feel like my setup would look cleaner with double IPS.

        • [Deactivated] on 28/07/2021 - 19:59

          OK. Thanks!

      • deliriouss on 28/07/2021 - 23:16

        I bought a S3221QS through the last deal, black smearing is very obvious on that VA model even to the least sensitive eyes. It is unbearable to work in dark mode.
        I have had VA monitor before, so I thought it would be okay but forgetting my last experience with VA was years ago. Switching from IPS back to VA, made me realised how big a problem black smearing can be.
        The colour difference was on the other hand tolerable for me.

        • [Deactivated] on 29/07/2021 - 07:21

          Ya black smearing can be annoying. I am on the dgf and was thinking of xiaomi. Thanks, I will pick this up instead once gpu prices are affordable.

    • deals2hunt on 28/07/2021 - 21:17

      Have exactly the same setup as yours and the color difference bothers me as well… I am contemplating between this & the 49"

    • zanzibar on 28/07/2021 - 21:34

      For an alternative viewpoint, I have the same pairing and the colour difference does not bother me. I can see the difference, but for some reason it does not worry me… different strokes for different folks.

      • DanielP2 on 28/07/2021 - 21:34

        48inch oled all the way. It was good with my 2080ti, but with the 3080ti I finally get 120hz on older games and can comfortably sit above 60fps on something like RDR2 maxed out. (No DLSS crap, native res)

            @JMxoxo: yeh if i didnt have the oled, I would be using an ultrawide for sure. I have triple X34Ps on my racing rig setup, and they are awesome for that. Would have loved to have gotten these Dell monitors at this price (especially considering i didnt pay much lss fo the Acers a couple years ago when i got them)

        • Xastros on 29/07/2021 - 08:23

          How far is the screen from your eyes?

          • DanielP2 on 29/07/2021 - 10:56

            @Xastros: about 70cm. When i first got it I thought it was too big and a little uncomfortable to use for web browsing, but ive gotten used to it and love it. It was always fine for games tho.
            Apparently they have even smaller sizes coming like 43" which would probably be the perfect size for me, but I waited long enough for the 48"

  • AliKay on 28/07/2021 - 19:47

    I'm using 2 work provided monitors and was looking to upgrade to a wider one. Can this be an alternative to 2 screens ? No gaming requirement…

    • Elijha on 28/07/2021 - 19:58
      +1

      certainly can, depending on what you are using now of course… you are paying a bit of a premium here (much less at this price then RRP) for the brand, gaming specs and 38" … if you'd be happy with a 34" then you could look at some cheaper more standard desktop use screens.

        I'm finding it great for practicality and aesthetics but I am starting to get a sore neck in lengthy gaming sessions, so I may go back to single arm mounts soon.

    • Semilob on 28/07/2021 - 21:51

      I just made the same upgrade. Should recoup a decent amount of the cost from selling the X34P. I WFH so the slight vertical real estate will be appreciated!

      • donkey33 on 28/07/2021 - 22:20

        Worth it in your opinion then?

        I see second hand X34P's going for around $400-$500 on ebay.

        • Semilob on 29/07/2021 - 21:14

          I'll find out when I receive it! I was too indecisive last time this deal was on but decided to just go for it and see how I like it.

          Honestly, you'll more than that for an X34p (especially if it still has warranty like mine). It's still a damn nice monitor. Maybe the original X34 would go for 400-500.
