Looks like the 32" 4k QD OLED 240hz is back on sale at JB - let's hope that Dell price matches once again (I identify as a Student every now and again)!

Note, it has R1700 curve. Isn't DP 2.1. And has a flickering issue (Rtings review and commentary here: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/alienware-aw3225… )

Same price as last time at JB:

Wehn Dell price matched and price went down to $1519.10

    The delivery is very slow. Better to buy from Dell.

    • Wally Simmonds on 16/05/2024 - 12:28

      Agree, but had 300 bucks worth of gift cards so thought it worth a punt.

      • easonlang on 16/05/2024 - 13:52

        I ordered a month ago and it is not dispatched yet.

    • The Check Please on 17/05/2024 - 03:00

      Dell is very likely to delay the delivery. I ordered on April 24th, seeing website indicate April 26th delivery. Ended up getting a delay notification email Apr 24th night, notifying me a delay to May 20th. Fortunately I got it earlier, May 10th.
      Point is, don't trust what Dell says on its website. They can delay it as they want to.

      • gardezee on 17/05/2024 - 06:29

        That's scummy behaviour! I would hate to getting that email at the last day of delivery. They would know about their stock way before.

        Bro generally he is correct tho, you aren't gonna play that many games at 4k with that kinda frame rate.

        • Fredfloresjr on 16/05/2024 - 13:31

          1-2 years ago they already have few on the list that runs 240 at 4k, games are all going on that direction. 1500 is not bad if you have 4080/4090 GPU, might as well buy the good ones.

      • botchie on 16/05/2024 - 14:56

        i mean we all want to buy a 4090 and this monitor to play cs go at 4k right

    • Fredfloresjr on 16/05/2024 - 13:06

      Hahahaha common bro. Don't rely too much on magic.

      Cheers @dnvrngts add to the post. These two monitors seem to pop up regularly together.

      • dnvrngts on 16/05/2024 - 14:19

        @pingMarky any luck with Dell price matching?

        • pingMarky on 16/05/2024 - 14:22

          yes (via Chat). But Dell is charging for shipping and not sure when the delivery ETA. No Student code available for use.

          • dnvrngts on 16/05/2024 - 14:40

            @pingMarky: Dang, was hoping I could combine with a student code

        • nicolascage on 16/05/2024 - 14:38

          I've tried, they responded quoting their price matching policy "As per Pricematch Policy The product must not be part of any limited quantity, deal-of-the-day, flash sales, clearance, closeout, discontinued or Dell Outlet.". I dont' see how the jb hifi promotion matches their policy.

          • dnvrngts on 16/05/2024 - 14:41

            @nicolascage: Yeah that doesn't sound right. I think it depends on which sales staff member you speak to

            • nicolascage on 16/05/2024 - 14:53

              @dnvrngts: I spoke to two reps. the second price matched. but I'll wait till tomorrow see if the site updates

    • Miichael on 16/05/2024 - 13:48

      Bought this recently with a student discount, such a great monitor no issues at all, ordered from Dell, less than 2 weeks

  • gazer on 16/05/2024 - 13:27

    Out of stock, but Amazon has matched

    • dnvrngts on 16/05/2024 - 14:52

      Amazon don't price match though?

      • nicolascage on 16/05/2024 - 15:13

        their price matching is automated I believe

  • gazer on 16/05/2024 - 13:29

    Thanks OP. I'm going to wait a bit for stock of the MSI and Aorus to get into the country - and if enough does, then see what happens to those prices if the AW keeps dipping to $1400-$1500. I'm keen for USB-C PD and KVM….but not at a $600-ish premium!

    • gardezee on 17/05/2024 - 01:11

      Which MSI monitors are you tracking?

      • gazer on 17/05/2024 - 09:30

        • gardezee on 17/05/2024 - 11:55

          Isn't that already in market? It's for $2100 at diff stores.

          • gazer on 17/05/2024 - 12:24

            @gardezee: only pre-order as far as I've seen

  • Hornpub on 16/05/2024 - 14:16

  • TheBargainDog on 16/05/2024 - 14:40

    I know the curve is a put-off for some people, but honestly, after using this for a month now, I find it is a great feature and adds to immersion, while being subtle enough to not distort any content on screen.
    Though to be fair, I was already used to a 1000R curve, so my flat 27" IPS (And any other flat display) now looks convex to me lol

    Also, just note that ALL QD OLEDS have VRR flicker, and I suspect the LG WOLEDs do too.

    The exclusion of DP 2.1 isn't a big deal either as DP 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 with DSC are visually lossless, even if it can hinder certain GPU features (NVIDIA and DSR/DLDSR).

    • The Check Please on 17/05/2024 - 03:03

      2 sales in a 30-day period already. At this frequency, I wouldn't be surprised if they throw another sale before/at EOFY.

  • Acky89 on 16/05/2024 - 17:53
    +5

    Been looking at OLED's for a while, missed the previous sale by a week or two.. kept coming back to this monitor, in the end i spoke to JB chat support and i asked if it would come back on sale during EOFY deals, to which he couldn't answer.
    Gave me a "special" price of $1792.49, and until midnight last night to order it (15/5).. so i went ahead, then today (16/5) it comes on sale for $1519.. i was upset to say the least, JB reimbursed me the difference and i am still going ahead with it.
    The price on this, is far more appealing than the Asus PG32UCDM and the MSI 321URX.. i don't care for certain features like KVM, and there is really only the three mentioned in the gen3 OLED category right now, LG to follow but again, price is high.
    First time giving a slightly curved monitor a try!

    • TheBargainDog on 16/05/2024 - 20:08

      Agreed, the markup on the other monitors just isn't worth it for the few extra features, like a KVM. At the end of the day, you're buying it to enjoy the 4k QD-OLED display.
      And don't fret the curve, I'm sure you'll love it!

    • Associateddespavr @ JB Hi-Fi on 17/05/2024 - 00:14

      I just wanna let you know that we promiseeee we salespeople have no idea about upcoming sales ever. Only regional managers really would know. Thank god for the 2 week price difference guarantee tho :D

    • The Check Please on 17/05/2024 - 03:06

      Can't agree more. ASUS pricing in Australia is ridiculous, so is in Europe. Somehow Alienware becomes a good bargain in many cases. Weird.

  • Jamolo on 16/05/2024 - 19:48

      Just talk to Dell sale assistants on their website. They'll manually match.

  • sk94 on 16/05/2024 - 20:24

    Bought this after holding out for a good deal on the MSI MPG321URX, curve doesn't bother me at all during gaming or during photo editing (I was originally very anti curve). Couldn't ignore the $700 discount over the MSI and i'm so glad I bit the bullet.

    Ordering through dell I got it in 3-4 days

    Anyone have a review on productivity?
    I'm spinning out SQL on Databricks for hours a day and theres no dark mode on their SQL workbench.

    • evanjd on 17/05/2024 - 09:23

      It's obviously not a monitor you want to buy if you only use it for productivity, but I work on mine during the day and game on it during the night, and I have no serious complaints. I'd like it to be a little brighter for SDR work, but I've already gotten used to it and find it good enough even with a window open or a light on. Text fringing is so slight that it's generally unnoticeable unless I pay attention to it. And all the trade-offs for work are worth it when I game on it at night, it's glorious.

      I'm taking minimal precautions against burn-in. I have my taskbar dimmed but not hidden, and I've set the monitor to sleep after 5 minutes, but that's it. I'm not intending to check for burn in (greyscale patterns, etc), I'll only do something about it if I notice it in real-world use. Dell's warranty service is good, so if it burns in within 3 years then I'll get an exchange and re-evaluate how I use it, and if it burns in after that then I'm OK with living with it or upgrading at that point.

      • Ndz85 on 17/05/2024 - 11:43

        Thanks. Ill be sure to to set the auto-off.
        I'm buying it to re-engage with games with winter coming up.

      • 2-1 on 17/05/2024 - 17:15

        I work from home and have been using the monitor for work at day and gaming at night.

        In terms of text quality:
        - I can make out some colour fringing on the text only when I move my face within 20-30cms. This is a non-issue for normal usage.
        - I have a Dell IPS 27" (S2722DC) monitor as a secondary monitor. If I was to take a moment to concentrate on the sharpness difference, I'd say the AW3225QF has about 97% ish sharpness compared to the S2722DC. My brain has adjusted to productivity with both side by side and honestly I am not bothered by it at all when I work off spreadsheets etc. The IPS panel can get brighter than the OLED so if anything that's the biggest difference I notice when I move tabs from one monitor to the other.

        I've always been a fan of dark mode anyway so adjusting to the AW3225QF with that mode was easy.

        For gaming:
        -I wasn't initially wowed with the OLED monitor as I expected to be. I tried a handful of games and while it was more vibrant, I wasn't sure if the improvement was worth a $1k upgrade over a good IPS panel
        -It took a week or so until I had my "oh-shi.." moment while playing helldivers 2. There was a mission where the sunset + sandstorm was creating a bright orange sun lit sky and very dark shadows off the cliffs…and wow the contrast and different shades of reds blew me away as I made my way through the terrain.

  • Ndz85 on 17/05/2024 - 07:12

    Dell has matched the price. Got it with student discount. June 12 delivery :(

    • akira276 on 17/05/2024 - 09:28

      Be aware they didn't match the 27inch price correctly. Jb has it for $1119, Dell brought it down to $1199

  • Wally Simmonds on 01/06/2024 - 07:46

    Anyone got theirs yet?
