Dell warranty is def the best. It can take some convincing to do but you get an advanced replacement in 2 days with startrack express. I already RMA'd my AW34 twice, once for screen coating issue and once when fan broke and started rattling.
Are Dell easy with warranty claims? Do they ask you 100 questions before they approve the claim? Just curious after reading about this whole ASUS fiasco recently.
dell has been great in my exp. they do of course expect you to do some troubleshooting first, so if you pre-emptively provide pics / video / audio clips of the issue and explain what you've done to resolve already, that speeds up the process for sure.
Which one you got? AW3225QF ? Did you pay1500 discounted price? Same panel as the G8 I belive? pretty good price at 1200 the G8
Shame about the product experience
Gosh darn it, just paid $1350 last night.
Buy another one so you average out the difference.
a wise man once said "The more you buy the more you save"
We need more spaving.

Be aware the coating is matte compared to the AW2725DF which is glossy, if you care about that.
Wonder how much this matters
In a low light environment, substantially enough that you can see the difference (check Samsung S95D TV reviews).
It's definitely the best kind of matte so far, but you can only push physics so far while remaining remotely economical.
Ordered a bakers dozen
Are Samsung good to deal with for faults on monitors? They are horrendous with their phones but OK with home appliances.
I think the pain point you're identifying is the complexity of the device requiring more to sift through in terms of user error, firmware repairable, and how serviceable an issue is in terms of turnaround time.
I recently had to return a Neo G7 monitor due to manufacturing faults and it was also horrendous, probably 20 calls with Samsung (all of them using the worst quality audio they can) and it took over a month to get a refund, their entire warranty and returns process is designed to make people just give up returning it and buy a new one.
Personally after that I am never touching anything from Samsung ever again.
The pain point for me - they don't ship at all and pain to deal with
Ok after spending way too much time checking this out this morning decided I probably won't get it yet because :
- matte coating
- supposedly no burn in warranty from Samsung
- no thunderbolt usb c gsync (also don't believe there are many Tilt adjustment options like asus - correct me if I'm wrong)
- potentially vrr flickering
- no review from a reputable source yet
- no ability to cancel order once placed (can only cancel in under 24 hours depending on when it moves to processing order for shipping)Hope this helps people looking into purchasing
supposedly no burn in warranty from Samsung
Absolutely untrue. All OLED displays will provide warranty claim for burn-in so long as it's subject to reasonable use and care.
What some marketing edgelords have opted to do is add a guarantee period, but in reality that too is subject to limitations.
Every official repairer will pull the service logs and see how you've been using your screen. If you've turned off all the longevity features, cranked the brightness and left everything sitting there for hours on light mode without standby, no one is helping you outside of 6-12 months.
no review from a reputable source yet
Pretty sure there's a decent Chinese review on the 360Hz G6 model, which should cover most of the info on the implementation.
Has OLED Safeguard+ protection.
Still the same panel as the Alienware, MSI, Asus, Gigabyte. Really just comes down to OS and features (like USB-c power etc), so wouldn’t be tooooo fussed about reviews unless Samsung has completely nerfed something (not fixable by firmware - although don’t hold breath). They’ve done decent jobs on past OLEDs like the current G8.
Of course, the issue buying from Samsung direct vs reseller is the apparently painful warranty process
There are written reviews. https://www.techradar.com/gaming/samsung-odyssey-s32g80sd-re…
Nothing to stop me buying it for $300 less than the Alienware.
And about half the price of the Asus model with the same panel
man most people can't even run games at 4k lol let alone 4k 240fps lol
$1200 monitor
just need $1000 GPU to run 4k240fps for heaps of gamesI play 4k +240fps most non-AAA games with my 3070Ti
cyberpunk can run at 4k 240fps with a $1000 gpu?
Guy says "non-AAA games" so you asked about the most graphically advanced AAA game that is out right now…
Believe it or not, other games exist.
It's safe to assume anyone in the market for a 240hz oled monitor has a high end PC…. so I dont see what point you're trying to make.
If anyone figures out how to get this to ship to WA then please let me know! Just states "Cannot deliver to this area" with no other option. Tried customer service last night and they were useless.
I had to do trade in otherwise it wouldn't let me ship to Adelaide.
Thanks, adding the trade in option helped!
I get out of stock so I can't preorder
It's back in pre-order now! I also noticed they're doing an Odyssey OLED Competition: "Purchase an Odyssey OLED G8 or G6 gaming monitor and stand a chance to win an Aftershock x Samsung Odyssey Gaming PC & Secretlab Gaming chair*.
Use code OdysseyWin at checkout to enter."
https://www.samsung.com/au/odyssey-contest/Been keeping an eye out for an oled monitor deal and this monitor ticked a lot of boxes for me. I was able to get this deal and had some points to spend for even more discount. Thanks OP!
Prepare to waste your time to deal with this company
Wanna give some more info
Ridiculously good deal considering other OLED's, this was a steal
Man any idea if this deal will come back again soon? I couldn’t work out how to do the education sign-up either… I assume it’s looking for a .edu in the email?
Decent price for a 4k240hz OLED. Shame I've already got the Dell (mainly for the better warranty experience)
