would burn in be a problem since monitors may stay on static images much longer and more often than TVs?

I'm actually quite indifferent about the 38 model. Productivity wise my 34 is more than enough for me. And gaming wise do many games out there even support that resolution? UW gaming support is already kinda shoddy as it is, I can't imagine many games supporting that weird resolution.darknebulae wrote: ↑ I would just wait for the 38” one to come out with OLED and go on sale. With Dell support and sale prices the 38” is a great deal if it even happens lol.

So I ended up buying both the LG 38 and this Dell 34 today.
LG here: https://www.amazon.ca/LG-38WN95C-W-Inch ... B0892MHG9H
I am mostly using for productivity, so will pick whichever one fits my work setup, and return the other.
I am leading towards LG for the higher resolution and better inputs, but I would prefer the dell for the QD-OLED though not sure it matters for productivity. I already have an OLED tv for gaming so not really going to game on this monitor.

Why not the AW 38? Their CS and warranty is superior to LG's.devmaster8 wrote: ↑ So I ended up buying both the LG 38 and this Dell 34 today.

I had it on my list but discounted it for some reason that I can't recall. It was on sale for $1500 a few weeks ago and I was tempted to pull the trigger but I didn't.
I think it might have had issues with macbooks.

Nice, I'm glad to hear that the email coupon still works! I really want to order this but it's still way more money than I've ever spent on a monitor. I have the 20% Amex offer and I think if Rakuten goes back to 10%, I might just pull the trigger.

I went to bed 10 min before this released after sitting on it for weeks... I guess PG35VQ it is.
Good work to whoever got one.

I think for picture quality the resolution is not the absolutely reference. It depends on the size of the Monitor.devmaster8 wrote: ↑So I ended up buying both the LG 38 and this Dell 34 today.

Which ends up with what is the PPI - pixel per inch
38 3840×1600 essentially is the same PPI
As
34 3440×1440
Around 110 PPI

I had a US premier discount order with intent to reship to me. Cancelled it once I got the Canadian order in as I also have the Amex 20% credit and prices were identical after reshipping/currency conversions.
Jokes on me though - Canadian order got held up due to a verification hold, new shipping estimate is after my Amex promo ends…

Damn a few hours late for me I guess.
Is there anyway to get this under the displayed price atm? 10%OFFMONITOR doesn't work anymore. We have Rakuten for 2%, that's about it... someone mentionned a 10% from the newsletter, any confirmation that works? I'm waiting a the coupon myself.

Ugh, no adaptive brightness. Why is this not standard on monitors in 2022? That's my only gripe with my AW3418DW.

You make it sound like those features are important on a monitor, options such as charging your laptop, built in speakers, mic, and webcam shouldn't sway anyone's decision on buying a high end monitor. Nobody with high end monitor would choose to use their monitor speakers as their sound output, mics and webcams are just liabilities components in a monitor, when you can just buy a decent but better webcam and mic for not much more. This is marketed as a high end gaming monitor, ain't no one using monitor speakers for gaming and most PC gamers barely run 4k+ because the trade off in frames normally isn't worth it if their GPU even can handle that.
The QD-OLED is theoretically suppose to eliminate the burn-in issue.
