At $800 (on sale) this is well worth the upgrade. Dont bother with 4K if you're fan of shooters, this is way better, and slightly easier to push. Warning: HDR on windows is a pain, no fault of Dell though.

I really wanted to love this monitor. I picked it up at a good price on Black Friday deals, took it home and used it for a good two weeks. Today it stopped turning on at all, so it's getting returned.
The OLED panels have gotten a lot of hype, some of it deserved and a lot of it overblown in my opinion. Where this monitor really stands out is the clarity of image and the smoothness of motion. The 'inky blacks' that OLEDs are known for aren't as 'inky' as people make them out to be. My IPS monitor looks 90% as good as the OLED does - where the difference comes into play is the backlight bleed. The IPS panel backlight is noticeable and that definitely can reduce contract. With some minor tweaking, that's almost un-noticable however.
Pros: Crispy sharp image. The per-pixel control makes lines and differentiation between colors and textures really stand out.
No backlight bleed. No color bleed. motion handling is superb - literally no ghosting or panel lag at all.
Games in HDR look superb and crispy.
Cons: The whole thing is fiddly. The panel feels light and cheap. Very limited connectors - 1xDisplayPort, 2 HDMI, 2 USB.
The glossy screen picks up fingerprints from a distance and they are super notable and not easy to clean. Very reflective - don't have a bright light source near if you don't want to see everything behind and around you.
HDR is a hit or miss prospect. You'll spend a lot of time switching back and forth to HDR/SDR, waiting for the panel to resume, and then back again. Sometimes the panel just won't change out of HDR mode. When in HDR mode, you can't change from say Cinema mode to RPG mode, etc. to shift the colors. You have to exit, change, go back into HDR. My other HDR monitor has no issues doing this in HDR mode.
OSD is a little clunky w/ the nipple button under the display dead center.
Text weirdness from the subpixel layout was not as bad as I expected - it took me about a day to get used to the text , which was better after running ClearType a couple of times. Much worse when using dark mode - white letters on a black BG have a weirdness to them that makes it hard to look at.
When hooked up to my system with another monitor (I run three screens) , changing HDR or any mode would cause the other panel to change as well. I have each set for HDR individually (tho both are HDR capable as well) and half the time my second panel just would not recover from it. I don't have this happen ever with my AW38.
The overall feeling after using this for two solid weeks is that it is a gorgeous panel, very crisp and fast, and has great colors - but - it's still very young tech, including the driver support and HDR support - and unless you're using your PC primarily as a gaming pc, I'd wait on this panel. I was waffling on keeping it simply bc of the clarity and motion handling, but I went to turn it on this morning and it's dead. No power, nothing. That pretty much seals the deal for me. I'm going to stick with my reliable and very pretty IPS panel and wait for this tech to mature.
Background: I've been an IT tech and PC builder/enthusiast and professional for nearly 30 years.

By far the best gaming monitor I’ve ever seen. It looks better than the LG equivalent. The quantum dot panel and not having a matte finish really let’s all of the colors pop like they should.

Great monitor with wonderful optics. Keeping my eye out for any dead pixels. Love it so far. Samsung’s notorious for their dead pixels, their prices are sky high, and their return policy is atrocious!!! Hoping Dell will be better

This is my first Ultrawide and the screen is great for immersion. Games look beautiful and extra screen is great for work. I just don't like that you have to refresh the screen every 4 hours which gets annoying.

Can’t go wrong with it, got it on sale and its perfect for the sale price. Idk about full price but if it’s something you’re looking to get id definitely justify getting it when it’s back on sale or full price if you got it like that. Either way, really great monitor and will never be able to go back.

Overall I like this monitor I'm sad my screen started to defilm after only 6 months and best buy and alienware refuse to replace it or they are expecting me to pay to replace the screen I've only ever cleaned with microfiber cloths

One of the best PC monitors you can buy today. Would not recommend if you plan to connect a console like an Xbox or PlayStation as compatibility and IO is lacking. HDR 400 TrueBlack is amazing and you won’t want to game on anything that doesn’t have it. With OLED coming to monitors this is only the beginning and I can’t wait to see how to competition will do to compete.
