DELL AW3420DW Screen

Does anyone know what screen this has?

The Dell website has opposing information and lists it in one place as 16.67m colours so 8 bit and another place as 1.07B colours so 8 bit +FRC and WCG.

I'm trying to decide between this and the LG34GK950F. I've read the new Dell has the same screen as the LG Freesync variant , in which case I'll go for the Dell for the warranty, build quality and adaptive sync.

If it's the same as the G-Sync variant I may as well go for the LG.

Thanks

It's 8bit 16.7M. I know since I own one.

Thanks mate, that's what I needed to know.

How are you finding it? Any issues with banding or high gamma?

Thanks for the info. Does it have gamma control, I know the 3418 doesn't.

There's about £80 difference between the new Dell and the LG at the moment here so I'll have to have a good think.

Does the fact that it's 8 bit vs the LG 34GK950F's 10 bit make a difference if you're not planning to use HDR? In the same boat as OP

The LG has a wider colour gamut and according to a couple of posts elsewhere it also is less prone to banding. This was compared to the AW3418DW though and according to Feklar above it isn't an issue with the newer model.
