Why colour space DCI-P3? I thought sRGB was the one to go for?
Interested!

Personal choice, DCI-P3 is more vibrant , sRGB is more natural

Mine looks epic in HDR sRGB warzone creator mode.
Looks dull in windows SDR sRGB creator mode

Oh they both look good, I just prefer more Saturation

Some people just prefer over saturated colors, which is what using dci-p3 in sdr generally does. There is some windows programs that can be used with dci-p3 in sdr and look normal because they have the color profile for it and that's the only reason why Alienware even lets us select between Srgb and dci-p3, it's for the odd person who uses professional apps that can view dci-p3 correctly but windows itself and most programs and most SDR games are calibrated for SRGB, so when you un-clamp the color space with dci-p3 that the game was not calibrated for, it results in a high contrast, highly saturated image.

Should one pull the trigger at 650 quid, with all discounts applied?

Depends if you want to buy another screen in 3 or 4 years.

Well, of course. I'd usually upgrade every 3 years anyway.

And, if you seriously think burn in is a problem then you don't buy OLED...

It still is a common problem as seen by the number of people who've had their DW and DWFs replaced for burn-in.

I personally wouldn't buy an OLED without a warranty that covers it.

Yeah, I'm flip-flapping between this and LG - 27GR95QE-B for £630.00. Really don't know which to go for. I do like 27 inch flat 1440p panel. But then again, I'm 100% sure I'll love the AWDF too. LG will be easier to drive though.

It is a problem on AW3423DW that is rectified by Dell within 48 hours. Ask @mrk, he is on his 4th one

On the other hand, you have Samsung for the same price that explicitly does not cover it. Its a no brainer.

I have jut bought this monitor but thinking of sending back. Everything else is stunning but text just doesn't look right to me on screen. Have tried ClearType, BetterClearTypeTuner & MacType but cannot get it to look right. The more I am trying to fix the more it is irritating me lol.

I use my monitor for work and emails as well and I don't think I could just get used to it!
