Had that happen before for me, lazy ****ing driver imo.
Quite annoying, i have a feeling it might come tomorrow but why not deliver to my door! I'm in anyway and its the weekend...
I hate having a monitor being passed around like this, more potential for damage and mishandling.

Good grief, I just saw the Black Friday price for the AW3423DWF. Awesome price!!
Any idea what happened at month 6 of the longevity test? Burn in disappeared. It didn't even look like burn in which is dark shade in month 4, it looked more like image retention.

Dell Alienware AW3423DWF Review
The Dell Alienware AW3423DWF is a 34-inch ultrawide QD-OLED monitor. It's a similar model to the Dell Alienware AW3423DW, which was released prior to this model....

I'm away for the next 2 weeks but mentally compiling a list of games to play when I get back that will show off OLED in the best possible light, So far I have both Ori games, Anyone got any suggestions ?
They likely shifted their attention to that very long burn in test they're doing which includes the DWF.

Pcmonitors.info take on rtings test:
i.e. don't pay too much attention to their tests if you're using your monitor as normal

The first RTings test was flawed because it did not allow some displays to run their maintenance cycles, add to that some buggy Samsung firmware preventing that.
The new test took that into account and we now see 2nd gen Samsung TVs being more resilient than the LG ones.

We also see the DWF exhibit no burn in after 6 months running CNN 20 hours a day at full brightness, that's 3600 hours of static logo and news crawl. How can some users still get burn in within months then?
Very puzzled about the whole thing and I still wouldn't use an OLED as a monitor. As a TV it's fine but I'm ready to fight for my rights if burn in shows up and I get fobbed off warranty wise.

Wonder if the DWF would burn in faster than my CX.
You CX had burn in? My B9 has none that I can see, but not used it as a monitor, but she'd many games on it.

Nah, it's been flawless so far despite playing the odd game for a long time without switching. Was wondering which had the better resistance but it will probably be a few years to know for sure. Haven't seen many cases of CX burn-in.
I am not worried about burn in on OLED's any more to be honeat. Any burn you do ever get you need to go out of your way to find it too.
OLED only for me going forward until micro Led comes out and is price similar.

Don’t look like the G-sync version is on sale on Amazon
Something I found out recently from a Dell rep, Apparently the G-Sync version is discontinued in the UK and Europe, But still in production and for sale in the US, Weird decision.

Wow! I paid £928.99 on launch day last December! That's a great price. One year in and I've had no issues or burn in with a combination of gaming and work on this monitor. Very happy with it.

As mentioned the Gsync Ultra version (the DW) was discontinued.Don’t look like the G-sync version is on sale on Amazon
The DWF is Gsync compatible though.

It was actually on sale for a brief moment on Amazon for around £739 i think.

Someone likely got some US stock as it's still in production and for sale in the US.
Think I did see that just before the Black Friday sales started.
