I already have a 34" screen, which I like, but would ideally like a touch more vertical resolution, so I've ben assuming that my next upgrade would be to a 38" ultrawide. But then these OLEDs came out, which are really tempting. A 38" OLED would be ideal, but not sure how long it'll take for them to be released.

I feel the same way and would prefer a 38/40” ultrawide with a horizontal resolution of at least 3840. A bit more vertical resolution would be welcome as well.

There’s an awful lot of windows apps/websites that don’t scale well side-by-side at 50% horizontally (1720x1440) of the 3440x1440 my current 34” ultrawide.

If I could ensure side by side meant each app had 1920 pixels horizontally that would work better.

Ordered! Thanks for the heads up of it being on discount again.

Hope it’s worth it

I'd be very surprised if you're disappointed.

It's on offer now. £700 or even £650.

Yup, the new one will be £1100+ for a good while I reckon, and prob 6 months away easily.

I used the Health service Discount website code and got it for £665. If the revisions are going to be £1200+ then the current model is a mega at that price IMO. A lot of the initial issues with the DWF have also been corrected by firmware updates too from what i've read. As for burn in, Dell offer a 3 year warranty against this and who knows how things will have moved on by then, meaning you might want to replace at that point anyway. Case in point, I paid £549 for my Dell S2716DG in 2017 which this will be replacing....

It's a great deal. I can't access the health service codes for some reason but even at 739 it's great. I wasn't aware of the 3 year burn in either so that's some comfort.

Mine has also shipped for delivery Monday.

I will be at work so might have to rearrange delivery for Friday when working at home. Probably wont get chance to have a proper play until then anyway but would rather have it in hand than being thrown around a depot.

I've just jumped on the band wagon, monitor being delivered tomorrow with UPS. Price worked out great with codes and TCB, just the upgrade I've been waiting for!

 

[Khem1st]

I've taken the plunge as well. £665 with the Dell Advantage code cant wait to get it.

 

[jonessa]

Delivered.

I'll come here with some feedback when I get home and plug it in
