But im not ok with a $1300 monitor coming with defects. The 300 or so difference coupled with the 70/30 work vs gaming aspect since I’ve read about some issues with reading text for long periods and a few about burn in (but those seemed rare with the pixel shift software stuff. Im sure Dell will take the one with the stuck pixel and sell it as a refurb, and someone might be 100% OK with that. Yeah I get OLED looks great, and I was looking at both of them, but it just didn’t blow me away the way I thought it would. And I guarantee if you buy an open box unit it will have some kind of problem. The panels are gorgeous, WHEN THEY WORK but honestly, It seems like im probably going to be making heavy use of the 3 year warranty and im starting to wonder if I screwed up in selling my super reliable AW3420DW.
