I could never get into curved displays. I did not get a curved TV when they were getting popular, and sold my curved monitor after I realized it is destructing. Maybe if it was one of those ultra ultra wide displays Samsung sells, but otherwise no. These kinda sound right on paper, but using one was not the experience I was hoping for.The AW3423DWF monitor is a stellar choice, but its firmware ability is sort of a gimmick, offering "updates" that merely bring it close to the DW model's performance (full disclaimer, I own the DW model).
It costs more, but the DW's G-sync Ultimate module and somewhat superior HDR performance make the it better monitor - ignoring cost, of course. For me, G-sync Ultimate was worth the premium. It's just so smoooth and works flawlessly.
I would still opt for the DW today in hindsight.
You sold your monitor after you realized it was falling apart? That some top tier scum behavior.I could never get into curved displays.

No. I sold it because the curve felt really unnatural. Flats only for me now.You sold your monitor after you realized it was falling apart? That some top tier scum behavior.

The reviewers and buyers disagree. G-Sync module benefits these days are so far and few that I would be surprised if anyone but professional reviewer would even notice the difference side-by-side.The AW3423DWF monitor is a stellar choice, but its firmware ability is sort of a gimmick, offering "updates" that merely bring it close to the DW model's performance (full disclaimer, I own the DW model).

Idk bout "superior"The reviewers and buyers disagree. G-Sync module benefits these days are so far and few that I would be surprised if anyone but professional reviewer would even notice the difference side-by-side.
It does however have many downsides. For example in Europe you cant even buy DW anymore as it's completely replaced by DWF - the superior version.
Also personally I like the DWF's black design much better than the DW's white that does not mix well with most setups people have.
