Recently picked up this monitor as I was wanting to give OLED a shot. I know some would love to debate WOLED vs this panels QD-OLED. For my use, in a dimly lit office, the different is moot. What I can say is this monitor is CRISPY. I mostly bought it to see what Cyberpunk with all the visual and HDR mods would look like compared to my 34" IPS, and it's quite dramatic.

Another thing I've read about is text clarity can be an issue on OLED. I'm just not seeing that. Text is clear and sharp, for me.

This display is bright, white's are white, blacks are endlessly deep, colors are vibrant and accurate. 240hz is buttery smooth. I've also read about VRR stutter but I've not experienced that on the dozen or so games I've played with G-Sync on. I've also not noticed pixel shift.

Another cool feature, this monitor has a built in KVM.

I have two complaints.

First, is how deep the stand is and how far forward it places the display. I have a 24" deep desk and it puts the display nearly in the middle of the desk. I prefer my displays sitting further away, so hopefully a arm will rectify that.

Second, the placement and orientation of the connectors on the back. They point down and sit at the bottom of the monitor. With straight plug DP and power you're going to see them poking out from the bottom of the bezel. This can be resolved with right angle connector cables, but I feel those should have been included.
 
I've been running on a C3 as my primary display for a while now and even though it's only 120hz refresh I love it.
 
I'm so tempted to snag one of these OLEDs that are on sale, but haven't done so for myself. I got my wife the Alienware 34" curved ultrawide, and it looks sharp, but not enough to make me jump on it yet.

The Alienware AW3425DW was on my list. It really was a toss up between it and the MSI I bought. I believe they both use the same panel. Went with the MSI due to built in KVM.

Was kinda disappointed the Alienware didn't have any sort of PIP/Split Screen for an ultrawide. Wife couldn't get Windows Snap to do what she wanted with games, and ended up with another monitor to the side of an ultrawide...
