I have the 175hz g-sync model of this monitor, and I love it for gaming.
For me, 3440x1440 is perfect in games 🙂
Once you go oled, you don't go back 😀

I've got my eyes on this one, but I guess OLEDs are too expensive for me right now.
My upgrade plan is "new monitor, then new GPU".

2.38:1 aspect ratio on my desk?
No thanks.

This one looks like a kick ass monitor on specs !

It's awesome, just like the previous white one (though I'm curious what are the differences between the two). The only reason I didn't upgrade yet, is that I still have the old IPS AW3420DW and don't know what to do with it, since I lack space for 2 and I imagine it's rather hard to sell. 😳

I was looking before on the same 175Hz G-sync model, but didnt jump on it, because of inbuilt active fan into monitor for hot G-Sync module. I hope this version with 165Hz FreeSync doesnt have inbuild fan. It seems wrong that monitor comes with active fan in it, even if its gaming monitor. They could do better for such a price.

DCI spec on "4K" and still has 2160 lines vertically.
If we can turn off pixels (which we can) and get perfect blacks (which we can) then, surely the monitor could be the largest total size possible and be rectangular so it conforms to the shape of a desk? If that is done, then, whatever 'aspect ratio' the individual wants or needs can be used - so, if you like a wide angle, fine, no problem, just turn off the pixels you do not need, shazzam! You got the aspect ratio of your dreams - yet when using the computer, you can use the rest of the lines for desktop use.
Movies are not all the same aspect ratio either, even though digital cinema projectors must conform to the spec, the actual projection is just either using the whole of the screen or, it is not - so if a big blockbuster movie has so crazy aspect ratio of 2.4:1, it only means they are NOT going to be using all available vertical lines of projection!
IMAX is very different, and I am not surprised that Chris Nolan is releasing his final masterpiece "Oppenheimer" next year on IMAX, because, nuclear explosions deserve LASER projection.
BOT:
I like the tech, just not the aspect ratio - I want the golden ratio, but will concede to 1.6:1 quite happily
Oh, I know how good QD-OLED is - the issue is the aspect ratio for a desktop monitor. I need more vertical resolution so I have a higher quality vertical image that is as close to the golden ratio as possible, and the only one ever produced is the classic 1.6:1 ratio. 1920x1200, 2560x1600 and the closest one to this would be 3840x2400, but that monitor does not exist.
If this had another 1,000 lines vertically, I would be shouting [insert Futurama gif of Fry holding a wad of bills] and throwing out my low grade Dell HDR 3840x2160, just to get those extra 240 vertical lines.
Another resolution I would like is 4096x2160, which I know is an odd 1.89:1, but, it does conform to Calenhad

Dell still make golden ratio monitors, just with not high resolutions as you pointed out.
I drag nothing, my POV is quite streamlined and svelte 🙂
