I use this for work from home 20 hours a week, plus gaming and general browsing.

I have the taskbar set to auto-hide, no icons on the desktop, and the monitor goes to sleep automatically after five minutes.

Productivity isn't bad. You have to use the restroom and stretch your legs, grab a beverage, eat lunch. That's when it will generally do the pixel maintenance once or twice a day. I've had one of these since launch, no concern.

I will say, I also have a 4K LG C3 on my same PC and the difference for TEXT clarity is night and day better on the LG 4K.

Otherwise, I can't pick a favorite.
This OLED monitor has auto burn in protection. Every 4 hours of screen time it asks to activate the screen pixel scrambler. That was annoying after awhile for me so I disabled the warning box that appears. But it will also do it if you turn off the monitor if the 4 hours has been activated. It will do the pixel refresh thing THEN turn off the monitor. Also if you have Windows power settings you can have the monitor enter sleep mode after X amount of minutes. it should do the burn in protection while it enters sleep. But once it enters it, you can't cancel the burn in protection.

Because of this I HIGHLY recommend not getting an OLED for productivity unless you have a dual monitor setup. When the pixel refresh is going on you can't use the monitor. It goes on for like 5 minutes. I use dual monitors so it's never an issue. I mostly use the monitor for gaming/movies and my other panel for productivity. OLED is simply stunning. Best monitor technology by far.

So, I am in the market for a new monitor. Got a Samsung Odyssay Neo G7 32 inch... would be a great buy, if my unit didn't come defective with dead pixels. I saw all the negative reviews, and though it was likely a small percentage and being a Samsung fan, I assumed it'd be just fine, but not anymore, now I think I'd stay away from their monitors. With that said, I have a Dell 27 inch 1440p, and it's been great, so I am looking at Dell or Alienware options.
I'm a bit skeptical of OLED. 90%+ of my usage is productivity, web, office, photo and video editing. I'll say it: I'm scared of burn-in! That's why I was so excited about Neo G7, with it being a mini-LED display. Can anyone offer feedback about using OLED monitors for productivity? Sure way to mess them up rather quickly? An overblown issue? If I was to go with OLED, any advice on how to prevent burn-in? (as much as possible)

Really good deal jump on it if you're in the market. I got it for $699 and it is simply amazing and full of features to make it butter smooth. Blows my IPS ultragear out of the water completely in those terms, let alone the oled color reproduction

Both monitors can be upgraded nowadays. You're referring to the nsycn model AW3423DW, which is the one I have. I was able to upgrade it using a software release Dell made about 5-6 months ago.

Both monitors are great, and I'm sure no one will be disappointed with this monitor.

Don't buy oled for productivity. Simply not worth it. My pc runs 7x24 regularly.

I don't think your oled is any better than ips and va without talking about the contrast and color richness. Tons of gaming monitors have that "smooth" function

Have one now and getting this one for my brother. It's a great monitor. My first one had a dead pixel bar and Dell was able to replace it with a new monitor. So far so good with the replacement and I can confidently recommend it for my brother. '
Remember to check amex for additional bonus off. Mine had 50 back on 250 spent.

Forgot about hdr. Ips hdr is just plain bad while oled hdr, doesnt matter if it is 400hdr it blows aways ips.

Ghosting which ips suffer from while oled doesnt have this problem. Latency is also a problem with ips
