To summarize the positive changes we're seeing here, the new DWF variant has a much quieter fan with a better fan curve, lower input lag for SDR and HDR gaming, several new OSD features, user upgradeable firmware, small SDR accuracy improvements and a new all-black design that I personally prefer. It's also the cheaper of the two at just $1,100, a $200 discount attributable to swapping the G-Sync module for a traditional scaler.

When they first arrived on the scene, OLED panels were something of a unicorn. The technology was proven, but low manufacturing yields kept them from entering the consumer mainstream. OLED panels are still a premium product today, but prices have come...
The Dell Alienware AW3423DWF is one of the best gaming monitors available. It undercuts the AW3423DW model by $200 yet offers virtually identical image quality and performance, as well as additional features.
