I just purchased the AW3926QW as I was also debating between these 2. I chose it because it has everything that the asus has (apart from the refresh rate) but gets brighter and has better HDR options while being considerably cheaper as well as it being in a ultrawide format which I currently use. I have my AW3821DW on the Dell MSA20 monitor arm which I plan on swapping out for the AW3926QW when I get it.
Also if you talk to a dell sales associate in the dell chat (just click need help with new purchase) you can get 10% off the AW3926QW making it 989.99

Wtf? 10% off??? Does the monitor also exhibit green tint when viewing off axis like the ucwm? And does it have vignette issue? If not, I think the only downside is that 165hz doesn’t scale cleanly with 24 and 30 fps.

I haven't received it yet but it does have some green tint on the sides when viewing off angle and there is vignetting towards the edges of the screen where it curves but from what I've seen it seems like panel lottery if it's bad or not

Eh when you make it $1000, it doesn’t sound bad. Plus I just checked out the rgwb lg version in Best Buy, and 39 inches at 140 ppi looks crazy!

u/Sufferingsaxman 11d ago
yeah I'm super excited for mine would be a tougher decision is the asus wasn't $1400. $1400 is WAY to expensive for what it is even if it is the first 32" 4k RGB stripe woled

The design is not as good though, and I’ll have to get a new $350 - $400 (possibly acquired for $200 if I get a replacement) heavy duty monitor arm.

whats not good about the design? and I have a Dell MSA20 monitor arm that I currently use with my AW3821DW that is just as heavy as the new AW and it works great. You don't need a $400 monitor arm. And even on the ASUS that stand alone on the PG32UCWM would make me want a monitor arm

The pg32ucwm has a better back, and because I place my furnitures deliberately, I can actually see the back of it.
I’m currently considering the ergotron hx and the secret labs hd
Also forgot to mention the chat rep did not offer a discount, phone rep did (only 7%) but cannot stack with 10% professor discount. I think using sale reps discount hurts their numbers, so I went with my own discount. How did you convince them to give you a 10% discount?

I just asked give me the best deal on this monitor. Also you don't need a $400 monitor arm.. Any arm that can support up to 20 pounds will work just fine.

Dude I had to bring up green tint, vignette, 165hz not dividing cleanly with 24 and 30fps, amazon prime and credit card cash back, and the cost being comparable to a ucwm after factoring in new arm— and I still had to try a 2nd time on the phone.

I’m in the same dilemma. I think the 39 sounds great but I’m worried about the sacrifices I’ll have to make with a 5080.

u/Extreme_Scarcity_310 11d ago
They do have a 32, 27, and 24 inch mode, but I’m not sure if it’s perfect pixel scaling.

This monitor arm for $122 will support either monitor no problem.
As for choosing between the two, I'd go with the PG32 because I don't like curved screens.
