Alienware AW3423DW OLED

Anyone tried this with any flight simulators?  In almost every respect this sounds like a great gaming monitor, and the black handling could be what I've always wanted for night flying.  Just one small thing occurred to me, text clarity can be an issue according to some reviews (albeit focussed to an office environment).  I wondererd if flight instruments might prove harder to read?

(PS I'd almost certainly buy this anyway, expect for the fact that even if I ordered it today Dell can't deliver to me in the UK before October)

I had the Alienware 34 in curve non OLED version and it was great. Didn't have any issue with text. Believe I increased text to either 125/150% as I do on the 4K screen. I was moving it one day and accidentally slipped and hit the corner of the desk and cracked the screen. Awkward to move. Doh! I would get another one if my 4K screen craps out.

I have a 34" curved gigabyte, and was horrified when I put an enormouse scratch on the panel after managing to drop a keyboard on it.  Amazingly the pencil eraser trick worked and it was as good as new again,

OLED is amazing, you cannot beat it, especially for night flying.
The only thing to watch out for is eye strain, be careful with the gamma as those high OLED contrasts can be fatiguing if you don't set things up right.
