As the headline states, it really might be. I've had it a little over a month now and honestly couldn't be happier. At a price point of 500-600, this is totally worth it. Recently upgraded from a 1440p BenQ gaming monitor and it's a huge difference.
Was looking for a monitor that I could use for color accurate work with my Macbook, but also something that I could use to get the most out of my Series X. It's a bit tricky to find something to do both well, but this is the best I have come across. Color gamut is great and very accurate out of the box with a calibration report. Using a monitor calibrator isn't necessary, but fine tunes it even more if you need to.
The selection of ports is really nice, OSD is simple enough, brightness is more than enough (especially compared to other LED gaming monitors), HDR is better than other monitors within this category (HDR 600). Overall the panel is nice and crisp with excellent picture quality no matter what you're doing. The matte coating isn't TOO strong and doesn't degrade the picture quality nearly as much as others.
I tried the BenQ EX3210u and one of the LG monitors that's comparable and this came out a clear winner for a lot of different reasons (despite the BenQ advertising wider P3 gamut coverage).
Yes, OLED monitors are going to be superior to this - but that jumps you into a different category all together (including price, which is literally double the cost of this). This also looks the sleekest out of the gaming monitors - no dragons or unicorn vomit on the back of unit which makes it suitable for professional settings as well.
Overall - get it. Especially if you need it to do more than just game on it and need color accuracy. No risk of burn in compared to OLED, color accurate, great gaming experience for consoles, sleek design and a 3 year replacement warranty from Dell. At this price point, certainly the best value on the market.
