For all potential buyers be aware that this model has issues with backlight flickering at low refresh rates. https://amp.reddit.com/r/ultrawidemasterrace/comments/kmj2by/aw3821dw_suddenly_flickering/

The issue is easy to reproduce on HDMI @60Hz with dynamic backlight mode 0. Wonder why there is no mention of this problem in this review. It is not hard to discover this defect. Jist switch between DP @144 and HDMI @60 connected at the same time.
