I was worried about the curve but it's very minor. I wish it were 20% brighter but the image quality is very impressive for gaming and editing work. The only other criticism is it doesn't have built-in speakers. The target audience probably will purchase dedicated speakers but it would be nice to have so it's a complete experience out of the box.
The 32" size is a nice bump up from the 27" I'm used to and I found to be a nice Goldilocks size over the 42" LG OLED which I've seen a lot of people use as a monitor before the LG and ASUS monitors came out.
All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase.
I use a Sonos Beam G2 sound bar for audio (eARC) and getting that to work with this monitor, and actually output Dolby Atmos instead of just stereo, was a daily struggle. I did get it to work, eventually, but then it wouldn't the next time I used it.
The effort to get this to work with my set up just wasn't worth it. I also ended up missing the flat screen of the C3, not to mention the extra real estate. When I switched back to the C3, everything just worked, no configuration required and it looked much better too. The only benefit of the AW is the refresh rate, 240 vs. 120, but I could care less. Everything else is better on the C3 and, most importantly, it just works. Oh yeah, and it's frequently less expensive too ($799@Amazon).

And there are a few trolls here comparing this to a 2K monitor or standard OLED rather than QOLED. That alone should discredit their statements.
