Question LG 34GN850-B vs Alienware AW3420DW for gaming

I can't for the life of me pick between the two. It's clear the LG is a slightly better monitor. But there is so many horror stories around RMA with LG vs Dell. The LG has a 1 year warranty. The dell has a 3 year and seems to be about universally considered to be easier to deal with when it comes to RMA.
Both are about identical in price.
With only having a 2080 super founders edition instead of the 2080TI I don't care that much about 120hz vs 144 between the two. Most of the games I'll be playing won't reach either of those unless I drop down quality.
The LG HDR is a joke at 400 so that doesn't help me pick.
The LG is g-sync compatible while the Dell is legit full g-sync.
The Dell is considered to have better build quality.
The LG has displayport 1.4 the dell is 1.2
Reviews aren't helping because everyone who reviews them loves them both so all I have to go off of is specs and that never tells the whole picture.

Any of you fine gents own either of them and can help me make up my mind?

I guess I can understand that man. Well, good luck to you either way. Hope it works out for the best, one way or the other, in the end.

You know, if you contact Amazon and explain that you were mislead on the warranty due to the sneaky nature of LG's posted warranty listing with nothing on either of those pages to indicate that it was a Hong Kong product warranty, and that you are extremely unhappy about it, you might be able to get it returned at no charge. And if that doesn't work, you might try emailing jeff@amazon.com, which will put you in contact with the corporate liaison department where they have a lot more latitude in solving customer issues.

To update this, I just got a full refund from the Amazon seller. So if you're interested in the LG 34GN850 and are going to buy through Amazon, the seller called "Video & Audio Center- Same Day Shipping" will take care of you. It's nice to see a company that cares enough to makes people happy.

And to anyone interested in the Acer CG437K, lol make sure you have a big desk. It's not quite as good of a panel overall as the LG 34GN850, but I love it. Seems like I now have 2 LG 34 stacked on top of each other.
