stuartharrison - you are correct in that the 27UD68-W and 27UD68-P are only different in colour - BUT - what is sold in the UK is infact 27UD68P (no dash) - this is because the model we have here in the UK is height adjustable and has pivot, whereas the 27UD68-W/27UD68-P are fixed stand

Dan

I've no real intention of pivoting it but the height adjust is certainly useful.

Have to say that the build quality of the UD68P is immediately impressive on unboxing.
What is surprising, for the price, is that it is colour calibrated at the factory.

Finding it a bit bright on my eyes but I'll play around with contrast tomorrow (got brightness turned down).

What is the difference between the 68 and the 88?
I'm guessing the 88 gives 100% RGB?
Or a sturdier stand.

Anyway, the UD68p is a rather nice monitor.

The 88 uses a different IPS panel (called Neo Blade III) which allows us to have what we call "Infinity Display" which allows a really slim 2.5mm bezel on all 4 sides

UD88 is also 350 nits compared to 300 on the UD68,and the UD88 has USB-C

Hello,

Are the UD88's due in this week by any chance?

Also I just purchased a macbook pro 15" and I read that these screens only output 60W for charging, is this a problem if my macbook requires an 85W charger?

Thanks

Hiya

I believe OCUK are getting stock tomorrow!

I am unsure on the Mac question though

Despite OcUK describing the monitor as 'black', I assume this product link is in fact the white monitor as seen below:

It's black on the front, white on the back, so I guess you get the best of both worlds!

Phlash · 4 Jan 2017 at 12:25

Is there an ETA for stocking this monitor... looking to pair it up with the 34UC98!

Cheers!

Daniel - LG · 5 Jan 2017 at 14:29

Hi Phlash,

we only have 48 units coming in this month as slight supply issue over Xmas period, should be available WC 17th Jan or around that time

Dan

Thanks for the update Dan!

Stock in the UK seems very thin on the ground for this. Still looking w/c 17th?

Darrensen · 11 Jan 2017 at 15:27

I'd also like to know on this as I need to get a 4k display asap. If there's going to be further delays I'll have to find a substitute.

Daniel - LG · 12 Jan 2017 at 09:59

Stock landed with us yesterday so will be sent out to distie for next week - so I still anticipate Gibbo getting stock next week

LiE · 12 Jan 2017 at 11:38

Thanks for the update Daniel.

Darrensen · 12 Jan 2017 at 12:22

Thanks Daniel.

Sorry to chip in on this at a slight tangent, but wondering if this might provide the occasion for an offer on the UD68? :eek:

If so, can guarantee a buyer here

Daniel - LG · 13 Jan 2017 at 16:49

with the $ rate and panel pricing currently prices are only going one way - UP

if you want a monitor - buy now - don't wait - as it will be more in 3-4 weeks time!

Fozzie55 · 17 Jan 2017 at 17:24

Thank you Daniel, any news on where they are please? I've pre-ordered one from another place as yet, promised on Friday. Prefer to order from OC...

buntonn · 17 Jan 2017 at 18:53

I am trying to find one in the UK right now, cannot find one anywhere... If anyone know where I might get one?

Thanks

stefk005 · 17 Jan 2017 at 18:56

Thanks for the reply, Daniel. Everywhere seems to be out of stock atm
