They're now listed as out of stock, so presumably (hopefully) everyone that got an order in will get one
Yup. Was a truly obscene deal, they were never going to last long.

We oversold quite a lot but we've manage to get LG to give us a few more, they loose £212 per monitor on them so LG are crying big time.
So they've given us everything, which should just about cover all the orders.

Still on course for the 5th Gibbo? Very interested to see what this is like.
Well the stock is now in the UK warehouse ready for shipping. LG cannot afford to ship them this month as it is costing them in the region of £30,000 to support the deal.
So they will be shipped next week, so yes looking good for the 5th.
Well, even if it does, I can only find -B listed anywhere and they're all over £500 anyway.
Cracking deal, and thanks Gibbo for putting those through that you oversold - pretty sure mine wasn't one of the original 100 units

Cracking deal Gibbo - many thanks. How did you convince LG to take that hit? 
Details of the monitor are available here.
The specifications sheet is available under the "manuals and download" heading and shows the differences between the 27MB85Z-B (Thunderbolt) and the 27MB85R-B (miniDP) models.
A review is available for the 27MB85R-B model, but you'll need to use your favourite translator.

I took the plunge and bought this Friday. My only concern is the 5ms for my gaming. But as I am an MMOer rather than an FPSer, I am hoping it won't be much of an issue.
Have to confess, I was tempted by the 32 inch monitor being sold, but it wasn't as big a bargain, and frankly I am a sucker for an awesome discount!!

Tomorrow and day after, too many to ship all in one day, its like 25 palits worth of just one monitor line, hahaahahahah.

Do you want your monitors without holes in them?
