** NEW LG MONITORS - INCLUDING 2 EXCLUSIVE TO OCUK!!! **

[GenesisGFX]

Are the units for 27GL850-B that are arriving in December coming early December? And if I was to place an order Monday, would those units guarantee I’d get delivery some point in December?

Same question

 

[nomadd]

Same question

Last update was: "I can confirm that we've just had a shipment but these all went to pending pre-orders, next allocation will be nominal but are expected by the end of December"

Hence why I purchased elsewhere.

Thanks @nomadd

Read the last couple of pages - it's not difficult to figure out.

From one of the other unboxing videos I have seen I think its a Mickey mouse type lead. Can anyone confirm?

First time I’ve heard it called Mickey Mouse, but yes, it’s one of those.

I'm starting to think that Amazon have scored more of these based on the size of the company leaving overclockers in the dust. The sad part is we would likely have UK stock available if not for this OCuk excusivity deal.

Agree. It all smelt a bit fishy and anti-consumerist from the start. And it's turned out to be a complete shambles.

Also, if it wasn't for the fact that people still have a choice to buy elsewhere at present, I'm sure the price would have been gouged to high-heaven.

The worst part is the one alternative I actually want Razer decides it doesn’t want to sell in Europe

I see the 27GL83A-B is now available in this country at a decent price.

I can't see much difference between this and the 27GL850?

There's not much going by these reviews other than the 2 usb ports. For gaming they are neck and neck.

Tempted to just refuse delivery on my 850 and go with this one.

Just cancelled and went with the 27GL83A-B.

With no USB ports on the 83A, I guess you are locking yourself into the firmware that ships with it?

I was reading up on the firmware updates for the GL850 yesterday; and I am sure there are more tweaks/tunes to come from LG in the coming months/years.

I upgraded the monitor firmware on my GL850 yesterday, using the supplied USB cable and rear monitor ports; the latest Windows "OnScreen Control" software from the LG website makes it pretty easy.

Just something to think about, should the 83A not be firmware upgradable.

 

[Deluxe1]

They are 2 diff models, ocuk must only have dibbs on the 850.

LG Ultragear 27GL83A-B 27-Inch i to am going to go with this i think looks good

 

[Ayahuasca]

Might chance one but not being able to update the firmware is a worry if that's so.

 

[carnivore]

allthough would have liked to go for 32 inch just cant decide
