    Dell U4025QW - 40" 5120x2160 120Hz

    Similar situation. Very tempted by this monitor as I've steadily been working from home longer hours. Little worried the step down from oled will be too much however. Coming from an aw34 1st gen.

    Pensions - Are you worried about the future?

    Pensions are tax free on the way in. 25% tax free and remaining 75% taxed at your marginal rate on the way out. In essence those who are basic in and out are at least 5% better off ignoring National Insurance and growth. If you're higher stepping down to basic you're even better off. As...

    World first QD-OLED monitor from Dell and Samsung (34 inch Ultrawide 175hz)

    Haha aye. ;) Utility room was extended 4.5ms into the garden by previous owners. Perfect size for my office + coffee area with easy access to pace in the garden on calls. Silver lining is it lets me ignore fan noises quite easily as I can't move the freezer anywhere else.

    World first QD-OLED monitor from Dell and Samsung (34 inch Ultrawide 175hz)

    I can hear the fan occasionally. But only if my PC is at idle and my freezer behind me (4ft away) is dead quiet. If you have a purely silent build and zero noise you will hear the fan if it ramps up. For reference if I have just normal wind coming through a open window it drowns out the monitor...

    World first QD-OLED monitor from Dell and Samsung (34 inch Ultrawide 175hz)

    Finished Elden Ring on the new monitor. HDR is excellent (I gave up online play). Very happy with the upgrade. Lots of games don't support UW and likely never will but for the games that do I certainly can't go back to less than 34"! Just struggling for my PC to actually go into sleep mode, or...

    Alas my April "ETA" date appears to be missed. Unless it magically gets posted and received on the same day. :p Getting more and more envious of those that have already received theirs! Won't be cancelling with the vast majority reporting positive feedback.

    Just been confirmed via email my order is delayed until ETA of 22 April 2022 - Interestingly my order confirmation email came in at 08:38. Still a bargain. So I'll wait. Can watch more reviews as they come in and always cancel!

    I'll maintain my order. £847 - Steal for the monitor imo. Unless I see something better in the very short term I can be patient for a few months.

    Pay your mortgage off early or invest?

    Liquidity, Cash, is king in all walks of life. I'd overpay so my mortgage clears before 60. After that ISAs (liquidity for the present as I'm pre-40) and then Pensions (tax relief). Once I'm maximising Pensions (without being so daft to hit the LTA), ISAs come next, anything above that will hit...

    Haha! Considering I only paid £847 for it I'm going to sit on it even if it there is a delay.

    Still sitting at confirmed only but showing as ETA as tomorrow. Well guess we'll see. I still can cancel which appears to be a bad sign. Sadly.

    Same. Payment is shown as pending via my bank, Dell is still showing confirmed and 24 March... Looking unlikely reading these latest comments! Hopefully the old business card went through fast and I'm in some special queue. :p

    World first QD-OLED monitor from Dell and Samsung (34 inch Ultrawide 175hz)

    I was thinking this. Makes me wonder what else is on the horizon for it to be priced so competitively. Still a huge leap over my current monitor so I'm happy regardless!
