. I don’t know if it’s MSI or the retailer who’s set that pre order price but they won’t sell many in the uk if it stays at that I don’t think

@Baddass, or anyone else with experiance
Think ill be putting the dell on a wall monitor arm and will be wanting a longer display port cable.
Do you have any concernes on 4m or 5m cables working at this full spec 4k 240hz or should a good 1.4 rated cable do the job do you think?
thanks

Seems to be MSI, as the Bolton shop had them at the same.
been looking at more vidoes / whats available and works with least work to get fitted etc.
think a desk mount will be better in my case actually, but a reasonbable £60 with dual hinge etc. when im watching movies in bed i can swing it out more is the plan, as well as gaining the desk space from no stand.
decided on a 5m display port 2.1 80Gbps rated cable - should cover length needs and speed/quality. usb and power extenisons i have all ready
I've had the same problem. The biggest issue is that most of the long DP cables are THICK which makes them very had to plug in and route the cable. It puts a strain on them and they will eventually brake - 2 of them died on me(they were giving random black screens with 4090). Changed to shorter and my problems went away.
So if you decide on it - make sure to buy a cable that looks thin and flexible.

I'm sorry but do NOT do this. The cables needs to be thick in order to transport the signal at the required bandwidth. Each wire inside the cable has to be of a thicker gauge in order to transfer the signal a longer distance with the same resistance as a shorter thinner cable. Just do your best to remove all strain and most importantly you can't have any sharp bends.
haha, velcro zip ties it is then if i need them on the monitor arm!
i know fibrre optic cables dont like bends, but copper cables id not expect to be too sensitive, its carying electricity not light
anyway, ill keep that in minid. think ill be getting the mount sorted for my existing 27" IPS setup and then once the 32" arrives it will be plug and play. gives time to play with cables and get it how i want it.

MSI are now offering three year burn-in warranty as well, but at the prices they're currently charging, who cares!?
Agreed, it's crazy pricing. It's not like they have an amazing brand to cause the price bump.

Sure i read that the 27" in the US is $699, so no idea why it's £999 here

That might be the cheaper MEG model, so far I've only seen pricing for the more expensive MPG model in the UK. MPG comes with all the AI crap.

MEG models aren't fw updateable apparently, so keep in mind.
Thought it was possible through the MSI gaming intelligence app, if not that is just a silly move by MSI.

Did I see that the Asus FW can be updated using a button? Quite a good idea, but Dell for me all the way. Looking forward to receiving it!
Good to see progress, I will still stick with Dell though
unless Samsung follows suit on employee website.

Yeah, they announced 2 years and then MSI immediately announced 3 years - so Asus were somewhat forced to match it.
I'm not sure any of us here would recommend Asus' support though especially in contrast to Dell. I'm pretty sure I'm still waiting on my 'cashback' for my Asus Sabertooth Z87 from about 2013.
They are also refusing warranty for gpu if you are using native 12vhpwr psu cable, truly horrible.
