At least they are shipping! Aw man, must feel good to know it waiting at home.
@rawuk I hope that the parts shortage isn't a recent thing and doesn't end up delaying our orders..
@shimarayn my order is no longer trackable the moment. Although I have got a reply from their senior customer care that all is in hand.
I'll update as soon as I know what's happening.

Mine was ordered 22nd Feb due to be delivered 28th March, customer services are now stating 10th April 
I'm so so tempted just to buy something else but there really isn't much out there that's available even close to the same spec

I'm in the same boat, delivery supposed to be the 13th April. There is literally nothing else I wouold rather get at them moment though so I guess its a waiting game now.

My status is order 'confirmed' and the estimated delivery date is 27/03/18. I ordered 21st Feb.
Just got an email stating my order will be delivered tomorrow and that I can't change the delivery date or address. Now I need to convince the wife to stay home. She'll be chuffed.

Well at least it's early? Hahaha.
My order has been confirmed since February. Current date due is 3 April 2018. No conf back from the customer service rep.
Haven't noticed from anyone's sigs ... but are any of you guys running these (or other UWHD) on 1070's? I get the impression everyone is 1080[/Ti], just curious what a lower card experience is like (I'm not expecting to be making use of the 100+fps before an upgrade, but interested in what the experience is like lower down) Thanks!
I've currently got the PG348Q and I run it with a GTX 980. No issues at all for me. I'm not the sort of person to run benchmarks, or look at FPS and complain things are not good enough because im only getting 89fps when I should be getting 90. I play games, simple
Looking forward to getting my AW. Although my status has changed from Shipped to In Progress and I dont even have a delivery date now lol

Ran a PG348Q until recently on a 1070 and you just have to turn the settings down. I found on most stuff Medium settings still look great and you get decent fps
I have a friend who runs a 1070(Ti maybe) with an Ultrawide 1440 and he says with G-sync on he plays AAA games on high settings and it is buttery smooth and sweet looking

The new Acer Predator X34P looks very interesting.... My dispatch date was supposed to be today which didn't happen and no further communication from Dell.
If they don't sort things out soon and dispatch I'm seriously considering the new Acer as it is the same panel.

I'd wait if I were you, Dell warranty is far superior and so is the build quality.

Is it that much better... it's the same panel.
Dell are just messing me about a bit really, made many promises and still no further forward or have any clue when/if I'll get the monitor from them
Thanks for the replies - good to know!

Hang on if you can, Acer have an absolutely awful rep for customer service.

If the price is similar, Dell is a no brained.
Much more eligant design, much better build quality (the panel is the same, but the frame is different), Dell’s warranty is a next day advanced exchange service, versus Acer non-existent warranty

The warranty is with the retailer now not the manufacturer and I would much prefer the Alienware but if they keep delaying and delaying dispatch then that's an issue... I have waited since 22nd Feb and still no guarantee when they will dispatch...
The main problem I have is if it doesn't arrive before 2nd April I can't take delivery... Too big to fit in my car so can't collect from depot, no safe place to leave it, don't know neighbours as new estate so wouldn't trust it to be delivered to them and I can't get time off work again until June.... I'm kinda stuffed really...
I have my heart set on a 34" curved g-sync monitor so have two to pick from.... one I could have with guaranteed next day delivery or wait for an unlimited time frame and possibly wont even be able to take delivery
The last I heard from Dell was this:
"I'm still awaiting for a confirmation from my team about the order shipment. Looks like there is huge shortage, trying my best to get it resolved."
After hearing about how great Dell are for customer service I'm a little underwhelmed and dissapointed.
