How are you guys getting them for £900 odd when the price is £1100?

Go to the website and click on the Chat, and chat with one of the reps there.. they usually instantly will give you a price of £990.00 all in. but if you keep pushing then they'll start moving. try different reps or another time if you don't get a price good enough.

Lowest i got was £950.00 ( and I've tried for everyday for past 2 weeks) for just the monitor and basic 3 year warranty. Tried several times today ( as its financial year end) and they would only move to £930 twice... the Pro Support was a fluke i think.

God knows how 3t3p got the 5 year pro support for £15 more!

Dell Chat, just chat to a rep there and they should be able to help.

Any downside to overclocking the refresh rate to 120 on these? I.e reduced life etc?

Been looking at these for a while and just had a chat with a Dell rep and managed to get one for £913.01 inc VAT and delivery. Happy with that. Expected delivery 2nd May.

It was the standard 3 year warranty but I just stated I've seen a number of people obtain discounted prices of £900. The first offer was around £965 and second offer was what was agreed, wasn't going to risk losing out for £13.

Dont get it. Ive tried a few times and never once have they offered a different price from the first one offered.

I know, desperate for opinions and monitor pr0n.

Just been quoted 990 for this and losing will to wait for new stuff to appear! Will see if I can get it any lower but is very tempting.

When I got my offer it seemed to be purely based on the agents discretion tbh.

The fact you may have to wait until May to receive it is insane and quite frankly I'd argue for a steep discount. The panel is lovely but not worth a two month wait when you can get the Acer X34P which appears to be the exact same panel minus the pretty RGB and better warranty.

It had never occurred to me to try to haggling with one of the online reps, it ended up costing me £935, including the 5 year warranty

The X34P also has the pretty RGB downlight strip

Are OCuk likely to get either monitors in?

When I was looking to buy an X34P they told me they will stock it but no ETA on when stock would arrive

Well I be damned I hadn't even noticed.

So are the alienware and the x34p essentially the same as I was looking at getting the pg348q a little ways down the line but if these other two are better for a similar price I'd rather go with one of them.

Yes, the Alienware and X34P both have newer superior panels to the Asus man. I'd def go for one of the newer type for 120hz
