Still waiting, that Dell syncreon order tracking is terrible. There's probably no precall because there wasn't enough digits to put in a UK mobile number when I ordered. :rolleyes:

Price is back to £1100 . Did your money actually left your bank account ? Its weird you have a problem with it..dont see any more people complaining .. good luck !

Banks said they're waiting to take it out. And I've explained to them how no-one seems to having that issue at all but it doesn't really help with anything.

lol they're now saying the delivery was too heavy for the courier at 44KG, they're delivering again tomorrow.

Does this thing weigh 44Kg?? :eek:

edit: Dells website says 11.86kg, that packaging is 32kg

Just had mine delivered yesterday, it's more 44lbs rather than 44kg. The packaging alone is heavier than the monitor.

This is how huge the box is! The photo doesn't do it justice, its much bigger.

Yeah I had the same tracking as revollucion and mine turned up today too so fingers crossed for you chaps

Just been having a play now, tis glorious in games.

Has got quite some backlight bleed bottom left corner though. Anyone know how good/bad Dell are at replacing these for bleed or do I have to live with it?

Hi..Can you please post some pictures so we can see what you mean by ‘quite some backlight bleed’

I didnt switch on mine yet. I was very budy today...

Make sure you calibrate colors and keep brightnes down. Also make sure there is enough distance between you and screen..

Check TFT CENTRAL review for this screen and also download color profile..

I will post more info, pictures about my screen once I have more time

Hutch · 19 Jul 2018 at 22:50

It isn't as bad as an acer predator I tried last year that is for sure but it's quite noticeable even with the brightness down at 37.

These photos never come out right but here

is that with a black image or with the monitor just switched on ? you have to test it with a black image
