@Gibbo Hi Gibbo, has there been any update from AOC on expected delivery seeing as we are now in "early Christmas" Thanks

You can tell it's early Christmas when the smilies update

Yes @Gibbo is stock still landing tomorrow ?

Dempsey22 · 5 Dec 2017 at 19:06

@Gibbo Any sign of them being due this week ?

Ian Cooper · 5 Dec 2017 at 22:21

Also waiting on an answer on this, haven't ordered yet but mostly because there doesn't seem to be a guarantee anywhere on these things arriving this side of xmas. Are the first 500 already ordered?

Thanks!

When Gibbo posted about the 500 going to them, he said 200 had been pre ordered at the time.

Sennhoven · 6 Dec 2017 at 08:57

Hmm...I was really hoping to get this before Christmas but I may just cancel my pre order and order another 27 inch qhd panel if I can get it in time for Christmas. Really hope overclockers can give us a bit of information on this!

guess that's a no then

Indigo · 6 Dec 2017 at 11:45

I'm sure @Gibbo will reply once he knows when the stock is arriving and ready for dispatch. He has already mentioned that AOC were having logistical issues and OCUK would be getting the first batch early December. Early December for myself being the first two weeks.

Have ordered one myself so hopefully it arrives before Xmas but for a good deal I'm happy waiting.

Dempsey22 · 6 Dec 2017 at 17:28

I found a mount adapter that fits this monitor that allows VESA. Looks good so may be a purchase once I know situation with stock is. Ideally wanted it for Xmas.

You could also build one for cheap there are video on youtube on how to do it for 5 dollars

Will look into that, I did watch 1 guide and it involved taking monitor apart which I want to avoid.

I'll trust you the link.

Edit : your trust isn't sent up at all. Can't post link here as its a competitor.

.
I think its within the rule as it doesn't link to any competitor.

Definitely going for this method. Already found some 80mm u bolts

Up until now I always thought the only method was to drill four holes into the back of the monitor

Yes this is really smart, the bottom of the feet is going to be visible but it still beats paying 30 quid for a kit that does the same.

About the VESA mount adapters, I'll quote my previous post:

chithanh said:
There exist VESA mount adapters which claim to be compatible with the Q3279VWF, made by HumanCentric.

That should be enough information for anyone with basic Google skills.
3D printing I would not recommend, the stress on the material is quite high.

On the topic of availability, following Switzerland and the Netherlands in late November, the monitor has started selling in Norway and Denmark this week, but apparently not yet in the UK. One OcUK competitor which shall not be named has changed the availability date from 06/12/2017 to 13/12/2017 (that would be the "early December" shipment), while another still says 20/12/2017 (I guess that is "late December").

kaiserc · 7 Dec 2017 at 15:14

@Gibbo any more news on when these are arriving ??

EViLHomer48 · 7 Dec 2017 at 18:40

@Gibbo - ditto
