Is this available in black from OcUK? Or what is the model number for the back version? There are images of it around (see below) but can't seem to find it in all black. I would much prefer it in black.

Afaik, the black version seems to be mostly available in the US, I havent seen a Black version on sale here.

Well that's a shame. I'm really not sure how a silver LCD would look. Hmm. What to do, what to do.

Hi there

We ask BenQ for the black versions when we were doing them over a year ago, we asked them again recently and unfortunately its a NO. Black is for US market only and at the moment they do not have intentions to change this unfortunately.

tell 'em they are being racist

they will scratch their heads, get slightly worried and send you all the black ones you could want

Convince them.

Cheers for the info. This monitor has everything I'm after, it's just the colour holding me off ordering.

If anyone has any photos they could post i'd be very grateful. Would like to see it in a 'normal' environment rather than the photos they use on review sites.

Not OcUK's fault, but it is just ridiculous, and meant that I did not buy this monitor when I was shopping a while back. Someone at BenQ is a bonehead.

Well, something should be done! It's pretty much the deciding factor now considering the that the screen itself is so good. Hmm...
