Hopefully Ocuk will get some in.

I've seen people on youtube + http://3dvision-blog.com/ that already have it. With plenty other people already managed to order one.

That's great, but that says nothing about UK retail availability which is expected in the middle of December as I keep saying. That includes when OcUK may get some in if you're lucky.

Some people aren't bound by only UK retailers.

No but this is a UK-based forum so I don't want people gaining false hope based on availability in Europe or extortionate prices from retailer backorders. Basically - the title of the thread itself leads people into here and then they go away disappointed.

In case anybody missed it. The BenQ XL2420T will be available in the UK for around £270 in mid December at the earliest. If you want to pay more to get one from Europe before then without any reviews being available then be my guest.

Yes because you speak for everyone now? Just because you aren't prepared to pay out or buy from other places in Europe, doesn't mean no-one else will. Not everyone waits for full length detailed reviews on everything they buy, for better or for worse.

Edit* Also just saying, not everyone who uses this forum is from the UK, nor obliged to be.

Well i think that more people like to know what there going to buy before parting cash ! and why would anyone want to pay more for something that will be available in there own counrty ( UK ) in 2 weeks time ?seems kind of odd to me ha ! Also i would say that the majority of people on this forum are British but i,m not saying people from other countries don,t read what it said i,m just saying what was said that THIS is a UK based Forum

Like I said, not everyone lives by the same rules. Also I'm not usually one to be a grammar Nazi but sweet Jesus. ' This is an Apostrophe, "," and this is a Comma.

Don't dig that hole too deep or you'll never get out. You seem to make a number of incorrect assumptions above. If I want to get hold of this monitor I won't pay a penny. If you knew anything about me or frequented this part of the forum more often you'd know that I have a very deep insight into the UK and international monitor markets and am privy to information not available to your average consumer. I can tell you bluntly that people in the UK are generally very unwilling to part with their cash when it comes to buying a PC monitor and value a quick, efficient and cost effective solution - that means a monitor from the UK which has received lots of positive feedback. None of this currently applies to the XL2420T and you are doing no a diservice by misleading OcUKs majority cohort. I might as well start a thread about the LG DX2500 - a 25 inch autostereoscopic monitor that is now available... for over £700... in South Korea.

Oh get off you're high horse, honestly. You can say my assumptions are false, but I can say the same to yours. All you're doing is generalizing the public. Come back when you have proof that 99% of the UK will never spend an extra penny to get something sooner.

Confirmed by Ace Modder, Ocuk should have them in stock this week.

NinetyOne · 6 Dec 2011 at 11:32

I only inquired about the T model, to which he confirmed. Not sure about the other.

NinetyOne · 6 Dec 2011 at 16:12

Need to hurry up and sell my current Syncmaster P2450. Otherwise I'm going to be using 3 different sized monitors!

NinetyOne · 9 Dec 2011 at 01:40

Any update Ocuk?

NinetyOne · 10 Dec 2011 at 18:28

No update on the "In stock this week" that I was told?

NinetyOne · 10 Dec 2011 at 22:17

shh don't jinx it.

NinetyOne · 11 Dec 2011 at 19:08

If they aren't in stock or at least up for preorder here soon at Ocuk, I will most likely buy elsewhere, as another well known retailer has it up for preorder.

NinetyOne · 12 Dec 2011 at 17:23

This guy has a bunch of new videos of the monitor with gameplay.

Yeah I'm a fan of that as well. What I'm not a fan of is the stand and the strange controller thing it comes with. So far from what I can see from a 720p camera, the picture looks decent for a TN panel. At least the colors look deeper than my current monitor.

Just got a reply back from Customer Services forum and they said they dont have a date yet for pre-order as they're waiting on suppliers. Dont want to admit it, but i think I might have to get this from the 'other' place

does this monitor have HDMI 1.4a (i.e for use with the ps3)?

You can use it with the ps3 no problem, but it won't benefit from the 3D or 120hz.
