Does anyone know if OCUK have the A04 revision? OCUK price isn;t the best but might trade that off if they have the latest revision.

Not from OcUK but I got mine from a competitor for £100 less which was an A04 revision. OOS on their site now though.

Got mine today. It's a thing of beauty! A04 revision.

southernorth · 2 Mar 2017 at 18:05

What are the main differences between revisions? Are the monitors using different panels now or?

Please Dell create an IPS version of this monitor.

Heard the A04's are not as good as A03's? Lots of banding issues?

maddog · 4 Mar 2017 at 13:02

I got an a04 revision yesterday, manufacture date November 2016.
how can i check for colour banding? Is there a program or something?

Don't look for it, use it normally and see if you notice anything. I have a dead pixel on mine, never notice it. Have to lean close to see it. Maybe I need glasses

.

Can't believe I paid £400 for this monitor when I bought it. Without the dead pixel I could prob sell it for a profit

Prices are silly. I struggled to get mine for £499,ocuk have it on offer for £569 I think

I remember when these where on offer around £430.. but then the ££ was worth around 1.54$ now its like 1.23$

Can't get the monitor out of sleep, windows 10 turned it off and nothing will bring it back on.
even powering off at plug it goes straight back into sleep.
any ideas please.

Remove all leads including power for 2-3 minutes then start it up with nothing else connected or connected to a different device if possible and see if you can disable deep sleep (under others option at the bottom) in the OSD before connecting a source (you might need to keep pressing the OSD button closest to the power LED on starting it up to bring it out of sleep mode).

EDIT: Hopefully that wakes it up again - you might find you need to change which DP connection on the GPU or even the lead if it continues to happen after disabling deep sleep.

thanks mate.
ok now
turned off deep sleep,hopefully be ok now.

Rroff · 4 Mar 2017 at 18:28

From a quick google doesn't seem like the monitor likes sleep mode in Windows 10 much - there are 1-2 options in the OS people suggest turning off to make it work better.

andy_mk3 · 4 Mar 2017 at 18:28

I turned off deep sleep too, it was problematic.

Prices weren't going to go down after Brexit. There was a popular belief amongst brexiters that was going like that: "if the pound goes down, prices should go down too, right?" Well, I'll always remember that one!

received my dell monitor yesterday and this is my 2nd one..to me out of the box the colour settings were excellent and I haven't finetuned anything on it whereas on the previous one I had to do some tweaking..must check to see what revision it is. But overall extremely happy with it..Battlefield 1 looks amazing with g sync
