It'll come with an external power supply if it's anything like the model linked above, works on all voltages, though you'll likely need an adaptor or to replace the power cable going to the external power supply.
The 32GP850 is available in the UK already for around £499, too, if 32 inch is still a consideration

thinking if I really need that high hz or if the gl will do or other alternatives like Gigabyte
let me get this right, the 27 and the 32 are or will be priced the same?
The one he and I were talking about is this one:

Has said, "Coming soon!" for a while now. Been in stock in the US for months, and the EU for over a month.

The 27" will be sharper, my only concern is how less sharp a 32" will be

Thank you!
Same PPI as 1080P at 24" (if you have one of them lying around to compare lol). Of course, you might sit back a little further from the 32" which would help.
I am learning there is a cost to everything.
32" has all the bells and whistles I want but is less sharp than a 27 and I am about 55cm from it. My arms don't reach the keyboard if I sit further back.
The 27 LG 27GL850 is a good price but old tech and also heard that the vesa mounting has too much of a curve on the casing to align a monitor arm fixing, so would need spacers and longer screws which is a botch job
The 27 LG 27GP850 is good and ticks the boxes but is unavailable in the UK and there will be a stampede getting one before everyone buys them up.
The Odyssey G7 looks good on paper but is a VA panel with its own issues.
The Asus VG27AQLA1 again looks good on paper but has a very aggressive anti ghosting, low contrast and IPS glow.
I can't believe there is not one thing that has what I want and is available

I've always gone for IPS, but I have just looked up the Samsung Odyssey G7 and it gets some good ratings.
I'll always sit dead on to my screen so no viewing angle concerns but I was expecting to find some things not
quite so good for a VA panel... From anyone that has one, do you like it? Would you recommend it or suggest staying with IPS?

Issue for work and non gaming is its heavy distortion inducing curvature:

That's basically worser distortion than the worst CRTs 25 years ago...
