Dell (or rather one of their CSAs) told me a couple days back you won't be able to get an S2721 until February (from them).
The LG appears sold out everywhere. I expect if it comes back in stock it will be after the deals have ended
Got fed up waiting and got the Omen 27i pretty much the same as the LG and the Dell... Its available and cheaper than either of these with discount, anything is better than this 24" TN monitor I'm stuck with atm
I've got 3 weeks off over Xmas I would like to do same gaming lol
Soldato
Mine arrived today. Probably wont get to unbox it till the weekend though. Will report back.
According to LG they are identical except the GN lacks a USB hub.
27GL850-B vs 27GN850-B : Monitors (reddit.com)
Ah okay, didn't know. Tons of rumours online as to what the differences were, thanks mate.
Just thought I would say that this monitor does not work properly with the Xbox series X. (Will only connect at 60Hz 1440p) I just returned one a couple days back. In fact, it looks like a few of the 144Hz monitors are suffering the same issue, but the new Dell S2721DGFA 165Hz does appear to correctly negotiate a 120Hz link. (it also uses the same panel as the 850) Also, the new Samsung G7’s work correctly, but obviously a bit more pricey.. (Although, I just now bought a 32” one for £499 in the BFS and you can also get the 27” for £429)

They were only in stock for one day and sold out
Same as the omen 27i they were only in stock for 2 days... All the monitors with these LG panels in that go on sale seem to sell out fast, only places with stock of any are charging too much.

Ordered mine on 24th November when it said ETA 27th. Not shipped yet and the ETA is now 2nd Dcember and i sent a note into CS asking about ETA they said they currently have no stock or any idea when new stock will come in so i dont think the 2nd December is accurate. Hopefully it comes before Christmas at least!
Ordering anything right now is a **** nightmare.

Been using mine for a while now paired with the Asus 3070 gpu.
In general happy with it although I can't get a happy colour on it. I am pretty useless twiddling the RGB values, I just end up making it look worse.
Plays games nicely though.
Only pain is the windows bug with DP connection, I have my old Benq as second monitor and when PC goes into screen saver mode all the open apps move from the second monitor to the main.

Go here and grab an ICC Profile for the monitor. https://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm

I think I am being stupid here.
I download the two profiles on TFTCentral before, a default one and a user one.
However adding those to the "Colour Management" under adapter dialog appears to do absolutely nothing to the display.
The TFTCentral one does not appear in ICC profiles list, the user one does. I set user one as default (have to use Advanced tab - "Change system default..." button to enable.
I can also see both profiles under the Advanced tab in first dropdown labelled Device profile, again choosing any of the items though does not appear to change anything visibly.
The only way I can change settings is the OCD for monitor and trying the numbers that are shown in the other columns on TFTCentral.
It does confuse me why I see no difference. Any tips appreciated!
