I ended up going for the Gigabyte M28U. I only intend to use it for my PS5 so although not as good as the LG monitor it will be a good upgrade to my current 4k monitor. Will probably put the savings made by to put towards new PC parts.

So far crickets. I've been keeping an eye on OC and Currys pages daily, but nothing. According to some, supposedly Europe doesn't have stock issues. Go figure.
After the crazy demand for 27GN950 the succesor replacement SKU is now up for general sale.
We have been told that availability for these will be better than the 27GN950 but not initially.
We have 95 units coming in at the end of April. Half of these have already been pre-ordered by people who had pre-orders on the 27GN950 whom I gave early notice they could switch.
I'll try and stop any orders being taken once we reach this initial allocation. I'll also email everyone who has an order which may fall outside of the initial allocation to let them know their wait may be longer.
Again from LG an astounding monitor which is only available at Overclockers UK and 1 other retailer in the UK.

ORDER NOW
Hello,
when i placed my order for this exact monitor, i got charged £799.99. But you are stating its £749.99. Please can you tell me why i got charged extra?
Thank you in advance.
That post is from the 25th March. The price has risen since then.
Still Mid-July
will you just be clearing preorders or will they be going up for general sale as well? Been looking for this or the GN version for almost a year now :-/
Still just clearing pre-orders. No information on supply increasing yet.
You don't, my software picked up the screen and I don't have the USB connected at all.
Maybe this is a HDMIvsDP thing?

You do if you want to control the lights and also if you ever want to update the display firmware.
The video settings work with just the display cable.
I guess (hopefully) that is next week? Can't wait to get my hands on one, been wanting this monitor since earlier this year.
Hopefully there is enough stock for everyone who ordered on 21st June.

The older 27GN950 just got a new firmware update that includes a option to turn of the deep sleep mode. Anyone here with USB connected want to chack if an update is released for this monitor?
I would myself but currently bug checking a black screen issue and I do not have the software or USB connected.

I don't think so, this is what I currently see:
Thanks I expected we will see the update soon.

I can’t even download the software etc from the LG website, I select the appropriate link and it keeps coming up with a error, I’ve tried numerous web browsers but still the same, so even if I wanted to delete the LG ultragear and osd software just to start afresh I can’t seam to redownload the software again from the official website.
I only use the dp connection for both of my LG monitors as the hdmi ports are occupied with my ps5 and series x devices.
maybe I have to connect my external disc drive to use the LG disc that came with the monitor ?

Both links worked for me, downloaded as a zip file for each.
What are these for the monitor software? useful once I get my monitor.

Seems like something on your end is blocking the connection.
Virus software etc maybe try another browser.

I’ve tried edge,chrome and Firefox, will have to turn one of the windows security settings to let it through,
Probably the virus protection?
