Hi All,

just to clarify, I am not sure where the date of the 23rd came from.

we are shipping the stocks into distie this week - and as soon as they land they will be turned around and sent to OCUK.

once I have the booking date within distie I can share it so you can have a better idea of the ETA into your homes :)

thanks

I’m in the process of cancelling my preorder now. I’ve waited for ages for a good monitor so waiting a few more weeks till the price starts to drop won’t hurt.

In UK supply vs demand is well and truly alive. I wouldn’t expect to see any discounts based on preliminary shipping numbers. This may change once 2019 gets underway. That said I plan to cancel. Too much uncertainty although I thank Daniel from LG for at least having the courtesy to update us, pity OCUK reps couldn’t show a bit more customer service. I see Gibbo promoting loads of Black Friday stuff recently but nothing from him or anyone else when they’ve had everyone’s money for 3 weeks.
 
yep. i know this monitor has the worst release ever

but unfortunately here is the only place to purchase it from for the next 2 months at least. and then youll be paying the same price from different stores much later
 
I'm in market for an ultrawide display, and I've narrowed my choice down to Dell AW3418DW, LG 31GK950G or Acer X34P.

LG is the most attractive option, but I'm worried about how the wide colour gamut affects photo editing. It's only on hobby level, so not serious and no printing, but still it would be nice to know if it's a problem editing photos in Lightroom or Capture One and uploading them online. Would I be better off looking at the alternatives in my case?
 
I'm a bit concerned with that as well, am in a similar situation to you. Have been tempted to go for the F instead, but really don't want to sacrifice gsync and latency.

If you can wait until the pre-orders have been shipped, I can upload side by side comparisons with a U2711.

I have no experience on wide gamut displays so take this with a grain of salt:

As long as you are not doing prints, you can manage. And if it's not commercial.
Preferably you might have to do some double-checking on some other device, say, smart phone or another display to see how your works behave, but as long as you're not doing prints or doing design for a full-time time job, it's just a question of working around different kinds of devices.

What I'm saying is that yes, having no sRGB is a problem but as long as if you're on a hobby level and have access to different monitors / displays, i wouldn't worry about it too much.

When I was studying graphic design and layout work, I used a TN panel for Photoshop for several years. Don't ask... :D But I still got good grades.
