Had mine for 13 days now, paid £745 from RS but perfectly timed to get my RS price beat in for the BF prices

Cause i'm impatient and don't want to wait for delivery....Will it fit on the backseats of a Honda Accord boxed?

It's really not very big, would easily fit in most small hatchbacks I imagine

Pretty much, though any bigger it wouldn't have fitted mine

Couldn't resist one of these at 699, I was tempted when they released for nearly double so glad I waited

And yet another one folds and succumbs into joining the OLED cult

I'm interested to know if you all have got the WBE panel, and not the older WBC? - First thing I will be checking when mine arives Wednesday.

Is there a way to check without the service remote please?

Unless you have a Spectroradiometer, service remote is the only other way I know of. My C1 48" has a WBE panel.

Edit, Ignore. Wrong info.

Really tempted by this just worried it might be too damn big. Desk depth of 65cm.

Try it, if too big, return it. Simples

I have a 48" C1 wall mounted with a desk depth of 52cm. The 42" C2 is going to feel small to me when that comes and takes it's place.

Just realised RS offer is in store only. Annoying.

Get one delivered by JL. or costco. They have just gone £10 cheaper, now £689.

Finally ordered! Should really have been looking at replacing my 1080Ti first but there's nothing gaming wise coming out (maybe bar The Calisto Protocol) that tickles my fancy. Though 700 quid I feel was more justifiable than the crazy GPU prices these days or gambling on the secondhand market for a card mined to death. Plus while it won't be an upgrade on my frames it will be an upgrade for my eyes!

Curious to see how the SDR image quality is compared to my 6 year old B6 that is still going strong.

I contacted telesales as I couldn't access my account and they did it for the VIP price. Edit: Just noticed actually that the screenshot I sent them at around lunchtime did have 'Buy online/In-Store/Telesales' in the availability section. Guess stocks are getting low then.

Yup

also another option with Colourcontrol app

Obviously access this with 100% caution, any wrong settings could brick it which is why I still prefer taking pics of all settings and using the service remote with instop button removed.
