Thanks @COYS it certainly seems a great price for that panel.

I think it's a cracking deal and have been hovering over the buy button for a few days!

Mine has finally shipped today, ordered 3rd Sept, says 24th Sept delivery. Hoping comments above will mean it's earlier than that.

yeah mine has also shipped today

I got the display today.
I had Lenovo Legion Y27Q-20 (which uses the same panel I think), but this one blows me away in terms of build quality. no dead pixels or stuck pixels, and the ips glow is so much better than Lenovo's.
Very happy with it.

How long is Dell taking to deliver these, and how long is the window for returns with them?

I have a particularly shallow desk so my S2716DG sits about 75cm away, not sure if too close for 32"


Did you upgrade from an older monitor? I'm thinking of going from 27" 1440p 144hz TN to this, how is the monitor?

I was previously using a 32" tv so 1080 60hz and it's obviously a massive difference. I sit about 75 cm away but I'm an old guy with not very good eyesight.

I have windows display set to 125% and text magnified a little with the slider level with the right hand side of the apply button.

Edit to say : I ordered via the rainforest so got free delivery and 1.5% cashback paying via their card

Pulled the trigger on this. Expected ship date is 29/09, hoping like last poster it’s much earlier.

Hoping to pair this up with new 3000 card

Please post back when you get it as I'd be interested in likely turnaround before I order.

Unlike most, I would prefer a week or two for delivery!

Thanks

Does anyone have a student discount code they won't be using?

 

[Koogle]

Dell supposedly have 'run' out of virtual generated student discount vouchers.. the grimey btards

 

[Koogle]

It's still in the box as I need to do a proper tidy up of my desk first over weekend lol.

I will post back once I have used it.

I've decided to order one of these as I feel the stock levels will be diminishing due to the decent price and discounts available.

Hoping the panel lottery is kind to me.

Does anyone know when the sale ends. It shows all deals ending this Sunday (13th), but when you add it to the basket and click 'more details' below the 20% off, it says 5th October.... Hopefully it is the latter!
