Pre-ordered the 32" model, cant wait!

Presume there is still no update on when it might arrive?

I can't believe Linus has ignored that G9 for 3 days now. Don't know how he could have gone home and not unpacked that.

Knowing him, he broke his foot unboxing it.

I think most people are expecting mid July

Still going to be a while for the rtings review of the G7 and G9. Shame.

So, people in the states are having their G9's shipped already....

Just contacted Overclockers on twitter. They are expecting stock for G9's next week.

Has anyone ran a curved and flat screen in a dual monitor setup before?

I fancy one of these but I wouldn’t want to drop my existing Dell 27”. I would run the curved screen directly in front of me and the flat screen as a secondary off to the side at an angle.

My life has now devolved into visiting OCUK every couple of hours, clicking the "my orders" page and hoping to see "Not Yet Shipped" has changed.

I switched to the 27", because I need dual monitors. I might do one vertical next to it. I want the G7 in the center of my desk.

I wish they had made a G8 at 34" 3440x1440. Would have been perfect. And the curve would have been useful.

Ah yes, I hadn’t thought of doing it vertical! That would save a lot of space.

My main concern is how thick the curved screen would be, I have my current screen pushed right back on my desk but I think the sides of the G7 would be much further forward creating a lot of dead space behind the secondary 27” screen.

Curve and stand (excessively pointy in rear) look to add a lot of depth. My current screen plane is like 8 cm from back edge of the table. Wouldn't want it much closer
Like I said before, will need to look at VESA mounts

Thinking about purchasing the G9 too in the future perhaps for my work setup. Be great to see what everyones opinions are once they start receiving them.

LOL mine isn;t as mine was a partial order part of which has shipped, it stats shipped and delivered, even though the monitor is on a back order bit, it might well be a complete surprise when it arrives.

See for me its the last piece in a £2500 puzzle that I'm waiting for lol

 

[Destination]

aye well I am similar in that regard, but i've all the other bits already shipped as a partial shipping, just awaiting the monitor to repalce my current one

Same....well that and the 3080ti when they release.

 

[Kaichu]

How much you reckon the 3080ti will be? £1400-ish?

 

[francky]

Yeah...£1200-1400 I'd imagine.

I did this for a couple of days and maybe it's because I'm not used to a curved screen but when looking at the flat screen after the curved the flat screen actually started to look curved outward lol.

I also got a lot of headaches and motion sickness but not sure if this was just because a new monitor, curving or a combo of the curve/non-curved screens.
