They have a live chat system, which I used to return order but

I used this number to eventually get through to the right support 0333 000 0333 when cancelling an order. Hopefully the same for changing delivery.

You can change it when it gets picked up by DPD via the DPD app

Yeah if it's already dispatched, but his order is due Thursday (not sure if sent out yet)

So he can technically change it directly with Samsung to get it sent out today for a pre 10:30am or whatever time he wants delivery tomorrow.

All those order cancellations freed up thousands of monitors that were not cancelled to get earlier delivery slots.

Got my replacement monitor in for £1240

a £160 pound saving for the hassle of sending the original order back and ordering a new one :)

fully calibrated and it seems some issues I was having on the original aren't occurring (youtube flickering) and what not but I'll see if it stays that way.
 
TBH I have a Samsung Odyssey Neo G5 49" ultrawide sat in front of me at the moment which I bought unseen & purely on reviews as nowhere stocked them where I could look at them before buying. I will not be buying another one as general image quality is much better on the much cheaper older Samsung 2160p 60Hz 28" panels that I replaced with the G5. The G5 is great for games though but I have a 50/50 split of gaming & using the machine for more mundane tasks. Doesn't matter how much I mess around with the settings both hardware based within the monitor controls or within Windows/Nvidia's driver control panel, text looks constantly "soft" & fuzzy even after numerous hours spent trying to get it crisper. Same issues regardless of if ClearType is on/off & tuned. I am tempted to mount 1 or 2 of the old panels above the G5 purely for use with non-gaming tasks, but after what the G5 cost, I shouldn't really have to.
 
Text on this 2nd panel hasn't been an issue for me, I think it was some issue with image scaling that I managed to sort out in the settings, but as I didn't have the issue until I got G9 assumed it was the monitor.

Now I'd be happy to recommend this monitor for more mundane tasks as well, if you can avoid a fully white background.

Image scaling is set to 100% on the G5 (as it's 5120x1440 it doesn't need zooming in to 125% & zooming out doesn't help either as tried 75 & 50%). The 28" were set to 125% & retained perfectly crisp text all the way up to 175%, but I do think the higher horizontal resolution helps a lot as well. Even went as far as trying al the different fonts & sizes in web browsers to no avail. Maybe my eyes got used to the 28" text display & the G5 is perfectly fine and I am expecting too much from it. Text in games seems fine though which is what baffles me as run games at the native resolution without DLSS or DLAA so if their is a real issue it is with Windows (BIOS is stretched across the full width of the screen unless set it to PBP mode but isn't "pin sharp" even then still)

I had this issue

Make sure you have GeForce Experience first and update drivers.Go to Windows Display Setting>Nvidia Control panel>Adjust Desktop Size>Scaling Tab>Scaling Mode:
select "No Scaling" or "Full-Screen" (I selected No Scaling). Perform Scaling on: select "GPU", select "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs">Size Tab: Resize the desktop...
: select "Enable desktop resizing", select "Do not report"It is only after this that my computer display/graphics were back to normal and I was able to open applications without fear that my text would go jagged/pixilated.

So if anyone here experiences the jagged/pixelated text, it may have automatically turned some of this stuff on.
