I managed to get a 2nd order in for £899 so can't complain if it comes off

Looks like it should for now

and why the hell would I settle for the price I paid when that's a possibility.

Honestly for less than 1K it's an absolute steal for the monitor.

I'm kind of thinking I've not had such a good deal as mine was £1399. But still it's still a couple of hundred off. Sent my Aw3423dwf back today and I'm really excited about this arriving next week. I hope it's worth it.

You should cancel your order and order at the reduced price, unless you're flowing with excess cash and the difference is negligible to you.

Alternatively receive that order and bag another one at discount and then return the original order.

Not seen a product launch so crazy in pricing fluctuation.

They've stopped the OLED codes stacking now apparently

Did they go back in stock this evening?

When I tried in the am while they were in stock codes worked for me.

If anyone's interested, saw this pic of the sub-pixel layout on Reddit. Lookin good!

Turn off pixel shifting if you don't want to be annoyed by random text blurring on Windows though.

I'm not expecting the 899 one to be honoured tbh, just hoping the 1199 one is!

Also if you send one back due to 'unwanted' does anyone know if they pick it up or is it your responsibility to send it?

Thanks

They book the collection with dpd free of charge with a time that suits you.

I've got mine getting collected tomorrow at 9am I expect one of my cheaper orders to be fulfilled. Got myself a 1080p 165hz monitor for £100 to keep me covered for 10 days.

If the orders get cancelled I'll keep an eye out for anyone who didn't return and wants to get rid on ebay etc hopefully.

Could be a false alarm but one person that ordered a few days ago has reported their order has been canceled.

I just checked my order and the status has changed to preparing for dispatch

Think I just realised you were posting in hukd thread? enjoy your phone when you get it.

Very strange behaviour, mine @ £859.10 showing as "Preparing Dispatch" Arrives 13/04/23
The SDD still showing "Order Confirmed" Arrives 14/07/2023
Fingers crossed

Ignore those dates, the one I got delivered on launch date was giving me random dates until it was dispatched.

Yeah that was the display guys settings now it's out in the wild.

I didn't really feel it made a difference until I played the games with it on and off and also went back to sdr its a ridiculous difference in vibrancy and contrast.

I'm seeing one of my orders suggesting a delivery on the 7th, no random dates or changes. I'll see what happens with that order, as it was made 24 hours after my other one which still states the 17th as delivery due date.

Got my tablet the other day which may have pushed forward the monitor delivery on this particular order? No idea.

I don't know why their site is so broken though for this process.

I spoke too soon, just got an cancellation email from Samsung

Same x2

Personality+ · 5 Jul 2023 at 19:49

I got my tablet delivered but the email says that order is cancelled... on one of the two orders I made.. so not sure what they'll do there.

Yeah also got the tablet. They apparently do free returns so guess i need to arrange for that to go back, except the option to return it is greyed out.

Is that not them forming a contract I wonder? I don't know the legality of this situation.

Personality+ · 5 Jul 2023 at 20:14

Hutch said:
I just rang them to ask. The guy i spoke to said theres nothing on the order to indicate its being cancelled.

I did ask if them delivering the tablet means they accepted the order, which he agreed they have, but i doubt thats binding..

Fair enough, in my opinion as it states the same order no as they've cancelled they should honour it.

They didn't make a separate order no for the tablet... so they should fulfil the order. We shall see what unfolds in the coming days, but I'll be pursuing that angle myself.

Edit: just seen someone share on other site that they don't need to fulfil all parts of the order

Hutch said:
Yup, saw that too.

Well I don't think I want this thing enough to pay full price (or near full price)

I've returned mine today £1399.99 price I paid for it.

1199.99 if still available is a decent price for it, but I'm actually going to agree as it doesn't fit all use cases, great consumption monitor (via pc) not much else even the built in apps experience is poor.

JediFragger said:
****, both cancelled too Not sure I want it at £1399, other options out there for that much. Just sold my bloody Alienware too lol

Yeah got ahead of ourselves perhaps

Well I've got time to decide what I want to purchase again at least, need to wait for my refunds to come in for 3 orders now

Well that sucks. My £1199 order was cancelled too. I wonder if they would have gone through at that price if people hadn't taken the **** with the codes.

They let it work for too long, so news spread like wildfire, that's how these things go.

If it had stayed quiet some of us may have got some amazing deals

As soon as I saw it on the deals site that was bad news

Oh no! Let's hope they release the 57" by end of the month and get that

I'm actually really interested in the Asus version of this now as it have USB-C and a KVM but only 144hz which will be fine for me.

I would have felt the same but actually experiencing 240hz on the G9 is quite something, feel like it's not a limitation to performance to have a screen that big when it's so responsive.

Ugg, after 1 hour:

Defective model I never had that in the 10 days I had it.

At least their returns process seems really good and efficient and I got my refund within a day... for the cancelled orders.

Ok so opening up the on-screen display/menu got the lines to go away. Maybe some sort of firmware bug. Already submitted return request and will follow through as, going from 27" 4K to 1440p is just too much clarity loss. Otherwise it's a fantastic monitor and 240 Hz OLED motion clarity is the future for gaming.

gotta wait another year for 4K 240hz support or so go the rumours. Same monitors will double as a 1080p 480hz screen.. good times ahead.
