Does anyone know if these are using an improved 2nd-gen QD-OLED panel or the same tech as the OG 34?

Does the monitor have a standard vesa mount on the back? Can't seem to find that detail anywhere.

Because i ordered online they cannot provide a refund of the price difference they can only do so if you order via the phone.

Yeah that's ridiculous, I got told I had to cancel the order and order again so that's what I did.

Should have been an automated process for the earliest buyers imo. But a few probably won't realise they've overpaid, probably what they're hoping for.

This thing looks naughty but it's too big for me (that's what she said).

Was it still in stock when you ordered again?

Yeah luckily waiting to dispatch at the moment. Ordered just before 4pm yesterday.

Gah, just realised that i'm going to need to buy a KVM switch now to share USB devices between desktop and macbook

this might actually be a deal breaker for me, I can't remember what I used to do with my older G9 must have used bluetooth back then :S

Been lurking on this thread but am in a similar boat to others who ordered online. Through my employee discount page paid £1700. Tried through every possible angle to just get a refund on the price difference but no luck. Now going to have to refuse delivery of this when it arrives and wait for pre-orders to open back up.

Seems like such a waste! Wouldn't have minded if it was a hundred quid or so but seems insane to throw £350 down the drain when it hasn't even released!

Yep, going to cancel

I have a macbook air so only 2 USB-C ports, so hooking up to display and power will use both those up. So will end up needing a USB-C powered hub and a KVM switch.... that's too much faff.

Edit: Turns out the MSI and Asus versions of this both have USB-C with 90w PD

so they might be the ones for me.

I've been using a 38 inch dell which has a builtin KVM and usb-c hookup to my work laptop and it is excellent. I can't understand why a latest generation monitor doesn't have KVM & usb-c with PD. It's got to be that manufacturers think we either want a gaming screen OR a business one and not both so don't bother with the connectivity that is required for both use cases.

Yeah, it's a hard requirement for me. I swear I saw something that said it have USB-C or it would have been a no-go from the start... oh well, hopefully my cancelling will have allowed someone else to snag it

now I just need to see if I can wait for the MSI or Asus version to come out or if i'll folder and go wit the Philips I saw in OcUK B Grade.

Just been digging into the Asus spec and it only has HDMI 2.0 and 144Hz. The 144Hz doesn't bother me at all, but the 2.0 does.

Personality+ · 23 Jun 2023 at 21:15

Has anyone's order shipped yet?

Just in case I find out it's shipping Monday and not received Monday.

It wont come until monday, you will get notice on the sunday....

Fair enough, hopefully you're right. Just don't want to waste a day off work not to receive it.

I've got this wrong, the PG49WCD does have HDMI 2.1
