I'm going to get back on to customer services at 16:00 if there isn't any movement. I don't mind the delay as much as not knowing WTF is going on. Mines reverted back to 24th March!

Cheers for posting picture, glad it working. have to say I can see fringing in the photo colour wise however might be the picture taken.

It could be to do with the lens than the monitor, known as chromatic aberration. You get it when a bight subject intersect with a darker one. That will show up as a purple fringing on the edges, because of the lens, not the LED display.

My delivery window now says by end of day where it was saying 0945-1345 previously. I bet the driver has been taking extended breaks!

Probably trying to dry the box.

For those that have been stuck as 'Confirmed' has there been any movement to 'In production' yet?

Nope, still confirmed, still saying delivery tomorrow and "Cancel" button still enabled

It's strapped to the roof hoping aerodynamics dries it out

Mines just arrived box is battered. It’s not come with a uk plug either. I’ve been sent just a European one. Ffs

Iron Man · 23 Mar 2022 at 12:15

Just opened this up and was extremely worried about the poor condition of the box but everything was well padded inside and had no problems with the display. It’s king of dusty though which is a surprise so will be taking a micro fibre and alcohol wipe to it later before I start my gaming on it!

UK plug should be included, my packing slip on the website shows a UK plug being included as an extra!

TNA · 23 Mar 2022 at 12:21

Maybe it is a good thing I am not getting the first batch of battered ones with no UK plug :cry:

To the guys who are receiving their monitors, tryout the LG 2020 HDR Demo Reel, It really shows how fantastic the reds and golds are on this thing.

Princey · 23 Mar 2022 at 12:23

Yes, the damaged boxes are concerning me.

Indeed, might have to hold of on going with scenario 1 option

Tbh I feel sorry for all drivers. They get a ma 3min window per delivery but if there are three houses on same street they are often put under a single 3min delivery window. They basically don't get breaks. My mate whom was Amazon driver lost 3 stone in as many months almost because zero breaks, no time for food and such. It pays reasonably well but is really hard work relative tbh. Think he was on about £34k a year with Amazon. But you miss those targets and you are screwed.

Now you're just taunting us :mad:

One thing i did notice that people don't often mention is that the stand is one solid bit of kit on this. Really easy to manage as well.
The arm for the monitor feels heavier than the monitor itself which is nice.

Just looking at my order slip for the full price one :/

Hopefully dell will be able to sort that out to if they can sort the price situation out.....

Whilst mine has shipped, it still hasn't left that stage and progressed to the in transit stage....

mrk · 23 Mar 2022 at 12:53

Are those the only two things on your packing slip?

Mine shows this:

Yeah, the stand for the 38" is really chunky - be interested to see how this compares since that also has the electronics for the light ring in it whereas this one has the lights in the back of the monitor itself.
