    ordered 4:50pm saturday 1 august. original delivery date was 11th august, and just got the delayed until 22nd october email

    pretty ridiculous the initial and updated expected delivery dates don't seem to correspond to the time of purchase

    i might contact Dell CS and inquire whether they can confirm delivery dates are basically a lottery regardless of when the purchase was made

    if they confirm it is delivery lotto, then i'll cancel immediately. if they can ensure i get mine before anyone who purchased on sunday, i might not cancel.

    its not so great a deal that its worth waiting seven times longer for than the original expected delivery time, which wasn't too bad

      I'd probably go right and and just cancel chief. The support crew will not be able to give you any answers that hold any accuracy.

    • badonde on 05/08/2020 - 22:22

      Hey, just chiming in on this as a previous Dell customer. It is a lottery and order date doesn't usually correspond with your "place in the queue"
      EG - ordered a laptop mid March. Arrived 5 weeks later after chasing up multiple times per week.

      The first "updated" arrives by date (which I believed was just placeholder) ended up being pretty much accurate for me within 3-4 days. But this is not always true, it's not usually accurate by any means.

      Those who ordered the same laptop several weeks after me received within one week.

      Google "Dell Delivery Woes Whirlpool" to learn more ;)

      Good luck!
      And don't feel too bad, I think this monitor will be normally around this price in the future with codes (once they have more stock!)

  • Faszkalap on 05/08/2020 - 22:14

    Ordered on sunday 5pm, just got the delay notification to arrive by 19/10. Meh, still a nice deal if the specs are as expected and I cannot justify to be pissed unless the 27GL850 will go sub $650 again or they will ask for proof for the uni code… Khmmm-khmmm… THOSE WHO ACTUALLY GOT THE MONITOR, can you please send it to a PC mag to get it reviewed? :D Lucky bastards…. I still wonder tho how many units were ordered… Cheers

        PayPal. It was in that pending payment clearance status for the first day so I wasn't hopeful but then I got the confirmation email and it went to in production and then another day later shipped. I often am too late for deals here so finally had a bit of luck.

    • Stoz on 06/08/2020 - 07:23

      They don't seem to be fulfilling them in order. I placed my order at 8:30pm on Saturday and got notified last night that my order had been delayed. Paid by Credit Card too so the payment was processed straight away. Perhaps it has something to do with proximity to where their stock was located? (You're in QLD according to your profile and I'm in regional Vic).

      • nroskam on 20/09/2020 - 11:01

        And AusPost has received it and expect delivery this Monday or Tuesday the latest, so 21/22 September… lucky enough better than the 30th of Sep and much better than the initial your order is delayed till late October… Still a proper two months of patience between order and delivery.

  • kronk on 05/08/2020 - 22:59

  • MoleManMike on 06/08/2020 - 00:00
    +4

    Yeah it's really unfortunate they they are essentially filling orders in a random way. Doesn't make a lot of sense really.

    I received confirmation on Saturday 01/08 at around 6:30pm and based on the comments here, the delivery estimates aren't based at all on when people placed their orders/received confirmation.
    Some estimates are early October when they were only ordered late Sunday and confirmed on Monday afternoon, whereas some people who ordered on Saturday have been given 22/10 ETAs?

    • Stoz on 06/08/2020 - 07:25

      My only suggestion is they might be filling orders based on where their stock is located.

  • HD9990 on 06/08/2020 - 00:08

    delayed to 19/10 as well. will probably cancel my orders. not a bad deal but the wait is just too much of a pain.

    guess this is a trick by Dell as they assume this ETA on OCT will get those who cant wait to cancel, so Dell won't order too much.

  • punkfans on 06/08/2020 - 00:33

    Lol, ordered 1am Sunday, ETA 19/10.

    Ordered just for WFH during this lockdown, now it's pointless. If there's better deal on 32", I will cancel it.

    • AyjeofSpades on 06/08/2020 - 11:12

      I expect there will be a lot of cancellations if a better deal appears between now and October.

  • pigdevil on 06/08/2020 - 00:35

    How do you actually cancel this order? I don't see any options on my purchase page and the Dell support page says:
    "After Production/Shipped Orders: Orders that have already started the production process or that have shipped cannot be cancelled. If the order is no longer needed you will need to request a Return."
    Do I need to call support to cancel?

    • perthite on 06/08/2020 - 01:30
      +1

      I believe you need to ask support and go from there. I cant see anything in the policy that allows for it without any charges.

  • perthite on 06/08/2020 - 01:30

    Anyone had issues with cancelling orders before?

  • UAT on 06/08/2020 - 08:39

    Dell website, this monitor is back on stock, RRP is $569.99. Dose that mean they sourced more stock. I am curious, if there is another promotion between now and then before 19/10, the price will be end up with cheaper then what we paid now.

    • doweyy on 06/08/2020 - 08:40

      Are you sure that's not the US site? The monitor definitely isn't available on the AU site anymore.

      • UAT on 06/08/2020 - 08:50

        Oh gosh,you are right, that is US site, although I didn't intend to access US site.

  • snvl on 06/08/2020 - 08:42

    do they charge now or when shipping?

    • bobdane1 on 06/08/2020 - 10:19

      My CC already got charged at time of order. But it's still under the pending tab.

      • netsurfer on 06/08/2020 - 12:02

        If it's pending, it could still be a pre-auth.

    • netsurfer on 06/08/2020 - 12:03

      Dell probably will charge soon. CSR previously indicated within 10 days of the purchase. I don't work for Dell so don't quote me.

  • Bargainendorphins on 06/08/2020 - 08:48

    I wonder how this will affect pending payments on PayPal, according to them the authorisation is only valid until 30 days after the initial hold after which they say the merchant will not be able to charge (according to PayPal CS who I contact earlier).

    In terms of cancellations and refunds, Dell CS said yesterday that refunds were available up until it's shipped.

    • Enixon on 06/08/2020 - 12:05
      +2

      What happens once the pre auth expires after 30 days?

    • netsurfer on 06/08/2020 - 12:08
      +2

      Dell normally would charge within 10 days. The up to 30 days for pre-auth is the same for credit card and PayPal. If they elected to charge payment after 30 days for credit card, that would imply Dell stored the CC info (that's how Amazon is able to charge later). Dell probably won't be able to do the same for PayPal.

      So, it kind of goes both ways. On the one hand, we prefer the merchant not to store CC details. On the other hand, in a situation like this, the preference would be for the merchant to charge once the item(s) are in stock, ready to despatch.

  • nagel on 06/08/2020 - 09:29

    20/10 ETA here. Will keep order for now and keep on checking for other deals until then! Been pretty tempting on the Xiaomi ultrawide, decisions decisions…

  • sena86 on 06/08/2020 - 11:17

    My understanding is that the ETA email you received was the latest time you'll receive it (I received the same email stating 19/10).

    As per my previous posts these were the shipment dates advised (with number of units per shipment):

    17/8 - 32 units
    28/8 - 176 units
    4/9 - 64 units
    18/9 - 64 units

    I just received confirmation from Dell that I'm on the 18/9 shipment to Australia with delivery to my address by 24/9.

      I would assume they are quoting worst case delivery times due to possible complications.

      Looks like a few people might cancel which will hopefully speed things up.

    • Yuri Lowell on 06/08/2020 - 11:42

      If enough people cancel maybe we can get our monitors by the end of the month.

  • sushimaster on 06/08/2020 - 12:30

    Just a short review on the monitor.

    Refresh rate wise it can deliver the 165hz no problem. The backglow on the penal is just blue not RGB.

    However, i think my unit has some light leakage / bleeding around the edges ( super minor). It also doesn't seem to be SUPER uniform.

    • Yuri Lowell on 06/08/2020 - 13:44

      It's a common issue with IPS and the panel this monitor uses seems to be particularly bad. The main complain with the LG 27GL850 is BLB and IPS glow.

      Do you see any interlacing at 60Hz? It looks like vertical lines on moving objects.

      • sushimaster on 06/08/2020 - 14:02
        +5

        Yeah this monitor has some back glow

        No interlacing that I could see, response time seems to be as expected or even better for an ips

        I'm guessing Dell didn't calibrate these

        EDIT: ive googled LG 27GL850 ips glow and i can tell you off the bat its not that bad

        • sushimaster on 06/08/2020 - 19:37

          Update, i thought i was going crazy so ive opened the other one that ive ordered. the colour looks different with them side by side, however. it seems like the backleak locations are mostly the same

  • TeeJay on 06/08/2020 - 12:34

    This is the email I got from support after my date changed to 19/10

    Order is currently in production and parts are being fulfilled.

    We are expecting the parts to be available by 17th August.

    I have informed production team to allocate parts on priority to have your order fulfilled asap.

      I have informed production team to allocate parts on priority to have your order fulfilled asap.

      I feel like a large majority have contacted support and been told this. So if they actually are prioritising like they've stated, it's kind of redundant doing it for everyone's orders haha.

    • Balljuice on 06/08/2020 - 13:36

      I emailed support who called me this morning and said they are doing everything they can to speed it up. Then they followed up with an email saying 19/10. What date did you place your order and how long did it take for this second email to come through?

      • TeeJay on 06/08/2020 - 13:56

        I placed it afternoon Saturday 1st. I actually haven't received my first email, let alone my second one

  • lolmanic on 06/08/2020 - 13:45

    Just to join in on the chorus, got the message yesterday for an Oct delivery. Luckily this was an upgrade, so I can put up with 60hz gaming for a while longer

  • jezza10 on 06/08/2020 - 13:56

    Emailed support yesterday and received a call today with follow up email to confirm what was talked about.

    The order is on part shortage hold and it will get fulfilled on 01/09/2020

    The current expected delivery date is on the (05/09/2020), the delivery date is a tentative date.

    I have already informed the internal team to prioritize your order as soon as it is fulfilled

    I request you to drop and email to me on 02/09/2020, so that i can talk with logistics to get the order delivered as soon as possible.

    Over call support rep said there were "15,000" monitors on back order and that they were receiving "2000-3000 monitors" around September but honestly that just sounded like they were talking BS as it doesn't match up with what other people are reporting here. Take it with a grain of salt.

      well just looking at the click throughs to the dell product listing from this ozb deal page there were 17,468 clicks soooo… maybe there is 15,000 on back order…? :)

      • jezza10 on 06/08/2020 - 14:10

        Maybe so, I tried to clarify on the details but they gave me some spiel about how a lot of orders are "bulk corporate orders" and that those are the main ones being delayed whilst our "consumer sales" are being prioritised. I highly doubt corporate are bulk buying "gaming monitors" but who knows.
        Guess we just got to be patient with this one!

        • netsurfer on 06/08/2020 - 14:26
          -1

          The issue is that the CSRs are not the fulfilment team. So they only have generic details.

          The 15,000 monitors are across all Dell monitors on back order I think. Likewise for 2000-3000 monitors. For example, I know work was ordering 4K monitors right before Covid-19. However, given those people needing the monitors are most likely working from home, no one really cares about getting them any time soon. So, prioritising consumer sales makes sense.

          208 units coming for August basically.

    It sucks if someone bought this as a part of a new PC build, but it's an upgrade/addition for me, and I've been using my 27" 1080p 60Hz monitor for years at this point, so a couple more months won't hurt.

    I'm both unsurprised and yet also shocked they sold so many of these. I'm perhaps more shocked they're going to fulfill them all.

      I'm the same boat lol. Been using a 27" 1080 60hz asus monitor with an r9 270x paired with an i5-4460 (been using this for 6 years).

      Upgrading to a 2070S paired with a 3800XT and this monitor. Should be a noticeable upgrade, so I'm sure I can wait a little longer.

      • tmr3 on 07/08/2020 - 00:46
        +1

        A 2070S is going to be a great pairing with this monitor! Unfortunately, it was realistically one or the other for me, so I'm going monitor first (after some arm twisting from this deal) and I'll upgrade my PC later down the road. It didn't really make a lot of sense upgrading my PC when I'm stuck using an old 1080p, 60 Hz monitor and my R9 290X powers most games just fine at this resolution.

        Thankfully, my R9 290X is just capable of running this thing at 1440p and 144 Hz using the single DisplayPort connection my Gigabyte card has. I'll definitely be taking advantage of FreeSync in a lot of games at this kind of resolution…

    Anyone have the S2721DGF and the S3220DGF they can compare? Like some others, I'm trying to work out if I should return the S3220DGF and wait for the S2721DGF.

    I set mine up today but it wouldn't power on. Am I doing something wrong? I plugged in the power cable and pressed the power button but nothing. Tried on a few different power outlets and even plugged in a different power cable, still nothing. Probably get it RMA'd

      Which button did you press when you say "power button"?

      • Major Major on 06/08/2020 - 21:36

        The power button on the bottom edge, right side. I've check both the quick start guide and the user manual. There are 4 buttons on the back right panel, and one power button on the bottom right edge. With my Xiaomi ultrawide, I didn't even need to press the power button and it powered up automatically. I've tried long pressing, and short pressing, neither worked.

      It should definitely just be powering up. Power cable in and it should turn on (with or without a detected source). Sounds DOA. Beyond the troubleshooting steps you've taken, there isn't much more you can do on your end. Refund might be better, as you probably won't get another monitor for at least 3~ months.

        Thanks mate, seems like this might be the case. What a shame, was planning to give a review in the comments section.

          Unlucky mate. Imagine getting it DOA after waiting 3 months..

        • MiscOzB on 06/08/2020 - 23:33

          Are you sure you're plugging it all the way in to the monitor?

          • Major Major on 07/08/2020 - 09:27

            @MiscOzB: Yep, set it up exactly like the Xiaomi ultrawide, not working still

            • BenK-Oz on 07/08/2020 - 09:32

              @Major Major: try use the power cable from the xiaomi

              • Major Major on 07/08/2020 - 10:17

                @BenK-Oz: Sure did, tried everything I could think of, surely the chances of DOA is extremely low so thinking it must be something I'm doing wrong but can't seem to figure it out

      I've been using mine for a week now with no issues. Can you see a light on the bottom right where the buttons are?

      • Major Major on 12/08/2020 - 22:07

        No lights at all, I checked every corner of the monitor. Did a small LED light come on when you plugged it in?

        • cassiopeia on 13/08/2020 - 08:54

          yep, as soon as I plug in the power cable… the light appears. the only thing I can recommend trying is to get a power cable that you 100% know works and try plugging it into the monitor

          • Dan_ on 13/08/2020 - 10:12

            @cassiopeia: That didn't happen for me. I had to press the power button (the little button on the bottom edge to the right with the LED).

            • cassiopeia on 13/08/2020 - 10:37

              @Dan_: oops yep, I definitely missed mentioning that step - thanks for that reminder. I haven't had the need to press that button since day 1, so it slipped my mind.

          • Major Major on 16/08/2020 - 18:41

            @cassiopeia: Thanks for your help everyone. I tried with a power cable I know for sure is working (the Xiaomi one) and pressed the power button and still nothing.
