            @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).

        Nice I gave it a watch and looks great as a gaming set up for consoles

        But I don't know if this set up is great for a Pc? He sits far away but I guess the stand at the back makes it hard to push back a bit

    For the people who are looking for a monitor with main spec including 27' 144/165Hz 2K IPS Panel, it seems there are only a few options right now in oz market

    Budget one would be ViewSonic VX2758-2kp-mhd, $465.
    27 144hz 2k, without HDR certified

    Mid range would be Acer VG272Up, same nanoips panel LM270WQA-SSA1 as LG27GL850 but $200 cheaper, HDR400, now $629 on umart.

    Another one is Y27Q-20 from Lenove, also LM270WQA-SSA1 but offically overclocked to 165hz, 102%DCI-P3, it can run 2K 165hz and 10 bit color HDR on same time when connect via DP1.4 cable, unlike ViewSonic one, who claims can do so but only 2K 144 on 8 bit, it's $641.5 on Amazon, the AMAZING fact is when you connect PS4, it will become 4K+12bit+60hz, which indicates it has a powerful drive and module even under the same panel with 27GL850 and VG272Up.

    The Most expensive one would be LG27GL850, it was $729 3 months ago and 669 last Chrismas but now it's $829 which is crazy, LM270WQA-SSA1 panel also but just 2K 144hz, in my opinion this monitor is overestimated and overpriced a lot now.
    Also some users compliant there are two issues on this one, 1st is 1ms GTG is based on overclocking of OD volt, which lead to a bad flare when FPSing, another is Contrast, it claims 1000:1 but in fact it's 800:1 when it was release 1.5 years ago. LG should figure it out now btw.

    • harro112 on 07/08/2020 - 10:52

      • xyl on 07/08/2020 - 11:16
        +1

        If you need to use the monitor at same time especially for gaming, my suggest is just grab another one same as your first monitor, yes I understand some people may prefer buying a second monitor which way better than their first one, but you will understand what I'm saying when you just walk across Officework or JBHIFI monitor row and shelf, it's really "colorful" even the monitors are playing same picture or video. As the panel the color the driver the module are much different brand by brand and color turning skill is much difficult for general users. So if you want to protect your eyes, just choose same one :P

        • harro112 on 07/08/2020 - 11:22

          my primary is an S2716DG…

          • xyl on 07/08/2020 - 11:39

            @harro112: It's an TN panel M270DTN01.5 released at least 4 years ago from AUO and this monitor is discontinued, I'd suggest you go one of the four monitor I mentioned above based on your budget. Also ASUS VG27AQ is another choice if your budget is above $700, AUO ips panel M270Q008 002 and 2k 165hz.

    • Frayin on 07/08/2020 - 12:27

    • MiscOzB on 07/08/2020 - 14:55

      The one that's $641 on Amazon is actually the Y27gq-20, which is the TN version. Can also be had for cheaper on ebay for $599 with a code right now. I was really tempted to pull the trigger on that until I learned it's TN.

      The only place I can even see the IPS one in stock in Aus is on the Lenovo site itself, where it's going for $989.

      I ordered one on Sunday via Paypal and found our my card on Paypal had expired so I contact support and provided my card details to be charged on Monday.
      My balance showed the money was unavailable but had not actually been taken yet, just checked and looks like the money is now available again so i guess they will charge me when they have stock and are ready to ship.

      I've heard two different versions from two different Dell CSRs.

      CSR #1: Dell will process the payment within 10 days.
      CSR #2: Dell will only process the payment when it is ready to dispatch your order.

      The original thinking was a PayPal pre-auth can only last 30 days, but it appears that a re-auth can be performed to extend it.

      • zaido on 07/08/2020 - 15:59

        I got the same response as to what CSR#2 said. She also mentioned that Dell has already approved the payment and will hold it until dispatch. I did clarify if there's a chance the payment will expire, she said if that happens they will contact me. I'll just check the payment status from time to time, been waiting for a good monitor replacement for my current one for 3 years

    18/9 - 64 units
    25/9 - 800 units

    Those are the dates Dell is expecting to receive more units. Deliveries will take place after those dates.

    • Frayin on 07/08/2020 - 15:12

      If i'm among those who will receive theirs from the batch of 800 (25/9), i hope the quality is no different.

        It wont be any less in quality if your thinking panels. That would be a expensive mistake from them if discovered to inferior panels with lower specs

          It won't be the first time Dell switched the panel maker for their monitors. However, it looks like LG and AUO panels are slightly different in dimensions so not easily switchable.

          Regardless of whether it is LG or AUO, with IPS panels, there is always a bit of lottery involved. Will Dell tolerate more dead pixels due to high volume? After all, Dell's dead pixel policy is bad to start with.

          • Yuri Lowell on 07/08/2020 - 15:49

            @netsurfer: My last 4 monitors have all had bright pixels so as long as they cover that it should be fine. I haven't seen a dead pixel on an out of box display in quite some time.

            • Sparky on 07/08/2020 - 15:55

              @Yuri Lowell: But less than 6 dark pixels are not covered!

            • netsurfer on 07/08/2020 - 16:10

              @Yuri Lowell: You are lucky. I returned 3 Dell monitors so far due to dead pixel related issues.

              LG's initial E-IPS panels' quality control was horrible and they had far too many dead pixels. The last one Dell sent me (AH-IPS), I had to use 14 days satisfaction warranty to return it. Dell support insisted that I pay for the return postage. There's no way I accept a $600+ monitor with dead pixels on day 1. Yet another LG panel.

              • sushimaster on 08/08/2020 - 12:08

                @netsurfer: I think they would RMA it, ive got mine with the first batch and the colour was off compare with the same monitor so the guy offer a swap but im currently waiting on them giving me an ETA

                • netsurfer on 08/08/2020 - 18:01

                  @sushimaster: Colour was off is a different matter. They definitely should give you a replacement. First Dell E-IPS monitor I returned had a cluster of brighter pixels in the lower middle, it was really bad, that issue was worse than the bad pixels. The shocker was the replacement one was just as bad, with a cluster of dead pixels (10+).

                  It's disappointing to hear the QA on these are not so good either.

  • trevor99 on 07/08/2020 - 22:02

    Due to the delay if there was something comparable I'd cancel and switch, but anything decent around this price seems to be VA.

    I'd recommend VA for your TV, but not for a monitor. I have one and it feels like someone's shining a torch in your face after a while. Eye fatigue if I try to use it all day.

  • Yuri Lowell on 07/08/2020 - 22:41

    This is somewhat specific, but if anyone was lucky enough to get this monitor early and has an Xbox One S or X, could you check if the monitor is able to support 120Hz at 1440p?

    • Morkai on 08/08/2020 - 15:54
      +4

      Doesn't really matter for those consoles, neither of them will push frame rates that high to hit the refresh rate.

      • Yuri Lowell on 08/08/2020 - 21:34
        +1

        I know, but it could be an indication that the monitor is capable of doing 120Hz over HDMI with the Series X. As far as I'm aware many 1440p monitors don't support 120Hz on Xbox despite being capable of it when connected to a PC via HDMI.

    • netsurfer on 08/08/2020 - 19:22

      Which XB1X games support native 1440p@120Hz? Quite a lot of games are 4K downsampled to 1440p. Freesync test would be more useful.

        You don't have to be playing games at 120fps to reap the benefits of 120Hz.

    Just checking if anyone else is seeing the same thing.

    My bank no longer shows the transaction and its still there on paypal but not pending anymore. I'm a little confused as to what has happened.

    • netsurfer on 08/08/2020 - 19:29
      +2

      Dell did a pre-auth. In PayPal, it should still be showing the transaction as a pre-auth. The credit card pre-auth probably expired after 7 days. The intention of the pre-auth was a temporary hold so you don't overspend on your credit card. However, in this case, most people's PayPal pre-auth will likely need to go over 30 days. It's unclear whether PayPal allows this (without customer's approval - i.e. whether a re-auth can be performed by an merchant without customer to approve it again).

      Most Dell CSRs indicate Dell will actually charge you when they have your unit in stock and ready to send it out (kind of like Amazon).

      • theartofthedeal on 08/08/2020 - 19:31

        Seems kind of weird to do (the return of funds). What happens when they try to charge the card again and someone doesn't have the required funds in their account?

        • netsurfer on 08/08/2020 - 19:32
          +1

          The transaction will fail so Dell will allocate the monitor to someone else (I was only kidding there). Dell will contact you and ask you for an alternative payment method I reckon.

      • Arcticfox on 09/08/2020 - 10:04

        This is highly annoying as paypal is linked to my regular transaction account - meaning I put the amount for the monitor in there during the day of purchase, but do not want it to have to stay there for up to 30 days while Dell does its thing.

        Can I just transfer the amount to my paypal account and it will draw from there in the first instance when Dell try and take the funds again?

        • Arcticfox on 12/08/2020 - 08:48

          NVM… funds came out again 2 days later like everyone else below. Sweet.

    • netsurfer on 08/08/2020 - 19:44

      Correction: It's likely Dell has charged the amount. Your bank has yet to reflect that in the statement. One CSR I spoke to did indicate Dell would charge within 10 days. It kind of makes sense as the general consensus is that you cannot pre-auth a PayPal payment over 30 days. A re-auth is possible to extend it, but a re-auth without customer approval seems a bit strange.

      Need to wait till next week to figure out what exactly is happening.

    • neoo on 08/08/2020 - 21:41

      My experience was also weird… I placed first order on 02/08 morning and immediately received the PayPal Receipt email. Then ECU came you know and I placed the second one. However, I couldn’t see any charge of first order in either PayPal or bank till now…

      The second order was charged and transaction was showing in PayPal and bank. The pre-auth status goes away today in PayPal but bank still shows pending.

      Btw, do you guys choose drop off or pick up for order return?

BTW, I placed that order on 2/8 Sunday late night by CC at $507, good deal desire to wait…and for the people who worried about the transaction in credit account is abnormal like no pending or disappear, don’t worry Dell will charge you definitely lol

        The email that I got said the next shipment is in September (no date, no unit numbers) and my delivery date is some time in October (no date)

    How come there are no reviews for this monitor anywhere? Maybe I'm not looking hard enough so if someone can link one that'd be great.

    Just got a new email updating me on my order… Orders coming in end of August and my ETA got moved up from October to 9th of September? I hope I actually get it though but now I just highly doubt it.

    In case anyone missed this option like me. Check your S2721DGF order and consider enabling Receive Text Notifications.

    We'll notify you with updates to your order status. No marketing texts will be sent. For more info, read terms and conditions.

    Today I missed a delivery for a different Dell monitor. I did not receive an email or text message indicating the item had shipped.

    Dell just took payment for both my monitors. They has previously had pre-auth for the money and it then re-appeared in my account and is now fully charged against my card.

    Wondering if they have taken payment as some are saying they wont charge until they ship the items.

    Both monitors show ETA of 19/10 when I track my order.

      Yep, they've also taken my money today (was in pending yesterday) and I got an email from Dell CC saying the order still had an ETA of 19/10. They also mentioned they were doing everything to get it to me sooner…XD

          Payment went from pending to confirmed today too, Cbank

            @kronk: I payed with PayPal. Money was taken from acc, then put back in the other day, now today money has been taken out again. Was hoping that means we get our screens soon. I don’t u der stand the need for all the withdrawing and depositing

            • knight321 on 11/08/2020 - 20:53

              @Roastyleg: My cc was also charged however I just received an update from customer service that 'our fulfilment team & vendors have instructed stocks are anticipated by October and no earlier than that.' :(

    My credit card has been charged yesterday, called the CS today, and have been told the card will be charged to hold the order, either to cancel the order to get the refund, or to wait 2 months to get the monitor.And they don't have any details of the shipment apart from what has indicated on order.I am not happy with the dell CS, was expecting dell CS is better though.

      What they hell did you expect? Its basic business practice

        I have been told by CC last week, the cc will be charged when the goods shipped out, but turns out I have to wait for 2-3 months to get the monitor. I am expecting the order status becomes shipped when the cc get charged. Now this is not what I have been told and expected.

          Nothing to do with your CC, they don't control that. It's normal across all industry it's either gets charged fully or gets put on hold, either way it means that the funds are spoken for and can't be used unless you issue a refund. Absolutely nothing new, your expectations were pretty wrong

      • snvl on 11/08/2020 - 19:14

        Many charge only just before shipping.

        • DoesntEvenMatter on 11/08/2020 - 19:25

          Unlikely, they would hold the funds if they didn't straight out charge

    • nagel on 11/08/2020 - 22:50

      I paid through paypal with a linked credit card. It no longer shows up as pending on my CC. Transaction is gone and I have 507 extra on my CC allowance as I paid it off straight away when I made the purchase.

      Its still showing up as a transaction in PayPal though.

        Same for me
