Are these monitors good? Thinking of buying 3 of them?

Yeah I'm thinking about picking one up too but don't know how good it is or how it stacks up to this Samsung which is around the same price.

Anyone got any thoughts on them?

HI there

These are nearly all pre-sold, be quick as 80 pre-sold now!!!!

I cant seen to find a single review of this monitor... Difficult to buy without any idea if the quality is any good. Judging by the price it's a quality unit, but i guess that can be deceiving at times.

Any ideas on what these are like Gibbo? Wanting to use for photo editing.

Seems like a great deal, but not used to buying without reading a review...

5Ms to so good for gaming I assume? Do these also have built in HW cali?

Well it was an LG colour critical monitor design for what you want so in reality it should be an ideal choice, they will be sold out soon as they have now appeared on HOTUK DEALS and are flying.

Really wanting to order one of these but without any sort of review its a bit of a blind punt..

I've ordered one. I've had LG IPS panels previously and they have been great.

It is a premium display, previously mainly bought as a slightly cheaper alternative to the exorbitantly expensive Apple 27" Thunderbolt display (it has 2 Thunderbolt ports).

For photo editing it is ideal. You only have to look at competitors' pricing to see it is a genuine deal.

What about for games/movies & general usage? Thats pretty much all I do on the PC these days. Very tempted..

Adrianr · 27 Nov 2014 at 21:10

Is there something wrong with these or something? Do they not come with a panel?

Friss · 27 Nov 2014 at 21:51

Took a punt on it!

Yeah me too... price was just too good to pass up especially looking at the pricing for it elsewhere. I'm not sure if it'll be much help or not but I'll throw a review up when I get my hands on it

Friss · 27 Nov 2014 at 22:53

I will too, but everyone will have missed out on the deal then

lude1962 · 28 Nov 2014 at 09:15

mines ordered as well, lets hope they're not lemons in disguise.

Gibbo, are they premium class 0 panels ie no pixel defects?

Adrianr · 28 Nov 2014 at 12:53

Are Ocuk still able to fulfil preorders? Sounds like these things are shifting!

Exsurgo · 28 Nov 2014 at 13:00

^ I too am curious as to the above

They're now listed as out of stock, so presumably (hopefully) everyone that got an order in will get one

Bonjour · 28 Nov 2014 at 13:14

I was wondering the same. Initially they said only 100 available.
