New Dell IPS S2721DGF 165hz gaming monitor

To get a 10% discount due to the delay you have to ring customer care, ask why it has been delayed and they should tell you whats causing the delay or open a case to investigate. Once you get all the info ask if you can get a discount/compensation. That's how I got mine.
It's a huge delay but worth it for the discounted price if you can wait. Also if there are any major bargains over the Christmas period from other places then I'll just cancel this one.

Is IPS glow/backlight bleeding a serious thing on a IPS and can be seen during normal usage? I am currently on TN and cant really notice any problems with that and its the only reason why I am scared of getting an IPS monitor. I am using a PC 90% of the times in well-lit room and heard that it reduces the effects of ips glow.

At least you have a date my order looks like this

Yeah, me too! Well, not any more, just cancelled. Can't be arsed to play the game. Ordered an LG from the Indian place instead.
My laptop and TV are IPS, on my TV I never see it. On the 14" laptop I can only see it on windows boot with the bright logo in the centre and the rest of the screen dark.(or not dark the corners glow)
I don't game on my laptop but do watch video and have not noticed IPS glow even in a dimly lit room. Like all monitors there is a bit of luck involved with panel quality but I think for me personally IPS glow would have to be very bad before it was a problem.

Just went to order one and the estimated ship date is 27/01/2021. Gutted cos i get a staff discount but can't wait that long!
Rethinking this, the possible brexit shipping delays in January make it a bad order even at £250.
The only good thing is it looks like the money is just held at the bank until the production stage is reached so you get a refund a few hours after cancelling.

Just cancelled the second order (delayed until 25/01/21). Have sent Dell CS the corporate email they sent me regarding the initial order placed 5th Oct where they state the monitor should be delivered at the latest 5th Dec. Guess we see what happens next.
Tbh now I've got to the point of just looking to buy off another more trust-worthy vendor. The monitor was going to be part of a PC build which is going to be delayed anyway due to availability of other components so I might as well wait to see what newer monitors come out (the new MSI monitor with the AUO panel equivalent of the LG Nano-ips in the S2721DGF looks like it's the better panel )

My two on order have now been delayed until 25/01 as well.
I have just spoken to customer service who weren't able to tell me anything we don't already know. They did say that due to the shortage of parts etc. they may need to cancel some of the orders. They also said that there's a possibility of some discount in the form of a refund once they arrive (if they ever do).
The money won't be taken until they ship so going to forget about my order for a month or so and if I find another monitor I prefer in the meantime I'll cancel then.

The BenQ EX2780Q is currently hanging out in the rainforest for £350. Apparently G-Sync does work on it, unofficially...
USB-C would be nice

My order got postponed to 26.01 also, sent them an inquiry over webform and also called them. Customer care on phone promised it won't get postponed again and offered me 5% discount, 1 hour later I got an email offering 10% discount. Well getting the discount is good but not sure if the monitors will get shipped actually at the end of January or not.

You can get it for £280 via chat and then 10% back due to ridiculous delays.

Opinions on the BenQ vs the LG?

The LG is what I have and it's excellent, zero complaints or problems in the week since I received it. I haven't hit 144 FPS yet (I don't have the graphics card to hit that performance level), but in the 60-100 FPS range I haven't seen any issues in games. I have an Nvidia 980 Ti for reference.

This is a ******* joke. I'm buying a monitor on black friday from somewhere else instead.
