The pending charge fell off last week and I was fully charged today. Probably doesn't mean anything. Ordered late on the 14th.

Same thing happened to me. Normally that means it is about to ship but others on here mentioned LG does charge your card completely before the product is ready. It also sounds like LG customer service is giving ultra safe dates but it also sounds like they may have no clue when it would actually ship. If I didn't want WOLED so much I might switch but I don't want a QD.

It does say on their page that they only charge when it's getting ready to ship but I'm skeptical. https://i.imgur.com/6xPeA1P.png https://www.lg.com/us/shop-lg/shop-faq The Canadian version of this page says they charge immediately. Between this and the warranty debacle I've learned that LG is pretty terrible at communicating.

I'm 100% with you. What you linked is how the vast majority of product preorders go. I cant' think of another time when I had a charge stick but then waited months. That said, I think LG will side-step the verbiage in what you linked by saying it is now back-ordered. Maybe we should demand even more off the price? Prob not once they look at all my discounts 😄 I'm going to give it a couple more weeks then just get my address changed just in case it actually ships when I'm overseas traveling.


malteasers

I was fully charged over a week ago and no ship.


Kevin8385

Was charged over a week ago and hasn't shipped anything. They are just charging in advance

Ordered April 15th at 9am. No news yet on shipping. Probably best to just forget about it till a shipping email comes through.


JaqueMihoff

Yeah for sure. Initially I was checking my email alot to see if one came through.  Now it's just a slow patient wait till the summer it looks like.  Oh well,  what can you do.   Guess the recent batch that people were posting about was kind of a fluke. 


atg284

If that [recent news article](https://www.lgdisplay.com/eng/company/media-center/latest-news;jsessionid=4C543459C31167C0230CFA5A132D94AF?contentId=5295) is to be believed then this monitor just went into mass production. I guess the first ones out were a test batch? Maybe to make sure tolerances were up to snuff and to make minor production changes that they discovered in that first batch. And/or they opened the preorder to get a better estimation on demand? I have no proof but that could be it. Not familiar with monitor production lines though lol


JaqueMihoff

Maybe the first batch was a small stockpile of test samples and they got it out the door to say:  "Look! We aren't super late to the game and can compete with Samsung. We exist too!" To snag preorders that might have otherwise gone to QD-OLEDs. 


atg284

Yep that is very likely. Having been on this sub just over a month, I have noticed pretty much all 5 manufacturers have rushed these new 4K 32in monitors out the door. I'm going to be overseas for an extended period coming up soon so I may need to change my shipping address if it's looking like a over a month wait from now. I wonder how that request will go lol


JaqueMihoff

I imagine it shouldn't be too hard to change the shipping address since it's a long while out it looks like.

Meanwhile me in the EU… waiting…

i ordered on the 13 and status still shows processing. decided to bite the bullet and call customer support today and they said rough ETA of stock is mid JULY. i just got a 4090 and im debating if its really work upgrade from my dell 165hz 2k monitor to this as maybe this is a sign i dont need a new monitor T\_T


Piratoz

I'm in the same boat, no rush as I have a nice 144 hz 2k IPS. Sure its not perfect but its quite good. The OLED is just going to be even better. Just waiting in queue for it to finally arrive 3 months later or something.

I ordered on the 19th when I noticed Rakuten cash back went back up to 10%. At the time of ordering, the page/site also said shipping will start on the 19th, even my order confirmation email says that. My order status on LG still says processing, awaiting shipment. I initially saw the charge on Amex but now it’s disappeared. Im concerned that it will not be charged in time for the Amex 6% cash back which ends in less than a week. I was trying to take advantage of all the cash back - Rakuten, Bing, Amex and the promo code. I may end up cancelling in a few days if nothing changes.


SteveErss

Ordered mine on the 11th, also used Amex 6% back and they paid that out on the 17th. My order from LG originally said delivery by the 15th, I called and emailed but received no estimated date at all, just to “wait”. Chances are, your Amex rewards will still go through like mine did!


BEENAZN

Curious, what does your order status say on the LG website?


SteveErss

Sorry, left this part out - order status has been stuck on “processing” still :( LG, like others on this thread, fully charged my card since like the 18th, thought it would be shipping soon but no updates yet or status changes


BEENAZN

My order status changed today to awaiting shipping. I checked the fedex app and it shows that a label has been created. I still dont see a charge but I guess it will be soon, likely Monday. It’s coming bro. Check ur status again, check fedex app with ur shipping address.


SteveErss

Thanks for posting this! Mine also changed from processing to “awaiting shipping” as of 11am this morning (checked earlier at like 7am CST but was still processing) Super good call on checking fed ex app, I didn’t think about that. I made a huge mistake though - I canceled my order last night due to frustration of no shipping date in sight :( gave them a call this past evening to confirm cancelation. RIP.


gotriceboi

Hey did the order ever show up back on your AMEX? Mine disappeared as well.


BEENAZN

Not yet bro :(


gotriceboi

Same. My AMEX offer ends in 5 days, would suck if it didn’t post.


BEENAZN

My order status changed today to awaiting shipping. I checked the fedex app and it shows that a label has been created. I still dont see a charge but I guess it will be soon, likely Monday. It’s coming bro. Check ur status again, check fedex app with ur shipping address.


gotriceboi

Thanks for the update. I checked my status too... awaiting shipping and it’s a 2 day shipping too from New Jersey. :)


gotriceboi

Hey have you been charged yet?


BEENAZN

Yes, charged showed up during the weekend but was actually dated 2 days before. Also, the Amex cashback hit my account too. I had to reach out to Rakuten and they replied and made an exception for that cashback. Waiting to hear back from MS. Monitor is on the move and is expected to arrive on Wed. I wish I got to take advantage of the 20% accessories promo but Im happy with the price I currently spent, even if I dont get the MS cashback.

My order status changed from processing to awaiting shipping and I can no longer cancel my order since the cancel button is now gone. Hopefully this means it’ll be shipping soon. I placed my order on April 14


JaqueMihoff

Wow! Mine too, but I still have the cancel button available. Maybe LG support was full of BS. I called and they said estimated late June.


Nexas789

Yeah same, 4/13 order here. does yours weirdly say cancel pending tho? that freaked me out I called support but they said it was fine https://preview.redd.it/xlvoxxb6luwc1.png?width=884&format=png&auto=webp&s=e53178d3ed31343a220f5aedcf668c967b04ad0e


megamatt0

Yeah mine shows cancel pending too which I found strange. I didn't worry about it too much since the status still shows awaiting shipping.


Nexas789

Okay I appreciate it, was wondering if it was just me


DEANOPAKINO

I ordered mine April 12th, just got shipping yesterday: saying it’s arriving April 30th. Very hype !


xepper

Does anyone with a preorder on their LG management page have a "cancel pending" next to their pre order and did not want to cancel? I called and they said it is likely a glitch and will not be cancelled but I am skeptical.


JaqueMihoff

Mine said that but mine was delivered regardless. It's not actually canceled 


xepper

Alright, great. Thank you!


zekkragnos

I have mine packed and ready to be dropped back tomorrow to FedEx to return it.


WaterRresistant

Details?

I can't get this monitor to clip higher than 600 nits. Windows HDR calibration, in game calibration in some games, everything clips at 600 nits, which makes no sense to me given that this monitor is supposed to reach almost 1200. I have a QD-OLED variant and the bright highlights look much brighter than this monitor. If it wasn't because of that I probably would've kept it. Asus had the same issue when it launched as it was showing 433 nits and would clip around that but after the recent firmware updates its fixed and now it clips over 1000 nits.
