Has anyone heard from these MD guys on the 4/12 update they promised (that is due today)
UPDATE: Another meaningless response today... as usual - :)
04/21 - "<PLACEHOLDER - more BS awaited>..."
vs.
04/12 - "We have reached out to the vendor and are awaiting shipping estimates. We will make sure to update the group as soon as we hear back."
vs.
04/06 - "The vendor is currently still working on re-routing the order to our warehouse. We will make sure to update the group as soon as we receive tracking for the bulk order."
vs.
03/31 - "There has been an error with the shipment from our vendor and the LG 27" 4K FreeSync, USB-C Monitor 27MU88-W were shipped to the incorrect location. The units were sent back to LG to be rerouted to our warehouse in New Jersey. We have contacted the vendor requesting an updated shipping estimate and will email the group as soon as we hear back."
vs.
03/23 - "Our vendor has informed us that the LG 27" 4K FreeSync, USB-C Monitor 27MU88-W will be available to them by next week. They will be working hard to prepare this order for shipment once the units are received and we’ll update the group as soon as everything is en route to us."
vs.
03/13 - "Our vendor has informed us that there will be a slight delay due to manufacturing for the LG 27" 4K FreeSync, USB-C Monitor 27MU88-W. The monitors will be available to them by the first week of April. They will be working hard to prepare this order for shipment once the units are received and we’ll update the group as soon as everything is en route to us. We are currently still on track for everything to be shipped out of our warehouse by the mid April."
vs.
03/07 - "Awaiting confirmation! We are still in contact with the vendor and just awaiting updated shipment estimates from them. We have a call scheduled and should get a bit more visibility in regards to when we can expect these in our warehouse."
vs.
02/22 - "Thanks again for joining this drop! We have submitted the group's order with the vendor for the LG 27" 4K FreeSync, USB-C Monitor 27MU88-W and they are working hard to prepare it for shipment.As soon as the group's order is ready at the vendor's location, they will send the bulk shipment to our warehouse in New Jersey where our warehouse team will break it up into individual orders and ship them. The current estimated ship date from our warehouse is 3/13. We will keep the group updated throughout the fulfillment process."
Are you seeing a pattern here (of useless updates)...

RSMassdropDude, awesome job. I was about to post a timeline bu saw that you took care of it.
What sticks out to me was the implication that the order was essentially shipped. The earlier email stated that part of the shipment was enroute and they (Massdrop) planned to have them shipped to us by 4/15. Now today, NOTHING has been shipped and they have no plans for an actual update of substance.
I've sent my email in to remove myself from the drop. I'm going in a different direction. A sincere best of luck to those who remain in the drop.

RSMassdropI ordered the Dell S2718D. It's a new release. It gives me what I've wanted from a monitor for awhile now but couldn't find - 27", 1440p, IPS, glossy. It also has USB 3.0 (2x) and USB-C (45W), which is useful but not necessary for my needs. My only gripe (there's no perfect monitor) is that it has no height adjustment and cannot be mounted, but I can solve that by placing it on a height adjustable stand if necessary.
If it doesn't live up to my expectations for any reason, I'll send it back for the U2717D, which is matte, has the ergonomic stand, 4x USB ports, and comes factory calibrated.
I'll be happy with either, but had to try the 2718 first due to my love of glossy displays.

MedionYes S2718D is a good monitor. A lil short on ports but better looking and $699 without tax.

MedionThank you... Seems the USB-C is 45 W and cannot charge macbooks. How about Acer H277HU? Any thoughts.

RSMassdropNo opinion. I couldn't find any info on the power limit of its USB-C port.
Also, sending my Dell back. It wasn't real glossy. It was a glossy cover over a matte display which just makes it look dirty. A real disappointment. It was also my last hope at a real glossy display, so now I'm resigned to matte.

MedionThank you :) I did find info on USB-C on the Dell. The Acer looks like a good buy.
