    FWIW - I had an issue whereby I ordered with a "guest" account and I didn't get a confirmation email. I called OW and they confirmed my order and gave me an order ID. SO whilst I was on the phone I asked them if it was a pricing error - they went off and 2mins later came back and said it was not … Gives me some hope … Let's see.

    • Unrvl on 20/09/2016 - 14:10

      wtf now i regret not buying this. expected this to be an obvious pricing error!

    Nice!
    IF this deal is honoured, I will have bought this for under $5…
    (Bought 5 $30 Telstra Starter Packs at $1 each ages ago, used included data & call credits, redeemed credit @ 55% of value to PayPal using app Rebatr.)
    Not holding my breath😀

      Rebatr? didnt know you could convert phone credit to paypal? link?

      • INFIDEL on 20/09/2016 - 14:17

        Google / search OzBargain - it was new to me until recently.
        Was discussed on OzBargain when the Telstra Freedom plan was scrapped. That meant no more $30 credit per starter pack & no more Play purchases with it's replacement.

        I had hundreds of dollars of Telstra credit from old $1 Starter Pack deals waiting for a good use - like this.

    Just phone the Garden City store in Brisbane to check price/stock. They were unable to find this product in their system. Then called up the head office on the 1330 number and the lady on the phone sadly informed that the price was incorrect - correct price is apparently $388 from what she told me!

    So sad :(

    • INFIDEL on 20/09/2016 - 14:26

      Egads - that's the store I ordered c&c from 😢

      • PLA74 on 20/09/2016 - 14:28

        I ordered at 11.37am

        • INFIDEL on 20/09/2016 - 14:28

          [Edited comment above] - original comment…
          What time was your order?

          I ordered for c&c at same store at noon.
          My order still is showing as "open" on their system.

        • INFIDEL on 20/09/2016 - 14:38

          Damn, I'm in the queue for cancellation 😱

          Order is awaiting allocation, please check again later.
          Order still in account 3.5 hours after order - OfficeWorks torture method #47.

      I'm betting on a price error though.

      • INFIDEL on 20/09/2016 - 14:33

        I find the franchise a little tired after so many sequels now.

        I mean, how can we believe in the main character after so many ridiculous blunders in previous showings?

        Time to bring the franchise to an end, if this one doesn't please the masses.

          I don't know… everyone makes mistakes, someone might be having a really bad day after this but to close OW all together seems a little extreme to me.

          @ProjectZero:
          Sweet😀
          But, not really what I was discussing. You took my comment literally, rather than metaphorically.

          The comment I responded to related to the potential entertainment value of this type of deal. (I ordered but don't expect it to be honoured, so don't take it seriously like some.)

          If you didn't realise after the popcorn reference, it was my lame tongue in cheek review of OfficeWorks as if it was a movie or movie character - so many (price error) sequels… referred to as a (movie) franchise.

          Probably just another stuff up.
          I'm also grabbing the popcorn😀

        So am I. $78 for a $300+ monitor on back order … Screams PRICING ERROR. Having said that, OW did honour the pricing error on the Chromecasts last year … But the loss per item on those was minimal in comparison.

          That's what I was thinking. Bought the Chromecast at that crazy price, so some may be lucky this time😯
          Hope I'm a winner🏆.

          😀 Dependable OzBargain 😀

          As soon as a popular deal sells out come the "didn't want it anyway" comments.

          When the deal fails, gloating & "told you so" from those who arrived too late or didn't order…

          "I'll never shop there again" & "I'm complaining to the ACCC" from those whose orders were cancelled.

          Its all part of the fun & entertainment value of OzBargain😯

      and yet people are still regularly buying 55inch TV's that are 1080p

        1080p on my 21" LCD Benq monitor is fine, the 32" 1080p would be a luxury and also good for old eyes like mine who cannot read small print on a 21" screen a metre or so away on the other side of the desk.

        It is if you are using as a monitor and will be sitting any closer than 1m, as a TV sure. 24/25 inches is as large as you want to go at 1080p. 27/32 inches 2k is the go. @40/43 inches 4k is the sweet spot. Oh and I don't need convincing I have my beautiful korean monitors for eye candy:40" 4k as my main monitor and a 27" 2k in portrait mode ;)

        may be your order is also is selected for review as mine is, they will manually review the order and then will accept / reject it

    • HappyPooPants on 21/09/2016 - 10:24

      My 2nd order was processed and I was charged but I never received the email confirmation.
      When I called them yesterday to ask why no email, they said order was flagged by security team and it was cancelled. I will receive refund in next 24 - 48 hrs.
      So no email confirmation either way.

      My first order did get an email confirmation and I was charged, but clearly that doesn't mean anything.

      • HappyPooPants on 21/09/2016 - 13:52

        • edfoo on 21/09/2016 - 12:54

          Huh? Do you mean even for people who have chosen "click and collect" option, they still cannot go to their selected store and pick up this monitor, instead they have to wait for 2-3 weeks? That doesn't make sense. Does it mean Officeworks don't even have any stock and buyers have to wait for 2-3 weeks for stock to be delivered to the store? If no stock, why should Officeworks advertise the item in the first place?

        • spackbace on 21/09/2016 - 12:59

          @edfoo:

          Yes, that's exactly what it means, and the site always stated that timeframe. It likely means they're on order, and no stock in warehouses. You can still 'collect', but not till they get the stock (if they honour it at all).

          @edfoo:

          Sounds like someone who hasn't read the description on the website prior to ordering. The lead time would have been shown right under the 'click and collect' and 'deliver to door' boxes. Anyway moot point as the whole thing was obviously a pricing error.

        • edfoo on 21/09/2016 - 16:19

    Bought 2 of these on the weekend from MSY @ $299 each

    Didn't realize my existing 24" monitors (one died, which is why i replaced it, and they have to be the same!) were actually 1980 * 1200, so my new, 8 inch larger monitors, have a smaller resolution and fit less :(

    However, they are still massive, and pretty good for the price compared to other's in the same size & resolution category….

    although not as good as $78 :>o

    • edfoo on 20/09/2016 - 21:36

      Just sit a bit further away from this 31.5" monitor and it will look as sharp as your previous 24" monitor :)

    • Pacify on 21/09/2016 - 01:57

      32" for 1080p sounds terrible, even 27" really need 1440p, 32 need 4k

      • tin tin on 21/09/2016 - 10:43

        Yeah pretty poor res for the size. I'm thinking a good use for this would be mounting it on a wall and using it for a home automation dashboard to look at from a distance. It is IPS (good viewing angle) and has vesa wall mount.

      • ProjectZero on 21/09/2016 - 11:45
        +1

        I'd say it depends on what you are going to use it for… If you are planning on using it as a TV (i.e. you won't be up close with the monitor) 1080p would be ok…

        If you're like me and plan on using this as a monitor… than you're gonna have a problem… but for $78 and if it does come, all I will say to that issue is "meh"

        • spackbace on 21/09/2016 - 11:53

          If this pans out, I'm planning to use it as a TV. Have a Telstra box as PVR/Tuner sitting around doing nothing :)

        • ProjectZero on 21/09/2016 - 11:54

          @Spackbace: hahaha yeah that would be ideal for this size and resolution…

        • edfoo on 21/09/2016 - 12:57

          Exactly. If you buy the monitor for $299 yeah you can whinge about the "low" resolution, but for only $78 you better shut up and put up with it :)

        • INFIDEL on 21/09/2016 - 13:27
