LG UltraFine5k Buying Advice

Quantities are always limited for anything. Even the universe has an edge.

My replacement 5K will be here tomorrow. I returned mine when they annouced the "fix" and pulled them all from the shelves. Got tracking on Friday. Hoping this new batch is golden.

Why do they not supply any pictures of the shielding then on that article?
They seem to make a claim, but not back it up with any evidence they actually did what they say. Sure, they likely did swap out the "shielding", but why on earth not include some pix of the process whilst there... so users can see what all the mass fuss is about?

Likely because seeing shielding there or not is of no particular value to the average consumer. They just want to know version 2 is fixed.

It was reported here that it was until March 31st:

Also look on Apple's page for the LG 5K. Go to the very bottom:
http://www.apple.com/shop/product/HKN62LL/A/lg-ultrafine-5k-display?fnode=8a

It says:

Subject to availability and quantity limits apply. Pricing effective October 27, 2016 - March 31, 2017.​

Originally it was until December 31st, 2016 as well, so it could be changed or not.

they're fine displays, packed with a lot of technology that wasn't standard years ago, so hopefully the new revisions are seamless and good to go, need to get mine exchanged.

Just ordered two of them for me and the better half. Delivery says March 9-16. This should be interesting.
