This or gigabyte G27Q? https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012015

Looking into it more, it seems the Asus has a nicer stand (can do portrait) while the gigabyte is a bit brighter.

...and 165Hz vs 144Hz but I don't really care about that.

Nope, it just changed today from Order Received to Preparing shipment, gamestop seems to be using the slowest people ever to get these orders shipped

Ordered yesterday using r10 cashback and see that I used the link in my r10 account but don't see any CB yet - anyone show it their account already?

Also, noticed in the terms that 20% was valid for 'electronics' but not for 'pc accessories' which would only be 2%. I contacted them yesterday to confirm that monitors are 'electronics' so 20% would apply but they never replied.

I still haven't seen mine yet and I actually had somebody PM and tell me that they only tried to give them $5 and he is arguing with them to tell them that it was 15%. I'm having the same issue and trying to argue with them about another deal for something else. Seems like they have become more difficult.

Does anybody happen to have a screenshot of the CB that rak10 offered that you can PM me so I can use it as proof? I forgot to take one myself.

I also contacted them a few days ago and they just got back to me to advise the same thing. CB will be only $5, not the $50 I was hoping. Reason is because it is considered a 'pc accessory', which offered a measly 2% cb, not 'electronics' that offered the sweet 20%.

Screenshot won't help so probably just have to give up your case. For me, think I'm going to return this (if it ever ships) as the CB was one of main reasons for purchase. For those that are considering a return as well, note their return policy states monitors must be in UNOPENED condition.

Yep. Support told me it was all packed up and ready to be picked up yesterday, but they couldn't tell me which company (clearly indicating they haven't even printed labels). Reached out today and zero updates other than saying they've escalated my case and I'll hear back in 24 - 48 hours. Worthless.

This is dumb. Even GameStop considers monitor as electronics. I'm returning mine as well.

Should I keep this or BenQ MOBIUZ EX2710S 27" 16:9 HDR10 FreeSync 165 Hz IPS Gaming Monitor. Both unopened still deciding. I have gaming PC and PS5, and I do little video editing. Any recommendation which one I should keep?

Me too. I would have ordered from Amazon or B&H for $10-20 more (during BF) and had mine 12 days ago. Instead, GameStop sat on it for 8 days before putting a label on it. Now it's all jammed up with other Christmas packages, snow/tornado issues (it traveled 400 miles in 5 days, and still has 2100 miles to go for my anticipated delivery date of tomorrow).
