I've been following the progress of my new monitor for a few days. It was sent with DHL and arrived in Australia on Saturday, after only 38½ hours. That seems better than UPS, though I've never had anything sent from Korea before. It's difficult to know how long it would have taken end to end if it had arrived during the week, but as it was, this morning was the earliest practical delivery date. And indeed we found a notification in the letterbox: to be picked up at Napoleons CPO. They could have delivered it to the door, but I'm sure they have a valid excuse. In any case, headed off to Napoleons after lunch19.8 km each wayand picked it up. Well packaged and protected with a Fragile sticker with arrows pointing to the bottom.
Unpacked it and put it together. It looks good:
The other monitor is the defective 22" monitor that it's replacing. I'm going to have to position it where there are no reflections, but I think the place I had chosen anyway will fit the bill. But that's as far as I could go today: X configuration is going to be fun, and there's also the power supply to replace in eureka, so I'll have to plan some time when I'm less occupied.
