Monitor

Post by Revolver »

OK, so I bottled it when it came to ordering a whole new PC for about £650 but I do need a monitor. I don't want or even need anything flash, just max res and widescreen. So I stumbled on this for £80. Any good for a proper cheapey? I was looking at BenQ's (I have been for a year or so lol!) for abour £120 but not sure if its worth it?

I decided to order it earlier. There aren't many reviews about it or anything but there isn't a lot to be said that isn't along the lines of "good picture" and "good value" so for £80.... I can't be doing with spending a fortune and I don't need a million HDMI inputs so it should do the job. Goodbye 4:3 and welcome back to Widescreen Rev, a decade after the original revolution :lol:

Well as it turns out the price was "too good to be true". I ordered it at £79.99 with free delivery via 24hr courier. No less than 2 hours later I went on eBay to show a chap at work and the price had been changed to £89.99 with £5.99 delivery or £8.99 24 hour courier. Bargain.

eBuyer have it at £90, went on there to check the price. I can only assume they entered the price wrong. Can't see much markup for them selling it so cheap.
