  • Ah, damnit, bought one of these at officeworks for $94 the other day.

    I assume you can OW pricematch the JB deal for $83.79 if you can be bothered.

  • Amazing.

  • I'm curious - what do people use these for? They just seem a bit too small (being laptop sized) to be useful on a desktop?

    • I'm planning on using it as a diagnostic monitor (I fix computers for a living).

      Although my friend who just uses his computer for a small amount of facebook and online poker is fine with his 16"er for that those jobs.

  • I bought it at 'the bad guys' for $94. It SEEMS small, but once you get stuck into it you realise how capable the damn thing is! The small footprint is an absolute plus where price is at a premium, good enough to use, great for space!

  • If you have a media center PC, one output obviously going to your big TV, and I always have a tiny monitor for the second output for tasks when your TV is occupied with something or someone.

    • Why wouldn't u just SSH/VNC/RDP in…

      • Afaik you can't RDP at the same time as someone is doing anything on the media center PC because it logs them out and you in so they see a log in screen whilst you work. SSH? No idea what you mean here, I have used SSH on Linux to terminal login (and tunnelling a port) but terminal log in not much use for windows :P VNC same problem as RDP you take over the screen afaik.

        Please correct me if i'm wrong as i'd love to find out if these can be done.

        • SSH - You didn't specify the OS you were using. Personally I wouldn't touch Windows esp. on a HTPC

          But if you are using Windows there's a hack to enable multiple RDP sessions for XP Pro.

  • A 16" monitor would look "big" when used with a 8.9" netbook…
    And as Bender stated above, it's a great compromise of viewable screen vs space consumed (at a v. low price).
    +ve from me.

  • 9 years ago I bought a 15" LCD monitor for around $1,000 and it was "big enough" for me to do everyday job at 1024x768. How things have changed :)

    Also wouldn't it be a good combination with those desktop Eee PC's that was sold for $340? An Atom powered quiet desktop box with 16" LCD monitor, brand new for under $450. Great for students I guess.

    You can buy a 19"/48cm one from Coles for $300:

      19" vs 16"
      $300 vs $88
      Hmmmmm; your point is AlexDude???

  • My wife went down to OW to get a pricematch on this, and the OW person called JB to confirm stock. The OW person reckons the JB person said the price was a mistake and the monitor is $200
    So either the JB person lied to the OW person, or the OW person lied to my wife, or the JB person is a moron, or JB do consider it to be a mistake.

    That said, there are like 4 mainstream retailers with these under $100, so JB are retarded if they think they can flog it off as a $200 monitor

    OW ended up pricematching, but not with the %5 discount

    • yeah, I hate dealing with sales in JB & TGG, obviously this monitor is on the front page for good 16 hours. And its the only one monitor featured on their site. Think they just decide to play a little game as soon as they know it is from officeworks. Hey you never know, it could also be the OW playing the game.

  • Nah this monitor is the right price. I can say with 100% certainty the 16" monitor is definately this price.

  • Guys, I'm interested in buying this, but can anyone tell me if the base is removable? I plan to have this mounted.

    Thanks

    16" ? maybe back in 1995.

    • So your -ve vote is because you think $88.20 is a poor deal for this monitor Quantocks?

  • Price matched for $83.79 at officeworks.

    Thanks OP for the bargain!!!

  • quantocks is a fool
