In 14 days, read.
Thought that meant UNTIL 26/12 - Should stay "STARTS" in the title
Done, thanks.
Should stay "STARTS" in the title
*say
Thanks for the contribution.
Agree… Heard Qantas will offer $5 fare on October 16th 2018… too early to post THAT deal??
:)I don't think there is any rule against this as I've seen deals posted well in advance previously. The only action mods took was to highlight it on the front page when it went live.
A start and end date is provided in the deal and there is also the option to set a reminder. What's the issue?
Is this your first day or something?
A lot of self-entitlement these days.
Must be a firesale on pitchforks at Masters.
how about you just focus on the deal. mmkay?
Email just received.
No it's clearly insider info, don't lie
;)
I get all my insider info from mailing lists.
;)
Thats called speculation not lieing.
;)
Well my appologys, I dont think I got that email and im signed up???
how about you just focus on the deal. mmkay?
This monitor has audio pass through? Thinking to get it for ps4 pro but unsure how to set up for a monitor without audio jack.
What do u mean about audio jack? All the sound will support via HDMI. And it has 3.5 audio output as well
Good to know will look into this monitor
I have the same monitor with 34" 21:9 scale and 1440p on my PS4. It work pretty well with black balance
@arctan: $929
Im using it as the monitor for macbook as well. With ps4 u can setup with 2 blank space at 2 sides or wider the image
HDMI transmits video and sound with the same cable
So this will work with new MacBook Pro?
Will DP carry audio?Every monitor will work with macbook. The only problem is display quality, but Apple is using LG panel as their main monitor so it is the best option if u r looking for a monitor with same display as your macbook.
And display port doesn't support sound.It's thunderbolt 3 that carries audio?
Yes thunderbold 3 support audio but that model doesn't have thunderbold 3.
Displayport definitely carries sound. I've been using audio through DP for 3 years now.
Mine doesn't:( maybe i got a bad quality cable
Oops, just realised this monitor doesn't have speakers - don't want to pay the $1400 price though from Apple for the LG monitor
@ZombieLover: All cables are the same (ish); people need to realise that just like HDMI cables there is literally no difference between a cheap cable and a Monster $50 one. Data is digital and perceived cable quality will not make a difference. If your monitor supports DP and has speakers then I'd look into audio settings on your computer.
@yoyomablue: DP as a protocol definitely supports sound, even multi-channel audio. Of course its dependent on the monitor. All this info is on the official Displayport page here. If you were serious about audio anyways, you wouldn't use built in speakers. Although there are speakers on my monitor, I am using standalone studio monitors.
Either use the speakers on your laptop or dedicated ones. No point specifically getting a monitor with speakers as the built in speakers are all terrible. Case in point, any TV you buy regardless of price will sound like a tin can.
While I agree with your assessment of HDMI cables, my own personal experience with Display Port cables has been different.. Bought a 4K monitor earlier in the year, the included cable was a bit short so I purchased a longer (3mt cable) from MSY.
Plugged it in, monitor ran at 30Hz, refused to go to 60Hz at 4K …
Ended up buying a certified HBR support (High Bit Rate) at ~ 4X the price of the MSY one and voila, monitor ran at 60Hz.
I do not believe HDMI has HBR type standards like DP, but a cheap HDMI cable with thin (or no) shielding may cause drop outs in certain circumstances where a slightly more expensive cable will not suffer the same issues (speaking from experience here as well).
What is probably applicable for HDMI in terms of quality cabling is the length of the cable run. If you want to run a HDMI cable a long distance (>3mt) a higher quality cable is probably a safer bet.
@digitalaxon: Yes. You are absolutely right. Versioning on both HDMI and DP cables do not matter but a cable does need to be slightly different to support HBR (for DP) or Ethernet (for HDMI).
While I do agree about longer length signal degradation for HDMI, it all depends on the quality you are expecting. High resolutions and high refresh rates with high colour bitrates do require good quality cables. For the average joe which just expects 1080p through the cable, even a cheapo 5m is fine (I've used a 7m cheapo HDMI with my PS4 for about 2 years now). It's only when you want 10m or longer cables is when you need an active cable or one with a booster.
@derfel.cadarn: the laptop is slid under desk, so speakers wouldn't be loud enough. I hate desk clutter, hence want inbuilt speakers.
been keeping an eye out for monitors for xboxoneS/scorpio. does this thing support hdr?
Basically no monitors do at the moment, you'll need a TV if you really want HDR in the near future.
ah didn't know that. thanks for the info:)
According to below link, Benq will release a 4k HDR 32' monitor Jan 2017.
https://www.dpreview.com/news/6758360083/benq-announces-32-i…
u cant even get proper 4k and youre worried about HDR?
high dynamic range of your low poly 30hz upscaled content?
really? a console war?. k. microsoft easily the best platform for me. from what i've read most people cant even tell the diff 1080p and 4k. diminishing returns and all that. They can, however, tell the diff hdr or no. So hdr is important to me, but 4k is not.
no not console war
PC vs Console
its not even a competition, its a massacre
most PC gamers with GTX 1080s arent even too fussed about HDR
ah, a master racer. fair enough pal. I used to be master race. Enjoy the maybe one or two exclusives and all the ports of games made for console friend. (Of course, we both know its not about enjoying video games, its about feeling better than others)
I highly doubt that the price will include delivery as it is not mentioned either way. The heading should be amended until those details are clarified.
Done, thanks.
Does this really qualify as an Ozbargain deal tho? Previous ShoppingExpress deals have had very small quantities and can see it being more of the same..
Even the posting guidelines say "As a guideline, less than 10 quantity of items is not enough for a deal unless the item has a high price."
Do you know if they have less than 10 available?
Would be good to know up front how many they have, to save wasting time on the day.
How do you know the quantity? If you have proof that it will be less than 10, then yes. It does not qualify to be posted and you can report.
Just a warning to NVIDIA gpu owners, this monitor is freesync so the feature only works with AMD graphic cards.
Edit: Does OP know if there will be deal for gsync IPS monitors?
60Hz.. more more more
It's a 4K IPS monitor, even at 60Hz if it's well designed it's going to look better than most 144hz monitors. I paid a lot for my 144hz monitor and even though I can see the difference with that alien web page test I wish I got an expensive 60hz IPS panel instead.
It really depends what you use it for - 144hz monitors are really only if you want the best possible motion reproduction for a game (probably FPS will benefit the most). Even for typical games, an IPS panel may give a better experience simply because of higher contrast and better color reproduction.
This is probably why freesync/gsync is popular - you can have a nice in-between of smooth apparent motion while having low framerates / IPS panels and high resolution panels due to not having to put out as many frames per second.
My brother got a 144hz panel and to me the most annoying thing is the pixel response times aren't quite there (looks like after-images). Some monitors attempt to rectify this by strobing the backlight, but I haven't tried those yet. If I ever upgrade my monitor, I'd probably be looking at a 2k monitor with backlight strobe and a good freesync range, but I don't think I would prioritize getting 144hz as the top freesync range that much anymore, which opens up many more possible monitors.
Honestly you should plan to get both, if you do any work on a computer then you need another monitor anyway.
Heres the link to the email showing the voting results http://link.shoppingexpress.com.au/u/gm.php?prm=NRf1SE9vSO_5…
Is this going to be AUD$399 or USD$399 ?

What do you think?
He has not got over the shock from underwhelming Black Friday Sales.
Considering it will be boxibg day sale, might some others doing great deals on monitors ….though this for $400 has me sold if they have the qty.
Ok
Awesome price!
I just bought the LG 27MU67 series monitor which has a DisplayPort, MiniDP and two HDMI ports to upgrade from a Dell IPS 2560x1440 monitor and I can vouch for the quality! The controls to change input are frustrating but otherwise the display is awesome. I got mine on clearance for around $120 more than this model from MSY. (They have very little stock left)
Does it support HDR?
I'm considering getting one for PS4 Pro.
It have 3.5mm audio out?
There don't seem to be many monitors (except 'Pro' ones for photography/video etc) which support it yet, mainly TVs.
This article describes the current state of HDR: http://www.pcgamer.com/what-hdr-means-for-pc-gaming/
I want one but don't have room on my desk. I already have 2 monitors on my desk, a 24" and 25". I could put it on the right side but there would be no place to put my desktop.
Wall mount?
Not a fan of wall mounting for many reasons.
Will be interesting to see how many will be available
50 were made available, judging by your neg, you missed out?
omg apologies :| I clicked the wrong one
And yeah I did get it actually sorry :(
I'd say there was more than 50 sold. I logged on at 2:35 purchased 2 without issue.
Be careful, Shopping Express/Futu_Online may be scammers.
I bought a Acer XB280 4K monitor from their ebay store, and it was dead on arrival. These things happen right? Well, I returned it, they'd said they'd refund me, now they are saying it is working, despite me testing it with multiple cables and computers, and buying the exact same second monitor from them.
They are not responding to my messages and they have not refunded me.
Be careful, Shopping Express/Futu_Online may be scammers.
Two off the most well respected online company's in Australia, you can't be serious…
Do you want to see the ebay conversation? They've taken my money and are not replying to me.
Paypal dispute
Okay, I probably should do that if they don't settle it before christmas. Thank you for the suggestion.
@malouphix:
No, and they are refusing to even send a photo of it working when I rung to ask after being ignored.They say they'll send it back to the manufacturer, but that'll take a few more weeks before they can even think of a refund.
They said they could give me back 85% - delivery… but on a monitor this expensive, that's not a small amount to lose.
That's pretty poor form - the suggestion of a paypal dispute above is kinda beside the point - You shouldn't need to take that route with any decent retailer. I certainly wouldn't pull that kinda stuff with my customers.
Totally valid neg and a good thing to be aware of.
@chiefbodge: What if the monitor really did work when they tested it? Like perhaps a connector inside popped back during the return shipping?
@eug:
If that were the case (and it seems likely) they should make every effort to communicate this with the customer ASAP and to be honest they should just give the customer the benefit of the doubt and refund / replace right away (that's what we would do).
Nothing would frustrate me more as a customer than some business telling me that they can't reproduce the clear issue I was having and therefore will just return my faulty item to me or offer me less than I paid to take it back, it's just petty for a serious business to do that then it would be such a rare event.
@chiefbodge: If that were the case, then they wouldn't be "scammers", they'd just have poor customer service.
@eug: Call it what you like but it is extremely poor form to jerk someone around who paid upfront for a brand new item, that was DOA (there must be something wrong with it, if Namk is claiming they need to send it back) and now is only offered 85% return. Well thats basically another form of scamming wouldn't you say?
I'd go straight to PayPal, and go for my full refund them drag their name through mud at every opportunity. Seriously, in a cut throat industry where customer service and support goes above saving a few bucks you try and pull this crap??
Not sure why people negging you as use of negative vote is valid. I dont feel too high for Futu now after they increased prices on multiple occasions during eBay sales.
Bigger they get, services become below average. Very few sellers maintain their reputation. though I cannot agree them to be scammers. In your case, you can say very poor customer service.Anyway, do you have a video of showing this before you sent it back, it will be worthwhile showing it to them. Atleast you might have taken a pic.
Secondly as nocure suggested, go for paypal dispute.
If it is working at their end, it might be something in the transit or someone might not be telling truth.Read their returm policy:
http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/view/FAQHope you get the refund or ask them to post it to you.
Thank you for the support.
I did two stupid things; I didn't take a picture/video and I bought the exact same monitor from them again after they said they'd refund it. I've shown ebay my receipt, so hopefully they'll understand that I would not have done it if it worked.
Next time I'll be more cautious, I really shouldn't ignore a store's 1% of negative feedback, as most positive comments are about trivial things like delivery speed.
Yea, I always record things when they don't work in case they say it is working in their workshop. I also do that when I ship items or send them back. Hope you remember this next time.
You are safe from Paypal and as you bought same monitor from them, they should not budge that low. Stick to your point and explain it to Paypal.
Good luck@TilacVIP: Fortunately not, as ebay decided in my favour, otherwise, I'd have to pay postage and only get a fraction of my purchase price back.
@Namkcalb:
So how did you return the faulty monitor back to SE, as I know they have a warehouse in Alexandria, but you need to post any items through for RMA. Did you initially pay for it then got a refund or did you just send it marked as "Receiver pays postage"???
For those who are not aware..Was looking at GPU - came across this benchmark, didn't realise you'll you need a pretty good GPU to make the most of the high res - need a gtx 1080 which will will set you back $1k … I was planning to get the gtx 1060 which costs 300 but wont be playable on the ultra high res.
But will be playing on wide quad HD 2560x1440 @ 50fps
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_geforce_gtx_10…
i have a 1070 at 1440p and it goes fine easily gets 60fps in first person shooters and racing games
The problem is you need to render twice as many pixels for 4K than 1440p. Basically, it'll be roughly half the framerate (though of course you'll be able to save on AA)
Very keen on this monitor. Am thinking to buy an Intel Nuc i5 skylake to build a new PC. Anyone know if the i5 nuc can drive this UHD display? No gaming required.
http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/want-to-buy-intels-nu…
They are using a 4K display in this video test, so I'm thinking it might just be good enough.
