    Would this be better than my samsung monitor that I bought 5 years ago for $300? Don’t have the model name with me

    • ddrmagic on 16/11/2017 - 10:39

      without a model name or number we wouldnt be able to say at all to be honest.

      • first in line on 16/11/2017 - 10:56

        Just wanted to know if monitors have generally improved over the last 5 years

          yes

      Oh I know the ones. Samsung sold them in 2012 for $300.
      Yeah, this one is way better.

      • Antikythera on 16/11/2017 - 11:37

        no i think the one he means is the Samsung $300 one from 2012. it was much better than this one. the picture especially but also the screen was good.

        • Tiggrrrrr on 16/11/2017 - 21:19
          +6

          No, I think he means the 2012 Samsung one that could be bought for $300.
          In which case although it was an improvement on the one Samsung sold in 2012 for $300, it wasn't anywhere near as good as the Samsung $300 one from 2012.

    • gmatht on 16/11/2017 - 13:42

      Making a recommendation without the model number is tricky. But I enjoy a challenge. As you are an OzBargainer, you obviously bought one of the bargains on OzBargain rather than throw money in the face of the local Harvey Norman sales rep like some normal person.

      Thus I can conclude that with with $300 you would have bought something at least as fancy as the $259 24" Samsung PLS LED S24A850DWk 1920x1200 5ms listed on OzBargain just over 5 years ago.

      The $259 monitor has 1920x1200 pixels rather than the paltry 1920x1080 pixels of the monitor in this ad. Thus this monitor would be a downgrade from your existing monitor.

      It is elementary, my dear Watson!

    Panel type is VA:
    VA panels provide a good middle ground with better-than-IPS refresh rates and contrast levels, but have worse viewing angles and color production, although generally still better than TN

    • follow on 16/11/2017 - 10:56

      Do VA panels suffer from glare

      • HighAndDry on 16/11/2017 - 12:12
        +4

        Not related - glare depends on if it's a glossy finish or a matte finish.

      Your gonna put different model monitors side by side?

      • PurchaseAnxiety on 16/11/2017 - 12:47

        Yep. Previously used an ipad 2 as a 2nd monitor (using Duet), so I think I'll cope ok with this.

          Just curious to know what you do on the ipad while using it as a second monitor??

          +2

          @Shopaholicdesi: Look up an app called duet. Pretty straight forward, just install the required software, connect ipad to pc via charging cable, and Windows / MacOS treats it as a second monitor.

  • nahkk on 16/11/2017 - 10:54

    Trying to pay through Paypal with Pickup as delivery option. Attempted twice but ended up with error "Status of an item in the cart has changed". Anyone facing the same.

    • jordan23140 on 16/11/2017 - 11:05

      JB doesnt take amex without surcharge. If your paypal is hooked up to your amex card then it wont go through :(

      edit: tried through mastercard, not working D:

      • kulprit on 16/11/2017 - 11:54

        I'm not sure this is true. The company have no idea what card you are paying with when you use PayPal.

        • nickykeeng on 16/11/2017 - 13:51

          Strange because I have had issues with payments going through where AmEx isn’t accepted. That’s why I need to add a MasterCard to PayPal as well 😥

    • MitchyD1989 on 16/11/2017 - 11:10

      Yeah I got that as well, through all options (Paypal, Visa Checkout and credit card directly). Just emptied my cart and started again, went straight through without issue after that.

    • nahkk on 16/11/2017 - 12:13

      Tnaks for replies everyone. I tried CC directly (that I avoid usually) and it went through.

      At only 1920x1080, why would you want anything bigger? By today's 4K standards, it's low-res.

      I have no regrets about purchasing a 21" six years ago on the cheap because it only had VGA (D-sub) input. But this monitor now costs about half that and has HDMI in.

          SOrry guys haven't read the messages. So its Amex harvey norman offer. Spend $400 get 100 back. So I bought Nutribullet 1200w + LG Screen + $45 worht of something = $402
          So I will get 100 back. Nutribullet 1200 is for $159 (The cheapest) + Complementary 2 protein mix
          So technically this screen cost me $98. hope that helps.

          @jag3932:

          But you have to spend $400 to get that. So on its own this monitor doesn't qualify for it.

        • Farmer1 on 17/11/2017 - 10:16

          Yes I am afraid.

  • nubzy on 16/11/2017 - 11:10

    would it be better than BenQ E2400? I find the colours washed out and it looks a bit blurry compared to my 14" FHD IPS laptop screen. I guess IPS really makes all the difference..

    It does have DisplayPort instead of HDMI though as well.
