  • Type c ?

    • "Ports: DP 1.2, HDMI 2.0, VGA."

    • Pretty sure you can use Type C to DP or whatever you like with the appropriate cable.

  • I guess the only way to find out if it is good quality or not… is to buy and try?

      • Wrong monitor.

        • +2

          I suspect the comments about quality issues may be relevant though.

          • +1

            @ChillBro: They are but it's a lottery. These really cheap monitors happen because they buy rejected panels which may be more or less perfect or not.

          • +1

            @ChillBro: I bought a scale from Astivita and the damn thing shattered well below the weight limit. I'm not trusting a monitor to them.

            • +3

              @Tacooo: How did you weigh-up that decision?

            • @Tacooo: hopefully you weren't hurt!

              • @wjb: Luckily not but there were shards literally everywhere in my bathroom, even in the shower which was completely closed (so they must have gone over the top of the glass).

                • +2

                  @Tacooo: Our apologies that happened and it is good to hear you were not hurt. If you could send us a message through Amazon we would like to issue you with a full refund, and it would be great to have the unit returned so we can have a look at it.

                  • +1

                    @Astivita: Sorry but I already got a refund via Amazon. I can ship the main body to you if you'd like but you'll have to pay for shipping.

                    • @Tacooo: Do you mind telling us under which weight the scale broke? I bought one for my mum and now I'm worried.

      • That’s their old monitor, I’d guess the new one is from the same factory so expect similar Okish quality for $250 is not too bad

    • +1

      I have two of these, they're great for the money

  • What's the dead pixel policy, and is there a return policy if we're not happy?

    • +7

      Listing says "We cover any dead pixels for 30 Days." Amazon have great return policies.

      Otherwise: Replacement warranted when 2 or more bright sub pixels or 6 or more dark sub pixels are present within the first 18 months. ANY number of dead pixels within the first 30 days warrants a replacement. All other issues covered by our 3 year warranty.

  • Beside the curved screen, how is this one compare to Viewsonic vx3276-2k?

    @OP, How long is the warranty? I am looking to buy 2 of these if good, any further discount if I buy 2?

    • Replacement warranted when 2 or more bright sub pixels or 6 or more dark sub pixels are present within the first 18 months. ANY number of dead pixels within the first 30 days warrants a replacement. All other issues covered by our 3 year warranty.

      Buying a cheap monitor is like buying lottery. The chance of winning is higher though.
      Bought the Viewsonic VX3276-2K in June (EOFY). Didn't have any issue with dead pixels. Was lucky
      I bought this one last night to try, will see the quality when it comes ..

      • Thanks, I have been eying the VX3276-2K after reading some reviews online, I like its thin border design and not too expensive compare to others. I am not a gamer, I just need it for my 3D CAD work and watching movie every now and then but my son sometimes play games on my PC, he mostly play minecraft, RB6 Siege, fortnite etc.., since you have one already do you think the VX3276-2K is a good choice for all the things I do? Cheers

        • Yeah I would say it's a good choice if you go for budget and decent performance. If you are okay with gaming at 60Mhz then go for the ViewSonic VX3276-2K. The cheapest deal rn is at Scorptec.
          This monitor from AstiVita has more nice-to-have" features, and it's curved. Too bad you missed out on this one, but if you not in a hurry, this seller might do another sale again

  • are there any 144hz 1080p monitors you make?

    • +1

      They don't make them. It's a generic one they just brand as their own.

      A quick search reveals that there's no other monitors they sell on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=monitor&me=ANOC89S9GMNTI&ref=n…

      • ahh okay thanks, im having a tough decision on a 144hz 1080p 24" montior, i want the 24g2 but cannot be bothered waiting because theres no stock anywhere

        • I had to return 3 x 27" AOCs (VA panels) due to many dead/stuck pixels. Not touching that brand again. Maybe the 24" IPS panels are better though.

          • @cnut: i hope so, ive only heard good things so far. itd be a nice replacement for my 60hz 21 inch samsung monitor

            • +1

              @Understandable: i have 2 of the kogan curved 144 htz, thet are great value for the money, im going to swap one for a 2k soon, but the144s are on sale for 199 atm i think

              • @dadgamer: i would like a curved but i just dont have the room, my monitor is very close to the keyboard.

                • @Understandable: im super close to, i dont know what youve heard, but curved monitors are made for relatively close use, depending on the curve of the screen, the best distance from screen to eyes is about 2 feet, or 60cm

                  • @dadgamer: ohh okay id be afraid that id be hitting the edges with my hands when i lift stuff up, my flat panel is on hte border of my mousepad

      • They don't make them. It's a generic one they just brand as their own.

        The same can be said for every monitor manufacturer then, but you're probably not that specific/picky on other brands posted here.

        • +3

          Not really. Even if there are only a few panel manufacturers, branded monitors have proper engineering behind them. Whereas this is a rebranded cheapo Chinese no name.

          • @cnut: What constitutes a monitor to be 'branded'? Also, I'd love to see the cheaper alternative to this.

      • Most brands are not making the panels FYI.

        • +2

          I know. But there’s a difference between AOC buying LG panels for their monitors and these Alibaba rebranded no name things from China.

          That’s not to say these are bad.

    • Yes pretty bad marketing, those who bought at $314 should ask amazon to refund the difference immediately

      The monitor itself is probably OK for general gaming, there are many of these rebranded Chinese monitors that come out of the same factory probably AOC which according to various reviews are not so bad for the price u pay $250 is more like it

      • +6

        Yes pretty bad marketing, those who bought at $314 should ask amazon to refund the difference immediately

        Why? So I should complain if the price drops after I already purchased in a short term sale? Is it ok if the retailer increases the price after I purchase that they charge me extra?

        You can't have your cake and eat it as well but some people expect it all.

    • +3

      @# that's bad reducing prices !

      Could it be a standard biz practice of trying to clear stock ?

      WD Taneda that's one of the dumbest negs I've seen on here !

      Wonder if System will remove it lol

    • +1

      I don't see how making something cheaper is nasty marketing practice. Its unlucky if you bought it yesterday and they dropped the price, but it probably worth sending them a message about it rather then being a internet (profanity).

    • -1

      It’s a limited time Lightning deal so you’d expect it to be cheaper than the longer period promotion price. I don’t see anything wrong with this pricing strategy. Plenty of stores do the same. P.s. did not neg anyone today in the spirit of xmas ;-)

    • -2

      Damn, used up all my negs 2day already.

    • +3

      Hey guys, my focus is not their pricing strategy, they are free to put whatever price they like, but the way they use oz bargain as their promotion platform

      We only post deal that we sincerely think it is a real saving to our fellows

      but they post one, pretend to be a bargain, knowing there will be a cheaper deal a day after

      That is not the way how we treat our mates, we don't get one another upset. IMO they should be banned from here

      And no, I didn't make any purchase, I don't buy tech products from a random brand.

      • -2

        Hmmmm please come to my kindergarten of biz .

        They put a price point it does not sell the units they were hoping for .

        What is the next move if they want to clear it ?

        Biz strategies I know is difficult to understand for some :)

        • +2

          I would argue today's deal is a planned pricing strategy, given that it only lasted for a short time frame of 3 hours and it's only 24 hours from the previous price drop

          You'll need a least a week to tell whether your pricing strategy is appropriate

          Anyway, my focus is never on their pricing, but the way they use ozb

          • @AsukaST: It can go either way. I have posted several good deals on OB, a couple of hours later the prices went up (after they made a few sales). Was it planned, who know. If you see a price you are comfortable with, you buy, otherwise you are just taking a bet that it may or may not go down further.
            But if you are not buying it either way, why get upset about it? Life is too short to stress over this ;-)

          • @AsukaST: Hi,
            I understand your concern, but this was in no way planned, we thought the previous price was a bargain and ozbargain said no it's not, so hence we dropped the price further.

  • +1

    Can still get the Aldi 27 curved 144htz for $249 if you hunt around

    • At Aldi itself? Last time I called head office they said everything was out.

    • Saw one at my local store. They any good? Think it was $219 discounted if I recall

      • I like mine and I paid like $380 or whatever. I would jump on that deal.

        • Sorry was $269, ended up buying two lol

    • Pretty sure that’s not available

      • Still available in QLD.

    • Purchased the Aldi 27inch, returned it due to very visible pixels. I purchased them to replace my ASUS

  • I'm pretty happy with those recent cheap deals with Astivita but I don't think I'd bite here.
    Got in on this one when it was active and I believe it's been offered even cheaper at times.

    Not professing to be an expert but imagine it is a case of broadly liked Vs. unknown. Not sure if it's apples and apples.

  • what are the reviews on this monitor?

  • Quick question - my wife is using a 27" WQHD iMac running Windows 10 under Bootcamp - she needs two screens for her work. Considering the OS, ports available on this monitor and the iMac, is it going to easily be able to extend her desktop?

    • It has a DisplayPort input so I would assume so

  • Jeez, big monitors sure have come down in price last few years

    • Sure if they’re Chinese generic garbage

  • +2

    More like we can’t sell any of these monitors please take them for discount!

  • +8

    I find it really weird that an ASX-listed B2B bathroom supplier is now just selling random rebranded knock offs from Alibaba

    • Yes the exact same monitor is on alibaba lol just look it up

      • I'm not finding it anywhere on either Aliexpress or Alibabe, could you provide a link?

  • Uhhhh, how many were in stock to begin with? Expired after 1 hour OP?

    • +1

      I see you've just joined recently. 1 hour is a good run, wait until you try an eBay hourly flash deal.

      • +1

        Seconded that. Gone in 60ms for the popular items like drones, NC headphones and game consoles ;-)

        • +2

          (profanity) hell. 60ms is less time than it takes for most Aussies to send traffic to and from the OzBargain servers.

    • It's been on for a few hours. Sorry to hear that you missed out.

  • +6

    I'm going to go against the flow here - bought one, trust the company more due to their interaction with us here. Worst comes to worst Amazon is great with returns.

    • Do post feed back. I am curious too.

    • Yes let us know review

  • I got one too in the box in the garage I will bust it out tomorrow and see if it's any good.

    • I wish I bought two of these. The quality is too good for the price

      • Any feedback for us on it?

        • +2

          I submitted a customer review on Amazon, it might still pending approval

        • So far pretty good. For the price I dont think you can't go wrong.
          75 Hz over Display Port looks pretty good. I have the monitor connected to a spare PC made up of old parts so I have played a few rounds of battlefield on it and it look great except for the low FPS the old PC was throwing out but will plug it up to my main system over the weekend to see how it goes.
          The spare system doesn't have the horse power of the gaming pc so I will be able to get a better handle on how it goes when I get it connected to the gaming PC.

          For comparison I have a LG UltraGear 27GL850 27in 144Hz on my gaming setup.
