This will be a very significant downgrade from the 5K iMac display.

Nvidia Control Panel (if you enable GPU scaling) will allow you to do 1:1 scaling in the middle of the screen. However, I think you'll find...

Would also recommend the APS-C version since it has OSS (Image Stabilisation), whereas the FE lens does not. Most Sony A-series cameras...

Isn't this the normal sign up bonus? Anyway these transfer to frequent flyer programs at 3:1, Airpoints at 180:1.

That post's regarding the Kogan one, not the HP one linked in OP.

Lag won't be an issue on this particular display, since it uses DisplayPort alt mode instead of DisplayLink over USB 3.0

encryptededdy replied to Wombatstew on HP EliteDisplay S14 USB Portable Monitor $198 Delivered @ Landmark Computers
No. You'll need a portable monitor with a separate HDMI input. I personally use the MSI MAG161V. Alternatively, if you upgrade to a RTX...

Yep, unless you plan to spend >$1000/m on the Visa, which is unlikely if you have the Amex around.

I think the main thing is a private seller won't take on the risk of fraud/chargebacks, even if you pay the fee. Your minimum spend is...

You probably can't pay rent, but the utility and internet company I use do allow CC payments with no surcharge.

Well you have 12 months to achieve it. Personally I find I spend >$12k on credit cards annually anyway. That's $1000/mo. If you don't, then...

Kinda. That was 1500/mo for 6 months though, so more annoying to meet.

Would not recommend the keyboard, it's kinda bad (kickstand attaches using microsuction adhesive which is a bit questionable)
