Ahhh looks like Dell has dropped the price of the monitor by $20. So using the TechRadar 7% coupon, the price is now slightly lower.…

What laptop will you be using? And what will you be using the triple screen setup for? Generally speaking I've found the Dell docks to be…

Yep, ends 26 Jul 2024 23:59.

It depends on the laptop. But generally yeah, you'd use a dock. The specific dock that will be best depends on what laptop you have. It may…

Ahhhh, great idea!

Yep - the USB 3.2 ports are USB-A. But the idea from locee below (USB hub plugged into monitor) is a great call.

Depends which model Ultrasharp. But yeah this would make for a good work monitor. I have not used it with a MacBook Pro, but a comment…

S2722QC has 99% sRGB colour vs 99.9% sRGB on the Ultrasharp linked. Same contrast ratio. IMO the 4K resolution on the S2722QC will make a…

Yep - I have done exactly that before. Double check your laptop supports video out over USB-C and HDMI at the same time just to be sure.

The [Dell S2721DS](https://www.dell.com/en-au/shop/cty/apd/210-bmmz) ($305.10 with code) is 2560 x 1440 and has a 100Hz variable refresh…

Probably just get the S2721QS, unless you have a specific device you want to connect via USB (like a laptop).

The DC is 2560 x 1440 rather than 3840 x 2160 for the QC. But yep, it works the same way like a dock.

For 24", the Dell 24 P2422HE is the cheapest option that does daisy chaining. It is currently out of stock though. The code doesn't work on…

I have run monitors of different resolutions before and never had an issue. In theory you might get some scaling weirdness on specific…

Cheaper than last time it was [posted on OzBargain](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/848460). Equal all time low, as it was posted near…

$35 would be a crazy good price. $55 is decent value, considering the features and 3 year warranty. If you don't need all the features of…

IFONLY

The 7% TechRadar coupon works on the Dell website, where the monitor is $1889.80. So this Amazon deal is much better. The TechRadar coupon…

The B64 is a great power bank, but noticeably bigger and heavier. The advantage is the larger capacity. It really comes down to how much…

The main difference is how hard it is to get the INIU half price deals. If you are lucky or quick enough, the INIU deals are unbeatable.…

Ugreen has some great deals for Prime Day (Prime Week?...), with many at all time low prices. [UGREEN 25,000mAh 3-Port Power Bank with 140W…

Yeah definitely too much load IMO on the USB-C connection to have it plugged in while in a pocket. I wouldn't recommend the VRURC T-558 in…

Yeah the main issue is the poor quality cells which are not rated for the wattage when charging a phone. So the cell will wear quite fast…

Avoid the Charmast IMO. It's not actually 5,000 mAh. I ran one through some tests and it's likely a ~3,500 mAh cell. And not a very good…

Thanks! I'm glad my obsession is useful :D

I dug out my USB-C to Lightning cable and yeah it does pull enough power to keep the B64 awake and supplying the 5V 0.1W the cable is using…

Similar to a phone. So keep it between 0º and ~45º max. So don't leave it in a hot car or in direct sunlight. If it does get left…

It depends on the power bank. Around two hours is typical, but some can charge faster and are done in a bit over an hour.

Not all the deals. But there will be plenty of Prime only deals. For those you need a Prime subscription. You can sign up for a free one…

Yeah that would be nice. I missed that one.
