 Posted: 02 Jun 2009, 19:50 Post subject: Finding a cheap ass 30 incher lulz |
|
|
Guys, i'm searching for a 30 inch screen (for pc ofcourse) with the lovely 2560x1600 ;D
The problem is money.. MONEY MONEY ALWAYS THE MONEY LOL so i was searching in the USA so it will be cheaper because of the dollar (hope the shipping is not that much).
Anyways, i was thinking about the Samsung SyncMaster 305T
And found this by searching Google > Shopping listed as the cheapest:
Now thats great, because i've never seen a 720 dollar 30inch in my entire life, lol.
Strange thing is; they also got the same monitor on the same website for double the price ^^:
Q: So i was wondering if the 1st one maybe is a refurbished one or so? What do u guys think?
I also found this monitor at another company which was refurbished for around the same cheapass price but i don't think i want that:
And here is the list in Google ;o:
It's about the 1st and 2nd which are that cheap ;D
Q: Maybe u guys have other tips about buying a giant arse monitor? or maybe you guys could convince me to 'just' buy a 24" 1920x1200 monitor =)

I wouldn't buy one in the US. Those things are heavy, so postage costs will be a lot. You may find that if it goes wrong you have no warranty, and you may also get stung by customs when it's sent over and end up paying a shedload of tax.
I find that a lot of stuff is cheaper in the UK. Before I go over I tend to order a lot of stuff and bring it back (just got back with a carload of shit from a new satellite PVR to boxes of Cadburys Fingers). Pop over in a car (ferry costs 40 quid return from Dunkirk) and pick it up
