New Samsung Screen

[BloodrayneZA]

Hi guys and ladies

My 10 year old Samsung Syncmaster 23 has given up the ghost.

now I need a new screen - my housemate has offered to put it on his flexi credit account and I’ll be paying him off, he told me to get the best one and we will spread the cost. I just don’t want to end up owing him too much so let’s keep it practical and realistic.

Ideally I want one functional for gaming, streaming and studies. And. 10 years is a long time for a screen, I want another Samsung screen close to size as my old one, maybe slightly bigger.

we’re using Curry’s PC world online and I have a few options for Samsung

my first option - https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/compu...ull-hd-24-led-monitor-black-10198978-pdt.html

or pay a little more and go for this one

It lasted well
My Samsung 24 inch Syncmaster is still running daily at home since 2010
Touch wood

27 inch is awesome, Im running on 2 of those as dual screen at work. You wont be sorry with that size

Yeah I had a faulty panel replaced just short of its 3 year warranty and it was a common fault with a black line across the screen.

it was so worth paying R1800 in 2009

Nice, yeah I paid R2000 in 2010
It has served me very well over these years and I am still gaming on it
But its old tech so I am looking forward to a newer tech screen soon
Something brighter, coz im struggling in my old age in the dark scenes in games like Skyrim etc

why a curved 24" when a flat 27" is cheaper if i may ask?

 

[Papa Smurf]

oh wait, 144 Hz

144Hz

 

[Papa Smurf]

My eyes are old, i can only see 25 fps so anything more than that is just a waste on me

 

[BloodrayneZA]

Nice!!! I wish I could do that. I’m sure I can make a plan somehow

If i could afford it, I’d take that one but already ordered the 27” one. Then I must work out payment instalments - housemate said to pay what I can afford.

I get £190.62 a week and pay £400 rent a month then there’s my essentials like food. Going to have to do a serious cutback til I pay him off.

Yikes, when I left IBM in April 2000 I was on £21 per hr working a 35hr week minimum. There was always overtime as well.
Yeah take it easy on the expenses there, every penny counts

HD (1080p) on 27" isn't worth it. 24" HD (1080p) or 27" QHD (1440p).

I have both.

144Hz

Only useful if your GPU can handle it.

HD (1080p) on 27" isn't worth it. 24" HD (1080p) or 27" QHD (1440p).

I have both.

I'm running 1080p here at work on both 27" monitors and love it. Then again I am 49 and have outlived my peen. So size matters when it comes to old age

 

[biometrics]

already ordered the 27”

Cancel it and get the 24". You're deaf not blind. Save yourself the 50 pounds. Will help the budget.

27" at HD is kak, just huge pixels.

 

[Papa Smurf]

Wait, my bad, just checked. Im running 2560 x 1440 on both 27" Mac monitors
