    Finally put a PC together after dwelling on it for the last year or so. The last few days of though I’ve been wracking me brain looking at monitors. I’ve been looking for 144hz with Freesync, and set myself a budget of €200 which I now realise would be pushing my luck a bit for this spec. Came across a couple of sub-€200 Asus and Acers, but reading into them learned that the Asus was one of the first 144hz panels made and is a bit outdated and that specific Acer is probably the worst one you could buy. I’ve been going around in circles since.

    Anyway I came across Box.co.uk earlier and then saw this Samsung monitor for £150 before delivery: https://www.box.co.uk/LC24FG73FQUXEN-Samsung-C24FG73-23.5-Full-HD-Curved-Fr_2136583.html

    Looking into that specific monitor I found it’s over £100 cheaper on that site than on Amazon and most other sites. The website looks grand and all but I can’t shake the feeling that the price seemed a bit too cheap.

    Can anyone here vouch for them?

    Strange one, it came up as ‘Available for pre-order, due for release October 2nd’ when I linked it earlier. I went ahead and ordered it then anyway, and it says it’s due to ship on the 2nd. Hopefully it being unavailable now means the stock they were getting has all been ordered and not that they won’t be getting any in at all.

    It was £165 on Amazon the other day and the 27 inch was £208 (£220 now). I got an order in for the larger panel.

    Also managed to get a Lenovo Y27G (has GSync) for £179 on Currys eBay that should be delivered to AddressPal on Monday.
