    Revolut cashback should (I've not tested it) get you another 3% back, and if you have access to a corporate loyalty code they seem to apply on top of the listed price (e.g. I can knock another 10% off it through my employer's discount scheme, so could conceivably get it for €136 after those both apply)

    Thanks OP. I've ordered 2 of these as I was looking for an upgrade for my home office. I used a student code obtained by my son so was charged 296.15eur. I paid with Revolut.

    Yes it has 2, also has an audio line out port which I think might facilitate basic speakers or headphones.

    1. Security-lock slot | 2. Power connector | 3. HDMI 1.4 ports | 4. Audio line-out port

    Need at least 1440p resolution for 27 inch to be honest.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 844 ✭✭✭WildCardDoW


    Not if it's for work IMO - depends on the field obviously but code is code / Excel is Excel and this would be grand for that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,847 ✭✭✭Zardoz


    If you write code or use Excel then the difference between 1080p and 1440p on a 27 inch is huge.

    I used to have a 1080p 24 inch but changed to a 32 inch 4k a few years back and its like night and day and no more eye strain.

    Couldnt go back.

    For things like coding and excel this resolution is garbage.

    But, for the price you can't really complain.

    I was tempted by the monitor myself, but decided against it as I'm using a 1080 monitor working from home that is either 22 or 24 inches and the reduced pixel density couldn't but be noticeable.

    Were I using it for gaming or movies and sitting back a bit that'd be totally different, but extra physical area without getting extra usable area is no good to me for work.

    I stand corrected.


    It seems I need to upgrade my monitor and enter the 1440p world haha.
