OT: Monitor, low quality, regretful purchase, good price...

I bought this early in lockdown, then almost immediately regretted not spending that bit more. But, I couldn't be bothered, so I stuck with it and it worked fine. It is significantly bigger than my laptop screen and allowed me to do work on it. That said, it's a bit washed out and the screen can get strange lines across it when the hdmr isn't pushed in properly. Anyway, my work gave everyone a 'wfh stipend' so I upgraded to a better monitor and now this is kicking about not doing anything. Cosmetically condition is A+, functionally it's exactly the same as when it came out of the box. I think a new hdmr cable properly screwed in may fix that issue (it's not a problem 99% of the time, and when it happens just jiggling the cable makes it go away) and someone with more patience/knowledge may be able to adjust the settings such that it looks a bit less washy.

I'm really selling it, right? Anyway, this is the amazon listing: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B016UPDUBO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - £65 new, I'll take £25 from anyone who can come and collect from N1.

Cheers

£23? No-one wants an entirely serviceable monitor with no wow-factor but an excellent price?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
