    Come back black friday

    I've been running a dual monitor setup with 2x2K for a good few years and decided to upgrade a bit and bought a 4K display off Amazon in the recent black Friday sale a BenQ EW3280U for £599 or £500 without the VAT. it's meant to go with my new development box an Asus PN50 4800U when I eventually get it as its overdue So I got hold of a new GTX1660Ti GPU (high end graphics cards are in serious short supply!) for the old machine and set the displays up as a triple with the 2K's either side of the 4K. The 4K is nice, so nice I want another one or two but now the prices are back at normal levels I'll have to wait until the next sales are on When the PN50 is here it'll run Linux with maxed out memory and SSD sizes and share the 4K display, should be a little beauty if the Linux drivers can handle the kit

    How interesting.

      How does that monitor compare to this one?

      I'm kinda tempted to upgrade my two single HD monitors to one large panel split into 4 x HD quarters?

          Looks at side line (dirty spekulant) business. Are you sure? I've got 3 3080's and a 3090 arriving tomorrow and the same (3 3080s and 2 5900x) on Monday.

          3080s are yours for £1000 or £1700 for the 3090 - all will be sold within 3 hours of me putting them on the bay after they arrive tomorrow.

            The idea is good but that monitor doesn't get good reviews, seems to have issues with fuzzy text and colours

              At that price you can keep them, my 1660 for just over £200 is plenty good enough for multiple big displays if you aren't into gaming.

                I'm not surprised - the only thing that is surprising me is how quickly they sell.
