It might soon be time to move on from your Nokia 6210 too.

Never upgraded from the 3310 to the 6210 - not enough new features. Think I might try one of these without a keypad - seems to have survived the test of time so far

I skipped the 3D TV and curved TV fad, hopefully the next fad is good enough to make me switch my HD TV from '09

Isn't HDMI wildly out of date now, practically like going back to carriages and gas lamps?

I'm sure I recall someone mentioning there was something better (or newer at any rate).

Display Port presumably. Is that any more than HDMI with a different plug so that Apple can charge more for leads?

HDCP 2.2 ?

HDCP 2.2 is a technology designed to prevent illegal copying of 4K Ultra HD content.

Every link in your video chain must support HDCP 2.2 — your TV, video source, and any component the video signal passes through. If one does not, you won't see a 4K picture.

HDMI 2.0 is also required for TVs and components to be able to pass 4K video. But you can't assume that every device that has HDMI 2.0 will also support HDCP 2.2.

What you need to know about HDCP 2.2

HDMI 2.0 supports 4K at 60HZ

SAMSUNG 27" Curved LED Monitor S27D590C Full HD - Retail Boxed Grade A+ 12 Months Warranty, S27D590C

Just ordered this for a 2nd PC at home: it's a £250 monitor that's £160 on this site as a Grade A+ refurb.... gotta be worth a shot. Haven't used the site before but seems OK from reviews.

BTW I have the 34" curved monitor for my main home PC and it's fantastic.

34 curved - probably my last monitor - so amazing

[woohoo]

It's a big box thing they used last century to run things they called programs. Microsoft used to have something to do with them before they became the cloud company we know today.

Your answer is wrong. PCs can be housed in small and big boxes. Microsoft have many revenue streams including cloud computing.

Once upon a time it was a big burly bloke, typically an ex army NCO, that wandered the local streets and kept us safe at night.

I think your answer given the context of a technical forum is wrong.

"Product not found".

That was good then.

Damn they sold quick. There were only 10 when I ordered mine.

I saw the deal on HotUKDeals last night so must have been lucky (hopefully) to get one of the monitors.
