Walked into my local computer shop today, only went in there because I was bored waiting for the wife to have lunch with the mother-in-law.
Anyway, since I'm looking for a widescreen tft (thinking of getting the Hyundai N91W) I thought I'd see what they had in. They only stocked a couple of different models, but had in stock and on display the Video7 19" widescreen that is currently available here for £126 inc vat. So after having a little look at it, and the salesman telling me I would struggle to find a 19" widescreen tft that has a DVI input, I asked how much it was. Imagine my shock and eagerness to buy said monitor when he told me, "It's ONLY £179". I explained politely that I would have to sell my current monitor first to get some money to put towards my new one. I explained I had a iiyama Vision Master Pro514 22" CRT, at which point the other salesman laughed and said "You'll get nowt for that, CRT's aren't worth anything nowadays." Don't you just love local stores, where the shear knowledge and charm of the staff, and there constant low prices just keep you coming back for more.
Now I know not all local stores are this bad, however I'm just very unlucky, as there's not a decent computer store within about 60 miles of me. So thank you OcUK cos I'd be proper stuck without you.

He proceeded to explain that I could buy a presler instead, 3GHz bla bla...I thought to myself..."yeah, 3GHz presler w00t, NOT" :| Keep your presler to yourself, thank you very much and goodbye.
