Hi Everyone,

Right, straight too it - I want to know what you look for in a monitor and the money you would be prepared to pay for this piece of visual perfection?

I know you want a 34" curve g-sync for £99 - but this is not realistic in regards to spec and price.

Of course, I know you want it to not have BLB or dead pixels, but I am more wanting to know spec

let me know!
 
Thanks all for the responses to far, great to see a) the variety but also b) the similarities!

So you know, there were 2 reasons for this thread;

1) idle curiosity
2) gives me some real good info to pass back to HQ

this is the perfect arena to discuss things like this - you never know who is watching lol
 
Aside from showcasing specs that people want, the other point to the thread from my side was to be able to showcase that if a monitor can be produced by any manufacturer that covers off all the specs, along with great build quality, no issues and a good warranty then money almost becomes irrelevant (to an extent, nobody would pay £5k for it, but if a 144Hz 1ms OLED ultrawide with all the bells and whistles came along for £2500 meaning people could be confident in their monitor purchase lasting the technology growth for 4-5 years then it would be bought)

my personal opinion is that every manufacturer has the ability to make the most amazing screen - the issue is actually taking the plunge as the price may seem inhibitive as to how many would be sold - if you sell 5 a month its not financially viable.

Monitor prices are crazy, the fact that you can pick up a 24" 2ms VGA DVI HDMI for under £90 inc vat delivered is astonishing, then you look at the other end of the spectrum and the spec of the £1k+ screens offers good value for money when all taken into consideration (assuming its not a bad panel QC of course).

sadly the markets requirement on volume cheap monitors means that manufacturers lean this way eg; we are launching 32MP58HQ - 32" 1920x1080 IPS HDMI - rough MSRP £219.99 INC - this is because there is a growing market for people who want a large monitor but don't want to have to pay £4-500 for it. I don't think this would appeal to anyone here, but there are a lot of people who would part with £220 of their hard earned money to get a 32" at this price.
 
Like I said earlier though, brexit has played a big part in increased pricing and sadly, things will only get worse :([/QUOTE]


so true - dollar devalued 20%, and seeing as everything is manufactured in USD you would expect the price increase to reciprocate this 20% - albeit this hasn't been the case, many worked tirelessly to re-negotiate supply to decrease this to 10-15%
