Looks like the deal for MSY has been beaten by Kogan by $12 due to the eBay sale. Was looking for a monitor to compliment my 13" Macbook Pro Retina and I stumbled across this UltraWide. I am aware this has been posted before at $199 but that deal has been marked as expired. It looks like an awesome futuristic monitor running at 21:9.

If I remember correctly this is just slightly higher than a 20" LCD monitor FYI. Some people aren't aware of that.
I haven't bought this for myself, because 1. I like the height of my 24" monitor and I remember how annoying I found 19.5" ones.
But 2. I actually came to the realisation that I would prefer seeing all content within the middle of my vision, ultra-wide puts more screen in your peripheral than otherwise which could lead to more immersion. And my goals are to keep some resemblance of reality when I'm working on my computer :P .
Totally a personal preference thing! Just stating this because initially I thought "omg extra wide" "omg extra pixels" "omg 25>24" but when I looked at the other details I could see it wasn't right for me.
