For those that missed this ripper deal, I managed to convince JW to bring this back, although they weren't quite able to get it to the same price ($6 more). Again, it's not 1440p and not a gaming monitor, but you'll be hard pressed to find a 28" 1920x1080 with DVI, 2x HDMI and VESA at anywhere near this price. These will sell out fast, so grab one quick. Enjoy :)
Cheers!
Yassss! Purchased. Thanks!
you a bottom?
Nice find (again)
Insanely cheap price.
I personally need 16:10 ratio display (that size almost all manufacturers don't care about anymore). Otherwise I'd be all over this.
Want or need? What for (may I ask)?
Not sure about "need" but 16:10 is more practical for productivity.
Also 1080p is too low resolution for productivity. Good for gaming though.
Well these days its a moot point since there is 4K and various other options (my next monitor will be 4K and much larger) but back when 24" was king I always loved the extra real estate offered by 16:10 (1920x1200) - I did a lot of video rendering once, not so much anymore but still prefer 16:10. I'm not a gamer, I don't watch movies on the computer, having the extra vertical to work with is great. I used to do productivity work at the office on a 16:9 and eventually convinced the boss to buy a 16:10 for me. So much better.
I'm part of a very small minority though, which is why very few 16:10 monitors exist on the market today (Dell being the main one that comes to mind)
Yeah, my current monitor is a benq 24 inch 19:10. Power button has broken off, so it's on its last legs probably. I am dreading the day it dies. I also prefer 19:10, but dunno where I will get (a cheap one) when the time comes :(
The Dell UltraSharp U2412M is one such monitor that comes to mind, though I don't think it's a current model anymore and I'm unsure if any 1920x1200 / 16:10 replacement lived on (probably not seeing as Dell were one of the very few still making them at a reasonable price)
You're probably in the same boat as me, might be time to cough up for a 4K or similar monitor. FWIW the power button on my Dell 24" died years ago too, with some trickery I managed to keep it going though. It's dying though just like it's older twin did in 2015.
EDIT: Dell UltraSharp U2415 is another
If people want vertical space, just spin those monitors into portrait mode. A lot of people seem to be against this?
No, the thought crossed my mind too but I'm thinking 16:9 would make for a very vertically narrow experience? I've never tried it so I could be wrong. My guess is that'd only be enjoyable if you have a triple monitor setup, but after all that expense you're getting close to 4K prices which would be arguably better (and easier) for most.
Personally I wouldn't mind one of those Phillips 40" 4K's. Or even one of the Dell 32" non-4k (maybe) and go back to single setup.
Just bought a 24' Asus at 150
Where ?
I mean this deal is much better.
would this be alright for hooking up to my Xbox One?
20ms response time. If you play FPS or anything that requires quick reaction, no. This monitor is good for home/office usage rather than gaming.
For many people the delay won’t matter, mind.
If he's already playing fps with a controller, he'll be more than fine.
Great. Was hoping this deal would come around again.
Cheers OP! This is amazing.
Literally was looking at monitors for work, recently got a promotion and I'll be needing two/three screens and this will go nicely alongside my 27' iMac..
Despite the low DPI.. Going to be great.
I add PEARLER but nothing changes after 30 second of the page loading. Anyone else have this issue?
Would this be ok to use as a small tv? Cant find anything near as cheap that i could use for media
No speaker, just a reminder
But got headphone jack?
Yes
Friend, youd need some way to get tv signal to it, probably with a small pc with a tuner card or usb device. stand alone wont work as a tv
I have a chromecast (for netflix etc) and a speaker system, should have been more specific, just need something for my room but no sure if the screen size and panel would be suitable?
Was looking for a 21" w HDMI output for a smart mirror…
now I need a bigger mirror…:/
What is a smart mirror?
I'm still doing research, but pretty much a monitor hooked up to Rasp Pi, with a one way mirror in front of the monitor. ~30% transparency on the one way mirror so you can see the monitor but still get a good reflection. Commonly used to display things like weather, traffic, calenders, events - but is largely endless in terms of what you want it to display
See resources if interested

can be made to be touchscreen / follow voice commands / AI - but this is beyond me at the moment
Nice was looking for a third monitor for my rig.
Do u guys buy the warranty $26 too??
Sir, i'll need you to turn in your Ozbargain card!
?? Sorry not understand
SIR! CARD PLZ!!!!
Bought two thanks :)
Not even sure why people down vote when I bought two. I need to replace two old monitors so i'm buying two.
Probably because you didn't upvote.
good point, was too fast to jump onto the deal :)
The nuances of ozbargain.
Does anyone know if these guys use Australia post to ship? or a courier.
I bought a laptop from them recently, they don't use Australia post, Fastway delivered it.
Ah shoot. Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks! Missed out last time, but managed to pick up one.
Any recommendations on a cheap, good quality gaming monitor (widescreen, ideally ≤2ms, ≥1440p or 4k)?
Would this work as dual monitors connected to a surface pro for office use?
No, as soon as it realises it's being used for office work, it'll shut down and refuse to turn on until you connect a gaming system.
To circumvent this, try running Steam in the background, works for me.
Okay, in layman's terms, is this a good value for money monitor?
It got 80 votes in 90 minutes.
Fantastic - I needed a bigger 2nd monitor :) thanks
Can't buy. Just keep getting "A seller made some changes to an item listing." :(
Edit: Nevermind, finally just before it goes out of stock, it works!
Missed out last time. Bought 1 thanks!
Out of stock
God damn it, had to shit mid checkout, came back and all gone! What an expensive shit :(
If you think of it in a positive way, that shit saved you $165.
Sir, i'll need you to turn in your Ozbargain card! Around here we buy first then think later.
I'm just trying to make myself feel better, I mucked around too long looking at specs and deciding if I needed one, by the time I decided it was too good to pass up (durr) it was gone!
Sir, i'll need you to turn in your Ozbargain card! Around here we buy first then think later.
I'm still seeing 1 left.
You hesitate, you lose. 28 inches is a lot of real estate.
About 800k in Sydney!
Ah, sold out!
