Gravy on Alienware 27" Dual-Resolution IPS Gaming Monitor AW2725QF $449.46 (Was $599) Delivered @ Dell

Higher frame rates, but IMHO 4k is way overkill for 27 inch and 1080P is too little! A 1440P 27 inch screen with ~250hz or above would be…

botchie on GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 GAMING OC 16GB Graphics Card $2599 + Delivery ($0 NSW C&C) @ Dcomp

5000 series is built on the same lines as 4000, so the simple answer is they were all sold through.

jinntonic on Philips Hue Gradient PC Strip 32-34" $67.99 Delivered @ Amazon AU

Wow , they're really not worth $200+ each, what a rip off. They're not really worth the sale price either!

Man, these do NOT work with curved monitors (only 1800R) - it pops out of the mounting. It's going back! If anyone in Sydney missed out and…
