My brother asked me about this site and honestly, I don't know what to think about it. It looks too much of a good "deal" to be true. I never heard of the monitor manufacturer, never heard of the website and the deal goes from 239$ to only 49$....

 

What are your thoughts? I just want to start a discussion here, so I will keep my suspicions for now.

      cout << s[i];
  }
  return 0;
}

i havent even clicked the link, just read the URL and im already pretty scetched out

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I have the feeling the experience would be similar to Linus's in his last video : the monitor might have dead pixels already and the product basically would be pretty bad, but since it's on the cheap, you don't feel so bad...

well... I mean, you can try yourself,
- worst case scenario : you can give us your feed back
- best case scenario : You have a new monitor for your rig.
