so i have found a cheap 144hz, 1080p, 1ms, 24inch monitor on ebay that is new but i seems super cheap for a monitor of this spec and i know the ebay seller can be trusted i have bought from them before but can the brand (iiyama) of the monitor be? personally i have never heard of them before

i really don't think buying 1080p monitors on ebay is the best idea. that's like going to the pawn shop and trying to get clean water, when you just go to mini market and get it for cheaper and have better water.

 

 

i don't know where i'm going with that but don't buy anything but 1440p or 4k on ebay

iiyama? What kind of brand is that? Never heard of it. I guess don't buy stuff on ebay because you'll never know if it's a scam or not once you received it. 

 

the seller is an official seller and company this is there site http://www.scan.co.uk/ i have also bought from them before plus if it is a scam i can contact ebay and get my money back

The brand is good, i used to have a 22" iiyama monitor, they are quite decent for the price.

Owning one of those. The X2783HSU B1 to be specific. Not a bad monitor at all. Running it for 6 months and not a single issue. Colours are fantastic for the pricepoint. Can't say anything negative about it.

Bye LTT. That was an interesting journey on this board. At least here you see how not to do it. I'll go shaking my head about this place.

scan? or scam? Either way, if people are justifying this monitor, I'ma buy this thing. Not from eBay though

The company selling to product is Scan Computers. They have a online store and eBay store.

If you have dealt with them before there isn't anything wrong with buying it and trying it out.

 

If it busts in a couple months you can always buy a more expensive one or even get a refund depending on if eBays policies are the same. as they used to be (easy to get refunded).

I'm not sure why they're selling it on Ebay, but Scan are a very reliable site, I have used it many times and have been delighted with their service.

If you don't want to buy it from Ebay then you can get it from Scan.co.uk for the same price:
