just bought a S2717DG for 285 usd, good buy or nah?

[IAnthonyFX]

any comments, I still can cancel the transaction.

Something that might help is that a LOT of us here might not know what the hell a S2717DG is, so how are we to know if it is a good deal or not.  So, what is an S2717DG after all?

dell 27 inch monitor 144hz 1440p TN display g-synch

Assuming you wanted G-Sync and run an NVIDIA GFX card, then yeah that's a steal.  Where did you buy it from?

[IAnthonyFX]

I bought it from ebay, since today they have a 20% discount on everything.

Neat, yeah I have a similar monitor I bought a year ago for $399, except it's an Acer XF270HU I plucked from Microcenter, IPS is the upgrade it has over that dell but it's FreeSync (I have an RX 480) , but same specs otherwise: 27" 1440P 144Hz, and that was still a good deal then and now.

Holy crap that's a great deal. I got mine (the 23in version) for $399.

Something that might help is you googling a model number before posting on the forum asking

you know, you're right.  I should have known what a S2717DG is.  My mistake.  BTW, do you know what a FT757GX or FP757HD is?  I also have an AX17357YG in the closet that I haven't been able to figure out either.

The Yaesu FP-757HD is a heavy duty external power supply for the FT-77, FT-757GX or FT-757GXII. It provides 13.5 VDC at 20 amps for extended periods of time. This would be suitable for modes such as AM, FM and radioteletype. It supports a duty cycle of 30 minutes on / 30 minutes off. This power supply features a hard-wired cable to your compatible Yaesu transceiver. Additionally, there is a red and black terminal on the rear panel.

Nice ham setup!

Can't help you with that one. What kind of thing is it?

You do know you've already made his point.  If you have the energy to complain and throw salt like that, you have the energy to google a simple string of text rather than imitate your avatar. 

 

As you can see it doesn't appear to be that hard to use google as @sazrocks was more than willing to demonstrate on all 4 strings you provided (did you make up the last one, lol).

[kb5zue]

So.....  It was only 3 strings, not 4.  Sold both the FT757GX and the FP757HP for $600.  Still haven't gotten figured out what the AX17357YG is though.  All the writing on it is in Chinese or something similar and no box.  Obviously some sort of radio electronics device, just haven't gotten figured out what.

Fantastic deal.  I got mine for $350 and I thought that was a steal.  I love the thing.
