        If you are looking for bulk. I would suggesting phoning a few IT resellers to see if you can get some old OEM gear.

          That would keep costs down.

            I used FreeCycle and the freebies groups on facebook to pick up 3 monitors of late!

            I only need one, but you never know…

              I bought this monitor when it first came out as it was on sale at the time.
              The screen is absolutely beautiful with excellent color accuracy and viewing angles.
              The monitor itself is very well designed and appealing to look at it. My only complaint would be a lack of mounting points on the back so your only option is it sitting on a desk.

                I know here [US] people buy new computers and want to get rid of their old ones… and they usually have a flat panel monitor with them …

                Also look for 'Refurbished" monitors…

                That’s kind of how I’m getting the 40" tv for my next project… my parents… it quit working so they told me I could have it and I believe it is just the backlighting that quit working and the part is like 20.00 US…

                  Ultrawide all the way. If you’re happy with the height, go 29" 2560x1080 and save yourself £200.
