Fantastic. been watching that on TAL and it hasn't gone below R 2 200 - 2 300
You forgot it's also an IPS monitor.

Very happy with my pair, the thin bezels are really cool until you hang a web cam off it and can't see the windows close button!

Really? I'm surprised. I figure most manufacturers consider 24 and lower to be more entry level, even if they do sometimes add high-end specs like IPS panels.

Dell p series 24" can swivel.. size does not dictate whether it's entry level.. more quality of the panel, refresh rate, Res etc..

Definately. All depends what you need in the monitor. That 19" Dell mentioned above will cost you more than the average 24" because it has swivel, built in USB Hub as well as DP / HDMI / VGA connectivity options - definately not the norm for your average 19" screen.

Edit: You guys talking about tools, toolkits and screws in this thread, well, made me think of something else, and, to reiterate your statement...size does not dictate whether it's entry level cause if you only have a (19") panel with a high refresh rate, it still does the job and, well don't *they* just love it? :sneaky:

My HP Z24 can also swivel, even though it was built in the dark ages...

Yeah its more a case of 'you can't have your cake and eat it' - the 24" Dell mentioned above is below 2k and with 75hz refresh so dont expect more features like swivel if you don't want to pay more.

Kind of thinking we applied on telkom/service providers to drive down costs

Yeah really not a bad price for a samsung evo. Landed price including customs would be R2100

I recently looked at upgrading my Kingston A1000 series NVMe and after some deliberation settled on the A2000 series which is the one replacing the A1000.

Best price I could find was at pclinkshop and got the 500GB model for R1257, I see price is now slightly higher at R1292. I stay a stone throw away from their roodepoort office so was easy to collect, that said these guys's service levels are not what they used to be, lots of people complaining about order delays etc, so if I did not stay so close to chase them up I would rather buy somewhere else for slightly more, even with them offering free delivery on this item.
I even alerted them to the fact that of the 3 models (250GB / 500GB / 1TB) in the A2000 series only the 250GB has the correct picture on their website and up to today they did not even care enough to fix it - can be confusing when the title says one thing and the picture is incorrect - something which seems to be the norm on their international .com site.

The kingston has decent specs as in R/W of 2,200/2,000MB/s, so not totally up there with the Samsung but I reckon still good value for money and obviously with a local warranty.

Edit: I see the kingston comes with a 2 Million MTBF and 5 year / 350 TBW rating compared to
1.5 Million MTBF and 5 year / 300 TBW for the Samsung so all in all I'm happy with my purchase.
