After attending Tandberg Data product briefing, I went over to Funan.

 
 

Looking around, updating myself on new consumer products. Wifi router with  802.11ac

I have been buying unnecessary items but one thing never occur to me is the display monitor I look at most of the time every day. I think it is time to get a new one. I then proceed to look at display monitors. Dell 23" caught my eye. South Asia is selling at $209. I went to another shop and the staff told me that glossy display is not good for long time working and HDMI could not display full resolution ... 

 
 


 
 

There is a Dell showroom and I walked into the showroom to ask about the monitor. 

The staff showed me another model (Dell UltraSharp U2312HM) with adjustable stand matt surface, DVI input but without HTMI . I have to decide on which one to get at a difference in price of $50. In the end I opted for the stand paying $270 for the older model with matt surface.

 
 

According to the staff Yun Luo Yeo (Tel: 84489225), if cash and carry, I have to pay the list prise, but if build to order, then I can get a discount and the item will be delivered free of charge in 5 days' time.

 
 

Another item I looked at is the keyboard which I also use every day. Surprise to find that there isn't any USB keyboard with touchpad except those wireless one from Logitech.

 
 

The two available models are :

  • Logitech Wireless All-in-One Keyboard TK820 S$125 (SA)
  • Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 S$58 (SA)
