Curiosity, Thoughts and Whatever...
I'm not a regular blogger just occasionally wanna share some thoughts and ideas to the rest of the world. Hope you like what you see and written.....:))
Last week my dad bought a new LCD monitor for his computer. He had been using a 17" Samsung SyncMaster CRT which I had bought way back in 2001 for RM 1000. I wanted to get him a new LCD monitor for his coming B'day but he rejected and hence told me he prefer to get it himself. Therefore reluctantly I have to figure out what else to get him. The LCD monitor was very important for him since he is surfing the net regularly and also for his business purposes.
The old CRT was working alright and it wasn't breaking down at all. However, it's huge, bulky and its a CRT (which means it emit radiation and etc) and hence not very suitable for long term usage........something like more than 6hrs of viewing every day. A LCD advantage is that it is space friendly, ergonomic, low energy consumption and above all no emission of radiation. The new LCD is also a Samsung. Its a 971P model with a 19" size and can be rotated 180 and adjusted its height and length. It is real nice, clean and with a sleek finish like a Mac monitor. I just love the look of it. Pure white and smooth edges. Check out the spec over here.
However, the main story here is not the monitor but how my dad was "con" into buying something more expensive by an acquaintance. He went down to Low Yat (as usual the best place to get computer accessories) and was planning to get a Samsung LCD in the range of RM 6xx. As he was about to pay and take the LCD monitor home, then pop-up the boss of the shop. Co-incidentally this boss is the dealer for Samsung products and knew my dad from the days he was working for SD. From then onwards he bull and "con" my dad to get a better and top of the range monitor. Needless to say my dad was poorer by RM 999 at the end of the day.
