I'm looking to buy couple of 32" 4k monitors. Not looking for anything fancy, cheaper the better. I think they mostly go for around (or tiny bit over) 300 on trademe from what I've seen. Something like a samsung uj59 would be ideal. Just checking if someone here is looking to get rid of one or two?

Only requirement is vesa mounting, dp or hdmi ports, 32", and 4k.

I'm in auckland.

You mean new? Because there are few models I can buy new right now for 550-600 range.

From what I've seen they'll be broken and asking as new new prices

I wouldn't imagine they would be anything great, you'd get a better panel for the price at 27-28", e.g. https://pp.co.nz/product/ab09820/

Quite a big difference in usability for 4k monitors between 28" vs 32". I don't think anyone in their right mind would use 4k on a 28" with no scaling (100%) - you'd want something like 1440p for a 27-28" screen. However 32" is usable without scaling at 4k.

Wanting for gaming, office, graphics ? If just wanting for office, Kogan probably fine, but if want good refresh and response, then $$$ counts.

These come up on sale for $599 every now and again. I got one a couple of weeks back. Cheapest IPS 4k 32 I could find. Doesn't blow my socks off but its fine for home use.

Home office use as secondary monitors (using an oled as primary - so I have gaming, good color and response covered).

I've been using old philips 40" 4k screens before but just downgrading to the 32" 4k screens as they can easily be mounted to the desk. Was using couple of Samsung uj59 (32" 4k va panel) which were good enough for the job, but they broke during my last move =/

I guess the main thing is, if the Kogan screen is better or equivalent to Samsung uj59 panels, and is there a big benefit of buying new (can definitely buy those Samsung ones secondhand for 300-350 mark, just need to wait a bit).
