My Samsung Syncmaster 2494hs is Dead

If I remember correctly I think I bought this monitor between 2009 to 2010, it served me well, it's a good monitor, have built-in speakers but kind of heavy though. I think I bought it for $3xx.

So just now I threw it away, went to Courts to buy a new monitor. This time bought LG, model is 27MK430H, S$249, these days monitor really cheap. This model have so many features so I think it is a steal.

And also, these days monitors don't seem to come with built-in speakers, no wonder it's so much lighter. So I also bought a Creative Pebble speaker for S$39.90, it's wired so a bit messy but whatever la, have sound is good enough, but the sound quality is pretty good.

Update:

Just an update after using the new monitor and speaker. I like the monitor so far, great value for money. The speaker sound quality is good also, but one problem is when turned on, it will produce a noise which sounds like harddisk spinning, I think last time my cheap Logitech speakers also have this issue, this S$39.90 is not that cheap but still have this issue, but then if blast music it's actually pretty good though, so if can pay more might as well get a better one, good thing I'm not that into music, mostly just watching movies so it's ok I guess.

Hi

Can check what are the ports on your new LG monitor? Does it have DP, HDMI input from PC and audio out to speakers? Looking for a monitor too. Tks

Hi,

There are only two types video ports on my new monitor, HDMI and VGA. There is a audio output to speaker/headphone, currently it's connected to the Creative Pebble.

I put up a picture for your reference. Cheers!

The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
