Nice, never actually tried a curved screen, not sure how I'd get along with one, this would be a good way to find out...
Same here, always looked interesting, but usual right out of my 'bottom of the barrel' price range.Quote:

Yet another UK only giveaway, might as well limit website to UK only too.
Is that not down to the company supplying the prizes and where they're willing to post them?Quote:

Nah. It's clearly reduced lag. Light only travels so fast, bringing the edges of the screen closer means events which happen in those areas will reach your eyes quicker.Quote:

Great prizes, many thanks to Hexus and Iiyama.
No idea what the reason is or who decides that. I just know that there used to be a lot more giveaways and only some of them were UK only and some Europe only, now there barely are any and almost all are UK only.Quote:

It is up to the prize supplier, and the reason is probably that shipping stuff around the world is a bit of a pain at the moment.
Probably got tired of people complaining that they didn't win...
Thanks guys for a chance at least
It's the same for UK residents when we go on the American forums.
"HEXUS.net is the UK’s number one independent technology news and reviews website." -- from the about us page.Quote:

Yes and no.Quote:

Was not a serious discussion.....Quote:

Nice monitor. Thanks, Hexus & iiyama!
The Winners will be auto drawn from the system this week and 4 lucky people will get emails
As with all Competitions, they get a link to click and it allows them to confrim themselves as winners and provide the details for shipping.
Keep your fingers crossed people... 4 lucky people
Yeah, see if you guys actually send the emails out to the right email address this time eh ;)
I officially give up with them now. Think after 14 years of trying it is now time to give up. More chance of you lot winning.Quote:

Doesn't matter if people stop entering, you still only have a 50/50 chance, you will either win, or you won't ;)
Ah, but it's not about chance, though, it's about the odds... and some people on here are very odd!Quote:

Worrying!
I have found recently that a lot of Hexus emails go to spam, I report them as 'not spam' obviously but I'd guess-timate maybe 25% don't go into my inbox :/
That's two more chances, Kovie - One for each of us!Quote:

so did win 'some' thing, just not a monitor. or that scan £2500 one that closed this week.
It ain't going to happen but. We're not born with a golden spoon unfortunately.
I'll take that.Quote:
