Eric ZERO: LG IPS236開箱

Buy my first LED monitor: LG IPS236.
To remember the accurate purchase date, it's better to create an openbox article.

*******

不得已得買台螢幕給我的Mac mini接。
因為螢幕實在太大了，沒辦法帶到這裡。
所以我只好在新加坡當地買一台螢幕。
當然，我不想要花太多錢。
也考慮到以後搬家的問題，不要買太大的尺寸。

I have to buy a monitor for my desktop.
Because the monitor is hard to carry.
I don't want to spend much money.
Consider the movement in the future, big size is not important.

所以我只有以下要求：
1. 有HDMI、D-Sub、DVI
2. 有Full HD的解析度，1920*1080
3. IPS面板
4. 23吋以上，預算在SGD$250以內

I want my new monitor has the following specifications:
1. With HDMI, D-Sub and DVI.
2. Full HD resolution.
3. IPS panel.
4. More then 23 inches, my budget under S$250.

就這樣，經過價格比較，還有新加坡買得到的機器。
我列上了以下幾台：
1. Acer S242HL
2. ASUS VS239H-P
3. LG IPS234
以上幾台的售價大概都在235到249元之間。
本來屬意宏碁那台，實際成交價大概230。
但是買之前拿出手機一看，國外負面評價不少。
然後問ASUS那台，有貨的店家很少。
最後就是LG了，但是已經出到了IPS236。
價格也跟原本的IPS234一樣，最後入手這台。

Compare with the price, specs and can get it in Singapore.
There are my choice:
1. Acer S242HL
2. ASUS VS239H-P
3. LG IPS234

All of them between S$235 to $249.
Although Acer is cheapest ($230) but the spec is not good.
ASUS is not on stock. (Ask many stores.)
Finally, pick up LG.
IPS234 is old model, now has IPS236.
Same price and better specifications.

至於DELL，我想要但是省一點吧！
然後想要Samsung，因為畫面跟外型都漂亮。
不過Samsung在新加坡很貴，算了！
新加坡看起來比較低價的螢幕品牌有兩家：
Philips還有AOC。
型號非常多，賣的店也多，但是我不想買。
（Philips在這邊喜歡搭送檯燈賣螢幕）

I love DELL but it's expensive.
Samsung is beautiful, but still expensive.
Lower price can use AOC or Philips.
(Philips often bundle a lamp for free here.)

做了一下功課，知道大概的售價後。
來到了有新加坡版光華商場之稱的森林廣場。
福南購物中心規模相對比較小，不想去。

Check the price at Internet.
Come to Sim Lam Square to buy my monitor.
(Funan is small.)

問到一家店，LG IPS236賣248元。
直接問最低給到多少：245元。
省三塊去吃飯也好，其他家也一樣。
拿出銀行卡出來，把LG IPS236買回家。

Find a store who sell IPS236 for S$248.
They can sell me for S$245.
Take my debit card to purchase.

現場確認了內附排線，有DVI還有VGA。
至於HDMI線，LG的活動櫃有送。
但是現在沒貨，要我下週帶著紙箱的貼紙去換。
算了，只好下週再跑一趟。

Confirm the cable inside, includes DVI and VGA.
HDMI can get it for free. But not on stock now.
They ask me take it on next week.
