Any MacBook users with Benq 3280U monitor? Can review the monitor’s performance? Does it work well with MacBook M1?

For Dell, monitor purchase, I am in dilemma to extend the warranty from 3Y Basic Hardware Service with Advanced Exchange after remote diagnosis to 3Y ProSupport with Advanced Exchange after remote diagnosis or 4Y Basic Hardware Service with Advanced Exchange after remote diagnosis. Both also same, cost extra RM 131.13

with that amount of cost I will go ahead on 4th year for another 1 year peace of mind

Thank you so much for the respond. I know right, I have decided to extend it till 5 years with more additional charges, just for peace of mind

And 1 more question, if I would like to connect my windows laptop USB C together with my MacBook Pro USB C to the monitor at the same time, since my windows will utilised the USB C port, then how can I connect to my MacBook? Either HDMI or Display Port? Then which 1 is recommended? And in this case, the HDMI or Display Port will not be able to charge my MacBook unlike the USB C port I guess.

Since both are Laptop with no HDMI/DP port then of course up to you to select either Type-C is kinda quick-connect

I prefer DP over HDMI and connect Laptop to Type-C Hub to take advantage of the DP/HDMI port to Monitor

Take advantage of Monitor Type-C to charge my laptop seems will increase the power usage at the Monitor itself I just don't like it

If you're thinking of getting both device online at same time with the same monitor maybe should consider Hub & Switch adapter

Does anyone know whether Samsung G8 has a Smart TV function in Malaysia, like using it to access Netflix?

If your Samsung G8 is referring to Odyssey OLED G8, then YES it has Smart TV function & you're able to access Netflix.

Ah... Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am referring to Samsung OLED G8. I might be getting Ultrawide OLED by the end of this year, but I am not sure to go for G8 or Alienware DWF...

any kind person willing to tell me that if

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to use a credit card installment plan on the Dell website? I'm planning to buy an Alienware monitor, however, I'm unable to choose the installment option when I try to check out. Has anyone had any experience with this?

Lazada, shopee and qoo10 allows 0% installment right on the website, but only if the purchase is more than 200.
Msia site im not sure, for Dell i dont think they provide installment unless explicitly stated on their website.

why use official dell website? it's more expensive imho
