I'd look it up online for the model that meet my preference, based on the screen size, resolution, refresh rate, design, branding etc, then look for the reviews, then search for the model in lelong.com or browse through digital mall website catalogue, to compare prices, then look at their physical store location and buy straight from the shop itself after contacting them. Cos most shops usually have them in their warehouse instead and require "bookings" since they takes up space 🤔🤔

Best place to browse gaming monitors would be at PC fair...

Else, go to Lowyat and visit the few larger shops.

Is there a way to check out any sellers on lelong that might have a physical store?

Do you have links to the usual digital mall website and/or physical stores you can recommend?

Are PC fair prices still competitive? I know they were once upon a time but I'm not so sure anymore. Anyways, I know the models that I want, so I'm just looking for a place that sells it at a decent price.

Go check out Lazada and Shopee if you already know what you want. Some models are priced under SRP. But if you insist on testing the monitors then Lowyat Mall is pretty much your only destination.

If you don't mind buying a nice clean used unit, go check the garage sale section, and some still do have still a lengthy warranty period left.

Usually just click on the seller and if they state their address at the top of the website, then it's their physical store. Like these https://www.lelong.com.my/store/easyit2u and https://www.lelong.com.my/store/lingloong . But yeah, compare prices and availability first, so you get the best for your buck and convenience. I bought my gaming monitor from easyit2u since it's one of the the nearest to me and one of the few who carries the model that i wanted.

sorry if lambat reply.


You'll be surprised about the last minute deals u can get at PC fair. Most sellers dont want to bring the inventory back and are up for negotiations.

I bought a X34 monitor 2 years back, and my brother actually got a deal for RM700 less at the PC fair after like 2-3 months.

Anyways if you know what you want, find around on LYN, just check their warranty and exchange policy, my x34 had some dead pixels and bleeding issues which i dealt with Acer personally to get it exchanged.

Do note that most PC Shops dont stock up on premium monitors and would require a deposit to order it.
