Does your neck hurts using the 49 inch? I had problem with 3x24 inch. Also, any particular reason why the seller took a 3080 for trade?

Wow. Paycheck removed…but nice!

Do you mind saying how you fared for pricing? Purchase/trade-in value? Understood if it’s a rather not talk about it topic.

Enjoy!

No issues thus far on neck pain. Used it mostly for gaming right now .

He builds and sells systems and components new and used.
He can build a lower priced system using my 3080.

I ended up paying 1k for the gpu. finding a used 4080 super or not seemed impossible or impractical with ebay pricing ending up at damn near new price. I ate alittle bit on my 3080 for trade in. But it kept the out of pocket price where I wanted and didn't have to hustle around trying to sell a used 3080 which seem plentiful now.

Monitor I got for $600

I am happy you didn’t get hosed on the trade in value. Agree that you could have sold for more (with hassle/time/dealing with annoying people/possible shipping), but a builder isn’t going to pay top dollar. Seems like a reasonable/realistic trade in offer for both parties IMO…especially for the convenience factor.

Keep us posted on your gpu and monitor thoughts after you get some gaming/use time in! Have fun!
