yes its a dog , not the same as you expected with 4 legs , but still a dog


your acer link refered to the WRONG monitor , verified by your posting saying "Hi there,

I can confirm that the model number for the monitor included in this bundle is UM.WW3EE.005. "

Another one? How is it possible? Is there something in the tap water?

I have also found answers in the Q&A to be wrong and since it is not Argos themselves advertising it as such, I posted the older monitor. That way, the newer monitor being delivered would be a bonus.

Either way, it makes no difference to the OP.

Perhaps you can offer the OP a review of the monitor.....or is it yet another useless article?

CPC farnel ( my link above) had those in stock - the later one with HDMI, but with damaged outer boxes , I got mine for £40 + vat , as I am local and spotted them in the corner on offer


by default the screen display is to bright , and needs darkening


ok at £40 , prob ok at £80 ,

£40 plus VAT is not £40 to the consumer.

So you mean "ok at £48". To be fair, I wouldn't pay £80 for that monitor. £60 would be a good price.

Either way the package at £161.49 is good value for the OP, as it's new with a full warranty.

You must be the jelly baby...or perhaps your brain is too small to interpret my writings.

I think both are the case.

Allow me to help you. What I wrote was to mean that I would price the monitor at a value of £60 within the bundle, leaving a cost of just over £100 for the base unit.

So the fact that you paid £48 for the damaged box monitor was good for a monitor worth at least £60.

So there was no argument. Only you babbling on uselessly as to whether the monitor has an HDMI port or not.

your link to the monitor at acers website was to the wrong model supplied in the deal .


right or wrong?

Acer XC-215D 21.5 Inch 4GB 1TB Windows 8.1 Monitor & Desktop Bundle - Black. £161.49

Brand new with a twelve month warranty.

AMD E2-6110 1.5 GHz,
4 GB RAM,
1TB HDD,
DVDRW,
WLAN,
Integrated Graphics, HDMI
Windows 8.1 64 bit

Just a word of caution on this model if anyone intends to buy it and upgrade to W10 as there appears to have been a potential firmware bug causing issues which was only fixed on 28/6/2016 so perhaps that's why they are being sold cheaply. Upgrade firmware before upgrading to W10:

1, Fix system no boot and power led blinking after W10 Upgrade.

2, BIOS not full PSP device SSID.
