Looking for new monitor

Hi all,

Looking for some up to date advice on monitors to give context I’m looking to upgrade from a 1080p 240hz to hopefully the same refresh rate but also better resolution, but today there’s so many different panel types (OLED, QOLED, etc)that it’s hard to know what’s the ‘current gen’.

Today I do have dual monitor setup so ideally I would want to get one good main one again and a secondary monitor OR a massive ultra wide I think Samsung have an odyssey line or something close to that?

Any recommendations are welcome price range is anywhere up to €800 really as I see they get expensive fast now.

Rtx 4070 ti super

Hello lads, I currently have my 4070 Ti Super Asus ProArt unused because I recently upgraded my GPU. I'm planning to sell it, but I'm not sure what price I should ask for it. It's still under warranty and has the original box. Any ideas?

Playstation Portal resolution issues

I got the ps portal recently, however I cannot make it work. The Wi-Fi signal is 'Strong', but the resolution keeps falling from 1080p to 720p after 5 minutes of starting.

I am on virgin media 1Gb broadband, router is virgin media hub 6, my ps5 is on WiFi I cannot wire it unfortunately, however I have seen people having their PS5 on wifi and playing on portal with 1080p with no issues.

Has anyone faced this issue?

Anyone know someone willing to part with their old skylanders?

Looking for the two pictured.
Randomly got the urge to get into these games but finding it hard to get a decent price.
Wondering if anyone here might know someone or some place that would sell them for a reasonable price.

CRT TV

I am based in Kildare, looking to find a CRT TV but the prices on adverts at the moment are a bit mental for smaller consumer sets.

Have tried local recycling center with very little luck and asking relatives and neighbours.
