Thread: Xenarc Monitors in UK

Falken, I know it is the VAT man, pushing it up, but £465 takes it a bit rich for me.

Thats more than my car cost, Yes the Saab Turbo was under £400, never mind what I've spent on the PC (that is cobbled from bits.

£395 is what I'd be looking at too as its that £400 barrier that puts me off.

I assume that the £375 per unit importing via the US does not include VAT either?

Hmmm, the way I see it that since you'd be looking at 5 to get the discount, if you import them from the US you run the risk of being charged import duties on top of the US price and then VAT on top of that as Customs are likely to look at a package that is insured for in essence $2750 ($550 US street price for 700TS)???

However, going via the UK route I imagine this is less likely as customs aren't involved???

BTW you aren't comparing like for like, since the US sourced ones have touchscreen yet the price you got for the UK one is for the 700Y which doesn't have touchscreen. That's a $80 diff in price alone going by the US prices?

I know it will be a lot less bright, and I will have to work on improving the back light without washing out the display, but I'm edging back the $190 100nit full VGA kit from united Appliances that I found before, as the MK1 screen, with an add on touchscreen. That way I could get the screen and a touch screen for under $300, even if I will have to work on it.

The prices I've quoted include all of the charges. Import duty, VAT, bank charges, shipping and postage here in the UK.

Ennovations have quoted me for the touchscreen model 700YY which I think is the 700TS.

Yeah, that was why I said your prices were fair. I got the template quote Excell from them, and got it to about the same.

Falken,

Oh OK then.

I just wanted to make sure as you mentioned the 700Y was enough for your needs. I guess the extra Y makes all the difference

I'm seeing if anyone else I know wants one so I'll get back to you.

TBH, I'm probably going to order direct from enNovation.

the 100nit cheap TFT that I found in the US for $190 (with controller etc) was going to cost an additional $92 shipping for 4-5 day fedex.

add to that the 100+ GBP that a touchscreen will cost from a UK supplier, plus if customs pick up the parcel, athe VAT and import duty. It really just wouldn't be worth it.
