New Monitor - Can't find one in UK, import from Germany?
Discussion
I'm after a new monitor to replace my Dell S2409W 24". Had been thinking of getting a second one to go dual screen, but I've now decided I'll probably just replace it altogether with a larger (27" +) model.
I've spent hours looking arround at whats on the market, and it seems the only decent value for money 27" screen with a higher resolution than 1920 x 1080 is the Acer B273HU, running at 2048 x 1152. It also seems to be fairly well equipped with USB ports, HDMI, VGA, USB, Height-adjust and tilt etc.
Only problem is its not on sale in the UK yet, only option I can see to get one here is importing from abroad. Looked into getting one from the US but shipping will be too expensive, so I've found one on eBay Germany that works out at £349 including delivery - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Acer-B3-Business-B273HU-68cm...
Quite tempted to order as there dosent seem to be anything else on the market in that price range with the same specs. Have a couple of queries though:
1 - Does anyone know if Acer are likely to start selling this model in the UK sometime soon?
2 - Will a Germany import work OK here? I'm assuming I shouldn't have any voltage problems?
3 - Will I get stung with import TAX and Duties?

Yes you will get stung on taxes
Why would he get stung on taxes? have either the UK, or Germany dropped out of the European Union in the last couple of days? I'm sure there would have been something on the news if they had!!Yes you will get stung on taxes
