| Oct 12, 2018 at 8:42 | comment | added | Нет войне | @FranckDernoncourt it is a pain, but I just thought it is probably less difficult than buying monitors and selling them again in such a short timeframe. Some TVs are low-res, some are 4K - though I know a 'TV' often isn't really a good monitor. | |
| Oct 12, 2018 at 8:35 | comment | added | Franck Dernoncourt | @topomorto it's difficult for an employee to take company equipment back home. TVs have typically low resolution and/or are too large (>32-inch diagonal), and I need more than 1 computer monitor. | |
| Oct 12, 2018 at 8:33 | comment | added | Нет войне | Do you not have any contacts in HK? Surely any office-based business has a couple of these spare and most people who work for such a business might be able to borrow one. Also I'm wondering - if you're in a hotel or Airbnb or similar, why not just use the TV? | |

This is actually a great question worth for me to do some local research on - hold tight. | |
| Oct 12, 2018 at 5:57 | comment | added | B.Liu | For your question in the comment, there are quite a number of electronic/computer shops in Mong Kok, Wan Chai, and Sham Shui Po that buy/sell electronics including computer monitors. Two caveats: 1) They usually don't do websites - walk ins (and cash) only, 2) Nowadays lots of them focus on phones as they are more profitable, and you need to be more paitient. | |
