    Anybody know of any good tech shops around Galway or even County's around Galway? Curry's and Argos seem to be useless.

    You won't find any. Buy online or on Adverts.

    we have no shops that display decent monitors and that's why I love going to the Saturn stores in Germany, floors and floors of PC peripherals

    Was in Best Buy in New York a few months ago. Pity there's nothing like it here.

    There's no market for it here. It's less than 1% of the computer buying public would even know that these are a thing, never mind would want one. :)

    PC World have the following 144Hz monitors for order & collect, so it's reasonable to expect they'd have store stock.

    AOC G2460Pf
    SAMSUNG C24FG73

    However you'd be paying a €50-100 premium over buying online.

    The store in Galway has a few monitors on display, last time I was there anyway. At one point they had G-Sync QHD 144hz panels even, but I don't think they stock the higher-end stuff anymore as they probably weren't selling at all.

    There's a guy on Adverts selling an AOC 144hz G-Sync 24" monitor for €180 in Galway City.
