    Are there any physical shops that stock/sell higher spec monitors for gaming.
    Purchased a monitor on laptopsdirect.ie recently but they are now charging import duty which adds signifigantly to the cost.
    If not are there recommendations for eu resellers?

    I'm looking for something like a 240hz benq zowie or an asus rog in 24", also a super widescreen

    German, Spain, French PC sellers should have monitors in their stock. Worth to check amazon.de too.

    There's no decent phone or any IT seller in Ireland - everything is overpriced or older models.

    You can read the discussion in this thread. Or, if it seems too long, just skip to the conclusion post.
