It’s better for looking up

Good luck with your i7 2746:653, you’ll be getting search results for random other i7

I mean there's usually some sort of logic behind the name even if it's not immediately apparent. I think monitors are just prone to lots of SKUs and frequent revisions as panels improve. Edit: HP for example has 146 items listed in their monitors section.

Stock keeping unit, a term commonly used in the business world for a combination of product and packaging.

When non-english-speaking places try to come up with real names, you end up with

Zeuslap, Hgfrtee, and Grebear

So the random characters only slightly inferior

I think you mean ZEUSLAP, HGFRTREE, and GREBEAR.

Oh, and they're all the exact same product.

Hilariously accurate.

Product names now:

Crying wojak: "EWRT-3846-Pro"

Product names back then:

Chad wojak: "Pulsar 25"

Yeah the HT269-GH262J has nothing on the HT269-GH262J-P#@/JKL

Me, researching online: What's the difference between the HT269-GH262J-P#@/JKL and the HT269-GH262J-P#@/JKL v2?

Every spec sheet in existence for the two:

I'll do you one better: The 2 monitors I bought from the same brand a year apart are different in many slight ways, one is capable of like 24hz higher refresh rate, the other has more options in the settings menu, etc.

They have the exact same model number and documentation, the manufacturer just replaced the old one and documentation with a new one without specifying anything had changed.

Which brand, so I can avoid that kind of sloppiness?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

The brand is Z-Edge.

Their monitors honestly aren't bad for the price, which is what makes this disappointing, since the non-documented differences in quality are annoying (although they were, to be fair, only improvements over the old version I'd bought prior)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

The release year stat and the price are different

The missing tooth detail got me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah that was a nice touch 👌👌
