Bought a $300 portable monitor in Bangkok, it died in 6 weeks
I grabbed one of those cheap portable monitors off a stall in Chatuchak market because I needed a second screen for client calls on the road. It worked fine for about a month, then the backlight started flickering and now it's a black brick, the seller's WhatsApp number is dead. Anyone else get burned by gear from markets while hopping between countries, or is it just me and my bad luck?

Guess the trick is that the stuff sold to tourists in markets is never the same stuff locals buy for themselves, and there's no way to tell the difference until it breaks. Idk, maybe it's just part of the deal when you buy gear where nobody honors a receipt.
