Screen test Ahead of the Black Friday rush, a gaming sales expert from AOC UK finds the right monitor product for five example customers, and offers tips for resellers to help close deals.

CHALLENGE No.2 A parent, three weeks before Christmas, buying for his daughter who “does gaming”. They don’t know what a refresh rate is and don't want to. They want it to look expensive when it comes out of the box, they want it to work with the PlayStation as well as the PC, and they have a hard ceiling of £350. Neal chose...
