Well, just bored and browsing the "weeb", saw this article and thought of people like Jonny E over seas there.

"THE EUROPEAN UNION is set to reclassify monitors which have DVI outputs as TVs, meaning that manufacturers will have to pay 14% tariffs on these so-called "video monitors"."

The rest of it here If this is true, sucks to be in the UK..

What's another 14% ? We already pay twice as much for every other PC component here anyway
