MikeCoz Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 what do u all think... should i wait for a coupon or buy as soon as possible? my crt monitor (i think 15in. or 17 in.) i'm using is getting bad. all the buttons on the front don't work! it's a gateway evf720 from a couple years ago. lol i can't change my screen size if anything was to get messed up! also i have bad eye strain. :blink: i just ordered my glasses prescription the other day. hmmm... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price is good (compared to Apple) but they might need another revision to get it quite right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCoz Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 ok thanks for the advice. hopefully they have some more deals soon! I could do $799 but why when some people have gotten for $200 less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I would also wait. I received my monitor and everything was perfect (one stuck pixel that was rubbed out but no backlight issue) for the first week or so, but last night while playing with my system and restarting it I noticed some backlight issues. I am calling dell to get a replacement and another 50$ coupon thrown onto my account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDo Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Can somebody or all you guys tell me how the backlight issue is for the european models? Since I live in the Netherlands I'm curious to see how it holds up against the terrible American user review as seen on hardforum.com. So is it that terrible and should I go for a Apple cinema display 20" or can I spare me the ? 300,- .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypoxiaicon Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Europe, counting the UK? Exact same Problems. Im on to my 3rd Monitor now. I hope this one is better. Id wait... they ARE good monitors, you just want one with no bleeding and dead pixels, which hard to come by at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FusionGuy Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Could it be that rough shipping causes the backlights issue? Maybe they aren't packed well. I don't know as I don't own one. I seen some screenshots and the box looks really cheap. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotchaforce Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 GRrr, i played several DVDS on powerdvd trial and media player classic, and when i maximized them to full screen (so the sides of the picture are touching left and right borders of monitor) it got all fuzzy and lines were being streaked across the image! Im running 1680x1050, does anyone else have this problem? Weird thing is, when i shrink the whole image by about 1 inch in media player classic the lines GO AWAY completely... this really ticks me off, ive seen pictures of people doing fullscreen, why cant i? :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDo Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I don't think it's the pakaging. Rather the essembly of the whole display. I've read on prad.de that somebody opened the housing of the monitor and released some screws witch hold the tft bare frame into the plastic frame. It was assembled to tight witch allowed the leakage to be present. After adjusting the screws there was less leakage. Has anybody dared to do the same?? Still I think I prefer the Apple cinema display. I just don't want to get caught up in Dell's customer care ... sh*t.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FusionGuy Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I wouldn't be surprised. There are a lot of people that don't know what a dead pixel or backlight leakage is and they are the ones that are going to get screwed just becuase the price is low.

randy_tho Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 They haven't had a sale on LCDs like this in a while (Without codes)... I was saying the 2001 was also on sale. Its also 550. I was sort of joking about the defects...... sort of. :) I'm tempted to buy one. :) But I can't spend that kind of money on this kind of thing. :) This thread helps keep me form buying one. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
