ooh thats sexy...

anyone know where i can get a lanparty carrying case for this?

[tpfaff]

man i regret so many purchases made a year ago :(

[alphaqforever247]

is this in store as well?

[Hurshai]

is this in store as well?

I think it's online only. My roommate works at Costco and he said sometimes B&M stores have the same merchandise as the website but usually there isn't alot of overlap on niche items like this one.

Also, if your not a member you may have to pay a percentage on top of that price. I'll double check to make sure I'm right on that.

[Nomad]

My local costcos did not have them in stock. I bought one a couple of weeks ago and love it.

[iSteez]

That looks nice!! :cool:

[Blahman]

two of these turned vertically would complement my 37" westy nicely I think.

but they would cost more than it :X

I got one of those on my wishlist at Newegg, I think there its like $580 shipped. Wish I had the money to get one, this 22" I have now is just tiny!

[BJH088]

is their a way to buy this Monitor with avoiding the costco non-member fees

edit: THis monitor is probably better 1aulity and only $30 more.

[Dave159]

hmm yes but the view sonic isn't as visually appealing to me as the hanns g imo;)

[wildfire99]

I could never find out what kind of panel the Hanns-G uses though. I checked it out at worst buy and it looked great, no horrible color shifting that I could see even from way to the side, unlike my 22" Acer (TN), but nobody else reports the same.

What kind of panel is the Hanns-G, and the Viewsonic? P-MVA? I really want to replace my old HP S-IPS monitor, and I like the larger text size of the 1900x1200 28" screens (as opposed to the 30" ones)

[fatlazyhomer]

both are TN

[drifterx37]

Looks like it's the same price at Newegg.

Costco has best dead-pixel/return policy.

Newegg's return policy on monitors is your S.O.L. :rolleyes:

Best Buy runs this about every other week for $550 - I got one last week at that price. (this is for people who are not Costco members)

Geek.com has a similar monitor for less...

$479 + $18 shipping...

opps

[XLeezardx]

does the hanns G have DVi?

[PanzerBoxb]

does the hanns G have DVi?

Input Connection:

* HDMI (with HDCP)
* VGA 15-pin mini D-Sub
* DVI and component via cable (cables included)
* Audio Input
* Earphone Jack

I imagine that means in comes with a DVI->HDMI adapter.

[Sunin]

Correct it has HDMI and a cable to convert DVI to HDMI. I have this monitor and love it. Is it perfect... no. But at the time it was under 1/2 the price of a 30 inch and damn near as big... a great compromise for a big arse monitor.

Priceless: My GF playing Oblivion on the 28inch and jumping out of her seat cuz a rat came up and surpised her. With that much realestate things do tend to draw you into the game!

[rkatapt]

HDMI and VGA, and it does come with a DVI-D to HDMI cable.

[DaNotoriousDOM]

I'm going to have to jump on this one day. Costco's warranty rocks.

[alphaqforever247]

how do u guys think this does vs the westinghouse 37 inch. since the hanns-g is 1920x1200 playing 360 or ps3 or watching blue ray movies the sreen wont be filled?? since those use 1920x1080?? would would you need to buy to be able to watch hd tv on the hanns-g??

[XLeezardx]

HDMI and VGA, and it does come with a DVI-D to HDMI cable.

So, how am i gonna hook up my PS3 and DVI PC?

[alphaqforever247]

isnt ps3 hdmi?? cant u juss use a hdmi to hdmi cable?? Also pc can do dvi to hdmi though u would have to keep swapping cables since there is only 1 hdmi port.

[Sunin]

goto www.monoprice.com and pick up a $30 HDMI switcher, generally they have them for under $30 for a two port HDMI switcher if you don't wanna swap cables.

does having one of these lower the quality of video and sound vs having connecting it directly to the monitors hdmi??

[iakona]

Might have to get one of these...waiting for tax return and paying of debt...:mad:

NO, digital is digital, if it works it will work if it don't it won't.... no degradation.

Why would you pay $479 fo a Refurbished when you can pay $20 more for new??:eek:

[fatlazyhomer]

why are you bringing this old thread back?

[iseedeadpeople]

why are you bringing this old thread back?

because he is a rookie veteran... hence 2.6years of being a noobie... cut the guy some slack...

[TheDarkTao]

old threads are good threads :p :confused: :confused: :D



:eek:



And all that makes me


:(


But then I :)

[DemonDiablo]

why are you bringing this old thread back?

Sad thing is he had a month to look over the thread and answer that question for himself. The person clearly stated two posts afterwards that he missed the part where it said the monitor was a refurb.

And yea Im giving this thread another bump.:o

[Zumino Zufeilon]

Just as an FYI, when we got these in at the Best Buy I work about 2 minutes a week at, we all thought they were great.

Highest Dead pixel problem I've ever seen with a monitor, not to mention serious backlight bleed. Enough to make me cringe.

Just a heads up.

[rhansen5_99]

fyi to get hdtv on this thing you will need a computer and one of these http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1283562
or something similar...
You could always hook up your cable box through the hdmi tho...

The first one I bought at Best Buy and it had a couple of stuck pixels (one that wouldn't stay gone) and some pretty bad backlight bleed. The second one I bought at Costco. It has no dead pixels and the backlight bleed is almost non existant. Glad I took that first one back. These are great monitors but make sure you check them out good before the return policy stops. I wouldn't buy one from Newegg for that very reason.

Costco beats everyone hands down on returns.
