Are you a professional gamer? Sounds like you really just need a good CRT or just turn VSync off so you can get that "smoother" feel. Came across this (somewhat of an old article) http://www.behardware.com/articles/641-1/1rst-lcd-at-100-hz-the-end-of-afterglow.html. I didn't read it all but...

I bought the LG 2452T from Best Buy a couple weeks ago when it was on sale for 449 but I returned it. I just wasn't happy with the overall picture quality for every day activities (email, web, etc..). The horizontal viewing angles weren't that bad but the vertical angles were typical of TN...

For those of you questioning what the warranty is on the NEC refurbs: This is an email response from an NEC customer service agent when I inquired about their warranty for refurbished displays. It is in the LCD2090UXi thread that I started a few days ago. I wanted it in writing because...

Well, I received my monitors today. Mine were packaged very well with strong foam padding inserts throughout. Received only a vga and power cable (no DVI :confused:). The first monitor I pulled out seems flawless (so far). The second one has a small crack (about 3/4 inch long) in the...

Emailed NEC about the warranty discrepancy and here is the response: Well there you have it. Cut and dry.

Well, that sucks about the warranty. I wonder why NEC allows Directron to list 1 year (maybe they are unaware). When I talked to the Directron rep, I did tell him that most sites list only 30-90 day warranty period for refurbs and he assured me that it was a year. I might shoot NEC an email...

Hmm, well that's interesting. I put my order in on Friday around midnight and got a call Monday that they were backordered as I said in my previous post. The guy that called said they would be shipping out of a California location instead of their normal Houston faciity. If you are on the...

After doing some research on this forum and other places, I have found that this monitor is notorious for backlight bleed. Some people have good ones but I have read where a lot more people complain of this issue. Everyone likes it for the wide array of inputs though. So it is a give and take...

Got a call a minute ago from directron and the rep said the monitors are shipping from another warehouse and they will not get to Houston (Directron's facility) until May 2nd. He just wanted to make sure that I can wait that long. From there they will ship 1-2 day to my house. Just wanted to...

Yeah I went ahead and ordered 2 as well. Shipping was only about 23 bucks and there was coupon code for 15 off so really only 10 bucks shipping. I may be taking a risk but it lists on the Directron's site to have a one year warranty through NEC. For the person that mentioned the 24" Soyo, I...

What do y'all think about this monitor: http://www.directron.com/lcd2090uxibk.html It's an S-IPS panel that sells retail for ~$800 and directron is selling a refurb for $250. I did a search for this model on the forum and google but there was very little information. There was a lot more...

Hmm, not a bad idea...not a bad idea at all.:) I might have to try this. There was only one left at the store (that I could see anyways). My luck would be that it would be gone before I could get the shipment in. LOL. Oh, what to do.

I went to my local store and they had one 24 inch box in stock and it showed 6ms. The price tag however had 399 and wasn't on sale. Sales are regional and we didn't even have an ad this week. The rep said I would have to buy it online if I wanted to get it for 279. I don't want to risk...

This is my first post on [H]ard but I have lurked a little bit and have found a lot of useful information. Wanted to say a quick thanks to all the members that make it a useful place to find information. Now to my question. Office Max is now listing the SOYO DYLM26E6 on their site as an...
