Just got 2 new Vika tables with pine table tops, $80 a pop. My last table was also a vika, but a black-brown laminate that appeared dirty the day after wiping. Main complaint is that the Vika individual legs are quite rocky. Get any typing/vibration or writing motion going, and my monitor...

Don't have the greyscreen problem, but the 2D/idle/desktop crashes are no longer coming up for me on my 5770 after switching the Windows desktop theme from Aero to Basic. It's been a week now, and not one crash. Touch wood.

Just got mine this past Tuesday, and it's been working okay. Major issue so far has been 2 2D, Win 7 desktop crashes. The first time, the drivers 'recovered', but it was sluggish afterwards. The second time, it kept trying to recover, but never quite made it (went from black screen to partial...

My Blu-ray drive died less than a month after buying it. This isn't normal, your BD is likely on the verge of dying so take it back to the store while you still can.

Is it flickering all the time like even after half-an-hour after you turn the power on? I noticed my 2407 was flickering a month back, but also noticed that it only occurred during the first 10 minutes or so when the CFLs are warming up. After some googling, it's pretty normal as long as it goes...

Is the bleed permanent or does it go away after a while? For some weird reason, I have major backlight bleed on my monitor for the first 20 minutes or so after first power up. However, it virtually disappears after being on for a while.

Last time I read, and from what I know, you can buy the extended warranty from Sony as long as your system is still IN warranty. That sounds like anytime in the 1 year window from the time you bought it onwards. No idea what your options are outside that. Think the Q&A says you can't.

You can surf around and there might be a fix from scavenged PS3 parts. That or just pay $150 to Sony and get it fixed. I'm definately getting the extended warranty now...

Nothing. I never touch it and since it's vertical, dust build-up is minimal. I can count on one hand how many times I've touched my screen. I never touched my first LCD on the screen once and it lasted over 1.5 years. Looked great the day I sold it.

I read over the Dell return/warranty policy a lot last week, and seem to remember a 15% restocking fee too. Is this a recent change? I remember a year ago when it was still 21 days, full refund.

Mines just broke last Friday too (BD stopped reading anything). It lasted a whole 4 weeks (woohoo, pay full price for refurb) while our Xbox 360 took 7 months to RRoD. All comes down to luck, neither POS is more reliable.

If it makes you feel better, my "reliable" 4 week old PS3 just died on me too: drive doesn't read anything anymore. The pisser is that I still gotta go through Sony cause I bought it from Dell (I knew this from the start, so can't complain much). Our 360 lasted 7 months, RROD'd 2 weeks back.

lolol I'd be so pissed if they were doing that to me, but it's hilarious:). Too bad I turn voice off usually, that much swearing and hostility is entertaining.

I haven't tried Lair yet, but is it as bad as they say? Ratchet and Clank uses the Six-axis for the glider and it wored pretty well, so did Lair just screw up the implementation? OP should give Heavenly Sword, Ninja Gaiden and Kane & Lynch demos a try. The first two are similar, but are...

I could really use that HDMI port right now.. (2407 owner) Are those specs right? 1080i/p, mainly the p, over component? I know component technically can, but I haven't seen many that do.
