Anyone tried putting one of these on a Neo-Flex LCD stand? I know the DS-263N exceeds the recommended weight for that stand but I'm hoping it might work.
I have that arm right now with a 24" and im going to try it out with the DS on monday probably. I think it supports 18 pounds max, and maybe the DS is less than that after you remove its stand.
If you read the forums instead of jumping to questions you'd know . It's all in here, just scroll back a few pages and do the research.
Speaking of returning to Amazon, do they not have an advanced RMA process, where you can order your monitor replacements first and get them before having to return the ones that are defective?
I've read the first 15 pages,
what's the best place to buy this? buy.com legit?
Currently it is Newegg as they will guarantee the polarization.
i see. too bad it's out of stock.

I think the return policy is more important than the polarizer lottery. Which would you rather have, a polarizer and 5 dead pixels in the middle of the screen, or a panel with no dead pixels but no polarizer?
I'm queued for one at buy.com.
I've read much of this thread but to suggest that I read 50 pages of replies to find out the answer to a question someone can likely answer in 2 sentences is stupid advice. It's not like this is a three page thread and I'm being lazy. I've read the first 15 pages, but I don't think it's too unreasonable for me to ask what a polarizer is a second time rather than read 1000+ replies.
Please let us know how it works out. I'm going to be very interested in switching the stand if I get the DS-263N.

Its easy to miss, but I found it in less than 2 minutes by searching 'polarizer' and going to the oldest results.

I read that page, but nowhere does it say what a polarizer is. It's just a lot of talk about whether it does or does not have a polarizer. I'm assuming it has something to do with the glow?
I got mine from Newegg(via Cali) on Friday. Not really qualified to say if it has the polarizer - the screen changes to a dark reddish tint when viewed from extreme horizontal angles on a black background.(standing to the right and looking at the screen) - but I don't think I saw any green.
You can also see a swath of what I'm guessing is BLB in the upper right hand corner from an angle in a semi-dark room. But this could be the white glow - not sure. And when viewing a gray solid background, you can look closely and see faint streaking/rippling type movement(brightness at 15). I have an old Samsung 712N LCD that does this also, but it's VGA only and I always assumed it was the video card it uses VGA out being crappy. It's sitting next to and plugged into the same outlet as a 215TW that has no issues.
I also can't get the DS 263N to run at native resolution. It goes to 1920x1080, but not 1920x 1200 with a Geforce FX 5700 via DVI-D with the most current nvidia drivers(using XP pro). From what I have read in nvidas docs(but have read otherwise elsewhere, so really I'm just confused), it should be able to handle that resolution fine. I have not tried to manually set it to 1200 with the nvidia control panel...yet
Icons and text look very slighty horizontally compressed at 1080 so it was driving me nuts. There's no way to adjust that when using DVI right, besides changing rez? The DoubleSight is sitting on my desk at work so can't check it out more now that I want to. Late next week when I go back in I'm going to bring a newer video card that I know has no issues. I've never really had problems before with a display not bumping right to native rez(never had one this big though) so I'm pretty dumb when it comes to troubleshooting it. I'm hoping that this other card will set it straight.
Here is pretty much what the faint streaking looks like, just not as extreme as that example, you have to look for it if the screen isn't gray, and it kind of pulses upwards. I'm not sure if this is just a normal characteristic for all LCDs or not.

I just had a thought that DS could possibly be buying up seconds that higher priced companies reject for their panels. That would explain the apparently different panel types and strange markings I've read about a lot in this thread. Or is that just silly? It's really late and my eyes are sealing shut
THIS ONE HAS THE A-TW POLARIZER! Instead of a strong white glow, there's a more subtle red or green glow, depending on the angle. That's what the NEC monitors do.
I'll take pictures against a 23" Apple Cinema Display later when it gets darker. The Apple has the white glow.
Here's the glow comparison:
The new DoubleSight is on the left, and the 23" Apple is on the right.
Now that it's darker, I'm starting to see more of the backlight bleeding:
Normally I'd try to get a replacement for this, but I don't want to lose the polarizer. I'd rather have this than the white glow. It's not noticeable except when showing something dark. I'll see if it improves.
Uhmm, does this monitor scale properly for Xbox 360 and PS3 games that are at 16:9? It should, according to the manual online, but I just want to make sure, because I got a monitor that would scale properly for PC but not for Xbox 360 or PS3.
