Dell LCDs rock

[TJ]

Wouldnt buy a Dell ever again :)

Anyhow I got sorted by one of the boys on Perth WRX for a 19" at an awesome price :)

[RICEY]

I bought a complete Dell system over a year ago and havent had a single problem. Im pretty sure Franz is a Dell fan also.

[TJ]

Yeah it all comes down to personal perception doesnt it. For me, never again.

[yumafia]

I mite be able to help u out whats cheap cheap for ya dude. My mate has 1 i think its acer or samsung not 2 sure 17"

[Muppet_Guy]

Haha, Dell you either love or you hate. I've heard people having tragic stories with Dell, then there are others that have had no problems. I never had anything Dell, but I'd rather buy something else where I do not have a 50% chance of me hating it :\

Both the Dell and Acers we have rolled through have had hi rate of pixel failures.

For your cheap 19" lcd option get a Samsung. Make sure it has dead pixel guarentee.

For a qual 19" LCD get a Viewsonic with 2ms responce.

[Niva]

whats the conditions of the dead pixel guarentee on the samsumg? is it still like has to have a certain number of them within a certain distance of each other?

and do the viewsonics have the same guarentee?

[TJ]

Ive gone LG 19

[zeroyon]

We been getting 14 day zero dead pixel warranty on the Samsungs. Usually find if it doesn't show up in 14 days, its going to be a good moniter. The 2ms viesonics do have the same zero dead pixel policy but I don't think the cheaper Viewsonics do.

Just make sure where ever you buy it from they tell you the terms cos it can very from place to place

i got given a 22" lcd screen for my bday, just got it, been using a 17" normal screen for ages and i tell you 22' seems to big, its an acer and seems to be quite good, so yeah can vouch for acer.

Anyone thought of buying a big ass LCD TV and using one of them for a screen? (OR anyone actually doing that?)

[Muppet_Guy]

I just ordered this baby last week:

http://www.samsung.com/au/products/tv/lcdtv/la46f71b.asp

Should arrive hopefully before christmas. 46" True High Definition LCD (as in 1920 x 1080 resolution, not the piss weak 1300 by something they try to pass on as HD in the stores nowadays, farken bullsh|t).

Will probably use it as a computer screen when gf not watching TV! Will see how it goes heheh.

[Muppet_Guy]

And no, I'm not paying 6.5K for it, I know a guy in the wholesale business who owes me favours, will get it at cost being slightly over 4K :)
