KingAustin said:A few things about your post
1)I own the ****ing monitor, so dont tell me to read the reviews. It is absolutely amazing and the price is astounding.
2)It has a 5/5 egg rating on newegg, so I dont know what reviews you were reading. I wouldnt ever take any advice from you on this forum. You're new to the computer scene, your previous posts make it obvious and the advice you've tried to give already is bad.
3)Buying LCD's from a store isnt that great of an idea, they charge way too much. Newegg is a great company, but if you have a trust issue, then dont buy anything online.
So, in conclusion, buy an LCD, save desktop space, save electricity, save yourself from a hot room caused by the CRT, and dont listen to paul wall.

KingAustin said:You are a ****ing dumbass. Of course every mass produced product is going to have a few bad ones in the mix. Dont sort the review list by lowest rating. It has 181 reviews, and has 5/5 rating, sounds like a very good monitor to me. 5.5% of the reviews give it a poor rating, while the rest give it an average to very good review.
Not sure how ignorant one can be, but you seem to be setting the standard.
Navaros said:The quoted statement is incorrect. Buying a LCD monitor from a brick & mortar retailer with a good refund/exchange policy is the best thing you can do.
Buying an LCD monitor online may very easily result in a huge aggravation right out of the box due to one or more dead pixel or sub-pixel. And if you get that then chances are most companies won't even RMA it for you so you are stuck with a POS monitor forever. Is it worth that huge gamble to save a few bucks for buying online - no way.
It's not the same as buying other stuff online. Other online stuff are not known to have inherent defects in many units yet they get shipped anyways, like LCD monitors do. Nor is it hard to get RMA for other products with defects in them, whereas with LCD monitors it can be next-to impossible to get an RMA for dead pixels or sub-pixels.
I have no problem buying most stuff online but when it comes to LCD monitors, buying online would be insane in my view.

I never said the monitor was bad, in fact you are right: it is quite capable of doing what it is supposed to do, and look pretty good while doing it. I simply pointed out the most extreme flaws, while you pointed out the best points of the product, giving the potential buyer a great veiw of the good and bad.
Also, flaming me is reserved for PM's only. I would much rather have you talk **** to me in private than to crap up an otherwise good and helpful thread.
KingAustin said:Umm, you cant say my opinion is incorrect, thanks for trying to though. Most arent shipped with dead pixels and most can be fixed using a few simple techniques. I would like to know your definition of a couple bucks, because you must be really rich if you consider the price differences between brick and mortar stores and online "a couple bucks"
