Gibbo, may be worth changing it to say "VA" panel as opposed to "PVA" as I gather you are trying to confirm which type of Vertical Alignment (VA) panel it is being used here....either PVA (Samsung's technology, also extended to S-PVA), or MVA (from the likes of AU Optronics and CMO etc - also extended to P-MVA and S-MVA.....
anyway, complicating things now, but from what i gather, DGM have said they do use a VA panel, and your images certainly suggest this tooJust whether it's a Samsung S-PVA (as in Dell 2407WFP etc) or MVA from someone else, probably AUO P-MVA (as in BenQ FP241W) if it was
Hi there
Well to me that sounds promising. So this has either got the same panel as the DELL 2407WFP or the BenQ FP241W from what your saying and both of those panels are exceptionally well liked and perform great. I will take your advice and change the description to say VA though as I cannot get confirmation of whether its a Samsung or AU Optronics but DGM did mention AU Optronics so I am guessing it is most likely that.
Is it damaged ?
Hi there
The bezel is a glossy back and reflective, what you can see is a reflection.

Just checked, it's fine
Ordered about an hour ago, had to go to the hell that is the town centre to pay the money in... it had better be good
Hi there
So did you buy it from OcUK in the end or the other place?
That is my guess based on the specs. It is clearly VA of some sort, just thought it was worth changing this in the listed spec to avoid any confusion if it is S-PVA or P-MVA....either way is good and at the end of the day, as long as it performs well it doesn't matter!
If DGM mentioned AUO, good chance it's their panel a la BenQ FP241W ps, dont forget to change description on front page of the site too
Soldato
Offer ends Monday morning tatts but the regular price is still cheap. I think 500 units in stock and 500 available was mentioned earlier.

HI there
From what they were saying they have used two VA type panels, but were unable to clarify which one we had but they mentioned AU Optronics.
They did also mention that the other models that look identical to this one is nothing to do with DGM and therefor they could be using a completely different panel again, which goes to say that even though they look identical our competitors maybe selling something that uses a completely different panel. Plus the fact DGM bundle the DVI cable makes this the better buy!
What I shall do is with every batch that arrives I shall get one out to make sure it is a VA style panel with good viewing angles. That way if we get a batch where they are TN panels I can set them up as a seperate product on the website. This way OcUK customers can be guaranteed to get a VA panel which is something our competitors do not offer.
I've seen enough
How long is the offer on for & do you have plenty of units?
Will be ordering on pay day along with a 3870 or 8800 (30th nov)
HI there
Got 500 in, sold 60pc today. Got another 500 available, all 1000 are of the same batch. After that I will check to see if they are still VA panels we get as stated above.

good plan. At the end of the day, the P-MVA and S-PVA panels are quite similar in performance and characteristics anyway so all good news. Well done OcUK for getting a nice VA stock and an excellent price!

Hehehe. Easy tiger, by 30th Novemeber, we shall have lots of user reviews on this unit and you will then be able to make an informed decision. The people who are buying now are effectively buying blind, one of the most important peripherals of their PC. The trade-off is that they get it cheap. You have to ask yourself is the risk worth it?
I have to say that I am very tempted to buy one of these things, though I dislike widescreen monitors (I have no wish to watch movies or similar on such a small screen, viewing angles dont matter to me). I prefer the 4:3 ratio monitors, but these are sold at a premium.
From the looks of it, the price of this monitor is fantastic and is unlikely to be matched by any other seller at the current time. This may change in January though.
Your warehouse must be huge to hold all this stock.
Hi there
500 is only 15 pallits, not that much space.
It uses A VA panel, it has 3yrs on-site warranty, and you have a full week to test it thoroughly before deciding if you want to send it back. All for half the price or any other VA panel. Where's the risk?
