A2Z, if you go to http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/ you will find a very good description of the screen types.


Fatzer, I RMAed my screen which was collected by City Link on Monday. I got an email tonight to say they were sending a replacement when available under a new order number. I'm happy with that. Mind when is another question so I shall just keep checking my account. I suspect an email will come out when the thing is dispatched so watch out for that.

My RMA screen still shows not received but I don't think we need worry on those grounds. I got the job number when the monitor was collected and tracked to OCUK on Tuesday lunchtime.

Mine went exactly as above - at 5pm today got an email saying a replacement would be sent out. I assumed this meant it was dispatched - will I be receiving a separate email to tell me that ?

I simply need to know when to be here to receive the monitor so I can be here to sign for it.... Is that asking too much (?!)
 
I've just been looking up my 23" monitor, which is apparently an 'S-IPS' screen.

Is this supposedly better or worse than MVA / PVA?

Still a little torn whether to get one of these or not.
 
For those still doubting this monitor check out this website.

http://axofiber.no-ip.org/inside/monitor.lcd.panels.en.htm

Premium MVA panel M240UW01 V0 is the one in mine which according to this website is the same panel used in the BenQ FP241W which if you check the reviews is highly reccomended.

It's also Used in the LG L245WP which again is a higly reccomended monitor.

Both these monitors retail at over £400 so the way I see it this is a great bargain.
 
I'm waiting on a replacement for the TN panel (second time) I was sent, has anyone actually received a VA panel after they've raised a RMA?

Seeing lots of people still getting TN so not very hopeful...

Also a friend of mine got ones after me and thought he had a VA panel even though the screen was glossy. He check the panel type using Menu + and it was one of the two which are supposed to be VA. He also said the viewing angles were very good. It was RMA'ed due to a cluster of dead pixel so haven’t seen it.

Question is can you get a OC 24” VA screen with a glossy panel?

Where are the helpful employees like Gibbo at times like these ?

The cynic in me is thinking they frequent the forums when they want to market something and ..... (well you can guess the rest).

@TheDean

Va has better veiwing angles over TN and VA is a 8bit screen and TN is often 6bit.

What difference that makes i'm unsure as i'm only quoting what has been posted.

8bit screens can produce much more colours compared to 6bit (hence the nicer colour contrasts, etc).

Well the even bigger cynic in me is thinking are these TN screens being sent out on purpose to new purchasers (as the buyer above said he'd ordered his yesterday), in the hope that *most* people wouldn't even realise the difference. The %age of people on these forums is probably miniscule compared to the number of monitors being sold.

As I say, that's just the cynic in me. Not saying that's the case, of course .... :rolleyes:

That's an interesting point, Festzer. I am waiting for my replacement monitor and I ordered another one last night so I am a sort of 'new purchaser' for this 2nd one. I wonder if it will come as a TN for the new one and an MVA for the replacement. A good way to try out your theory.

Are you expecting delivery today ? If not, then your post means they're onto you ! :p

Too much paranoia now ...... :D
 
now this is looking good, Fezster! I just got two emails to say the new and replacement one are going out today for delivery tomorrow, but under two different City Link numbers. They should arrive together though,

I may sound paranoid, but the trouble some people have had with these monitors, I really don't believe anything until I see it. I'll report back tomorrow with the results of checking the deliveries. *crosses all fingers and thumbs*
