Mispriced Item on the OCUK Page

The ViewSonic just above it is £199.95, so it looks like it was typed in wrong.

Mr. Spie, as I pointed this out, could I get one free

Hm, I don't think it is a mispriced item. But its cheap! :eek:

This Week Only aswell.

edit: depends which one you mean is mispriced tbh.

you sure its mis priced? and not just a difrerent grade of monitor?

JonnyGLC · 8 Apr 2006 at 13:00

Not sure how that works, the cheaper of the two monitors actually has a better grey to grey response time by 4ms? What's the price difference between the two about?

the one above it is the VP920, and it is 100 quid cheaper. But looking at the specs of them, they are exactly the same. And the VP920 comes with speakers in the monitor, now I know paying 100 bucks is a reasonable price to get rid of speakers, but come on

I was going to get that monitor a few months ago, it was like £350 !!!! how the price has come down.

looks about right to me, check out the full specs on the two and the quoted one is superior

I really want to get a 19" LCD monitor but they don't offer resolutions upto 1600x1200 which is what my old illiyama is helping to churn out

I hate lugging it around though.

The price is correct and the VP920 is a project monitor and will go up soon.

Yep something Viewsonic produce in limited numbers and only give it to 1 or 2 resellers to sample how well it sells. They have basically released it too compete against the Samsung 930BF and it does a damn good job at that and to boot its cheaper.

If all goes well they may mass produce and as such it would appear everywhere then but for now I think its an OcUK exclusive, though not 100% sure on that.

Interesting. But how can only 1 or 2 give them a relative impression of how well it sells? :confused:

My sis has that monitor, my Dad brought it back from work, and she loves it.

Its a high-end monitor something which OcUK is pretty good at selling. On the Samsung 930BF we were shifting approx 600 per month when it first came out though that number has now halfed due to other competing monitors coming out. So if it sells well it will be quite a few numbers. In all honesty we don't bother selling/listing items if they only sell in 1-2s we preferre high volume lines.
