do OC sell these?

embalse · 16 Jul 2008 at 06:26

No.

I thought they would be stocked by most retailers, but doing a google search only brings up a few places that stock them.
I am looking for a Eye-One Display 2 myself.

found that for £149 inc delivery

embalse · 17 Jul 2008 at 06:42

Thats a good price if it includes VAT

gadgets · 17 Jul 2008 at 23:05

yep inc vat and delivery, even bought a guide for the d300 so that will come with it

embalse · 18 Jul 2008 at 11:24

I'll do a search. Edited

That same one can be found for around £130 on a famous auction site and think I'd edit your post mate, don't think the mods will appreciate you asking for competitor links

Well check it out. Did not think they would mind as they don't stock it.

gadgets · 18 Jul 2008 at 17:54

didn't buy it from a computer store bought it from a photography store, as OC hardly stock any photography equipment (none worth mentioning any way) don't see how it could be a competitor.

OC have put a link to tft central and that has competitors advertised on it so figure that one out.

plus fleabay is from HK or the USA so by the time you have added import duty and VAT it is more expensive than the high street!

more and more monitors now require calibration straight out of the box so why don't OC stock them!?!

Yes why not OC. An important component

it has arrived, and first impressions:

well built.

but appears to be DOA!

comes with zero instructions on how to use!!

overall i think it is a POS!

if you have vista this is not a seemless installation!

it installed but the device could not be found.

the online help is a chocolate teapot!

i had to go into the system device manager and force it to search for updates before it would see it properly.

it now appears to be working properly

Thanks for the heads up. i'll keep it in mind
