I went through that entire list. Not a single place on that list sells BenQ products directly, infact, only 2 of the companies on that list even know of/work with BenQ. The rest have never heard of benq.

loool absolutely unbelievable.

anyway OcUK do a saturday delivery so i just ordered that instead for an extra £18. Should be arriving in the next hour or so

The packaging was obviously opened before and the box was re-sealed so I was a little hesistant about accepting it. I opened it while the courier was still there (At his suggestion) and checked everything. It seems to be fine, no physical damage or anything.

Anyway onto the monitor itself, picture quality is outstanding. I haven't calibrated it yet or anything but the colours are beautifully rich, compared to the HP2207H and the Dell P2310H Professional.

The black is so black and well the display is just beautiful even without calibration and particularly at this price point.

Here's some pics:







The only thing I don't like so far is the stand

Excellent! Sounds as if you're happy with it then :). I won't hesitate to recommend it to others in the future, but will warn them about the stand if that's important to them ;). It can't be any worse than most Samsung stands. Most of them are so wobbly it's unbelievable, but it's just something I've got used to.

I always tell people not to look too deeply into reports of colours being a bit off. It's a common thing with TN panels and LED-backlit models in particular, but it is something you will only really notice if you do the appropriate tests. What you will notice are the deep blacks and the overall vibrancy of the image :)

Speaking of the stand I had a little idea to swap the stand over from my HP w2207h over to this new benq since they are both VESA wall mountable i thought it shouldn't be a problem.

So I did a bit of poking around the back of both monitors, took the stand off the HP w2207 and the BenQ but i've hit a little snag.

The stand on the HP w2207 is designed to fit an indented slot on the back of the lcd. The benq has no indentation so the VESA faceplate ends up pertruding about 0.5cm

I've narrowed it down to two things which are causing this problem:
First - The HP Vesa faceplate has 2 plastic pieces about 0.5cm in width designed to penetrate 2 equal slots on the back of the HP LCD.

Second- The vesa plate has a bolt which attaches it to the HP stand mechanism (for pivoting) which is not actually needed it means the faceplate cannot attach to the head of the stand itself any other way. the bolt however is only about 0.3cm in width so shorter than the 2 pieces of plastic on each side pertruding from the faceplate.

Question is, what can I do about this? Can i take it to a metal worker or something and have them produce a new faceplate with the correct height and width and have him attach it to the stand without a bolt? Maybe solder it on or something?

The pics might explain better:
