The 2405 appears to be bulletproof

Lol, when he threw it WHAT were your reactions, you must have said something lol

I mentally wrote it off the second it hit the floor but remained calm as ultimately its the best way to ensure justice prevails. Got a warranty, home insurance, and the courts, plus I'm sure I could find somewhere that sells thumbscrews. Amazed when it wasn't even scratched.

What about all the cabling and the graphics card? Surely if he ripped the thing off your desk it would have been a bit broken?

Or he'd have the bill. What did you do to him? Poke him continuously?

Yeah, thet really isnt a good idea. Annoys the hell outta people after a while...but thats another story.

Glad to hear your £600+ screen is alright, although my response to that (thinking the screen was broken) would be to wrap it around his head and take his wallet

that kid on the video needs to quit the sugar/caffiene/lsd.

I still cant believe you didnt do something to the idiot, if someone had even thrown my iPod nano or something which is worth a lot less than that I would have gone mental

Luckily for you, the iPod nano is near enough indestructible

Anyone else feel a bit uneasy after watching that or is it just me?

Sorry. but this whole story sounds like bull****

Vegeta · 19 Mar 2006 at 22:11

I think its 100% the truth, some lad on here had his mum throw his monitor out the window lol coz she was angry, she then felt guilty and paid him some money for a new one, my dads even pressed my screen really hard with his hand asif he wanted to break it in a arguement - tft's are a target for angry relatives/friends lol.

Rumbled, I'm really a Dell rep spreading propaganda, we've been suffering poor sales on the 2405FPW due to its bounce test results

There're some sick people about, pray you don't meet too many of them, it really rocks your faith in humanity. Anyhow, can see this thread heading downhill...you've learnt (if you believe) that a TFT can be impact tolerant, and that was the point. Any passing mod feel free to lock this thread.

djohn · 20 Mar 2006 at 00:07

I wouldn't worry Mud, two pages and only one negative comment, no need to lock it.

Mud · 20 Mar 2006 at 00:37

Yeah, s'ok, I just see it getting further from 'Monitors'...

Vegeta · 20 Mar 2006 at 00:59

its a human interest story lol - its not too surprising if it didnt break or it did break dependand on how it landed - but the human interest story is more compelling in this thread lol.

You probably got more angry there, than you did with the TFT bouncing incident!!!

Seriously though, you've got a serious problem with anger management, you'll end up on a roof with a antique rifle shooting at passers by unless you get that seen to.
