Its under £120 atm! How long ago did you get yours?

MeatLoaf · 18 Mar 2007 at 20:21

Got mine friday, overall i a happy chappy

Lethal` · 18 Mar 2007 at 20:54

same a meatloaf. Meatloaf didnt you have a stuck pixel problem?

Im gonna ring viewsonic tommorow though because mine has power issues when i change resolution, i found people who had the same problem with other viewsonics on the net and they got replacements pretty quick.

Otherwise brilliant monitor!

Mikey · 18 Mar 2007 at 21:25

a worth replacement of my E431s Iiyama 17" TFT then...

does it have a DVI connector

Lethal` · 18 Mar 2007 at 21:52

No DVI on mine. But i have never seen DVI so it doesn't bother me

Mikey · 18 Mar 2007 at 21:54

I won't be bothering. DVI is a must so it looks like back to the Dell option

Yes i have. in the top left corner.

Gonna ring them tomorrow and ask about the zero dead pixel policy. Its not really noticable as its in the top left corner but would like it swapped as its likley to affect the resale value. Want to make sure i get a new one in exchange tho.

Let us know how you get. Was yours VGA only too? Looking on the net there seems to be a review of the same model with DVI and VGA inputs :confused:

Mikey · 19 Mar 2007 at 13:39

If it's guranteed to have a DVI input, I'll look at it. Otherwise forget it

These sound almost too cheap to be true?

What sort of height adjustment do you have on screen (if any)?

My thoughts too.....

Mikey · 19 Mar 2007 at 14:26

Just spoken with Viewsonic and it doesn't come with a DVI port, so I'm not touching it with a barge pole... Back to the Dell range for me.. For the moment I'll stick with my 17" Iiyama..

No DVI input, gonna ring them whwen i get bk from school

MeatLoaf · 19 Mar 2007 at 15:46

Just got off the phone to viewsonic and they wont replace it because they say its a sub pixel. She asked me what colour it was and too me it ,ooks green, but i cant be a hundred percent sure because im colour blind.

So much for the zero dead pixel policy

Lethal` · 19 Mar 2007 at 16:03

Well i suppose it is not a dead pixel

Lethal` · 19 Mar 2007 at 16:19

Right i just got off the phone from them, they are replacing the monitor - just awaiting a phonecall back from them

The man was very nice on the Phone

pcAnywhere · 19 Mar 2007 at 17:05

But can you change the screen height?
