Actually that's where I learned about the 2005FPW in the first place, billbillw. It comes out very well in that review and supposedly achieves a 16ms response time (though it's advertised as 12ms), the same as the VP191b's typical real-world response time, though I haven't seen an detailed...
As long as we're talking about Dell what do you think about their 2005FPW versus the VP191b? It's cheaper (on special through tomorrow morning), supposedly 8 bits, and gets good reviews.
I called Dell today, not about the 1905FP questions, but to ask whether their VP191b monitors were the new 8ms ones. I was told that the panels would most likely be the newest ones because they get shipped from Viewsonic (or a Viewsonic distributor), not from Dell, when an order is placed. There...
In a followup to an earlier question about whether this is really an 8-bit panel I found this earlier thread in which an AnandTech member reports confirming this with Viewsonic.
Personally I still haven't seen this monitor or found the 8ms panel at a dealer who'll take a return/exchange with...
Has anyone here recently ordered the VP191B from Dell, and did it come in the box with the 8ms sticker? I have to agree with dfloyd: changing the specs of this LCD without changing its model number makes for some uncertain shopping.
Kipa recommended the Viewsonic VP191b (or VP191s) in his thread and it sounds great but it doesn't seem to be sold at retail anywhere. a) I'd like to see one of these before I lay out $500 for one, and b) I'd like to buy it from a place where I can return or exchange it if it turns out to have...
For my part I currently have no monitor (I'm online intermittently via my work notebook) so I'm hoping to find the right monitor in a decent store ASAP!
I love Newegg in general and bought most of my current equipment from them but I'm wary of mail-ordering LCDs. Doesn't Newgg have an 8-pixel minimum for returns due to pixel defects? And what about restocking fees?
A quick update on availability: CompUSA has a better return policy than I thought (21 days, no restocking fee, at least according to the salesman I spoke with) but they do not carry the VP191b in their stores, only online. Has anyone seen one of these at retail? I want to look before I buy.
That's weird, because Viewsonic's own product page for the VP191b indicates that it's an 8ms panel. Dell may be selling older versions of this monitor (see Kipa's first link), so I wouldn't be comfortable buying from them. Any others? Any corroboration of the specs?
xtknight, Kipa's first link contrasts this panel with those utilizing TN technology with only 16.2 million dithered colors, but it would be nice to see it explicitly stated that this monitor utilizes 8 bits per channel for the full gamut 16.7 million 24-bit colors. The Viewsonic product page and...
It sounds great but the only retailer seems to be CompUSA and they told me they have a 15% restocking fee for all returns (and therefore for dead pixels). Has anyone had luck with returns there, or does anyone know of a better source for this monitor in the US?
The story so far: My beloved 8 year old Iiyama 17" CRT died and I decided it was time to go to a 19" LCD. On the [mistaken] belief that it was a full 24 bit display I picked up a Sony SDMHS95P and tried it for a while. There was one dead subpixel, which to my surprise really didn't bother me...
