Princeton 17" for $330 - $30 rebate. I didn't note the model number, but looking at their website I'm guessing LCD17D.

Edit: In-store price.

I have an Envision 9110 dvi that has 25ms response rate and is a great monitor....I play games including Doom3 and I am very happy with it...not sure if every gamer would be happy

Coworker has gone through 3 of these this week.

Al had tons of dead/brite pixels.


My suggestion: bring a laptop w/ you and test the monitor. Make sure you let the monitor run for 10-15mins, sometimes it takes a little for the pixels to fvck up.

Some CostCo's have featured items like this on display and turned on. However I'm not sure if they hook it up via analog or DVI and which video card they use in the PC.

Does it matter? A dead pixel is a dead pixel no matter what video card you use or port it comes from.

Why doing this you can probably return the LCD 2 years later and Costco still going to take it back.

I was told that I had a 6mo return warranty on my LCD from Costco but another employee said essential for life of my membership...I would doubt they will allow you to return the computer unless there is a problem....I am sure the store manager would have to make the decision...but why ruin there excellent return policy to return something just so you can get a free upgrade

Yeah lots of people scam that policy. http://www.costco.com/Service/...uctNo=10166081#Returns
They changed laptops and desktops to 6 months, everything else is still lifetime.
