That's what I was talking about. You guys figured it out. Haha.
The thing is they try to give a $10 off for any pruchase. I think they just messed up and they won't be able to fullfill all the orders. Anyway, I ordered three flat panel and hopefully I was early enough for them to find out.

Got confirmation message from them.
The status is pending.....

Is this site legit or could this guy be trying to get us to give our credit card info to him???

Good Monitor, But very heavy.

I don't know abouth the website and the coupon code thing, but I have been using this monitor for 3+ years. Be aware that you need the adaptor if run on windows (not sure about mac/unix and such). .28 dpi may not sound attractive alone, but its sony trinitron tube, i thought it measure differently. My visual experience is excellent color, bright, high refresh rate, fun (18.3 viewable!). I used it to do homework, watch VCD, play video games... no problem whatsoever.

Only 2 downsides: 70lbs, hard to move around. My adaptor is not connecting very good now.

I use one of these on my Radeon 8500 dual head. I have the Sun monitor on the primary head and a Samsung 955DF on my second. What people will want to know about this is:

-Despite the high dps, this is a Sony trinitron tube, and they have a very nice picture
-Most won't run at a lower resolution than 1024x768@60Hz
-You will need to run a utility that allows you to sync-on-green (like Powerstrip)
-If you are a gamer, this is probably not going to work as a single monitor solution. Quite a few games run their menu system at 640x480 before you start into the game at 1024x768 or more. If you use it in a dual monitor situation however and mirror the monitors while you game, it's pretty cool, then you can set it back to an expanded desktop when you're not gaming. If you're not a gamer, then this is a great monitor
-This monitors are built to last. Mine has a production date of 1996 on it, but it runs like brand new, and I expect it will last me for many many years to come.

I dont know what monitor you guys got but the 5 that I had ran fine at 640x480 as well as all other resolutions listed, needed no utility to sync on green and needed no special adapter. I assume you have a non multi-sync model. Those only run at a certain resolution. I do agree that they are built to last.

These are fully multi sync so it will run at any of the resolutions posted with no need for adapters and such.

As for the flatness of the screen it is verticaly flat and slightly curved horizontally. It is the original design trinitron tube. Very nice color and brightness. You won't be disappointed.

I just attempted to buy a Viewsonic 23.1 INCH TFT Flat Screen using the code... it came out to $20 bucks and I payed using paypal... one of my co-workers just tried to order the same thing and his came out to $246 sumthin' Who know could I actually recieve one?
how cool would that be?

 

[peang]

How about that 61" PLASMA by NEC ? do u guys think it will work?

 

[hoihtah]

[beatmix01]

[Southerncentralrain]

Heh, not good. You're at the mercy of paypal and the company.

 

[Southerncentralrain]

My order shows up as cancelled. Anybody elses?

 

[jimmyjam]

whats even funnier is you can submit an order without entering any credit card info. i even got a confirmation.

 

[beatmix01]

i think i got ripped for $20 bucks

 

[WiseOldMan]

It's a great way to collect names and addresses. All it's going to cost them is
a few minutes worth of time writing the "Oops, sorry! It was a typo" email.

They can make a lot of money selling these personal info to the mass marketers.

This is a very nice monitor.
I bought a used one last year from a friend for $75
These things listed for around $2500 in 1995. The screen is semi-flat.
Good luck finding drivers for it(not that you really need them). Luckily, XP just recognized it. This monitor should have an excellent picture, and a phenominal refresh rate(something silly like 120Hz). Mine just runs at 75Hz and I can't change that.

If anyone knows of anything that can be done to get this monitor to run at its potential, please post.


I just tried ordering one and the final price is $168 with shipping.
They did knock off $10 for code: may20e20.
I will pass. For $50, I would have bought another in a heartbeat.

We have one of these at work, hooked up to a medical imaging workstation. Beware, the image quality is horrendous. Low refresh rates as well. You may be better served spending a few more dollars for a low buck non trinitron tube.

I won't go to your clinic.

 

[Kroffty]

just got this email
looks like a screw up again!?
