Want to order a ViewSonic VP201B.

I usually buy everything at Newegg, but their dead pixel policy sucks!
Dead Pixels Policy: Replacement or Refund for 8 or more DEAD PIXELS ONLY!

My luck, i'd have 7 dead pixels.

Anyone have a suggestion of a reputable site that carries these LCDs with a no hassle return policy and decent pricing ?

When i pay this much for a monitor, i want NO DEAD PIXELS! or its going back!

I agree, its a miserable policy. The manufacturers should be held to a higher standard.

Well poop!
That figures, i didn't think of Dell since i didnt want the 2001FP.

When i saw that suggestion, i thought "yes, they'll have a no hassle return ploicy".

Darn thing comes to $906.26 at dell
and $840.00 at Newegg.

So i guess ya really pay for the no hassle return policy. :frown:

dell 2001FP. it was in the Hot deals section earlier this week. was one day only.

edit: that was the best one but usually they'll have a deal every week for a day that lowers it to around $679

Wish i coulda settled on the 2001FP, i would have still saved money since its cheaper.

And they are basically the same monitors.

But i can't help it, i like the Viewsonics looks alot more than Dells 2001FP.

Sure i'll post comparisons/my opinion when it arrives.

Will most likely be early next week, since it so close to the weekend.

I'll post my observations in this same thread when i've had a chance to checkout the LCD. :thumbsup:
