**DEAD** VP201b at monitorsdirect

wow, that is a great deal!

This is the same LCD as the Dell 2001 FP, correct?

Damn, I just paid $810 for the Dell.... what do u guys think, should I return it and get this one (100$ cheaper! )
 
I'm not sure if this is the same screen as the 2001fp. I know the 2001fp uses the LG.Philips LCD LM201U04 but I don't know what the vp201b uses.
 
The viewing angle is same on both, 176 degrees, same response time, same pixel size, same brightness and same contrast.
 
I must've been looking at something else than because I thought the 2001fp had a viewing angle of 88 degrees. Whoops.

But if the two monitors are the same, I'd return the dell and save the $100

Code replaced after finding it on the vendor's site.

Has this been out of stock since this was posted? Anybodt that ordered one, did they give you a potential ship date? Awesome deal, but I dont want to be sitting around for a month or two waiting on it to come in.
 
this IS the same monitor - but their return policy/exchange policy isn't as good as dell's. so if you get a dead pix, u pay the shipping back if i'm not mistaken...

i'd be all over this if it were the case - oh, and in august/september, viewsonic is replacing all these models with a 12ms version, hence probably the mark down. still a good price though - wish i could justify spending720 on a monitor. 🙂 .
