<<You seem to have a problem when people express an opinion different from yours. It's only an opinion afterall, and I only said I disagreed "somewhat", not totally.>>
Uh... no, I never have a problem with other's opinion. But you didnt sound like you were expressing opinion, you sounded like I was bullshitting, and tried to put your Iiyama to the absolute best which isnt true at all.
<<Just like in the thread for i815 motherboards. You kept insisting that MSI was better than Asus, but admitted that you don't have either one.>>
You dont have to own something to make sound judgements. After all Im running on Asus boards, just not the CUSL2. I have had experience with both boards, and I did lots of research before claiming anything. Generally acknowledged by many that Asus is going downhill in quality because they want to slap every feature they can and be the first to the market. I have heard and seen way too many minor issues with the CUSL2, it's a huge headache. The 815E Pro on the other hand, is a lot easier to deal with than the CUSL2, again thats my opinion, I've worked with them and thats what I concluded. The features are on par if not better, and the MSI is cheaper. Given that it's less troublesome than the Asus, why should I not recommend it?
<<How can you state something as fact when you don't even have one, or haven't worked with one? As for the issue of warranty/service programs, KDS' and Iiyama's are actually pretty much exactly the same. Why don't you check it out before you claim otherwise?>>
Again, you dont have to own something to make good recommendations. And Im NOT bullshitting when I make recommendations. I havent heard of anything about Iiyama's warranty, but I know for a fact that KDS has the best warranty in the market. Lore can clarify this because he's dealt with many monitors before.
<<Also, you misrepresented what I said. I did not refer to Iiyama's having higher resolutions, I said higher refresh rates. That's a big difference, vs. the resolution argument you make. I'd say it's a lot harder to engineer in higher refresh rates than it is to offer higher resolutions.>>
Ok grant it, but still higher resolution is better, doesnt matter if its harder or easier to engineer. Say, the VisionMaster Pro 451 goes to as high as 90Hz@1600x1200, the Samsung 900NF, on the other hand, does 89Hz at the same res. Granted, Iiyama wins. But if you look at the price, which is about $100-150 difference, the 900NF would be a better purchase. Again Im not trying to be your nightmare or anything, I was just expressing my opinion that Samsung and KDS are better buys because of their high performance/price ratio, I thought the creator of thread might be interested.
<<As far as the statement I made about geometry on the Iiyamas, it was only made as an example of their quality in my opinion. No where in my prior post did you find me saying that KDS or Samsung was inferior just because I had had very good experiences with the Iiyamas.>>
Ok, but you sure sounded like KDS and Samsung are inferior because of the superiority you claim for the Iiyama monitors.
<<What's wrong with Sony CRT's. Well, a lot of problems with misconvergence, as well as geometry problems, at least with Sony models. Give Onvia a call and see what kind of a nightmare they are having with returns on Sony's. Ask for M. Manthos, she's a CSR lead who has been specifically assigned to this task due to so many returns/problems.>>
Im not making any Sony recommendations. You can ask Lore, who has had experience with both Sony and KDS. And somehow these issues and problems magically dissappear when KDS manufacturered them, it left me wondering for a while, and to date, I still dont understand how KDS gotten rid of those problems.
