excellent! this is arguably one of the best high-end 19'' monitors; prolly the best deal available for flat 19'' for now.

 

[ETLA]

compare to SamSung one which is $275 shipped which one is better?There is a good one...IIyama which is sold at their site for $265 + shipping....Iiyama is a much much better brand than KDS/SamSung..any suggestions?

 

[pen^2]

but 950p doesnt sport a FD trinitron tube, does it? i was perfectly fine with my $200 KDS VS195, yet happier with my $340 AV195TF. 950p is NOT flat (trintron clon).

 

[cubanx]

So far I'm looking at $237 shipped at Mercata after the 36% off for the 950P

Here's some onfo links:

Comparision vs. other 19 inchers including DELL Trinitron

Hope this helps... The price is dropping by the Hour on the Samsung 950P

 

[pen^2]

if you like 950p better, good for you. still, this is an apples to orange comparison, 195TF is more comparable to the samsung's more expensive big brother 900NF. i wont claim the AG tech stomps all over the SM tech, but some people are willing to pay for the differnce and go with the AG moniotr. in other words, THIS IS A HOT DEAL.

I can't find the monitor on Mercata's website...
are any of you out there finding it?

 

[moocat]

If you have a chance, find a local B&M and look at a TF monitor. I'm still not sure I like my AV195. The pros are very sharp text (except in the corners of the screen), vibrant colors, and cool physical appearance of the TF tube. The cons are finicky geometry, blurring of text in the corners of screen (both of these "problems" are known side effect of TF displays and vary somewhat from unit to unit).


IMHO they take a bit of getting used to and whether the TF displays are better than the "almost flat" is highly debateable. I'm still tweaking mine so it's too early to tell whether or not I like it better than my Viewsonic E790.

It's in Home Office, then Peripherals, then Monitors.

Does this have the BNC RGB inputs too? Or just the regular 15 pin input?

 

[lundog22]

I don't think this have a 5BNC input.

Damn still should I buy or should I not buy....

Thinking of replace my Sony 400PS monitor with this....

 

[zsir]

$342 shipped is an excellent price for the KDS.....It is a very good monitor....But like moocat said don't expect perfect geometry and there is bluring in the corners....

 

[lundog22]

Does the bluriness only affect these FP tubes? Because my 400PS doesn't have that problem. It was the top of the line 19" Sony made 2 years ago.

<< Does the bluriness only affect these FP tubes? >>


I have the KDS AV-195TF. I don't see any blurriness on mine. The quality is very good - no geometry problems at all. Prior to purchasing this monitor, I purchased a few others (flat Samsung) and looked at many others (Sony E400, Viewsonic PF790). Finally, I arrived at a store that had the KDS AV-195TF connected to a dedicated PC. The picture on the display monitor was perfect. I then ordered the KDS that evening from Onvia.Com.

Out of all the monitors I've owned over the past 7 years, this is the best so far. I paid $360 at the time, but this bargain is very good. Shipping isn't $33 for everyone. If I purchased one, the shipping from Mercata would only be $11 and change. Not a bad deal at all.

 

[DealyDo]

WHOOOOHOOOO----Just bought one for myself. Just gotta find a way to get it down the chimmey. Came to $321.06 with $ 23.00 dollars shipping to Houston,TX. and deduct the Ebates.com rebate (which amount do they use anyway) so around $ 329.00 shipped.

:|:| MSN 20% OFF DOESNOT WORK FOR CANADIANS :|:|

 

[lundog22]

hehe another reason why you shouldn't be a Canadian!!! j/k

 

[RobCom]

i tried making an account through Mercata and they didn't credit me the 100mercata dollars.....what went wrong????

 

[zsir]

DealyDo

If you think about it.....email or PM me after you get your monitor and tell me how you like it....

I think it's a pretty good monitor BTW....

 

[pulse8]

I've bought one. I've also read many good things about it. Very few bad. I've been waiting for a deal like this to justify buying a new monitor.

I don't see how you can Ebate this, as the MSN Passport rules state that you must start the shopping from MSN.com or one of some other Microsoft- owned sites.

 

[DealyDo]

I think you read the rules wrong, they are just pointing out that you can go to any particiapating site with ONE click. On the Mercata deal you have a receipt that shows a deduction in price and is what they will charge you, vs a rebate. If you have a problem with MSN, then you have proof to dispute it and a very legitimate one at that. I don't think that the discount would have been applied if the was a problem with me entering through ebates.

I always cringe at the ECS deals because it's a rebate and have that crappy 500 person limit thing, the MSN is taken off immediately.

 

[HappyFace]

*drools* Now look what you've made me do. Those were brand new bunny slippers too!!! :| :| :|

 

[Akaz1976]
