ONE MORE TIME! Hyundai L70S 17" LCD for $298 AR at Fry's / Outpost.com

[hallf]

How is Outpost for rebate processing? A hundred bucks is a lot to worry about not getting...

 

[BaileyDog]

Does anyone know if this is the same panel used in the Aquaview HPB 17" LCD TigerDirect was selling w/ a $50 rebate a while back? I think that one had a Hyundai panel as well.

Thanks

Looks like the price is now $297 after MIR. They upped the price $18.

Anyone who has purchased this monitor: How is it? Good? Great? Terrible?

 

[The_Dude8]

anyone know where can i get a program to test for dead pixels on the lcd? thanks

 

[MikeA]

I should have mine tomorrow. Will write up a little review when I receive the monitor.

The Dude, to test if you have any dead pixels just display a white and black image and look if any pixels aren't white/black. They should all be the same.

Thats a great, simple to use program.

I just got the Hyundai L70S from my local Fry's and its really nice. But there is one bad pixel on it. Do you guys think I should take it back for an exchange for another one? In hopes of finding one with no bad pixels?

Definitely. Between my friends and I, we picked up 4 LCDs. None of them had any dead or sticking pixels. As always YMMV, but I think the majority of the L70S are good. Sucks that you got a dud.

Second encore...

Yup, reflected in my main post, but forgot to change the thread title. Fixed!

I love mine
Got it 2 days earlier than expected, and mine doesn't have any dead pixels!

It's very nice.

 

[KEV1N]

Got in on this during Labor Day. Mine had a stuck pixel though... I've already sent in the rebate. Do you think Fry's would still exchange without the UPC on the package?

On the question of DVI and text crispness... are Laptop LCD's connected internally via a DVI or DVI-like interface?

Logic suggests that they are connected via a DVI-like interface. It'd be silly for a laptop manufacturer to mimic a non-DVI by turning that digital video signal into an analogue one and then convert it back to a digital one for the LCD.

Googling found that: "[y]our average TFT LCD panel needs to get 6 or 8 bits of TTL level digital data for each of 3 colours plus H & V syncs and a data enable and a clock to keep all these signals together.(plus a few grounds to be happy)". Again, that's a pure digital signal, so it's DVI-like.

Since do more than read text and even play the occassional game, I'll wait for a 17" with DVI at that price point. Anand's staff pretty much agrees when they say, "[t]rust us ? you want to run DVI, if possible, all the time."

DVI is worth it all the way. It makes your LCD as close to a CRT as you can get in picture quality. No fuzziness at all on the 16ms panels and DVI. Take away the DVI and I don't care what panel you have the text will not be as crisp and the graphics will always feel a little off.

I don't understand how this works...

Isn't a pixel either on or off? Can someone give a good explanation of why DVI is always better than analog (or an argument against it, as long as it well reasoned)?

 

[Tadaima]

Just got mine!!! Too bad I didnt catch it when it was 279.99, anyways..have only one dead pixel.

Hmm should I go back ..howz fry's about dead pixels? Is it worth sitting in line and pissing the staff and everyone behind me while I ask them to keep bringing another TFT till I get a perfect one?

But great sharpness

 

[shlznit]

awesome. just ordered mine. i hope it doesn't have any dead pixels.

Does anyone know what Fry's policy on dead pixels is?

 

[Fritzo]

Picked one up at the last minute (the rebate ends today). Looks good

 

[Tiembo]

LCD is back for another round!

 

[Sahakiel]

It's starting to look like this might be the K7S5A of LCD's...

 

[skasibat]

There are lots of problems with Hundai rabates, i am still struggling to get my $70 form May

Really? Between my friends and I, we've picked up seven LCDs. Not one had any dead pixels. It's been working well ever since I picked it up when they first ran the promotion.

What kinds of problems? Did you call them for a follow up? I'm waiting on $100 from the September deal

 

[gwlam12]

anyone receive any frys rebates yet?

i personally did not go in on this deal, but i am still waiting on 2 rebates from frys since over 3 months ago (one has been over year ago)
