i just got my confirmation fom Compaq and my monitor will ship out today. 🙂 I guess if everyone wants to flood eBay with them, then they can, but I looked there too and I saw a bunch of them up for auction and they were going for decent prices already, so they might make some money.
 
Keep in mind that if you get one of these with zero bad pixels, you can use that as a selling factor and actually get more money on ebay.
 
The pixel policy is 8 dark subpixels, 8 bright subpixels, or any combination of 10 subpixels on 17" - 19" LCD monitors. Has anybody else received confirmation? I ordered before this was posted, and have yet to receive order/shipping confirmation.
 
rollergatr I think that is normal. I ordered and received no emails at all but if I check the order status on their website it is there. 10 pixels...that's a bad policy. I think if I get a bad pixel I may use my Amex card policies to attempt to return it.
 
You dont think this was a price mistake do you? Odd that they would increase the price so quickly. Please someone tell me they actually received one at this price of $799.
 
Chances are that someone realized that they were going to be putting these things out the door at something like $300 under cost which is a big no-no... the big question now will be whether they honor the ones already purchased.

I should have jumped on this when I had the chance! 🙁
 
*poof* [Genie appears]

Did somebody say the word 'honor'?

--

I ordered one too, even got a call from a CSR confirming the order. They would be wise to honor it. Save and print all online receipts.
 
I got my order confirmed by phone this morning and got the confirmation e-mail today too. I'll post when I actually get it delivered to my house. I had it shipped out 2nd day air, but I asked if they could upgrade it to overnight and they said they would (not sure if it will happen though). Maybe all the eBay people trying to order 30 at a time are the ones who won't get all their orders.
 
I was scared to call them to hear they are cancelling the order. I guess I will call them tomorrow. I ordered 04/13.
 
I printed out a quote number, with the total price being $868.93.

I hope they still take the quote when i order it tomorrow morning.


BTW, pray that these have no dead pixels. Reseller rating for compaq is 2.0 out of 10.0 meaning it might be a hassle to return it.
 
Well, I got some bad news today. I wanted to get a tracking number for my shipment and they told me my order was backordered until the end of the month. 🙁 I guess the person yesterday lied or something because she said it would ship out then, oh well at least I'm still in the running to get my monitor. 🙂
 
Called to get status of order. CSR's received e-mail regarding this monitor applied w/ discounts. They are going to call everybody that bought this monitor and explain the situation. What is the situation? They didn't tell me, they are going to call when they call everybody else.

Situation? What situation? Is it a price mistake that they are renegging on or is it just that they are backordered? I'd keep my order in if it's just a backorder but that would suck if they now claim it's a price mistake. That's like going to a store, seeing a tag with a price for the product you want...going to the checkout....paying for the product...than they tell you oh by the way that is not the real price...aren't they liable for printed store prices? Hence shouldn't they be liable for online store prices?
