One Year Replacement Warranty

I'd look for at least a 3 year warranty and make sure they will replace a monitor w/ dead pixels!

1 year isnt horrible, especially at that price. they really shouldnt have to replace like a few dead pixels since well people who send their screens in for that, are abusing the system and driving up costs for the rest of us. i am wondering what the real tech specs are... i doubt it supports dvi, but well yeah.

Everything else there looked ok, I'd still look for a 3 year warranty. Planar has a "customer first" warranty where they 2day out a replacement and then pay for shipping of the defective LCD. I came across a brand I had never heard of (Sceptre) and some of their monitors looked great and at great prices. BUT, they offer a limited 1 year warranty and DON'T replace LCDs with dead pixels and their warranties aren't transferrable. I, for one, think companies should stand behind their products! It pays to read the fine print!

What? Although I agree a dead pixel isn't the end of the world, if I pay $600 for a 17" LCD ... I'm not going to stand dead pixels. Maybe, over time, but not within a year!

I think that's a little backwards! If the prices are driven up too much, people won't buy them. Which will force the manufacturers to make better products and at cheaper prices!!!

Those in the NE can find Envision 17" monitors at BJ's wholesaleclubs B&M for $499. Screen looks great though it only has analog input. BJ is easy with returns.
