Advice about buying monitors
bloody000:
In case anyone wandered into this thread looking for "Advice about buying monitors", I have several:
sRGB (no wide-gamut BS)
one of the PVA or IPS flavors
CCFL (the inferior LED backlights are for eco-terrorists)

@ xShadow: You're right, I am referring to something else. Many of the alternatives are 16:9. I was saying that on one side of the gamble I have the possibility of a defective item, and on the other a slue of annoyances.
As for RMA'ing Newegg product, yeah, I know its a breeze. I also read the return policy for this monitor. If you want to send it back, they will reimburse you for shipping. Sadly, 3 dead pixels don't warrant a return. If there is a major defect, then they will replace the monitor, and reimburse you.
Also, I seem to be very bad at communicating with others. I am often misunderstood and often misunderstand others.

In the pursuit of trying to give myself an excuse to buy one, I went and traded the first PS2 Devil Summoner for couple of Minolta SRT SLRs and six lenses. Now I'm looking for a good deal on a film scanner and some bulk fujichrome. Once I've got all that, I'll have to get a decent monitor for the purposes of image editing :P

Well, if they reimburse shipping, I could probably send it back anyway. One of their folks said that it didn't matter how many dead pixels it had, I could send it back for a replacement.
That being said, I'm not sure if I really give a shit. It just doesn't seem worth it.
