The Sonic MyDVD software is borderline useless. I just use other software.. It is a good drive though, I've burned a couple of DVD s at 4X and my Toshiba set top read them just fine.
Robario - I bought it and returned it from Dell SB. When I was setting up the return at Dell I told them about the bad pixels, they never had any problems with the return - I buy alot of stuff from them!
Planar does have a kick arse return policy though, so if you ever do have a problem you can...
I will comment on the 19" Planar. I had a Planar PL-191 monitor about a month ago. I play games so I wanted no ghosting. The monitor ghosted, but not as bad as some other LCDs that I have seen. The occasional gamer would like the PL-191.
I returned my 19" Planar becuase after 3 days it started...
HeinekinMan, One of my other PCs is 440BX based. SP4 fixed my shutdowns. It used to take about 3 minutes for mine to shut down, now it does it as fast as it's supposed to, Everything works good so far. I also installed on a KT266A and nForce 2 motherboards and both are working good.
Serpent: I was thinking about getting the PX191, it certainly sounded like a good deal, I get one later, for now this PX171 is working well.
Cybordolphin: I have seen alot of people have dead pixels with PL191s, even some test models sent to review sites (Gamepc.com comes to mind) had bad...
The PL191M is an updated version of the PL190M, different bezel, etc. but they are basically the same. If you play any games and don't want any ghosting by a PX171 instead (which is what I did).
I bought the PL191M and then returned it, ghosting was too bad, not to mention that my screen...
Vehicles from mid 1995 on are (or are supposed to be) OBD II compliant. I use a computer based diagnostic utility called Vag Com for my Volkswagen, it's alot more versatile than this scanner, but it also costs alot more too. Helps get rid of the good ol CEL :)
Lots of people seem to be getting these with dead pixels. My PL191 has 2 dead pixels.. Poor quality control I guess, hope it gets better!! I also ordered a PX171 and I hope it doesn't have stuck pixels...
Imported: It does start with a letter W. I checked out Airborne's site and the tracking number does work for me, so all is good. It looks like the monitor will be home tomorrow, too bad I'm not there to test it :(
For those of you that are thinking about the PL191 beware:
I got one of these last week and I was not very impressed. The screen had no dead pixels, but has grown 2 dead pixels in two 2 days... Ghosting in games and DVDs is worse than I can bare. Games are still playable, but games like...
