most of their items are refurbished but since this gateway monitor it could be just open box monitor. I wonder how much shipping is BTW Gateway monitors made by AOC

 

[Riskhk]

Im guessing its refurbished I dont think Gateway would just sell a monitor

 

[j00]

it's refurbished, do a search thing on the products page and it shows up with RB next to it=refurbished

 

[giant96]

It looks like it is actually a Mitsubishi 91TXM Diamond pro made for gateway..i have a Normal 19" EV900 and i likie it but i may upgrade to this...

 

[UNKNOWNDUDE]

[MADCAP]

The page clearly says $35.

 

[Mixxen]

DiamondTron Not a bad moniter =)

 

[Mihir]

Are all Trinitrons flat screen?

 

[GMaximus]

Nope

 

[peaceout]

I just ordered one... I hope it's a good deal.. looked like one to me.

What's the maximum refresh rate of these things in lower resolutions? Like if i was playing Quake 3 in 640 x 480 or 800 x 600...

Also, whoever ordered these, give us your opinions on the monitors so the rest of us can make a wise decision. A poor ass college student like me cannot take chanced

 

[XzeroR3]

well don't all games default to 60hz refresh rate???

BE CAREFUL !!!

I just checked the resellerratings.com and this company has a really bad evaluation overall(3.3/7.0). some people got non-working monitors. judge by yourself.

Guys,
I am confused which monitor are good for me between
this two:
1/ Gateway Vivitron 1100 -- .28mm dot pitch/ 19.7"
VIS/ 21" Trinitron Monitor -> RB
PRICE: $259.00 + $35
or 2/ Compaq 19-Inch Presario 1600 x 1200 Monitor, MV920
PRICE: $308 - $100 rebate -> brand new

Let me know which one should I buy?

Thanks

aatechforum,

It's worse than you think. Intellesale used to be called Data Path Technologies. Not only did Intellesale get 3.3/7.0 but Data Path got 1.3/7.0!!! Customer after customer saying how they got DOA equipment and supposedly "refurbished" items that had all sorts of defects. Not to mention, it taking months to get items shipped and even longer to try and get refunds. I would seriously avoid this company.

Go to http://www.resellerratings.com/ and see for yourselves.

After hearing these bad things about the company, I tried to call Intellesale to cancel my order. I ordered the monitor at 11am.. it's 12pm now and apparently the order will not be in their system until late afternoon. Slow.... hope I get my cancelation in on time.

GET the new 19" compaq b4 u get this junky 21"!!!!

 

[Empire_DNH]

okie!

just order the new 19" compag for total of $308.00

cross my finger on -$100.00 rebate

 

[VivYip]

This is going to sound bad, but is the compaq monitor the one from mercata or what? i would like to buy a 19" monitor, too...

 

[Braxus]

Well I bought from these guys before when they had the Dell/Sony 20 inch monitor deal. They had problems with my credit card and took them 2 weeks to get that fixed... took them another three weeks to ship my monitor. Although I did get the monitor (well packaged might I add) and am fairly satisified with it, I wouldn't buy from them again. They took forever to get things done. Called them a couple of times by phone and no one even picked up!

I've been looking for a decent 21" monitor to use as a second monitor for my multimonitor setup, so I ordered one of these yesterday around 6:00am - before the negative posts about this company began showing up. Note to self: Stop browsing this forum early in the morning when I'm too drowsy to check a company's ratings

Checked my email few hours later and found out that my order had already been approved and shipped via FedEx 2nd day ($294 total). Just tracked the package and it should arrive sometime tomorrow.

So far so good - hopefully this company has improved a bit. I don't have any Mercata $$ left and I've had REALLY bad experiences with Compaq hardware, so that deal on the 19" compaqs isn't an option for me unless this deal doesn't work out.

So I'll keep you posted.....

Update:The monitor arrived yesterday (2 1/2 days after clicking the "order" button). I was initially disappointed with the image because of a bit of ghosting, but after switching their junky VGA cord the problem went away.

Very nice deal - I guess they've improved or I just got lucky....

Did anyone else try this with any success?

I decided to attempt this gamble.
I get a corporate discount through Nortel Networks and they gave it to me for only $220. They didn't ask for anything except what the name of the company was.

I hope I luck out and get a huge monitor for this great price of $220 + $35 2-day shipping. ($255 is an awsome price)

I've posted this before, but if your in the market for some top notch 3yr. old equipment(if there is such a thing) such as Monitors and Laptops check out secondwindpc for the pristine stuff that this local(Michigan) leasing company gets back and resells. Paid $269 plus $35 shipping for a Cornerstone 21".
