hey the deal's dead, but for those who wanna know, the pixel response rate on the microtek monitor is 27ms...not too bad. i also picked up a rad-5 and that has a response rate of 25ms. i'm going to test them out soon.
however, the microtek's viewing angles are much crappier than the rad-5. 120X100 instead of 150X120.
In the store, the rad-5 looked much clearer and i'd say it was worth the extra money. however, the microtek was hooked up to a brand-x emachines card. so i dont think that's a fair comparison. i'm going to test them both out right now.
might i add that under microtek's warranty, they must first receive the monitor, and then they send one back...which means downtime.
KDS is really nice because they will issue a RMA and send a monitor in advance, so you'll never be without one.
is it true that kds is chapter 11? i wonder if KDS's KARES program will stay in effect. if it will, ill spend more and keep the KDS. My stuff takes a little abuse, and I can't be without a monitor for like 3 weeks just because a few pixels die.
