Well, this will be my first post here @ Anandtech.com...
I found this thread the other day by happenstance, and read all 8 million posts, dating back all the way to February or March or whenever...I use my computer a lot for watching movies in bed, and I'd been wanting to upgrade to a larger screen for some time, but they are so gawd-awful expensive usually...
Anyway, I read about the clean monitors, and about the great customer service over there at allthingstech.com...Then I went onto their site and found out the monitors were out of stock..bummer...This was about last Wednesday (9th)...
So, I called, they said hopefully they'd have some in 2 weeks or so, but if I placed my order right now, I'd be first on the list for one when they came in.
So I did, Thursday I ordered one. Monday I called and they said that it had come in and would ship that day (still said out of stock on the site). I check airborne express, and it says delivery date will be the 17th (today!)
Well, wouldn't you know it was sitting on my porch when i got home YESTERDAY.
Not a yellow spot on the case, not a crack, nor a rubbed off button on the screen...not a burnt spot on the screen...even had brand new unwrapped vga cable and power wire.
Needless to say, I'm impressed.
As to the size...Well, I traded up from a CTX PL9 19 inch to this...The casing is about the same size..The 19 inch weighed 41 lbs, the 21 inch weighs 71...But the screen...ahhhhhh Only 2 inches wider and 1 inch taller, but BOY, I tell ya...I used to have to squint from my bed (10 feet maybe) to watch wide-screen movies, now...no worries...like watching a really sharp tv...
Anyway, that's my scoop!
