ThePhantom...

If it's not too much trouble, could you (or anyone else) please post a review after you've gotten a chance to play with it?

I would like to know if there's any backlight bleeding, the sharpness, the brightness of screen, if there's any ghosting, the build quality, etc.

Oh, and pictures would be nice too.....

OOS

I have already ordered this monitor from costco.com, but am a little worried now that I don't see it listed anymore. Would this mean that its sold out or something? I would think that if this were the case they would at least allow you to access the product page though. Any thoughts?

 

[AnotherGuy]

yeah man frikin wierd...

Deal is back up, it seems costco doesn't want too many people to find out about it, so they keep changing the link

The link is the same as before, the OP's link was the link to the announcement of the deal, hwan's link was the first link to the actual item and still works, although it did disappear when it was OOS, but it's back now. I think costco's site just takes an item off when they go OOS instead of saying OOS.

I would cry. If true, good thing I haven't ordered yet.

ugh went ahead and bought one... bleh

I refuse to odrer until i get some definitive info on the panel type, i went down to costco and picked up a raincheck yesterday in case i have to wait until the sale is over to get to see a review and make up my mind, anyone considering buying one should do the same if you want to wait for some facts but not miss the bus on this insane price.

I agree. I was ready to jump on this deal when it first went live, since it looked like the perfect 22" panel...but I started noticing it had similar specs to other 22" TN panels, and figured I'd hold off while I tried to contact Sceptre support to see if they'd shed some light on it for me.

in case anyone cared, this viewsonic is instant $50 off at checkout- so $299+sh+tax
http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?prodid=11163877
no hdmi, no usb, lower contrast ratio and nits, but does have 3yr manufacturer warranty in case non-TV LCD monitors are classified as "computers" at costco. ANd of course, no rebate to mail in(maybe not?)/ submit.

Not sure if it makes a difference to anyone, but I don't think you have to mail anything...note on the product page says "Once you have received your ship confirmation email, visit the costco.com rebate center to submit your rebate online. For additional details and restrictions contact Costco Member Services at 1-877-726-7826."

Anyway, with Costco's return policy, I'm thinking I'll just order this thing and if it sucks I'll take it back... If someone beats me to it, POST REVIEWS!!!

We got tons of them at the Costco I go to. I was planning on getting a pair, but my 32" LCD HDTV is right next to the computer, so I'm gonna output to the 22" ViewSonic and 32" Sharp, simultaneously!

 

[BlackPear1]

Are you referring to the Sceptre that's the subject of this thread or the Viewsonic that's in stock at most Costco stores?

 

[Baked]

Oops, wrong monitor.
