    Just ordered the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA

    lol, in a word. Yes! In a few more, IMHO there aren't any other options to even consider for an IPS panel at $200ish!

    Just ordered the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA

    After having used mine for a few days, wanted to say I'm very happy with the purchase. I have no dead pixels, excessive or pronounced backlight bleed, uniformity issues, etc. I also have two 20wmgx2, and just returned a Planar PX2611W. After falling in love with the 20wmgx2, I wanted a bigger...

    What OS? In XP you can install the profile by right-clicking on the .icc file. You will then need an application to load it. Check out the Microsoft Color Control Panel Applet. Its free and simple to use. Not sure in Vista, as I'm running Win7beta instead. But should be the same. In which...

    Just ordered the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA

    Panel is e-IPS. On a side note, this model is rapidly gaining popularity. I've noticed it starting to pop up on threads in various "bargain" or "great deal" sites, with links back to this thread. If anyone is on the the fence I would suggest buying one quickly. Sooner than later they are...

    If you found a gem of a monitor resurface for a fraction of its cost...

    fwiw, I contacted NEC and they sent me two free remotes since I did not get them from Directron. I did had to wait a week or so for them to get them back in stock. The first person I talked to tried to argue again that the monitors had no warranty, then I referenced Ross Keener and his chat...

    Ikasu, thanks for taking the time to chat with NEC and post the log. That's great news and hopefully will help clear up any of their other tech's confusion. Good timing, because if you remember from my previous post Directron advised me to 'register' on NEC's site to validate/activate the one...

    Well, it was my impression that NEC's tech support can not determine which resellers are authorized, but their RMA dept does. Which is why when I phoned NEC tech he had me fax my receipt to their RMA. Remember, initially he did say it had a 90 day, but the RMA dept shot that down as being...

    J W, where did you purchase your display from? Khai from Directron called me back and offered no information, other than to call the RMA at ext 1747, which I did several times before reaching an Alfonso. Alfonso seemed a little confused at first, and wanted to call someone (not sure if it...

    Has anyone requested and received warranty work from NEC that has purchased their display from Directron? Faxed my Directron receipt to NEC this morning, they confirmed receipt and emailed me asking to call in. After phoning in they told me the monitor was considered purchased 'second-hand'...

    No backlight bleeding, no dead pixels or any banding. And not even a hint of those vertical lines like you have boneshack, I'd send it in. What I didn't get is a friggin remote. :mad:

    Well, I just got off the phone with NEC's display tech support and was told some interesting information. The tech was very familiar with this display and spoke highly of it. Said it was a steal at the current refurb prices, but we knew that :) You can determine your build date by looking at...

    DoubleSight DS-263N - 26"

    I noticed PCNation has them in stock as well. However their return policy looks a little iffy: ** All items being returned for a refund or exchanged for a non-identical item are subject to a 15% return processing fee. Minimum return-processing fee for any refund or credit is $15.00 So...

    DoubleSight DS-263N - 26"

    What's to convince? It has all the features that you are looking for except size and price. Both of those concerns could be answered by purchasing a 20WMGX2 from Directron while supplies last. Better hurry.

    Still would like to purchase a remote if anyone would like to sell theirs. Thanks.
