no/no
guarantee that it works when you open it up the first time.

you can always go to microbytes for a warranty. bring $300 more though

It's called the 5/5 warranty... 5 minutes or after you walk away 5 feet, whichever comes first!

I am in the market for a big monitor... but you can get the same one brand new with a 3 year warranty for $1079CAN! You only pay 1 tax with them... and they do free shipping in Dec for Xmas...

Prices have been falling dramatically on LCD monitors thanks to an overproduction of them by Samsung/LG-Phillips. You can easily get a 19" 16ms response for 600$ nowadays. I think you should somehow lower your price a bit especially with no warranty on them..

I have bought a ton of stuff from Tiger and have always been very happy with them...

As far as 19" screens go... they are selling in the $400 range now (16MS and a 3 year warranty!!!)... do a news search on LCD prices and you will see that prices are dropping like MAD!!!

I would rather have 2 19"ers set up in a dual head display over a single 20" for the same money

Even Futureshop is selling 19"ers for $599 And we all know how overpriced they are!!!

yup....actually my advice for everyone would be to wait for christmas (boxing day-ish) to buy LCDs. just talked to a friend in the industry and there are nice surprises ahead. the next "batch" coming in will be ridiculously priced (read- everyone will want to get a 17" instead of a CRT monitor).

I'll keep this 20.1" for myself, since it's brand new, and well...I have it already

but if someone wants a deal on that viewsonic with 2 burnt pixels (one of the rare LCDs that does 1600x1200 or 1200x1600 by tilting the screen), then pm me. they are going for $1000+tax at microbytes (new price this morning)

regards,
Liam

In reply to boxster boy. One deal is at dell.ca, 19" monitor 1905fp, you get a free 15% off coupon on peripherals (monitors etc). Monitors regular price is 599$ + free shipping, after the coupon comes up to around 560-570$ with taxes. 20ms response time, dvi input. A good monitor overall. And Dells warratny is top notch. I would suggest listening to Veritech, monitors are falling dramatically and there should be an even bigger price fall during christmas/beginning of january.
