in case i encounter anything down the road. I don't exactly spend $600 on a display every day. thanks for not answering my question

ditto, mine just arrived today, manufactured May 2007. Are there any issues regarding that production date?

that is indeed good news, way to be persistent!

NOT TRUE!! You should return the item to LG and request a refund of your purchase price. A TN panel is inferior, and not what you purchased. Try to contact someone above the customer service level as they can probably be more flexible with *policy*.

also, my suspicion is that *if* any new models come out it will be quite a while before they are in the price bracket of the models I was considering.

245 and 246 models are basically the same, 245 was meant for online retailers, 246 for brick and morter so they couldn't price match (or so I've been told) While provantage has pretty good ratings, I'd also go with newegg (if I didn't live in NJ and be forced to pay sales tax)

BenQ FP241w substitutes: 1. buy the VW and a VESA arm and cut the silver casing off! 2. consider the Planar px2411w (samsung S-PVA I believe), buy.com has it for $600.xx, and newegg has it for close to that. (has hdcp but no 1:1, warranty is 3 years for 3+ dead pixels - pays shipping both...

finally found a 245wp, from Provantage. They had 4 last night when I ordered, now they are down to one, $602.00 http://www.provantage.com/lg-electronics-l245wp-bn~7LGEL03X.htm

all right, after diligence I've found a place that stocks the older 245. Can anyone summarize what I'll be missing in this one over the 246? (especially if the 245 has hdcp?) also, any reason to be *overly* alarmed with ordering from here: http://salestores.com/lgl245wp.html 6.6/10...

there's a display model at the secaucus nj BB, if anyone's interested.

I've been looking at the planar: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824016092 Not too many reviews. Planar makes a lot of medical displays so I'm assuming the quality is on the higher end. I'm also curious if the '241' indicates any resemblance to the previous benq r.i.p...

so that's who got the last one from newegg!! :) since these are all OOS anyone know if you can remove the gawdawful stand on the FP241vw?? I know that it has vesa mounts, but those seem pointless with the stand on it.

I wanted to buy the FP241w but they're OOS almost everywhere, Since this one has the VESA connection, how hard would it be to remove the stupid silver frame?

Now that the BenQ FP241W and LG L246WP are discounted (and nearly impossible to find) can anyone recommend a substitute in the $500-$600 range? With many of the lcd threads dating back to '06 I thought a new thread might be in order. I've been looking at the Planar...
