Guys, right now buy.com at ebay is selling this monitor for $289, plus the current 8% cash back, it is indeed a good price. You can even choose free shipping in the checkout process.
Well, thanks BF-2. I guess the customer service at NEC just fooled me last time. I will keep a copy of the message you posted in case I need warranty service in the future.
BTW, I pulled the trigger for the $305-20%BCB=$244 from buy.com ebay store.
I once had a NEC LCD monitor bought from overstock.com. When I requested a warranty service from NEC (they did asked for purchase receipt), I was told overstock is not NEC authorized reseller and they refused warranty coverage because of that.
Got my LP2475w from ebay, it's brand new since the seller is buy.com. I used a 10% ebay coupon plus the 8% bing cash back. Final price is $460 for a brand new unit with 3 year warranty, not bad.
Perfect screen as I see, although the overall color/image quality is not as good as my NEC 2490WUXi.
I just catch the last deal on 2408WFP for $450. Now the order is shipped out today, I am only hoping it's a new revision with the input lag issue resolved.
Good to hear that, I got a Rocketfish case too. I heard that Xigmatek announced a second generaion of HDT-1283, I might try that one once it's on sale at newegg.
I think Creative is dumb to charge customers $10 for the Alchemy driver of old sound card to begin with. It only make people feel repugnance to this company.
