That's great. I feel re-assured, I thought it was just me.... I could have one on my desk here in the uk in about twelve hours.... the x800 is a very decent card...

perhaps I should have put the following in bold.... I can't find what I'm looking for from newegg...

Now I live in the UK, but I'm trying to source a video card for a friend of mine in the US. Where do any of you buy your stuff on-line? I can't find what I'm looking for from newegg... I'm after an all-in-wonder ati card... a card with vivo and a tv tuner on... I was hoping to find an...

No joy so far then mate? I haven't had a call back yet, nor have they replied to my email. Woo hoo... err :confused:

uk buyers... had a mail from benq repair people, saying my firmware is sorted and my monitor is back tomorrow.... more then....

Well that's a relief... still waiting to hear any news, mine was collected by repair tech last monday.... :hopefulsmiley:

Well this is the thing... I wasn't entirely convinced that they were in a position to do the firmware fix yet... Either way I'm gonna hassle them to return the monitor within 7 days. I feel like I'm guinea pigging... :D

It does feel a bit pointless...but allegedly the USB slots are jsut pass throughs.... Anyway, its stinging now, as I only have a rubbish monitor knocking round the house,,, :mad:

So, UK buyers.... Some of you may have read that I bought one of these, 635 sterling, from morecomputers.co.uk, manufactured october 2006, but shipped in Jan with the old firmware.... No 1:1 pixel mapping... Now, even though I don't really intend to use it for non PC work, I figured I may as...

i'm gonna fire an email to benq uk, i'll post back what they say...

Hi mate, it was purchased from Morecomputers.com who appear to be holding the only stock in the uk... Everyone else seems to be holding for a few weeks... A little annoyingly I thought that it would have the new firmware, but sadly it doesn't, it'd be a call to benq and a trip to their...

So I finally pulled the trigger here in the uk. 640 GBP, bit of a rip when you see the exchange rate... So I haven't done anything much with it yet, but I'm pretty impressed. I'll do more tomorrow, but the thing I was miost afraid of was the lag issue... Fortunately I am unable to...

Its not that lag is the be-all-and-end-all for me, I just want to wait until I can see quoted figures for it. Less than the 244t would be better, that's all. I'd like to have more screen real estate, without the extra footprint... Like you I don't do too much gaming, but the 244t drove me crazy...

This is the worst thing for me. A lot of people don;t seem to notice the lag, but I found myself wanting to smash the otherwise excellent 244t!! Where as I've seen other eople suggesting that input lag isn't an issue or even doesn't exist!! I'll just have to wait til there's a few more...

Has any one noticed any input lag? These monitors are not available in the UK for another week or so, at least I can't find one to buy... But after a freinds experience with the otherwise fantastic samsung 244t I'm curious...
