Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I have a 632. The power cable you have is only for the backlight. The panel is actually powered via the serial port. The back light only comes on briefly during POST and then again when the software actually loads. The Panel can function and display Characters with out the back light power...
Another Vote for ZipZoomFly. I've been ordering from them for a long while without any Issues. They Used to be called Google Gear. I think Google got a little upset at them though.

Hehe ... I understand.
Side Note: the Silver Viewsonic really isn't too bad. only the front bezel is silver. the stand and the back of the display are still black.
Also I wonder why the Silver has a manufacture rebate but the black doesn't. I'm going to send in the rebate form anyway, won't...
I got mine from zipzoomfly two weeks ago. Free 2nd day shipping and no Tax, but I see they are also out of stock currently.
Compusa has the VP171S. (Same monitor but silver) for $599.00 with $100.00 mail in rebate. it says instock on their web site.

I just bought two of them for work. The colors are vivid and picture is sharp. I don't really like the Stand (no Height or Swivel adjustment) as far as aesthetics go, it's kind of "plain Jane". There are other more attractive Monitors. (My Opinion) No DVI/Digital Input. I would buy/own one if I...
I sold my Dell 19" P991 and replaced it with the Viewsonic for my secondary workstation. I 've played BF1942 and Call of duty on it as well as watched Fast & Furious and Goldeneye without issue. The image is Bright & Clear and Colors are Vivid. I'm very pleased so far. I'm sure you will be too...
I ordered a 1760NX from Dell on Dec 30th during the last 15% off sale. Got email telling me it wouldn't ship until the Jan 6th. On Jan 6th I received another email telling me it wouldn't ship until the 13th. I didn't want to wait that long so I cancelled and ordered a VP171p from else where...
It's part of the driver suite for an Nvidia card. It's called Nview. you can have it duplicate/Clone the desktop or be an extension of the desktop. you can even have different resolutions and refresh rate for each monitor.
I'm Sure ATI has the same thing. Just look through the display's...
Just received a VP171B today. Couldn't be happier so far. played a little Call of Duty and BF1942 as well as watched 007:Goldeneye on it without issue.
