I got my monitor from newegg today and it's beautiful compared to my old VP171s. The packaging is a bit on the slim side though. Thank goodness it only had to go through one UPS sorting facility before it was out for delivery.
Before I get to the photos...I have to say so far I am 100% happy with the decision to go with this monitor. It has one pixel that seems to be dead (it is black) in the upper left of the screen not to bad. It is in the address bar of IE. You guys have mentioned some ways to massage a pixel?
I did use another base besides the one that came with it though. I took the base off a HP 1925 and put on here. Made a world of difference, highly recommend you get one if you purchase this monitor.
To the packaging...
Here is a front top down view of the box before opening:
You can see it has a standard circular sticker seal over the top flap but it wasnt attached to cleanly:
Opening the top flap and see some nice warnings printed there:
Now with the top totally open we see the monitor is sandwiched between two pieces of styrofoam:
Here is the monitor face down with everything that comes with it. For some reason the VGA cable was already attached. Is this standard or did I get the benefit of someones return?
Finally a second look at the packaging:
