Hi ,
This ones for Mastiha , i am in Sydney also and i am buying this monitor.
I was just wondering what service center you took your monitor to for the repair?
Was it Thomas Electronics ESG?
Thanks in advance
I was reading on an Australian forum that a guy had his fixed in 20 minutes while he waited at a service center. centre downunder.

No it runs fine. I have this monitor and I have hooked up my xbox360 via component/vga cable.
However, I find component is too dark but the colours are much more vibrant.
VGA on the other hand has washed out colours but brighter.
This is a general issue with xbox360's vga output.
Take your pick.
Hi Major,
I still have an issue with my BenQ FP241W 1080p monitor.
When I select 1920 x 1080 on PAL60 and my monitor detects it as 1680 x 1050.
I was really hoping that this would fix the problem and others have posted similar issues here:

Edit: Apparantly some people have displays that are having issues with this update. This is being investigated.
P-MVA and S-PVA both suffer from the same kind of issues really, which is accute contrast and colour differences as you move away from the perpendicular view of the screen. In practice, it's not really noticeable to many users at all,
First, let me clear this up... 1080p though Xbox 360 VGA onto the BenQ 24" works perfectly, and looks unbelievably clear, stunningly sharp. However I don't have 1:1, but you can only tell when looking at perfect circles, and even then it's kinda hard. It's nothing compared to the stretching I used to get.
I've also got one on order from NCIX... Although it seems to be stuck in their product availability stage (they have them in stock, so I hope they don't go out of stock)...
I'm concerned with the DVI issue people are talking about... When you get your--or when anybody gets their monitor from NCIX--monitor, can you let us know if you have DVI issues?
Thanks in advance... I'll post if I get mine before that...
I agree. I ended up doing a lot of measuring, and talked my wife into the idea that 37" wasn't too huge...
Gridneo, I've been reading this forum for 3 weeks and finally couldn't take it anymore...ordered my also from NCIX last night. Also stuck in the product availability stage...maybe they're installing the fix
Same concern on the DVI...I have the 9700 pro like somebody previously and they said it did not work after the fix (not sure if it worked before the fix.)
They somehow managed to break my DVI input during the firmware upgrade process...?
Like a lot of people in past replies, can someone with the updated fp241w tell us if the 1:1 works correctly with all the inputs, also does it work it a 4:3 ration(black bars on the sides instead of top/bottom).
Does the update from NCIX void the warranty?
Someone said HDCP didn't work for him over the DVI, can someone with a HDCP component try it please via DVI (with a hdmi to dvi cable if it doesn't have dvi output...)
Thanks!
I live in Mountain View, CA - has anyone gotten their firmware updated around here? I dont want to have to pay 60 dollars in shipping (I'd rather just order from Canada)
You might as well order it from canada. The tax in CA kills the deal for Newegg. With the zero dead pixel coverage and insurance on the package its still cheaper than Newegg. Actually depends on what Newegg is selling it for. at 799 its cheaper in canada and at 769 its almost the same.
If you have made any orders from NCIX and they haven't been processed yet (more than two days from the time you made the order), please send them a priority ticket.
New newegg promo, for anyone interested ($719.99 shipped). Sorry to anyone who just bought this over the past couple of days.
Seems like the prices on these monitors are getting ready to take nice plunge in our favor. This monitor has been steadily moving down towards the $700 mark; the Gateway is under $600 at Circuit City with rebate, I saw the Acer AL2416Wd for around $550 shipped (don't remember where offhand). Although there's a nice price on this at Newegg, I'm not sure that now is a very good time to buy this monitor. There's still the issue of not getting the updated firmware, but aside from that, it seems like competition is already pushing down prices of the monitors currently available, and this should only get better as the recently announced monitors go on the market. We've already seen several fairly good monitors dropping below the $650 or even $600 mark, it makes me wonder how long it will be before this one joins the others.
Hopefully the 24 inchers will soon occupy the sweet price point that the 22's currently have. Waiting definitely sucks, but I have a feeling that if I buy this now I'll be kicking myself in a couple months...
