Hi I am from the u.k first of all to get the currency right :>

Now I have been looking around for a high quality 19" tft. Its come down to either the VX912 or the VP912. I want to know is there any real difference between the two apart from the £80 extra for the VP. All I can see really is the higher brightness level, advertised as HD ready and its swivel base. Is it worth the extra money for this? Also what sucks is that we are only getting the VP in silver. Does it still look good in this color?

What I have been told by a shop is the VP has an extra chipset that allows it to run at its non native resolution and still look good. Also I was told by them that yes the glossy coat has been removed but has instead been but underneath the cover and not on top of it. Is this true?

Can people please give their honest opinion as I don’t want to make the same mistake I made with the neovo f-419.

BTW here are the specs of the monitors from the European site for both of the monitors:

Well, you are lucky one if you buy VP 912 S.
It is european version of the VP 912 B, and the most important diffrence is that VP912s has got a new H3 glare (its anti-reflections surfaces). Its brilliant for games and movies. Not avaible in Poland :(
My choice - VP 912s.
Greetings,

a new coating?!! Where did you hear about this. Does it still have the same issues with the other coating?

BTW im affording it cause i need a monitor to last the nexr 4yrs or so through uni. thats why i need it to work well at its non native resolution as i wont be playing games that high resolution with a uni budget :p
 
Hi !
Check this :
(details below - H3, TCO '03)

and this :
(details spec. - H2, TCO '99)

acctually there is no info about ver. of H (glass surface - anti glare) but i'm sure in VP 912b is oldest one.
Besides this two things - european ver is avaible only silver and us only black.
My advice is - take VP 912s.

Its pretty nice monitor ! Amaizing design :)

greetings,

Peacemaker.
