19" AOC £299 TFT at ebuyer - anyone got one?

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...vd19wcm9kdWN0X
292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=48839&_LOC=UK

I've found a couple of posts from people saying "hey look, this is cheap"
(kind of like this!), but nothing from anyone who actually has one.

It looks very tempting as I've been chewing over moving from my 15" Samsung
TFT to a 17" TFT for a few months, and for the price this looks a bargain.

Has anyone taken the plunge? If so what do you think - picture, build
quality etc..

regards
Paul

in alt.warez.uk (were I was purely for academic purposes of course)
there's a thread"OT: at last! a brand new 19" TFT Screen for less than
£300..." in which a couple of people say they have one and seem
appreciative but unsure if response rate is good enough for dvd's etc.

It does seem strange the if its such a hot bargain there are not more
reviews on ebuyer.

IIRC, response time is 25ms - should be OK for dvds, but perhaps some ghost
with certain games?

Don't have one, but did find a few things about them. According to
Neoseeker they are also known as Envision Peripheral Inc. in North
America.

http://www.neoseeker.com/Companies/profiles/AOC/

The product page for the monitor is here, the spec makes it looks like a
very good monitor.

http://www.eur.aocmonitor.com/monitors_lm919.html

and this is what the well known Sam of Tekheads had to say when someone
else asked about this monitor 9 days ago.

: Ebuyer doing them for 299+VAT. I'm tempted. Anyone using one?

: I've got an 18". The disappointing thing about the 19" is the resolution
: is still 1280. Still its a good price.

Only thing I haven't found is a review!

I got one last week and just ordered another today. I'm really pleased with
it and, alongside my Iiyama Vision Master Pro, the picture quality is
stunning. Admittedly the Iiyama is a couple of years old and the tube is a
lot softer than it was when new.

I originally ordered an Iiyama Prolite 17" but fortunately they were out of
stock.The AOC has no dead pixels and the only very minor criticism is a
slight darkening along the very left edge of a white screen. Most people
would probably never notice it. The screen area seems massive and is well
over an inch bigger than the Iiyama. I'm not a game player so can't comment
on this aspect, although dvd's play fine.

Bearing in mind that it's got analogue and digital inputs, speakers (of
sorts), and a usb hub it is exceptional value.

Hope that this is of some use to potential buyers!
