I got a Viewsonic VX912 that fitted this critera, and it was a very nice
monitor, with no bluring in games or DVD playback, unfortunatly, mine
had a stuck pixel, so it went back (otherwise it was a very nice
monitor). Am waiting for the technology to mature, or somebody offer a
proper 0 dead pixel guarentee at the right price..

On what grounds did you send it back? AIUI, DSR does not let one open
the box and use the item, it just allows the same as one would get in
a store. Well done anyway g.

What has stopped me buying an LCD is that some of my games will not
run at the native resolution; whilst for those that will, my PC would
struggle a bit. I prefer (slightly) lower resolutions and FSAA etc
enabled.

DSR is sketchy in this area, I was very carefull when unpacking, and did
not mention the stuck pixel (as that implies powering it up), simply
returning it under DSR. I lost £15 in postage, and learnt a lesson...

Surely that makes the item imperfect and unfit for the purpose
intended and it can be returned under Sale of Goods legislation ..??

Not at all. The standards to which TFTs are made allow for a certain
number/grouping of faulty pixels. Only if this standard is exceeded
could the SoGA be invoked.

unfortunalty not... If you sell TFT panels, they have a special
clause... Hard to believe, but true...

Mine only had 1 stuck pixel, but it was stuck green, in a very noticable
spot, and was VERY noticable pretty much all the time. There was no way
I was spending £400 and not be 100% satisfied.

Spending the money that was destined for the TFT on a AMD64 chip and
mobo. Gonna shop with the company I bought the TFT from, so I don't
feel so guilty!!! :-)
