Old question .. what do they do with the ones that fail the pixel check? a) Sell them cheaper as B-grade b) Sell them to people who don't pay for the pixel check This question was answered by Aria in one of the customer comments on their website. The answer was that they return them to their supplier. I would have thought that if a monitor has x dead pixel(s) and it is a class II TFT then, regardless of peoples opinions on whether it should have any dead pixels or not, it would have just been sold as long as it doesn't exceed that tolerance. That thought, valid or not, would always make me wary of buying a TFT from Aria without a dead pixel check. If they do go back to the supplier what is the betting that they in turn just sell them on...? -- Regards Morgan Hard drive noise... www.flyinglizard.freeserve.co.uk |

They can be found at www.refreshcomputers.com Charges vary depending on the panel size. I have not had any of their TFT's though, but I have boughts discs, memory, lighting kits and cases from there. Living locally, I can't vouch for their returns handling for mail order, as I just jump on the No. 41 bus and the procedure seems to consist of 'This is Duff', "Ok, have another one", 'Thanks'. |
