Monitor is less than 6 months old, currently being used as the centre of our home entertainment system. It supports D-SUB, DVI-D, Component, Composite and S-Video inputs, all can be used simultaneously except for D-SUB and DVI-D which can't be used together.

I have all original packaging and cables, balance of 3 year, next business day replacement, parts warranty.

Retailed for about $1,600 when I bought it. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, no dead pixels, no faults, nothing, selling because I need cash pretty bad after being screwed by my old job while moving house heh >_<

I am asking $1,000 + postage to wherever.

I live on the Gold Coast and can obviously organise pickup from anywhere nearby.

Email is the best way to reach me ([email protected]), I'll check back here as often as I can but I can check email more.

Cheers,

Ben.

600, pics?

$600 is a tad low don't you think? It's less than 6 months old, in perfect condition, all original packaging with 2.5+ years left on next business day replacement warranty... The new model 2407FPW is out, retailing for $1,599 and the only difference between the two is HDMI support over DVI-D. $900 + postage would be the lowest I'd go, anything less and it's not worth selling, sorry. (Just checked the current ebay asking price, and it sits on average at US$600 + US$80 postage.)

I don't have a digital camera so I can't take pics of my exact screen but I'll give you some links to reviews with pics, I can't do much better than that.

Tom's Hardware Review

In regards to the Tom's Hardware review, in the end of the review they say the monitor's latency isn't acceptable for gaming and that ghosting is very evident in both gaming and movies. I can say from experience that this is in fact not true. Games are unbelievable on this screen and movies are just as good. The viewing angle is awsome, as I said it's currently being used as the display for our home theatre, DVDs are watchable from any angle of our lounge room with no problems at all.

ouch, that Tom's Hardware review bags it a few different ways ....

$700?

Heh, I included Tomshardware because they are quite professional in their reviews, also because I am very confident with the monitor itself. They point out some flaws yes, but they also say that it has some of the absolute best results of any monitor they'd tested to date, two extremes, you have to consider both.

In regards to them bagging it a few different ways, as I said, the ghosting is not visible. I am/was an avid gamer, playing everything from Quake4, FEAR, WoW on it, and they were spectacular, I never noticed any ghosting to speak of. Same with movies, my roommates and I currently watch movies on it nightly, every person who comes over and sees a movie on it for the first time, comments on how awsome it is for watching DVDs on, those parts of the Tomshardware review I can refute from experience, and can only put their results down to the fact that they are extremely picky, which they are.

$900 I'll do, but it is in perfect condition as I've said, it's just not worth me selling it less. Besides, $700 won't cover the bills I'm selling it to pay so it voids the entire reason for the sale :)

It's a great monitor and while I appreciate the offers, I honestly can't afford to sell it below $900, even if I wanted to. It is well worth the money and you wouldn't be disappointed with it at all. Balance of warranty, 3 years next business day replacement on parts, full box, all cables, everything, like new.

Cheers,

Ben.

just saw one from the link but its not too clear

Sorry for the late update people, internet crapped out last day or so. Currently have a sale in the works at $1,000. I've gotten two PMs, both have been replied to, if the sale falls through I'll update again.

Sorry again for the late update.

Cheers,

Ben.

my housemate has the exact same monitor, running on a 7900GTX... no ghosting, absolutely great for games.

im actually in the process of getting one myself..

Thanks for the support, it is a brilliant monitor. I ran it on a 7800GTX before we moved house and started using it for home entertainment. Would love to see an xbox360 on it *drool*.

Still waiting on confirm/deny of current sale. Will update.

Ok, seems the friend is now unsure as to whether or not he wants the screen because now he wants a skyline, who can blame him though? Lol.

I've received 3 pm/emails in regards to people interested in buying it for $800+postage. I am going to the post office after I finish posting this with the box measurements, I'm going to get a freight+insurance cost and then post that info here.

I will be replying to the 3 pm/emails I've received and the first person to get back to me with a definite yes gets first dibs.

Cheers,

Ben.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
