Also, I was at Fry's the other day about to purchase a monitor, and the sales person informed me that they now charge a restocking fee. Ended up not purchasing the monitor and went to BBuy and picked it up.
I am telling you this in case you were looking to walk in and purchase this at a Brick and Mortar store you will need to make sure you are going to keep this thing. Buyers remorse will cost you.
#2, the monitor is out on display where you can see the picture, poke the buttons, etc., right?
If so, what need is there to return it and incur a restocking fee? If it breaks within the return period they would replace it without fee, otherwise it doesn't bother me a bit to penalize customers that buy something then decide they don't want it... because it drives up retailer prices which they'd otherwise have to pass along to me.
Granted, you have to go to the B&M to see it, I'd never buy any several hundred dollar or more monitor or TV over the internet without seeing the model in person first unless it received extremely good reviews from different sources.
Easy answer. The VGA feed that was going to 50 monitors does not tell you much on the video quality of a monitor. If you ever buy a TV from a B&M you know that you can never go by the display as usually non are calibrated. They unbox and put them up there. But this is the way I look at it. If you have no issue with restock fees then that is fine. To each his own.
This might seem like a good deal.... But, it comes with NO 3D GLASSES!!! and there $89 each at Amazon.
