Excuse me whilst 2 of the images are just text, someone thought it was funny to hotlink my images in an eBay auction so I've changed them :D ######

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...ssPageName=WDVW

Hmmm...looks like the person has changed them to their own links now. I see your desktop pictures again.

Well so far ive had 5 monitors off Dell so i wouldnt recommend you get one off them, ALL of them have had dead pixels or some other form of defect and for a monitor of this spec and price even 1 dead pixel is totally unacceptable.

advice: What were your problems with the ones off Eric? I know 2 people who have bought screens off him and they havnt got a single dead pixel. I was thinking of getting my money back off Dell and getting one off him.

After my experience buying from EBAY - Eric bunny.

I would advise save up and buy from Dell or Aria !

Just my bit...

2 screens - 1 month later only just got my refund sorted. !

hi

im really interested in ur experience. please be more specific :D

i consider ordering a 2001fp of ericbunny cause i dont wanna pay

1050?uro at dell germany.

cheers

I think you can get guaranteed dead pixel free ones off eBay.co.uk.

Well, I've been reading up on it. Since Dell has a satisfaction guaranteed policy, you pretty much can keep sending it back till you get a dead pixel free lcd regardless of what they're dead pixel policy is.

I think I may be ordering one soon :)

AndyD: Yes, while their customer satisfaction policy is good, the quality of the stuff they do send out to you isnt, im on my 5th screen now and STILL getting ones with dead pixels sent out.

Ive had to exagerate the truth on a number of occasions or they wouldnt have sent me another monitor.

So they won't send a replacement if it's due to a dead pixel? I'm not sure if I'm willing to spend almost $800 on something they may have dead pixels.

Just buy off the guy at eBay, he takes that hassle away from you, he's the one going back and forth to Dell demanding replacements. Buy off him and it's going to be brand new and guarenteed to be dead-pixel free.

And complaining that Dell are sending you TFTs with dead pixels is stupid, that's why they have dead pixel policies, as do every other manufacturer. Considering there's 1.92 million pixels it's hard to complain when you have 1 or 2 dead pixels, that's the risk you take when buying an LCD.

Yeah, I've been really lucky with Dell and their LCD's. My laptop doesn't gave ant dead pixels, it's a 15" UXGA screen for 1600x1200, got it in 2001. My Dell 17" LCD TV has no dead pixels that I can see either. However, my other LCD, the 17" screen on my iMac has a dead pixel, but its like at the bottom of the screen where I don't notice it anyhow because of the dark backgrounds I generally use on my computers.

Dead pixels are always a risk like Dazzla said. If every company would have a zero dead pixel policy, and insure the screen doesn't have any when it ships, no doubt the costs of the pannel itself would sky rocket, keeping LCD's out of range for even more people.

Yes, but dead pixel policy is not an excuse for companies to send out defective products hoping that the customer won't send them back for a replacement. It also causes poor satisfaction with customers who have to go through the hassle of sending back the monitor 5 or 6 times to get a good one.

Dead pixels are an inherent risk when buying LCD, that's why I usually buy them at the store, so I can check right there if there are dead pixels. The problem with Dell is that you can't really buy them at Best Buy. Having said that, I wouldn't really nit pick on one or two dead pixels on a 20" screen unless they're really noticable.

Before I bought from him, I phoned him to ask a few questions..

As the conversation went on he asked me to buy from HIM not via Ebay.

So I ordered direct from him and saved a couple of pounds...

The monitor arrived and had 40+ dead pixels..

I arranged a return with him @ my cost.

The second monitor arrived with dead pixels and a bad back light problem..

I contacted him again and was told to return the screen @ my cost !

As this was the second screen, I asked for a refund and was told NO REFUNDS (thats the terms on EBAY)

He offered a guarenteed screen, but I would have to wait 10 - 12 Days... So I waited.. and waited.... and you get the ide:(:(

In the end I decided the refund was the best way to go... But he doesn't give refunds..

I had to contact my local trading standards, and threaten to report him to Ebay for trading off site.. in the end I had the cost of the TFT refunded.

I was left out of pocket by about ?40.. as he advertises in UK ? but bills in USD $ I was charged by my credit card company for the transfers.. both for the original order and the refund... My card company DID refund these to me..

I was another ?30 out as I had to pay to return the screens to him... After a month he finally agreed to send me a cheque for this...

The warrenty on these screens CANNOT be transtered to the end user.. So any problems and you have to go back through him... I decided I didn't trust him or know if he'd be around for the 3 years !

Cheers

As long as you know the name of the person who ordered the screens from Dell and the order number, they will deal with you and replace the screens direct to you. A friend bought mine as he got a discount for ordering 2 at the same time and ive had no problems getting replacements, just fed up of receiving defective ones.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
