LCD Question

[Intelligen]

Hello,

I've never had a LCD screen but always wanted one. Well my KDS Avitron monitor started to make high pitch noises so I looked up information on my warranty. Came to find out it was barely still under warranty and all i have to pay is for shipping of my own monitor back to KDS. I recieved an email today saying they currently do not have a replacement monitor of my same CRT monitor so instead of offering a replacement for my AV-195TF 19" CRT for the Rad-7 17" LCD. Looking on there website i can only find a Rad-7c not a Rad-7, but i'm figuring they are about the same just a newer model. So my question is, is this a good trade? I am trading up 19" for a 17" but also its a LCD!!! Let me know what you think. Thanx

hell yeah? you kiddin me? If it's a good one and doesn't have dead pixels all over then i'd take it. 19" CRTs are usually about 17.9"s viewable or a really good one would be 18.1"s so you're only missing 1" of screen space.

oh and i'm lazy so post a link

Thats the Rad-7c

Also, I emailed them back seeing what else they COULD offer me. I love the LCD, speakers on the side kinda suck, but you know... 19" is nice also........ i dunno. I see your point that LCDS are nice and they are expensive so i'm probably getting a GOOD trade here. Maybe they'll offer me a 19" LCD :D

i like to look at them before i buy them

Get the replacement 19". Sell it. Go buy a 19" samsung 191T LCD.. I got one. Its the best computer purchase I've evermade. If the 191T is too expensive go with a Samsung 172T or 181T. Or try the new Hitachi CML174 17" LCD..

Well thats the thing though, the replacement 19" would HAVE to be my exact same monitor but they are out and they have no ETA for replacements in warehouse thats why they are offering me a LCD. In fact my monitor i have is no longer made, its discontinued.

Grab it Dude ! I have a Rad 7 & it is Great !

LCDs lose Details in the Shadows (Dark Areas)

Not the best for Photo Editing.

But otherwise You will Love It !

Be Sure to Check any LCD for Dead Pixels as Soon as You get it.

Ok so you have a Rad 7, is it the same as a Rad 7c??? because thats all i can find on their website and a Rad-7xp......

[starfish]

Looks just like the Rad 7xp to Me !

I Like the Silver/Blue & No Speakers.

Sweet!! i hated the speakers for the rad-7c, becuase i have my own altec speakers. So i think i'll probably do it. Anymore advice?? I'm open to hear your words!

Ok this is what it is... it isn't the Rad-7c, its the Rad-7. She said it has same specifications as the Rad-7c but doesnt have speakers and all that crap. She personally came out and told me that the Rad-7c isn't their highest quality in the line. But she did say the this one is great lookin... so take the Rad7c and take off speakers, you got this one. I think i'm going to take the deal.

I priced it, on pricewatch it sells for 453... and i only bought this CRT monitor for 200 bucks. So ya.... Good deal!!!
