Obviously a TN panel.

Woah! I've never even heard of that site before. Damn, I need to keep looking.

[Speedv1]

Decent review online (http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=678&type=overview).. It's a TN panel - just keep that in mind. As the reviewer said it was his only piece of disappointment but was overall pleased.

At NCIX it's $289.99 after MIR (PM opportunity). So good find.

[Wyler12]

Contrast Ratio is pretty good, 20000:1. I'm on a Samsung with a 3000:1 lol, I need a new one. I can't wait for my other one to come in.

I got a 25$ shipping fee, comes to YOUR TOTAL $347.77 But with that mail-in-rebate I still basically get the shipping free. But also, your deal is Open Box (aka used) and refurbished. I still don't know what one to decide on. lol

[wpgcabby]

Does NCIX match and then top it off with a percentage of difference? IF not why even bother price matching and just buy it from the other place.

This has me tempted to cancel my 24" Acer order

[KrayZeeMofo]

Anyone know what the lowest price was for this monitor?
Thanks

If you do the math (with the shipping to my address) they're 10$ away from each other (discluding MIR) But if you were to add the MIR into it, the price would be cheaper by 30$ so basically, free shipping. But you gotta to the MIR or it's just a 10$ off away deal.

Edit: But keep in mind, the other one that was posted is refurbished and open box'd.

[Wyler12]

My link: $351.77 - ships in 1day

Other guys link: - ships in 1-2days, open boxed/refurbished.
$344.77
-$30.00 MIR
$314.77

I still can't decide if I want to pay for a used or new monitor.

Theres one open box monitor, but thats not the unit that you add to the cart.

[wpgcabby]

They have the new one on the site also, it is $379. Thats what I put in for the price match when I went through. http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=39129&vpn=VW266H&manufacture=ASUS

The site said that it was more then a 20% difference and that perhaps I was trying to match an american price and they would invetigate and get back to me.

Couldn't you use a manufactures rebate regardless of where you purchased it from or is it vendor specific?

[fakishan]

Check the mail in rebate form, they usually mention if the rebate is specific to a store.

Ordered. Hopefully they'll price match. :D

Thanks a bunch, very nice bang for the buck monitor!

That's cool. So if you live around there you can get it cheeper? (minus the shipping). But eh, we really don't know if that's legit.

and add to the PM + MIR + s/h promo, no PST for residents outside BC

if the PM goes thru, i'd say it's a pretty good deal

[Brownbay]

Not a bad deal, but isn't Asus's dead pixel policy something like 8 or more. I've found that in the past NCIX is a real pain to deal with if you aren't satisfied with a product or believe that it's defective.

i forgot... for those in ON, if you order f/ NCIX, you also save $ on the EHF... even more savings


BTW, for those intending to PM and take advantage of the [URL=http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/ncix-3-shipping-code-october-16-18th-802444]cheap s/h promo[/QUOTE], the code is supposed to expire Sun. night (tom.)... not much time left

[Wyler12]

Resident's outside of B.C Save even more? This is making me thinking on canceling my Samsung 26".

[wpgcabby]

Couldn't ressit this deal and did the price match with NCIX as well even though I hate MIR. Hopefully I can get my other order cancelled or I will have a 24" and a 26" at home!

[aasoror]

I was just about to order this with express coverage, then I found the following:

IMPORTANT: Please inspect your merchandise for dead pixels and other defects BEFORE processing and sending in manufacturer's rebates, and other promotional offers. Express Coverage will not be honoured if the product box or UPC code is missing or defaced.

Does this mean that if you want to do the MIR you can't benifit from the 1 year extended warranty ..?

[chomsky71]

NCIX did match the price, but now I'm wondering if they will still send the rebate with the monitor.

I'll contact them on monday to figure it out.

[HeatSeeker]

Can anyone confirm that this has a built in webcam? The onhop site says it has one built in but the Asus site doesn't mention it.

[Myv]

"NOTE: ExpressRMA service does not include coverage on dead pixels on LCD monitors, projectors, televisions or notebook computers. Please purchase additional coverage Express Coverage for LCDs for additional coverage. Only DOA (will not power on) products in those categories will be covered with ExpressRMA."

it does not, the VK266H does

[Don DiGuapo]

This is a great price, but since these guys insist on charging GST & PST, I'll only use them to PM.

The rebate is from Asus not NCIX. Download this PDF and follow the instructions and hopefully a $30 cheque will come in the mail :)

True, I am referring to Express Coverage not Express RMA

[Myv]

Oh, how do you apply for the Express Coverage?

[wpgcabby]

Its an option during checkout.

[Wyler12]

Its an option during checkout.

I would imagine it's pretty expensive?

Oh, not that bad. Still, nice find.

[KrayZeeMofo]

I figure that spending the extra $15 just incase I DO get an imperfect monitor is worth it.

Sweet thanks, I wasn't sure.

Hopefully. A 298$ 26" monitor would be sick. :lol:

[aasoror]

Very true I was shooting on that as well, but the site say that you can't use the coverage if you remove UPC (which is going to be done if you are getting the MIR) .. any suggestions ..?!

[Myv]

Yea, I still can't decide if I should grab this or not. If it does come with dead pixel you probably will not meet the MIR date doing the coverage.

If you're not sure, just be patient till boxing day ^_^

I bought this monitor from NCIX when they had this sale I think couple weeks ago or a month. They also had the $2 shipping then.

I paid about $343 with tax and all and was delivered fairly quickly. I also applied for that $30 mail in rebate. So technically the total cost is about $313

This monitor is really good imo...looks nice from outside and good image quality. I wanted a 1920x1200 res screen and 24" is a bit too small for that resolution...this size is perfect. I use the dell 27" monitor at my lab...which costs like $800+. I honestly don't see the point of spending that much...infact i like this asus one better. .

Ps. no dead pixels or any problem...and physically it looks looks good (unlike the cheaper/older acer ones)

[Myv]

Going to bite ><

and btw aasoror

"14) If the UPC bar code is removed from the orginal product box, we will only exchange the product itself, and NOT the box and other packaging. If there is a rebate offer on a product, please inspect the product carefully before submitting a rebate."

that's what I found, so I guess you can return the monitor in another box ?_? for replacement.

I'm guessing that NCIX offers a pick-up to return the damaged monitor? So I guess you can do that. Just make sure to include the authentic bill and you should be good.

did you get the express LCD exchange thingy?

[Wyler12]

did you get the express LCD exchange thingy?

I would imagine he did.

[wpgcabby]

I really hope I am happy with this monitor when I get it. I didn't buy any of the extra insurance on mine since I bought it on my Costco Amex card. Came out to $339 shipped before MIR. Wish I would have processed my order last night to save $ on the shipping, Tried using the coupon today and it wouldn't work :(

[wpgcabby]

Thanks OP! Got my monitor today, perfect condition no dead pixels and it looks amazing! Windows 7 saw it right away and extended my desktop onto it at 1080P! Wasnt sure if my Dell laptop would handel 2 external displays well but it doesn't seem to have a problem at all. Have one hooked up VGA and the other DVI :-) Can't get it to do 3 though, that would be sweet!

The price on this monitor is awesum and for 95% of the people out there this TN panel will be fine.

LOVE IT, THANKS :cheesygri

has anyone from BC able to pm with at NCIX without shipping?
