G'day I was hoping you'd help me out
I did some research today into getting an LCD monitor that would serve me well not just for crispness of picture but also for gaming (refresh rate) and what not. Anyway, a monitor with the best combination of both I could find.
I finally settled on the Viewsonic VP930b (The Tom's Hardware review in fact was instrumental in having me so bent on it.) which seems to have enjoyed rave reviews all round. Anyway, for some reason I am having major dramas trying to find it in Australia. I have tried a huge range of Aussie online retailers to no avail. Everyone seems to stock the VP920b however it seems to be a less capable monitor.
A couple of the retailers USED to stock them but no longer. They couldn't give me a clear reason as to why which got me curious, after some further research I found a thread on this forum where people complained about having to send their VP930b's back in on several occasions because of problems with the cabling etc. Is this possibly the reason?
I also just went to the computer store in town and all their monitors were crap. I really would like to invest in a decent monitor in the next few days as this CRT has absolutely had it.
Questions:
1) Why would I be finding it so hard to find the VP930b in Australia? Is it old now? Were there problems with it? Is their better available?
2) Perhaps any recommendations that you know to be comparable with the VP930b?
It is really hard and time consuming doing reasearch online because nearly every site that comes up is just trying to sell stuff to you.
Any help from members here would be most appreciated
Cheers,
Daniel
