Is monitor shipping really as bad as it's cracked up to be?? Whether you buy at a store or from mail order or online, don't monitors have to ship anyways? How else do they get to the stores. Is there something worse in shipping personal units versus large scale reseller shipping? Even at the retail outlet, one rarely if ever gets to see their specific monitor!
From all the comments i've read, even from thg, it seems buying online or mail order is a big no no. The only advantage of buying in store is saving on shipping back of defective units and somewhat more lenient return policy (if defective, as 15-20% restocking is popping up everywhere these days for "unsatisfied" returns, however). I think we need to dispel the shipping myth or at least revaluate it.
Also, how sensitive are monitors on "back to home" trips?? If it is very sensitive, then basically we are all screwed in trying to get the perfect in spec monitor.
Please post insights if I'm missing something.
Quality is better than name brand, even regarding beloved AMD.
