Rebate Scam - Buyer Beware.......2005-06-03

Purchased this back in January 2005 because of the 100 rebate offered at the time. Submitted the rebate straight away and per the website, it had been approved and sent by mid-March. It's now June and no rebate.

Other than this scam, the monitor is good. Just don't expect to get the rebate.

Excellent product, excellent price... period.......2005-03-04

The color and brightness are outstanding. It works well for DVD's, Cable and general computer use. I use this monitor about quite a lot, since I am a software developer I work/play and go to grad school all on this monitor. It is great for gaming and DVDs. I also use this monitor to watch cable with a tuner card (ATI AIW 9800 pro), it functions as a TV.

It is interesting how misleading and ill informed some of the other reviewers are, how can you blame the product for your ignorance?

As far as LCD monitors go you cannot beat this product for the quality and price. I paid $349 at CostCo the screen much brighter and has little to no glare off the screen. FYI this monitor is intended to be used with the DVI port. It works better with DVI than with VGA (like any monitor with a DVI port)....

Great Monitor after much research.......2005-02-10

I bought this monitor from Amazon. I used the free super saver shipping for free. Delivery was estimated for about 11 days after purchase, but I received it TWO days after purchase, WOW. Kudos Amazon. Anyway, using a standard VGA connection the picture is great at native 1280x1024 rez, BUT MAKE SURE TO SET COLOR TO 16 bit in your display settings in windoze. I had mine set at 32bits and apparently the analog interpreter tries to compensate by blurring the text slightly. I havent tried 32bit color with DVI. I think that was what CNET experienced when they gave the monitor a bad review.
I have one pixel that stays very light magenta, it is invisible unless you get close. The stand is large enough to make the lcd stable. All in all, the monitor is great. Amazon was great. I saved a load of money over buying retail, and I got a great monitor for what the other online vendors sell absolute crap for, ie sceptre,dcl.
As good as any retail demo I saw, like sony,samsung,etc.

Good digital/Poor analog performance- watch out for rebate scam.......2005-02-02

Monitor is good, in fact Monitor is better than the 2 stars I gave it when used with DVI digital out. I especially like the dual analog and digital inputs. Analog input was a little fuzzy and I wondered whther it was a mistake to have purchased the LCD. Fortunately I had a Radeon 9600 card with digital out to install. Plugged in the card and fired up the computer with the digital DVI cable connected. The difference was like night and day. Fuzzy unclear image became a crisp, sharp and the colors stand out. Great digital out performance.
Sound control is poor. The monitor's sound volume is very loud at the lowest settings.

Now regarding the rebate, be careful and read everything. The Princeton scam is with the expiration date versus the "must be submitted in 14 days". They are in conflict so don't get caught by reading the "due by end of month" scam. The monitor took a few days to arrive coupled with the Christmas holiday season. By the time I filled out the form 15 days had passed since I had purchased product and Princeton denied the $100 rebate. I won't be purchasing from them again, even if it not my money.

Bottomline, if you don't have digital out (DVI) from your video card forget this monitor. If you do and don't mind little control for the sound volume, go for it as long as there is no rebate. If you really want the rebate, forget about it. Watchout cause Princeton is counting on you missing 2 week deadline. Poor strategy for a struggling manufacturer to $#@#w its customers rather than provide good product, price, and service.

BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.......2005-01-06

I bought the Costco version and didn't need the speakers but the unit buzzes!

So I returned it and picked up another one. And it buzzes!

I called Princeton and they told me "it's a problem" and they are working on it. Guess I'll be returning this one too.
