ASUS LCD's = Junk
I Recently Purchased an ASUS VW222U 22" Widescreed LCD, First thing i noticed was how small it was, I mean i jsut wasted $335 on this thing my 22" CRT's are better, i think the LCD is going to become a TV for my media center instead now. It was absolute Krapp! Heres the good part it shipped to me with 4 green 'stuck'(bright dots) pixels in a cluster, looked like a green spotlight shining into your face white trying to play Games!!!!
Okay no big deal i RMA it back to Umart who replaced it kindy and were stunned at how bright the 'stuck' pixels were. So i take my brand new replacement LCD home with me pluged in my cables for the second time that week, and wow would you look at that theres a white 'stuck' pixel at the top of the screen, not that visible on windows desktop but in games i dont know about you but it anoyed me!! shutdown the pc and then the next day turned it ona again only to notice on a completly black screen i could see yet another 'stuck' pixel AHH!!! again this one being white.
I then extensivley read throuhg everything on the ASUS site i could find only to be disapointed to find that i need three 'stuck' (bright dots) pixels to warrent a return again.
So now im stuck with an $335 waste of money coz after first noticing the 'stuck' pixels you then notice them all the time!! im seriously considering going back to my 22" CRT as at lest i dont have white dots on my screen and i can run a higher resolution.
My Advice to you all DO NOT BUY AN ASUS LCD!!!
The produce a great image and nice contrast, looks great for movies (if you can stop staring at the bright dots!) and alright for games. would recomend a Samsung over these things anyday.
saving for a Dell 30" hopefully it might be able to replace my two 22" CRT's
i have a 22" chimei screen.
i have a 22" chimei screen. :)
great, never missed a beat.
thinking i should have spend
thinking i should have spend the extra cash and got the LG
i have the 22" chimei too.
i have the 22" chimei too. it's been perfect. no dead pixels either :)
i have 3 viewsonic 22 inches
i have 3 viewsonic 22 inches and 3 viewsonic 19 inches lcd and they are all absolutely fine
My advice would be to check
My advice would be to check the dead pixel warranty on any monitor prior to purchasing it. Even 'good' brands can occassionally have a dead pixel. If you can't return it because of one dead pixel, don't buy the monitor!

Hey Ninja Kid Just wondering
Hey Ninja Kid
Just wondering if you would still be willing to part with one of your 22/21" CRT's as you mentioned in the other topic, cause I should be coming to the Lan sometime tomorrow.
Also, I have an Asus VW192T LCD and so far so good (now just a week or 2 under 1 year old). Its only a 19" widescreen though, and low res (compared to notebook screens) hence why I would like a 22" CRT, but no dead pixels, nice colour, no issues in games so far either.
yeah im willing to give you
yeah im willing to give you one althouhg i no longer am able to make it ton the LAN i leave for melbourne for the weekend later this afternoon.
email me at leroy-riding@hotmail.com and we can organise a time after that for me to drop it of to you or you to pick it up from my apartment.
To all who may come upon
To all who may come upon this post at a later time: "Stuck" is not the same as "Dead." Stuck pixels can be fixed, usually very easily. Do a google search for "fix stuck pixel."
A dead pixel (as opposed to stuck) will be black, as in there is no light coming from that pixel. A stuck pixel will usually be pure Red, Green, or Blue. These can be fixed. Google search.

Im pretty sure that what you
Im pretty sure that what you said was alread pretty freaking obvious lol. and I know stuck pixels can SOME!! times be fixed not all the time and in more cases than not they are not fixed easily. pixel filters are the most effective and well der what do you think was the frist thing i tryed!
but ater leaving it on over night (no the monitor did not go to sleep it stayed on teh whole time) i still have 4 freaking bright green pixels. and for usualy verry easily i dissagree ive had many friends with stuck pixel monitors and I work as an I.T. Tech for QUT and see many around the 4 camuses aswell. they arent always easy, you can have a win were you fixe 10 monitors with stuck pixels in a row YAY!! but nto really coz then you can go with 20 that jstu wont go.
also for more information stuck pixels are msot comonly white. and also white generaly the hardest to get going again.
blue the second most common.
also dead pixels can be fixed but in verry rare cases, as when dead it well is dead, but in some cases jstu like fixing a stuck pixel by heating the diod behind the pixel they some tmes begin to work.
or the simple option is jstu buy a monitor with a decent stuck and dead pixel warranty and send it back if it has one simple.
