I-Inc iF-281DPB 28" LCD Monitor HDMI $399 @ TD

[devil2k]

Was looking for a good deal on 24" and came across this.
The formula is:
TD + Unknown Brand = Take your chances
Reviews are okay, not great. I would've got one but it's too big for me.

WOW!!!! This was on sale for $500 last month and I though it was cheap then! If I didn't have a 37" I'd be jumping on this right now
Cheap Cheap!

That's what she said.

Complains about uneven back lighting (uber halo effect) and dead/stuck pixels. You'll probably have to return it at least once to find one with perfect pixels.

Also, no DVI input??

it has HDMI, so i guess they assume you can convert the connector to effectively end up with DVI.

One or two dead or stuck pixels aren't a big deal on a monitor this big.

It has HDMI, which can carry the same signal as DVI. I'm pretty sure it has built in speakers so the HDMI is probably capable of carrying audio.

Well while I can not discriminate against people that do not mind one or 2 dead pixels to me even 1 dead pixel on any lcd would be too much :P
they stick out like a sore thumb - i borrowed my friend`s laptop that he has been using for 2 years and found him 16 dead pixels that he was not even able to notice...
( earned him a replacement lcd screen from toshiba as a result)
it was a 15 or 17 inch screen with a 1600x1200 - can`t remember but the point is the pixels were the size of a pin prick and still i spotted them

Maybe it is just me but even 1 pixel is not acceptable regardless of screen size

and this 28 inch monitor has .3dpi so one dead pixel would look like a fly sitting on the screen ( and stuck pixel like a firefly lol )

IT IS SOLELY MY OWN OPINION - some people can live with dp some can`t.

That`s life.

Another "That's what she said" for this.

I-Inc is a HannsG subsidiary according to one of the reviews as well, so take that for what it's worth. But at least there's no mail-in-rebate, right?

Panel might be weak a little but hmm still tempting for a 28" LCD. Hanns-G makes a nice 27 or 28" model. Are you guys sure it's not the same panel? http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...143&CatId=3774

Is it a TN panel? What about gaming, any ghosting?

lol

[kelvin]

um...16.7 million, 3ms...what panel is it?

[P@V04]

Very tempting I would love to have a 28" monitor, but I think I would just end up playing more games then I allready do.

Posted to the front page. Thanks!

Also, the I-Inc product page here: http://www.i-inc-usa.com/Product/if281.htm lists 160/160 degree viewing angles, indicating a TN panel. Then again, it's 28" for $399, so it would be completely insane if it was an MVA or IPS panel.

Price-wise it's good, quality-wise it received ok reviews...but certainly not the same amount of Dell & Samsung owners. Feedback can be skewed.

TigerDirect can be difficult to deal with so if you want this LCD make sure you consider service & warranty. Don't buy it just because it's $399+TAX.

[Koslov]

It's a TN panel by the way. If it was a local deal I'd buy it , but shipping and taxes kills it. + TD customer service is just horrible.
