atic is fine to deal with I used to get all my pc stuff there years ago but have since moved to ncix & anitec pretty much for everything now. they just have better prices, not sure if they have what you are looking for I assume not.

try anitec.ca as well they are a great shop. Atic is or used to be a busy painful shop to go into. I never had any issues with hardware from them , just ask them what type of return policy they have on lcd for dead pixels

now get out there and SPEND
How can I be broke when I am saving so much?

ATIC is OK, I did have a bad experience there about four years ago. Bought a Samsung 710T which wasn't cheap by any means at the time ($700+). Got it home and it had a manufacturing defect, the panel was loose in the frame. I called ATIC and told the situation and the grumpy old prick that usually answers the phone there started laughing at me (he actually was laughing) and told me to call the manufacturer. That kind of caught me off guard so I did call Samsung and they where great about replacing it via courier the next day.

Several months ago I got a new monitor (Viewsonic VP2030b) from ATIC (I like the abuse I guess :lol: ) This time everything went smoothly and I seen the grumpy old prick sitting in the chair he always is sitting in dealing with a customer.

ATIC has great prices on monitors and money talks.

Best of luck with your decision.

Worst customer service ever, in my experience (actually in store/face-to-face, nevermind shipping stuff). Read any negative review below, and that could be my story; same crap, different customer. If you find they have the best price on something you want, order it from NCIX and they'll probably PM Atic. I haven't been there since I was a computer noob, and I'm never going back. Just stay away from Atic.

1 review, gives them a poor rating

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/ATIC
Their rating avg is 5.36/10, but I don't kow how it got that high. I'm sure I've seen it a lot worse than that in the past.

10/12 give them a negative rating. Even one of the postives has a negative comment!

I used to buy from ATIC in-store and online up until about 2 years ago. In-store wasn't too bad if you knew exactly what you wanted. Online I was always overcharged on shipping, and they would usually substitute a couple items from each order with another part > :( .

Nowadays I buy online from NCIX, and any prices that are higher are usually pricematched with no problems. Their shipping rates are much more reasonable as well. I notice that the monitor you are looking at isn't available from them though.

I used to deal with this company as well, and I found them to be better than ATIC.

In response to the comment about the dell monitor, I currently have this monitor and I am quite pleased with it. I haven't been able to replicate the issues that many people report with it, and I was under the impression that this issue would have fixed by now for new monitors.

I also remember seeing ATIC with a 2.63 on resellerratings.

thanks for replies.in regards the dell monitor issue,dell did not put a new revision,more than likely that they will soon be releasing the 2408wfp.
apower has the lg,but it is special order.
i found a place in ontario,that has the lg 246wp monitor in stock online for $574 + shipping etc
