£138 inc vat...wow these things have come down in price...
how much for a nice 15" one then?

[BroadbandPlacey]

aria have 15" 25ms ones for £80 ish i believe but most are still well over £100

[Twigman]

is it any good? for £80 cant be that great, but then its an absolute bargain isnt it? I dunno...im sure our 15" cost over £200...

[Koolpc]

I suppose with £200 ones you are paying a big part for the name!

[Kirk]

They have had a lot of good comments posted on the Aria website from customers. And for half the price of a named brand I would rather take my chance as can always buy another with the money I saved in a few years time ! :hehe:

ARIA even provide a Dead Pixel Check (at a cost) but at least you know your TFT wil arrive without any annoying glitches on screen !

There is even a 3 year onsite warranty with them ! :shades: So worry no more !

hmm.. feindish plan time....

chuck out the 28" telly in our bedroom with the dodgy screen... replace it with the msi media pc and a 17" panel....

[Kirk]

Sounds like a great plan to me Slam ! :hehe:

means i'll have to buy the optional megapc tv tuner card though..... hmm...

[David]

I could never replace 28" with 17". I'd have to drag the bed halfway across the room so I could be close enough to read the subtitles.

[Twigman]

Get the media PC to bluetooth the subtitles to your phone :p or some equally geeky solution.

Is it insured ? Would be a right b@st@rd if it fell over.

lol! :hehe:

rofl.. pesky stairs... always getting in the way of inanimate objects :D

"er.. it fell.."
"your tv fell?"
"yea.. down the stairs"
"ohhhhh riiiggghhht" :D

I can vouch for the 17inch aria ones, very impressive had a pc build quite recently with one, I didnt want to hand it back, not a single dead pixel and absolutely top notch quality screen :) Speakers embedded were a bit crap.. but the screen is brill!

[M3ta7h3ad]

Oh.. and the reason the 15inch is so cheap is cause its 15inches.. and 24ms response time instead of the standard 16ms or now common 14ms or less common 12ms times you can get now.
