I have one here that we got 18 months ago with a three year Zero dead
pixel warantee. Runs sweet and am sure it will run another 18 months
no problem.

I saw them in Dick Smith on Friday and out of interest had a yak to a
"salesman", ooops, that might be "sales consultant", and he said they
come with a 12 month manufacturer's warrantee covering 5 or six dead
pixels as per industry standards and for an extra 50 or 60 bucks I
could get an extra 2 years drawing the warrantee out to 3 years. I
know perfectly well that deals can be done for zero dead pixels and a
common/usual/standard 3 year warrantee. The salesman said that that
was crap, no supplier does a zero pixel warrantee let alone a 3 year
standard warrantee on LCD monitors. His claim heard by and confirmed
by 3 other salesmen. Bullshitting *****.

That brand is sold in OZZ with a 3 year warranty. zero pixel defects, but it
has a slightly different model number, been like that for some 6 months or
more.

I have the OZZY mag with the Agents advert in it.

From memory its a CMV CT-713AB


No one in his right mind today should buy a LCD unless it has a 3 year
warrantee and a Zero pixel defects..

All the CMV's have a 3 year warranty. Maybe Dickies got a deal for
them to be cheaper with a 1 year warranty, or, more likely, they just
want you to think it has a 1 year warranty so they can sell you an
"extended warranty".

There are two different versions of each model, and the only
difference is that one has a 3 year zero bright pixel warranty whilst
the other 3 year warranty only covers 2 or 3 bright pixels.

CT-7xxAS : 3 Year Standard Warranty
CT-7xxAB : 3 Year Zero Bright Pixel Warranty

The B model is usually around $40 more than the S model.

You are right, Woger, in that the 722A is old stock, but it is still a
damn good monitor. However, shopping around (and I don't mean just the
"lowest price, crappiest service" places) will get you the newer
CT-712A, which has a slightly faster response time (14ms rather than
16ms), and will give you change from the Dickies price for the slower
unit:
http://tinyurl.com/6t2aq

However, if you're into gaming, you'd be far better off getting the
CT-720D. Whilst it's about $60-$70 more than the current 712A, it more
than makes up for it with the dual VGA/DVI interface, and, most
importantly, 8ms response time:

We have gone through well over 50 of the CMV monitors, and have yet to
find a single bright or dead pixel (and we've always bought the model
without the bright pixel warranty).

HTH

Oh and Bobs, score a skank for me...
