    ZipZoomFly

    I'm just beginning to piece my college PC together, and (at the moment) plan on getting a Samsung 710T flatscreen monitor. It gets good reviews and is supposed to be better than its ever-popular older brother, the 170 series. Anyway, I have been looking for a place to buy it. I was browsing froogle and came across zipzoomfly.com which has the monitor for $410 w/ free shipping. So does anyone know if thats a good etailer? what about their dead-pixel policy? Or will samsung take care of that?

    Yeah they had to lose there name due to the fact of using the name google and there were issues with using googles name in there storefront. I believe there was a court case on it at some time. Or maybe a personally settled thing I forget that happend some time ago.

    hoped that helped.

    I've only heard good things about ZipZoomFly!
    You could always email them and ask about their dead-pixel policy.

    speaking of fedex, they are insanely organized. I ordered 5 items a few days ago from newegg. 2 items came from NJ and 3 from TN. at every sorting facility, they were at the same place within 3 minutes of eachother. Obviously, they were shipped together the closer it was to being delivered, but they started off hundreds of miles apart, yet met up very early on in their journey.

    BTW, after looking through ZZF, I will probably be getting many other parts there as well. They seem to be a bit cheaper than newegg in many cases, and the free shipping doesnt hurt.

    Probably In Memphis...Memphis is the main hub of Fed Ex. Everything that is not local goes there 1st and then to the destination. DHL does the same thing except their main hub is Cincinatti.

    Samsung has its own zero dead pixel policy now.
    "
    Samsung Electronics announced Thursday that from Jan. 1, customers who discover defective pixels on an LCD monitor produced by the company less than six months after its purchase may have the panel replaced free of charge.

    An LCD monitor is made up of hundreds of thousands of tiny pixels. Manufacturers have classified products with 10 or less defective pixels as "normal" and refused to repair or exchange them, which led to complaints from customers. Samsung added, however, that the free exchanges do not apply to customers who purchased their LCD monitors before Jan. 1. " - http://english.chosun.com/w21data/ht...412300018.html

    Yeah, I heard about that. However, the source that I got it from claimed that this ploicy was only for samsung's Asian market.

    ***EDIT***

    I noticed that the motherboard I plan on getting has support for up to 10 USB 2.0 ports, but only 4 are on the back. The remaining 6 are for the front, but my case only has 2 on the front. Is there such a product that would allow me to use the remaining 4 via a pci slot?

    By the way, thanks for the link CPU and g-smooth2k.

    Over time your LCD display will create dead pixels, also a problem in CCD cameras. Every videocamera ever made in the last 15 years uses CCD's and not tubes. This is an issue with the technology, and at some point dead pixels will appear.

    LCD displays do not display colors accurately. If you do any type of computer graphics work, you need to consider this.

    Good luck!

    According to Samsung's Website, they have a 10 dead pixel minimum for 17" & 19" TFT LCDs. Hopefully ZZF will come though for me - god forbid I pay 1/2 again as much to get the damned thing from best buy...
