It had to happen, with so many monitors and dead pixel policies coming down the pipe from Phillips, sooner or later a retailer was to be mistaken. I'm not telling wich one it is, so they don't blame me for running out of stock on a product they shouldn't be selling like they do.

This is not a series "B" TFT (but a 50$ cheaper one from the "S" line), so it doesn't qualify as ISO 13406-2 Class I compliant "dot-defect-free" display. If you don't find this "special deal" on the web, but feel curious about it's features, here they are.

There's nothing impressive on the list, but advertised response time (typical) is good:  5 ms. 16.2 million colours is always interesting on an LCD. Refresh rate isn't bad either: 1280 x 1024 @ 75 Hz (digital input). And one more thing, effective viewing area is 376.3 x 301.1 mm. This is overlooked on a regular basis, and it shouldn't because it roughly tells you if the aspect ratio corresponds to the maximum resolution. In this case it does, 5:4 is the appropiate for a 1280 x 1024 resolution panel (not 4:3 like most monitors).
