Ghostly warranties

A few weeks ago I posted about the image per­sis­tence prob­lems that I was hav­ing with my Polyview V372 mon­i­tor. Well, Michael called me a few days ago and said that he had some friends who’d had sim­i­lar prob­lems with low-latency LCD pan­els (mine is 8ms), not of any par­tic­u­lar brand, and that they’d suc­cess­fully had them replaced.

Turns out Polyview’s Aus­tralian dis­trib­u­tor, Pro­tac, are replac­ing the panel for me. Even cooler is it’s an onsite war­ranty, so I don’t even need to leave the house. Good stuff! Any­way, they pick it up Tues­day (because I called yes­ter­day and it’s a long week­end here in Aus­tralia… or at least NSW, the ACT, and SA), and it’s meant to take up to 14 days for a replace­ment to come… which will hope­fully knock out the desire to pro­cras­ti­nate some­what, as CRT dis­plays burn ;-)
