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 ;-)
