From Tiger Direct, great seller.

Im buying it tonight! since its so highly recommend by everyone at this forum

I second that! - Ordered, shipped, and at my doorstep within a week.

Just waiting on the LL lenses & ballast now. (crosses fingers)

yup i ordered that too they wont be getting the shipment until the 30th so i suspect it to be here by the 3rd or so

Are there any FFC issues with this panel?

No

The BenQ FP531 which is also compatible is on sale for $179 after a $20 rebate.

Even if you don't send out for your rebate you're still getting it for $199, not bad at all.

Here is one that seems like a good deal, but who knows on the ffc issues.

Thats pretty cool, but is it US$?
At ncix you can get it for $227.45CAD after 100$ rebate avaliable in canada only I think.

Can anyone tell me if it is the version 2 of the screen and not older one...
For both:

557s: http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=122...anufacture=BENQ

567s: http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=113...anufacture=BENQ


I wanted to know if thats a version 2 model, so I called ncix but salesman told me he doesnt have a monitor there, so he wouldn't be able to tell.

Thanks,

SODA, I bought the FP557S yesterday. I'm not sure if it's a version 2 screen or not, should be here by the end of the week or early next week. Here's a link with the promo code in it. $188.98 CND after sending in the rebate.

Hey, thanks.
I will probably buy it from the local store, they have 557s for 199 and 567 for 204 canadian dollars... With rebate of course. I'll go with 567 thou... I found a cheaper ballast. It is 400w silvania from nedco for 65 canadian instead of 120 from the other store...

Hey rogfa,
I don't know if I will buy lcd before you receive yours... But when you receive it can you make a post here regarding which version you got? And also if you got any dead pixels... Did you get pixel insurance?
I only hesitate of buying locally because none of them provide pixel insurance... At least you can return it or replace at ncix if you got bad pixels

Thanks, I will wait.
