Try dealing with them as a vendor and you'll know why. They don't care about the information or lack of information they provide for their products.

Their screens might be good but their packaged products leave a lot to be desired. We used to sell their tv's and almost as many came back as defective ad we sold. Even a 32" tv I bought crapped out after six months and they refused to honor their warranty (coax in was almost entirely static).

The Viewsonic tablet is pretty good. Lots of development for it. The screen sux though. Horrid viewing angles.

btw I've seen it as low as $239 in the states.

DanHibiki 08-24-2011 01:46 PM

It was just on Woot for $239!

I'm been trying to find a good review of it since all the updates, as even the viewing angle is supposed to be fixed in the latest models.

Really? The only way would be to replace the panel and I don't think they would bother this late in the game. I have heard that a screen protector helps somewhat.

sidenote Heather Magee looks really hot (someone who works there on here must know her) *edit* nevermind saw a bigger picture; she's cute though

SkinnyPupp 08-24-2011 06:02 PM

Got an email from direct dial saying they aren't sure if they'll be able to honor their orders.

FFS should have just ordered from HP.ca, that seems to be where most went. I didn't want to have to deal with PHONING them, 1994 style, to get my price adjusted, as most where saying you'd have to do.

:fuuuuu:
