Can anyone tell me why this monitor is $50 less than the 1 ms 24"? The only difference I can find is the response time. Does that really add $50?

Yes. That extra edge costs money. Go look at the equipment reviews on tomshardware.com (cpus, video cards, etc...) they have monthly best buy guides, and performance per dollar charts. When you start hitting that bleeding edge performance, prices skyrocket. Frequently for improvements that are outside the realm of human perception. That being said, I am very happy with my 2ms response time, and have decided that all my future monitors, if they are anything like this one, will be BenQ

3rd party re-sellers are once again price gouging on the sales price for this monitor. This really is an awesome monitor, but is NOT worth paying 35% over the MSRP. Just have patience and wait for Amazon to get them back in stock. The second order will definitely have a higher number since Amazon is now aware this is a high demand product :-)

Thanks for the replies. Actually I haven't made my decision yet. I didn't know which to get and just decided to wait, but I am thinking I will go with the larger size. Would it be better to get the 6"x11" since I have a wide screen monitor? or does it really matter?

whats the best price on the Why 47LW6500 (240Hz) so far. I got mine for $1030. I am eligible for the low price guarantee!

Am not sure because I have never weighed it, but I will say its incredible and am going to buy another when I get the money together. This same monitor at Dell is about $2,000 so for $499.00 I feel I received a sweet deal....Love my monitor!

No clue. I bought the 46" version and it is 60Hz only. The 55" apparently is 120Hz, at least according to the specs. I doubt the refresh rate is selectable

Thanks for the info, Donald.I'm still amazed at how the price fluxuates on these sets. The 52XBR6 currently sells on the Dell site for $3000, whereas other places online have it for less than $2300. That's a huge difference. And you never know what the price is going to be at Amazon. It goes up or down $200 or less every day.I'm happy with the price I paid for the set. If it goes down $200 in the next few days I won't cry a river. I could have paid much more a couple months ago.

This is EXACTLY the issue with me as well. Ironically, I also do not watch TV that much, and currently have a 27 inch (Panasonic) CRT that I am looking to replace. I have pretty much decided to go with the 550 model. I looked at the two side-by-side in a store and could not notice the difference (a common cable feed -- probably 720p or 1080i -- was going to both). I don't know if the 120 Hz was on for the 650, but reading many comments here and other sites, it seems like this isn't worth it unless you watch alot of sports (alot of people seem to keep it off). As for the better contrast ratio for the 650 (50000:1 compared to 30000:1), I don't believe I could tell the difference. Aside from video, the extras for the 650 don't really seem worth it. You get the so-called Infolink which gives you capability of RSS feeds (presumably a limited number, possibly more in the future). But I am a news junky and like to look at all the various newspapers on the internet -- I'll stick with my computer. If I want, I'll just hook my computer up to the TV to look on the big screen. Extra HDMI port -- big deal, can always buy a switch box for cheaper than the difference. Other extras, if they exist, usually can be gotten around by buying external devices, if you want or need them. Bottom line, if you're like me, go for the cheaper 550. addendum to my previous post: Got the 550 and it's beautiful. Will not fret over whether I should have gotten the 650 (gotta get on with life). I avoided paying an extra ~$300 by doing this.

I've had my 52" 650 since memorial dday weekend...and coming from the video industry, it's the best screen around. For thos of you comparing the 650 vs 750 vs 850; check the technical details even at a store. I walked into the CC & BB locally and yes they were all set up side by side; but since the local store wanted to sell more 850s, it was "tuned" better. The default settings have changed including the brightness level; so when you are comparing TV screens; make sure that the identical output; down to the connection is being used and that both units are identically tuned, i.e. brightness, contrast, presets...99% of the time you will find them not to be. The best tuned TV this week will not be the one next week!

1st of al, and once in for all, I purchased a "VP2365-LED", a 23" IPS..NOT the 27"..It does not have or need an HDMI connection for photo editing..Top rated bang-for-the-buck by Photoshop Guru Tim Grey..Accurate color right out of the box..It swivels and tilts.No dead pixels. Has 3 or four USB2 connecting points. Viewing angle 178 degrees north and south..It's a steal at around $250..3 year warranty..It replace an aging NEC24" which was NOT an IPS, and depending uponmy viewing angle, I wouldget inconsistent output..I get an excellent screen to print match at least 90% of the time..I'd buy it again!Eddie 1st of al, and once in for all, I purchased a "VP2365-LED", a 23" IPS..NOT the 27"..It does not have or need an HDMI connection for photo editing..Top rated bang-for-the-buck by Photoshop Guru Tim Grey..Accurate color right out of the box..It swivels and tilts.No dead pixels.

I saw this TV at Sears on clearnace. The tag had $3200 and on clearance for $2800. I got mine at Best Buy on clearance for $1487.50 That's a big difference and it has in fact increased in price which does not make any sense to me since you can get a 55" LED for close to that price. I agree that below 2K seems more reasonable for this.

$999 is the actual MSRP of the 34UM95. The $1500 price you've seen is from people importing the Korean version of this monitor and price gouging.

I'd like to ask you a question about the 24p content. I produce videos in 24p, and although I'm very creative, I'm not a tech guru. Thus, I've been trying to witness the difference between TV's out there that claim to have good 24p playback capabilities, as we produce several things at that frame rate. Have you seen them side by side? Does the lower Hz level really make a big difference? I've seen the 8000 in action, but never checked the Hz level and didn't compare it to the 7000. Thanks in advance for your help.

Just FYI, I called the actual maker of the old Philips 2 parent baby monitor, and they still had a few left that they were willing to sell for 199.00 to customers. So if you really have your heart set then you could probably call and get one easily. I wasn't willing to pay that much for two monitors. I will just have to make one work for now.

I have the dual model. I am using it with an HDMI 2701MW (and a HANNS G 25") and it is the weight of the monitor that is the issue, not the size from what I have experienced. My monitor is probably at the weight limit since the monitor will sag on the supporting spring assembly if too heavy - the weight of each may be available on Amazon. I like the unit.

Replace the DisplayPort cable, it sucks.Buy another, much thicker one,one that's rated for 2160 x 3840 pixels, 60 Hz, IPS, DisplayPort 1.2 . Seriously.With a bad/poor cable, like the one that comeswith the $700 Dell UltraSharp UP2414Q,you might be forced into 29 Hz, low-res mode...and/or the cable will just plain break, causing garbage to appear on the screen.It's worse if you swing it portrait, and/or move it around a lot.The original cable had bent pins and the like... really bad.Why did Dell give me such a -crappy- cable ? ?Dell's cable is half the thickness of the $9 one I boughtto replace it ( same day shipping, from/to Seattle, Amazon ).

Hi Jon, I can only address the unit which I have purchased which is revision A06. I have been satisfied with the performance of this monitor. I use it as a secondary monitor for a CAD setup with a very fast and powerful Dell Precision Workstation laptop unit. I think you will be best served by the latest revision which may be even higher than A06. I purchased the unit just under a year ago through Amazon. It is always wise to see the model up close to be able to touch it and get a feel for the display quality, but typically the big box stores will never be able to beat the price of a web distributor such as Amazon. Good luck with your purchase.
