How does this monitor compare to its earlier model? (I believe the E1649FWU) Has anyone had both of them and have an opinion about them?

A co-worker had the earlier model, but based on the description, I purchased this one. The differences are minor but significant enough for me - 1) Slightly better image, 2) More robust built-in stand, 3) Nomex carrying sleeve is included (older model did not). Both models are light in weight and auto-switch from landscape to portrait and back depending on orientation.

I have the new one. Co-Worker accidently purchased old one after he saw mine. Old one is thicker, but smaller width and height. The thickness would have been a problem for me to fit into my already bulging laptop case, but I didn't have problems with the height/Width. Coworker would not have been able to fit this new version into his laptop case. I personally think that the image quality, stand, the way that the cable exits the unit, and the speed of the monitor are better and worth the extra money if you can support the size.

The plug is much more secure on this one. I've had two of the earlier model fail due to the port on the monitor where the USB connects failing. On one, the port simply disconnected and was inside the unit, and the second, the unit was bumped and the plug became loose. This unit has a much more secure plug and it's located in a spot where it won't be accidentally bumped adjusting the stand. Since I'm on here replacing my older unit due to the screen getting damaged in my bag, I'm leaning towards the new one just for the sleeve.

I've used both. I think the newer model is worth the extra money. The screen resolution seems better to me, and the newer model is more adjustable. Also, the auto-rotating screen is a nice feature.

Dante,Thank you for the reply! Just FYI: I ended up with a Dell U3011 and a 5 year Dell warranty (direct from Dell). My Dell Workstation (Precision) has two monitors, so I might upgrade from the current 24" to the U2711, but not right away.

I am inclined to think something is wrong. Mine has a nice picture. I did no adjustments on my monitor. I kept the factory setting because the picture was great.

The one I originally bought from east coast LCD didn't work correctly on my HOUSE so I asked them for an exchange as I knew that my display cable inside was not damaged (plugging in the old shattered one still displayed partial desktop and colors). East Coast lcd didn't even provide replacement, just refunded my money and I had to cough up additional shipping for the return.I then bought one from a different seller and it worked perfectly. Hope this helps as I'm just sharing my experience with them as I fell for the lower price as well. I then ended up buying one for around $49 & shipping The one I originally bought from east coast LCD didn't work correctly on my HOUSE so I asked them for an exchange as I knew that my display cable inside was not damaged (plugging in the old shattered one still displayed partial desktop and colors).

Sounds about right. I can check more accurately later but it has a full 17.3 screen I wonder if you're looking at specs for the 15" version

William, I'll check on that tomorrow when I'm back at the office. If I forget, just post here again and I should be notified - otherwise shoot me an email. AEB35.75@gmail.com. Regardless, its a great unit - perfect for an additional monitor and very easy to toggle between the TV and external monitor functionalities. Only complaint is the sound is slightly subpar - I'll try to address your question tomorrow, like I said. Cheers!

I would like to know about this also. I have read in some reviews it has a different screen than the 650, less glossy?

Bird's Word: I've tested 2 of the 4 front runners (Acer & OSI) and the biggest differences I've noticed between the 3 (I know nothing about Lenovo's product) are Price, Monitor, Warranty, Touchpad & Upgradability (in order of personal import). Winner Acer - Best Display (Reflective TFT), Warranty (2 Year US / 1 Year International - I've NEVER seen this before! - Buy with Amex and get 1 additional year) and Touchpad Management Features Honorable 2nd ASUS - Best Price for Retail Value & Only Unit w/ Upgradable RAM Distant 3rd OSI - Best Screen Size (Non-Reflective TFT) I could say alot more but I think everyone needs to do their own reasearch and bargain hunting to ensure you find the best unit/deal for your personal need(s). Happy Hunting! J. Bird, CEO, BIG Ideas

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.

I know someone who bought it and had a 1920x1200 display. I don't remember him having any problems or buying another one.

Hi Thank you for your interest. The difference is pixel policy. Please check the pixel policy of each description. This monitor is Perfect Pixel(0 defective pixel) monitor. Thank you.

I bought mine from Amazon, and it is a beautiful 1080p ips screeen. There were models being sold by other vendors that did not have this screen. But the part #s or different so pay attention to that.

I went with the 4661F mainly because of the non-glare screen. I looked at them both, side-by-side in the store at Best Buy in full daylight and the 4665 was just too reflective and distractive, like looking into a mirror. So what if it has a better contrast ratio. It's really negligible unless you are a videophile geek with superhuman bionic vision who can really distinguish between contrast blacks. And for the money, the 4661F is the better deal. Easiest choice I have ever made buying a television and couldn't be happier.

I also own both and I like them equally. Whichever was the cheaper, I'd buy that one. Although I do like the more matte screen surface of the 226BW.PS: It is tricky (and extremely important) to get the contrast/brightness set juuuuust right.

I had the XE700T1C-A02US and had some major issues with the screen - including strange artifacting, a "light shadow" along the entire outer frame of the screen, and a dark spot in the middle of the screen. Definitely exchange it. Amazon took mine back and didn't hassle me about it at all. :)

I have had my two for over a year with no issues. Gaming, Video Editing and photography are my main uses and it hold up pretty well. AOC did a good job on this monitor.

I am going to wait. Had the TF201, but sent back because of the GPS issue. The two factors making me wait are the lack of Gorilla Glass and the brightness of the display (not the resolution). I plan on using it heavily outside, and both of these can make a significant difference when out of doors.
