Been looking into the BenQ XL2420T and it looks like an extremely good monitor, but their dead pixel policy puts me off.
According to a CNET Australia review, the monitor has a 4 year on site warranty and a zero dead pixel policy over there, which is fantastic. So I contacted BenQ to see if it was the same here in the UK - turns out ours is a 2 year warranty and they "tolerate" up to 5 dead pixels.
They might tolerate it, but I won't. The monitor is £280 here (around $448) - if I'm paying that much for a monitor I expect it to have zero dead pixels and be replaced should it have any. Of course, it may well have zero dead pixels, but for that much money it's not a risk I'm prepared to take.
The two Samsung models suggested above have a zero dead pixel policy with Overclockers, so I'm looking into getting one of those. Does anyone know if the 3D works with Nvidia 3D Vision though if I buy the 3D vision kit? It's not listed on the 3D Vision site, whereas the BenQ monitor is.
