    And just to be clear, it is the LP171WU1-TLA2, right?

    I have seen so many part numbers online my head is spinning :)

    Yeah thats the part number but where it gets confusing is that this one says just LG on the back and the ones in the past said LG-philips . Thats where things can get confusing even more so :).

    Well, they do have a 7 day return policy.

    I don't have any way to test it if I bought it now. If the listing is still up in a couple of weeks then I guess I might try them out.

    The only other place I have found sells them for $205 :(

    The only part of the listing that worries me is the compatibility section (pic).
