    Just an fyi as I get our ads a day early.

    I picked it up at Frys with a price match today :)

    I prefer frys since they have a 15 day nop questions asked, no restock fee return policy.

    Seems like a heck of a deal :D

    Well, the ad claims $150 cheaper...marketing :)

    Man I was nervous at 1st...when I turned it on for the 1st time it had what appeared to be several white pixels clusrered near the upper middle on the black background.

    However, once the Vaoio logo came up they were gone and have not been back since.

    I even tested with Dead Pixel Buddy..


    Think I have anything to worrow about ?

    probably not. Is that model with the ATI card or the integrated card?

    Too bad it's lacking the HiColor screen. That's a deal-breaker for some of us (like me).
