I have this same monitor and the picture is crystal clear. Highly recommend.

Got ine llike this on a previous woot. Fantastic display. best woot I've made so far. In for another one!

Is that Christopher Daniels on the monitor there doing a flying body press?

I cannot say I have ever heard of Famous Maker and I cannot find their website either.

wait what no DVI who would want this pile

HP "De-Branded"

What, no DVI??

Well, we knew this was coming soon after the 21" "famous maker"...

Where exactly is the headquarters for this "Famous Maker" tv company? Is it a real place? I'm just wondering cuz I've never ever heard of it before, but woot sure does love it.

How many HDMI hook-ups on this unit?

That looked like the HP font on those there buttons.

"Operating environment:

Temperature: 41 degrees F to 95 degrees F (5 degrees C to 35 degrees C )"

If you're computing at 41 degrees, I hope you're one of the 9501 who w00ted the Vornado foot heater.

noob question but can i watch tv on this? or is it just a monitor?

Ah, seeing this reminds me to take medicine for my HbP.

(That was the only joke I could come up with.)

Froogleee

Thinking that Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966) couldn't possibly be as bad as Woot! claimed it was, I decided to watch the movie last night. All I can say is that the Woot! filter is most definitely justified in its substitution.

Why yes, that is "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels doing the flying body press.

Also, that picture looks like old-school Ring of Honor.

Read the Woot "Spec":

Input terminal:

1 HDMI connector (version 1.3)
1 VGA connector

nah, if this was 16:10 I would get one.

Sure is!! I dunno who the other fella is though.

just use a DVI to HDMI cable

For those of you freaking out over the lack of DVI... you can stop now. It's a simple adapter. In fact, here's a nice DVI to HDMI cable for cheap

Here's the manufacturer's page of the branded version.

1000:1 contrast ratio?!? I was gonna buy it til I saw that.

Uh...vga can't do 1080p, so only one of those inputs is fully functional.

Watch the MST3k

It is an HP, it is a "debranded" model, meaning it is made for secondary markets.

The same unit, referbed, is about $175 on most websites. Looks like a good price.

My only problem is that the last time I purchased something "referbed" from Woot, it arrived DOA and Woot basically told me to go scratch. So, no more "referbs" from Woot....

i certainly would have no problem locating a dvi to hdmi cable here in this mess o' cables. kind of want. convince me fellow black box wooters.

HDMI is the same as DVI except it carries the audio signal also.

All you need for DVI is a convertor cable.

Get one of these

Why the F*** would they build a monitor, but NOT include DVI? It has HDMI but.. ugh blows my mind.

90% of graphic card users don't have hdmi on it -_-

Aren't the dongles to DVI adapter quality not as reliable? Does anyone know?

Was it the MST3k version or the original? Because if it was the original... wow, I'm surprised you survived.

Found an eerily similar one from HP for $229.00 (new plus shipping) on Amazon.

4.5 star rating.
