Should come as no surprise I suppose. The cheapest TFT monitors you can get in Japan are these approx. 30,000 yen waste of chemicals and plastic made in the PRC.
Anyway, my story is particularly funny, because my girlfriend got one of these with her computer. It sometimes used to power on and get a white screen... after which you'd have to turn it off then on again to get the picture back. It always seemed to make a click everytime it changed screen resolutions as well. It didn't even have any love for Linux either. I attempted to get an Xwindows desktop going on it, and the program just gave up when the resolution went out of range entirely.
Anyway, it worked good enough for about one year until it intermittedly started flickering. Pissed off, my girlie sent it back to Green House, annoyed of course, because she couldn't use her machine for about 2 weeks. Recently she got a new one to replace it, and that worked for a whole 2 weeks before that one went on the blink. She initially thought she had the brightness on a low setting until we made the discovery that it was royally screwed.
So anyway, avoid Green House like the plague. I never get cheap computer components, because they just break really easily... but this lady found out the hard way.
Those in green houses shouldn't throw stones.
