Go Ahead, Make My Day!
Here is my latest on responses from IT service personnel!
As soon as the LG service personnel arrived today I asked the question most important to me.
SJ: Is this panel the same that my monitor has? Packing box says nothing about the model number or specs.
LG Engineer: This is the latest model, the best there is.
SJ: I am not interested to know whether this is the latest or not. My main concern is the kind of panel technology it uses.
LG Engineer: This is an LCD. (Wow!)
SJ: I know that. What kind of an LCD is this?
LG Engineer: This one uses TFT, that means Thin Film Transistor. That's the latest technology!
(By now I was beginning to lose patience. thunder.02dragon had already warned me about this kind of replies from vendors, but coming from an MNC service engineer, that was something. However, I kept my cool.)
SJ: Is it a TN, PVA or MVA panel?
It is only at this point that the Engineer admitted that he had no clue on what I was talking about!
LG Engineer: What is TN?
SJ: It stands for Twisted Nematic. It is an old LCD panel technology.
LG Engineer: Sorry, I don't know anything about that.
The old conversation that I mentioned earlier was in course of my visit to one of the IT exhibitions back mid 1990's. Therefore, it is kinda dated.
At that time Creative 2X CD-ROM drives were a rage, at least in Kolkata, although 4X drives were already in the market elsewhere. I was bent on getting one of those new 4X drives. I visited the stall of Systematix, supposedly the Eastern Zone's sole distributors for Creative, Inc. Here's the gist of the conversation that I had:
SJ: I am looking for a Creative quad speed CD-ROM drive.
Systematix Representative: Hey ... (calling his fellow rep) ...! This gentleman is looking for a quarter speed (sic) CD-ROM drive. Do we have Creative quarter speed CD-ROM drives?
SJ: I said quad speed, meaning quadruple speed, not quarter speed!
Systematix Representative: Then you should talk to our "Technical Expert".
The said "Technical Expert" was answering somebody else's queries. I waited till he was free. Then I repeated my query to him.
Technical Expert: We do not have that in stock now, but if you make an advance we can get it for you.
SJ: Alright, I can do that, but can you please tell me what is the access time of this drive that you are offering me?
Technical Expert: Um ... ... Uh ... ... I think it is about 200 milliseconds.
SJ: (Shocked) How can a 4X Drive have an access time of 200 milliseconds when the access time of a 2X drive is less than 100 ms?! It should actually go down with increasing speed!
Technical Expert: Oh, yes! You are right! The millisecond goes down with increasing speed, it is the nanosecond that goes up!
After that I thought I had enough and just left!

I quoted your post over there Mr. sjoardar. I hope you don't mind and I hope you do join us over there. Also, since you are somewhat a regular member by now, why don't you have an avatar pic and a signature? Your rig in your signature would make many drool.

@ sjoardar - Glad to hear that you at last got a working LCD
BTW, is it new and what panel technology it uses ? From your post it's not clear. Can you please mention the model number ?
I remember the day when a sales guy ajay from vedant computers were trying to sell a MSI PT8 Neo-SR mobo which uses VIA PT800 chipset ( if I remember correctly ) as a intel 865 chipset based mobo..... what a dumbass....
actually I was looking for a 865 chipset based mobo with a agp 8x slot...then I told them and they said they can arrange one for me..after the mobo arrived they were arguing with me that it based on 865 but when I showed them the manual they are very annoyed ( not embarrassed ) ... coz they were not able to make fool a another customer
Now I write down all model number that I prefer and only buy products which matches the exact model number

That shop's a piece of Junk, and MD is actually the second Coolermaster Importer here, and they also keep stuffs from Razer and Glacialtech, they are giving the best service now.

Thanks!
Yes, it is a NEW panel alright. I allowed them to install the replacement panel only after I verified that it has the same Part Number as the one that came with the monitor. I am sorry that I did not note down that part number, which I should have. Since the label is on the back of the panel assembly itself, it is now inside the monitor shell and I cannot see it now unless I try to open it. There was no model number though. Since I know that the original monitor used MVA panel technology, the new one must be using the same.

CM Hyper 212+ @ 2.2k
CM Tx3 - 1.2k
Now Tx3 is for mild overclock.
CM Hyper 212+ is a better VFM cooler if u can afford it
Hyper 212+ provides very good results too.

That 3x2Gb kit is meant for core i7's ( triple channel ). Amd cpu's should be happy enough with 2X 2GB 1600MHz DDR3 module though
Corsair 2x 2GB ( 1333 MHz - which OC's really good ) Kit is available at only around 6K - you should get this one
Single 2GB transcend DDR3 1333MH z Stick will cost you around Rs. 2.5K
