Was that the lite version? How's the top bezel? Does it dip down a bit?
post #722 of 3171
Yeah , it is the 'Lite' version ... here's the actual ebay ad ..

Remember the resolution, it might not be visible easily. Run a line @ 1, 2, 3, etc pixels across the top of screen and see if any pixels missing.

AFTER you play, of course.

Well , I've tried taking some more snaps ... if there is a dip in the bezel , it's virtually impossible to see it! This is with the High Contrast White theme by the way.

I don't have a camera so this is about as good as I can do .. hope it helps anyway!

Thanks a lot. Not that it really mattered at this point for me as I'm picking up mine at Fedex office in about 1 hour, but some here claimed that possible defect as reason not to buy.
post #726 of 3171
Huh, that's interesting.

Did you say what the manufacture date was? Perhaps they received complaints about it, and have silently corrected it. It'd be handy if those who are getting theirs soon report back too.

(Basically, if it's not there anymore, I have no excuse NOT to get the Shimian, considering it's about £50 cheaper than a PP crossover)
post #727 of 3171
It's marked '2012.05' on the label on the back (and on the box!) .. really chuffed with it!

Fedex has pissed me off. Went to pick up and was told over US$100 charges (duty & VAT). ALL computer related stuff are duty and VAT free where I live (Trinidad & Tobago). The country manager said " you can pay the charges now and get it or wait 3 days for us to fix the issue". 3 days from Korea to here and now 3 more days to fix their incompetence.

Anyone know how to file a formal complaint to the Head office?

I just purchased my Shimian-lite for $340!!! yessir.gif

(3-yr SquareTrade warranty included, which I called them, and they confirmed that they would honor the warranty)

My question is... because this is coming from overseas... do I need to worry about paying any extra fees once it gets here? (basically what I'm asking is.. Do I need to declare the item as a gift or something, so I don't have to pay any extra fees?) [Shipping to USA]

USA and South Korea supposedly have some kind of free trade agreement so there shouldn't be any duty. Not sure about taxes, but probably no taxes either.
