anyone ever purchased a monitor from Visual Displays?

I think they also go by budget tubes. I was searching for a new 25" monitor and their name came up. I think htey are based in the Los angeles area.

Killer price for a dual rez (less than $250). Operator I know wants 2 new 25" cga, so dual rez should work..
 
I ordered a 19" standard resolution 2-weeks ago from them. It arrived last week, but it will be a long time before I get around to installing it. I can't vouch for the quality of their product, but they did ship quickly. If it helps, I can take pictures of what I received.

I found them on LA cragislist. but I found out they also sell on ebay $240 is not bad, but its $102 to ship to terminal in SJ. $114 to ship to WA. They said it has to ship on pallet due to hazardous materials regs.

the shipping charge in Ebay ad is not right.. So think $100-$150. cheaper if you buy more than one (Like $+15 each)
 
I found them on LA Craigslist too... I'll be waiting to hear how the 25" monitors work out!

I got burned by this company for over $1000

I am in the process of trying to get a hold of Visual Displays. I purchased a pallet of their 25" monitors and all of them have chassis issues. The 90 day warranty would be great if someone would answer me back...... Two weeks now with no response.

What really sucks is that I sold a few of them to other collectors and now I am stuck in the middle of a gigantic mess that is affecting my bank account and my reputation.

If anyone else has any information about this company please let me know.

Thanks,

FWIW

back when Frank had budget tubes in indiana (circa 2002-2004) I purchased 3 of his 25" dual scan monitors. one chassis was bad out of the box and the other 2 were good.

after several months of him ignoring me he finally gave me an rma number, I sent back the bad chassis and once again got ignorred for several months. I finally contacted the BBB in his aria, about a month later or so i got a replacement chassis.

all and all they held up for a few years before i sold 2 of those machines and i still have one that is still working.

I know someone else that got about 12 19" monitor kits from him and returned them all because the first 4 or 5 he tried did not work, so he stopped trying and sent them all back.
