Willen trading.co.uk - anyone bought from them?
I'm in the market for a 19" LCD 4:3 computer monitor - and there are not
many around, 'cos they're nearly all wide screen. I've found some on Willen's site, but had hitherto not heard of the company. They apparently sell "factory graded or nearly new" items such as TVs and monitors - which seems to be roughly equivalent to Maplin's B-grade stuff - customer returns, packaging slightly damaged, etc. Have any of you bought anything from them, and was it ok? -- Cheers, Roger _______ Please reply to Newsgroup.

I have bought a lot of items from them on eBay. I live about 20 miles away from Willen (part of Milton Keynes) so I have usually collected them. Their warehouse is very close to the M1, Junction 14 (A509). I have found them professional at all times. They are box shifters, by which I mean they sell electronic goods in very large volumes at very low prices. I have bought a professional digital SLR camera, two DVD recorders, several LCD picture frames, a bread maker and various other smaller items totalling well over £1000. No problems with any of them. My sole complaint is that they make a charge for collection from their warehouse. The collection charge is much lower than their postage charge, but I really don't see why collection should not be free. But in the scheme of things, it isn't a vast sum of money (£2.50 IIRC) and all the items I have bought have been extremely competitively priced, even when that collection charge (grrr!) is included. Their eBay rating is +127,292 and 98.7% positive, which is about what I would expect of this type of company. It would be worth looking through the comments associated with the negatives and neutrals to see what people have complained about. http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/willen_trading/ I would certainly recommend Willen Trading (subject to your taking the usual care to ensure that you know exactly what you are buying, warranty terms etc.) and I would not hesitate to deal with them again. |

And don't they all have the ability to display in 4:3 ratio? No, but even if they did, you'd end up with a big monitor displaying black strips. (Your PC video driver may be able to do this if you really want to.) I recently went through the monitor replacement process, having had a 20" LCD 4:3 1600x1200 for 7 years (an excellent HP one), but which was suffering from some screen burn and backlight starting to go uneven. I decided I wanted a slightly bigger one, at least same resolution, and 4:3. I couldn't find anything which was still made. Displays are mainly made for TV, so it's very hard to find ones which aren't widescreen. For the same reason, the choice for anything higher than 1080 vertical is very limited. Put these two together, and there's just nothing large available in 4:3 anymore. I eventually went for a 24" 1920x1200 Samsung 2443. It's good for the (quite cheap) price, but not in the same league as my HP one was (but nothing like the price that was new). A couple of friends had seen it and bought one, but I think it's gone obsolete now. There was another Samsung one same size and spec but with a more flashy surround and faster response for gaming (and less contrast IIRC), but I don't play games. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

No, but even if they did, you'd end up with a big monitor displaying black strips. (Your PC video driver may be able to do this if you really want to.) All the ones i've seen can, including the two 26" i have here. As for the black strip, if the resolution is correct they will be minimal and the picture will be exactly the same size as it would be on a 4:3 if the wide screen is the same height, so i don't see what the problem is, it's in the mind i think!

In reality there is little if any detectable difference to the eye between any unless the contrast ratio is really poor. I bought two of the cheapest i could find, they are both fine although one did have a low contrast ratio which is noticeable particularly on text. |

When it comes to photo processing, I'm stubbornly hanging on to my old Sony CRT until I can find a decent LCD at my price.

You probably won't ever find an LCD that performs equally as well as a Sony CRT in good condition. I'm sad that I had to retire my Apple monitor, which uses a Sony tube, because it was getting dimmer. Finding a new CRT of the same standard to replace it is of course impossible, and even the most expensive LCDs (Eizo, LaCie etc.) don't come close. You can train yourself to cope with an LCD monitor but they just aren't capable of producing the image quality of that good old Sony Trinitron- or Mitsubishi Diamondtron-based CRT monitor. I'm not into paying new prices for top kit, so I'm looking for last year's top kit, iyswim. We're not there yet. Maybe 2011's top kit will be acceptable, and affordable in 2012. |

Rather than pay anything above market rate for a basic 19" 4:3 TN
panel monitor just to get one identical, I suggest selling the one you have on Ebay and buying two new identical 4:3 monitors - preferably with 3yr onsite warranty. Otherwise if one fails you are back to square one AND paid above market rate to do so. If the original were an IPS for reasonable photoshop work it is a different matter, it isn't. |

It was obviously one of Tesco's end-of-line models with all the labels removed from both the TV and the box. The price was good, including the non-delivery charge, and I collected it from them immediately after purchase; it worked just fine straight out of the box, and is still working so I can't comment on their after-sales service. --- Cheers, Allan |

Doesn't this suggest that the name was sold to Liquidity Services Inc., who are now using it to trade as a new company, separate from the old one? It's possible they didn't take on the liabilities such as outstanding warranties. That might explain problems experienced recently in the pre-Administration period (when the company was failing) or post period, when warranties were invalidated. The web-site still proclaims a 12-month warranty on all goods sold. |
