denise_eca that's weird that you can't access it - try to google the company name and try to access their website like that, but they do sell and ship the monitor internationally (as for me, I bought it from Germany). The procedure of ordering it was a bit different for non-US customers, because their checkout form didn't allow to choose a destination outside of the US (don't know if they have changed it since then), but using their contact form and notifying them of the issue, they have taking good care to get my monitor shipped as soon as possible once I paid their invoice (unfortunately you have to expect to pay a hefty customs tax bill afterwards).

Edit: I see I got ninja'd 😃 but it seems you still have to contact them directly for a non-US purchase.

      denise_eca I paid roughly 320 euros customs taxes on top of the 275 dollars shipping, so I would assume that it should be pretty similar to your destination. I think nobody would be surprised if I told them I was like "holy cannoli!" when I saw the Fedex bill.

          seeker_of_no_light Yep. They declare the full value of the monitor (and fairly I can’t blame them for that), and so the customs fee from FedEx was also huge here in Canada.

            karthi3219 A bad setup is not tolerable. Things I am sensitive to like OS, video card — problems with these are on full display with this monitor. It only eliminates the backlight problem, which is the need to lower the brightness to minimum on most (non Quantum Dot) monitors. Not having to worry about that and to have a well lit screen with sunlight coming in my office, that’s good for me with my basic Intel integrated graphics on legacy Windows. This monitor eliminates a hugely problematic variable, but is not a cure-all.

              Is the surface of the monitor glass like an apple display or just a glossy polarizer film?

                chahahc Not sure. How may I tell? It does not have a matte appearance, that's for sure. Yet I don't see glare from it unless the sun is low in the sky and shining directly on it from a low angle.

                    That's a good question. I'll just message SVD with that to confirm.

                      At the risk of pestering you with more questions, could I ask if the RLCD monitor is viewable through polarized sunglasses? It would seem intuitive that a display originally designed for outdoor usage would be polarized in a way that would make it viewable while wearing sunglasses. But in my experience there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason in the polarization direction of LCD displays. In the early days it seemed VA panels were horizontally polarized and IPS panels were usually vertically polarized, and thus viewable through sunglasses, but nowadays it's a crapshoot.

                          chahahc I don't mind questions. It is viewable through polarized sunglasses. The image goes dark if I turn my head to the left, but is still visible if I turn my head to the right.

                              That's interesting. If it was vertically polarized then tilting your head 90 degrees both to the right or left would cause the image to go dark. But if its only in one direction it might be that the polarization is at a 45 degree angle, which could imply that it's a TN panel, as those are the only panels that I've seen with angled polarization. Does the image go full brightness and full darkness when you view it at opposing 45 degree angles?

                                  I watched some of a video reviewing this monitor because I am curious. One thing I found interesting was, one of the things the reviewer tested were 2 games.. one of them had tearing, and the other one did not. I found that puzzling because he hadn't changed anything on his system afaik and I don't know what the reason could be and you would expect the behaviour to be consistent and it was not. I have a theory about input rates, but in that scenario it would be consistent with everything.

                                  @degen Have you ever noticed this effect of tearing with motion, esp if it's the whole panel like a game like Civilization or something?

                                    I tested again and the only way the image goes full darkness is if my head is tilted the left 45 degrees or tilted the right 135 degrees.

                                    I never noticed any tearing at all playing a game with lots of motion (World of Tanks) either full screen or windowed. That's only one game I tested though.

                                          I play games pretty regularly with this monitor and so far I also haven't noticed any screen tearing. Also tried screen tearing test videos on YouTube and don't see anything, but I am not sure how reliable these are.
