Is this worth $289?

315 or so including shipping.. Heard pretty good reports about the guy.. But i wouldn't want to deal with returns etc with someone all the way in hong kong... to easy for the package to be lost, or what not i think, i'd rather deal with someone inside my own country.. I've had one bad bad experience with customs before when i shipped a package as "gift" like he does (to canada though) my customer ended up having to pay 75$ in customs fee for a 300$ digital camera.

Do you know anyone in the states selling it for around the same price?

And hopefully me soon, looking to get some investment money and i might spring and buy about 10-15 of these lcd's, i'd sell em at about 300-315$ shipped.. maybe cheaper depending on interest.

I just rec'd mine from them (actually ordered 2). It works great! No complaints so far but I have not really tried out the touch screen yet. Read somewhere that the TS did not cover the whole screen, corners???. Took 3 days to me here in Seattle, WA. Sent on the 18th and arrived on the 21st. No custom charges. Very clear graphics.

Ditto, the shipping was signature-only and it arrived in a few days. They have been very good about returning e-mails and helping out. Grade A for customer service so far, they are usually easy to get ahold of and straight up with you about what's available.

Got mine very quick also in Seattle, WA. I am happy with product and service so far. No import duty (was marked as computer monitor for customs).
..and I got all advertized accessories.

Sorry to rain on the happy parade...but,

I ordered mine on 11/18, and after a few "tapdance" answers, I discovered that they were really out of stock. Mine has been shipped (on 11/29), but can't really track it. Hopefully it will arrive in the next day or so. If not, emails to Hong Kong...good luck.

Mine took 4 days to Tasmania, Australia. Very happy with the whole delivery process. No custom charges either. The screen is great. No problems at all with the touch screen reaching the edges or corners of the screen.

Installed the screen in the car yesterday, and apart from being a bit reflective, it's great. I'm using 800x600 input resolution and it copes really well.

I recieved two from them so far. They were really quick about sending it both times, but I'm waiting on the third. They assured me that it's rare for me to get two defective screens in a row. It's cost me over 50 dollars in shipping fees (for returns alone) thus far. My last one had a jurrasic park. I'm asking for them to check this one but I haven't heard anything from them lately. Believe it or not, even after this ordeal they will still get positive feedback. I just want a good screen this time.

Good screen so far, I actually use it mostly in the livingroom. I sometimes use it in the car, the Lilliput touchscreen from Ebay has logged a good 3 hours 5 days a week without problems.

I haven't had a problem with the touchscreen corners, I can easily X and _ any software, you have to go through the 25 point calibration which is HELL on earth. I would suggest doing this:

Using a Palm stylus and HOLDING down on the flashing dot (it beeps when to go to the next one).

I'll trade your "jurassic park" for my "girl in the trees"? Maybe we can make a collector's game out of the bad LCDs.

After I downloaded a working set of drivers it worked fine. I can also say they hold up in low temps. After I installed it the temperature dropped to 4 degrees. It did seem to be a slight bit blurry until it warmed up completely. I have mine power on all of the time so that it keeps my settings and generates some internal warmth. They come apart easy (just watch the ribbon cable connector clips).
