Does anyone have any recent experience with the "extreme" range of OZiQ 32" LCD PC/TV? Wow, reading through this stuff from years ago brings a tear to my eye.

After a month or so the screen flickers. The computer works fine, but the constant flickering is bothersome. Is there a fix to this? Or is system not worth the time and expense. Ant comments? Thanks.

All have horrible display issues when running at 1280x1024 seems like magnetic interference. or some kind of electrical interference is causing constant visible wavy scanline type movements. Are there any LCD/Monitor drivers to compensate for this issue? Tried the latest VGA drivers with no success. There are no Monitor drivers included with the Driver cd therefore having a monitor that is not installed properly. Purchased 40+ OZiQ 17″ AMD Based barebones.

Have done a few sales and all the os and s/ware loads- pretty resposive units guys and seems to be a stable response to the desktop jumble issue. ta - Steve Just posting up as a reseller of the OZIQ, based in regional WA, all are welcome to test drive instore.

I had a play with one of these last night. Didn't get a lot of time on it, but it looks the goods. This one was specced out to your standard P4 3.2Ghz, sitting behind a 15" LCD panel. 512Mb DDR RAM, upgradable to 2Gb... um, what else? DVD-RW, onboard sound (inc. notebook-ish speakers), onboard graphics (I think 19" and above are meant to have seperate graphics card.) That's about it for the moment... looks like your average 15" LCD monitor sitting on your desk and about the same size, so if nothing else, it's a space saver for the office! The website is a bit lacking, though... at least a list of dealers would be good (I know they definitely have some across Western Australia now.) Well… not vaporware anymore.

However, I've since spoken with the CEO of the company that designed the OZiQ and there are certain aspects in the OZiQ All-in-one box that will be substantially different from any similar computers. One them them is a touch screen for kiosk applications. I should have a unit on my desk within a few weeks and will keep you guys posted. Of course, nothing beats an iMac, right? :) Cheers, Martin Folks, I’m well aware that iMacs and other implementations of the same concept are out there and, yes, I was not thrilled with the moniker “innovative” either.

It certainly looks to be much slimmer than any of the other Windows-based all-in-one LCD units -- at least from my memory.
