Sorry, I feel compelled to jump in here.

JSWolf, I believe you're mistakenly confusing two unrelated scenarios.

LVD, the supplier in the Ukraine, will begin selling V3s soon with Vizplex screens. They are the one whose photos you saw with the Vizplex stickers. No sales from LVD have taken place so far at all. That is one scenario.

The other scenario has to do with Jinke in China, where zdevil and I have gone about buying our V3s. This company's website and online order form makes no mention of Vizplex at all. But they DO happen to sell V3s with Vizplex - it's just that Jinke is not mentioning it, presumably because as soon as they do, no one will want the old non-Vizplex versions anymore (although they sell for 20 dollars less). zdevil was not promised something which didn't come - zdevil is simply disappointed because Jinke is not forthcoming with the knowledge that they have V3s with Vizplex on hand.

The sneakiest part of it all is that I highly suspect that once the non-Vizplex versions have been "purged", or sold off, that the Vizplex versions will drop in price that 20 dollars which seperates the two models for now. (I have to add that this is nothing but speculation)

Until then, the factor which most prevents people from chosing Jinke's Vizplex V3 over the non-Vizplex model is not the 20 dollar price difference, but the fact that Jinke is completely silent about the existence of the Vizplex models except when directly asked about them.
