Hi, I recently bought a HP ENVY 17t-j100 Leap Motion Laptop, aside from some of the issues I have it, the salient issue I'm hoping to find out here is what type of panel I'm using here and if anyone can tell me what I'm seeing. The panel PnP ID is: LGD03FB -- it's a LG AG panel but can find no...

Yikes2000, you're welcome and thanks for sharing your unfortunate experience. I think I'm going to buy one more S2740L and be done with getting a wide-gamut monitor. About the monitor damage, I'm going to take pics of the damage to the monitors in case they said I did it. I was 100% careful...

You're welcome and good luck! I got my 3rd replacement monitor today -- same issue, pink on the bottom right and green on the bottom left -- but much lighter this time, although, the bottom right (where the pink is) has a slight dark spot. Changing modes / color temps seems to get rid of the...

Matt, according to Chris-M on the Dell forums, the Uxx13 series will have the inverse ghosting issue and there are no plans to fix/mediate that with a firmware update and possibly tinting issues. My suggestion is, try the Dell size you really want (24 or 27) when they have the best price offer...

That looks like pricing for the U3014? A good price on the U2413 would be $449+Tax

It does! I'm not blaming Dell totally, they are not manufacturing it, but they really should contractually obligate and spec the monitor for all n-inches you paid for, not just the center 2 inches: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/t/19269971.aspx But I guess if...

Update: Dell sent the monitor replacement within 2 days by fedex. Terrific customer service, but poor QC with LG or whoever is responsible for putting these panels together. Anyways, the final verdict is that the replacement monitor is also being returned. The new unit, while it has great back...

Again, nice desks, I like the Bush design, hardiness and ease of disassembly when moving (dissembled and moved my desk twice) I believe mine is the C series. I tried various brightness settings and decided on 48 Bright / 38 Contrast to prevent inverse ghosting. Also, have you tried the fullsize...

Forget about HDTV's as a monitor once they are over 27" -- I bought for a test a 39" Toshiba, and while somethings were nice about it, colors were nowhere the same as a monitor and text legibility was bad. I still may give that SONY model a chance, but my expectations are low. As for my U2413, I...

Still will get back to you later today, but for now, I found this: http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666519671 which is due out on 5/5 -- it's a 32in Sony HDTV. I think after searching through all these...

Oh yes, the "Smart Video Enhance" -- terrible -- I discussed that with another HF member when I was playing back video in the Official Dell U2413, just turn it off. I have to make this post quick, but will reply in full tmrw, and I'm just venting a bit a now, my replacement came today (terrific...

Thanks for the feedback -- yep, mine is on DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort and I haven't tried to change the cables yet to see if the pink tint changes on different connections, but the very bad backlight bleeding on my U2413 is a problem regardless of connection :( Awesome setup! Just...

Very nice setup! Congrat's! Don't want to spoil the moment, but do you have any back light bleeding / tinting on your monitors? I got the pink tint on my U2413 (that I'm exchanging, that was similar to the blue tint I had on my U2410.)

Good question. You'd have to go back in time to 2006 ... it seems like the pinnacle of LCD tech was during that year with the models in production (along with QA standards,) IMHO, it's been all downhill since then -- it's now a race to good enough, rather than producing excellent quality...

One More Update :) I sent a request to Dell to replace this unit for a new one today -- should be getting it sometime next week. I'll update this post with another review. Just one thing though, I don't expect the inverse ghosting issue to go away, although, it can be minimize with adjusted...
