I've owned many lcd displays in my life. I'm finding that if the display doesn't have a stuck pixel from day 1, it doesn't usually happen over time (at least for me.) Is this the general consensus? I have a Gateway 2185 and am worried that i will end up having this issue.

even after i move my head to the left, it still is brighter than the right.

http://www.pbase.com/image/69626586 Please look at this page and tell me if the left side of the page is brighter than the right. I am going crazy because of this. My 2185 is much brighter on the left side than on the right. thanks, Charles

I find myself moving it way toward the blue to get it to match the background. Which brings me to my next point...can i match the graph on the left side or do i have to match the background. it's very hard for some reason to match the graph. Do you have a better package than eztune to...

when i use the eztune calibration, it looks right but then when i finsh up, the colors are really messed up and not right....a person's face will be white. is there a better piece of software that you use/

I use eztune and when i think it's all good and then all the colors are wacked out... what do you guys use? thanks,

I like it but i notice on the left side of the screen it's much brighter, even moving the head so it's dead centered doesn't help. Not sure what to do with it because i did get a good deal at $200.00. Clearance at an office store.

Yeah, i'm aware of the moving to right/left thing, however, i can make a 360 degree turn and it wont cut down on the brightness on the left side. I'm wondering if this is normal for this particular monitor.--i.e. uneven brightness Charles

Is it me or when i look at web sites, the left side of the screen is MUCH brighter than the right.....for example http://www.pbase.com/streetkid/image/59747442 look at the gray area...on the left it is brighter...than on the right side. Anyone else see this? It's probably back light...

I have a gateway 2185 and it seems darker in the middle, especialy when looking at a grey screen. Is this normal? I think it is but wanted to check. Charles

any way to fix the gamma on the component.

I wonder if a tech could just turn a knob inside.....like a gain button.

caps lock key breaks sometimes........don't even notice it sometimes.

Not sure what you mean..it's all lower case.

I brought over a friends same monitor; the gateway 2185w and it does not suffer from the darkness issue with the component input. It was made actually earlier than mine; july 05 compared to oct 05. Anyone find out how to fix this. I've move contrast/brightness all the way up and no luck.
