    After two days with the xb2483hsu-B2 I have to say I am not happy and will be returning it. Some of the problems seem to be inherent to VA technology, others are personal preference. In short: Black crush makes tuning the image very difficult. I think I have something just about acceptable now...

    Some updated impressions: Playing Batman Arkham Asylum, the game looks really great. Blacks do appear deeper, colours are great. I tested the 4 different overdrive settings (Off, 1, 2, 3). As has been said, only 3 fixes the ghosting problem. The ghosting is so bad with Off and 1, the game...

    The xb2483hsu-B2 has arrived and I'm using it right now. Has only been on 10 minutes and I've done no calibration apart from going to overdrive 3 as mentioned below. Using HDMI as I was with the IPS. Extremely early impressions are it's much brighter than I had my old IPS set, so brightness...

    I'm still lurking and still thinking the B2 is what I'll get. Amazon.co.uk don't have it officially, just resellers charging too much, yet it is out officially in the UK from other online stores. I may just go ahead and get it from them. 14 day return policy should be enough.

    Viewsonic VX2370Smh display problem. Any solution?

    My Viewsonic VX2370Smh IPS goes green on the left side with faint wavy lines. It happens seemingly at random and can last for weeks and then randomly go back to working normally again for weeks. I cannot see any reason for it either breaking or working. Apart from replacing it (which I'm...

    Interesting that they aren't identical in performance, or in some of the OSD software.

    Is the difference between the XB2483HSU-B1 and X2483HSU-B1 (no B after the X) just the stand?

    Thanks. It's like inverse ghosting or something? Black leaves a white trail, white can leave a black trail. From what I've read at least.

    Can you explain or show video/picture of the corona effect? I don't know what that is. Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, ghosting is one of my concerns. I was very close to getting the BenQ EW2440l until I saw a video on youtube of the Witcher 3 where even turning the camera caused ghosting that smudged out details like hanging vines. Gamma shift isn't so much of an issue, my old...

    Hi, I have been following this thread for the past few days as I'm thinking of getting the X2483HSU-B1 or the B2. Do you know enough about the B1 to make any kind of comparison between it and the B2? And have you noticed any negative to using overdrive 3? Thanks.
