I recently upgraded from a 1GB 4870 to a 7850 for the 2GB of VRAM playing Skyrim with 4096x4096 textures and I'm very happy with that.

Replaced my 4870 with an HIS IceQ X Turbo (factory overclocked to 1000MHz core frequency). The new card is actually a little shorter than the 9.6" 4870 was, so it fit my Antec SLK 3700-BQE midtower. It's quite silent and Skyrim temps run around 45C (ambient 28C). Unigine Heaven temps is 66C at...

Haven't noticed any banding and I use sRGB mode.

Try using a different mode (sRGB?) to see if that makes this defect less noticeable to your eyes.

Only thing that comes to mind is if the IPS glow bothers you. It does have it.

Sorry to hear that. :( Mine was officially open-box too as it was the one on display in the store. Only problem was a couple of easily wiped-off fingerprints on the screen..

I've installed the driver. Doesn't seem to make any difference. Came across this thread yesterday. There's some good info in there from a photography site perspective. Deals with the modes in particular. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1004&thread=37762466&page=1

Mine was tested for bright/dead pixels at the store in front of me before I bought it.

The factory calibration on my ASUS is good enough for me at the moment.

I haven't seen it personally but it is said to have a rather thick antiglare coating according to several threads in this forum.

You might want to give the ASUS PA246Q a look if P-IPS is to your liking. It has a 3 year no-bright-pixel warranty and is factory calibrated.. :)

I like the logo. Must be because I'm old. :D

PA246Q here. I see mine only occasionally and as like a tiny bit of dust on the white parts of screen.

Have you guys installed the Windows 7 driver that comes on the CD with the user manual? I'm wary of installing it as the monitor currently works great without it and I tend to be in the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' clan.:confused:
