Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I just got another Dell 2209wa and I decided to check the service menu for the backlight hours to make sure it was at 0. It was at 1 hour which scares me because it seems like I got a monitor that someone else returned. Is it possible that it was turned on in the factory for some sort of...
Just to note: The Dell fails the lagom sharpness test at its default sharpness of 50 and passes at 40. However it still looks decent at 50 sharpness. The HP passes at its default (4) and looks bad at the highest sharpness (5). One reason the HP might be not as sharp could be because it only has...
I've been having a "difficult" time reading text on the ZR24w and it seemed more difficult to look at. Now this might be in my head, but I couldn't exactly place my finger on why it was more difficult. I am coming from a 22" Syncmaster T220 which seems much easier to look at. The text on the...
Have two ZR24ws and just picked up a 2209wa. The 2209wa looks sharper (i'm not sure if its 'too sharp') and has much better sharpness controls. The white glow (bottom left) also seems less apparent when looking at it dead on, although that might be partially because its a smaller screen
How far away was that picture taken from? That looks like the IPS white glow that I have on my HP ZR24w. Try one from 3 feet, then one from 4. It seems to be an inherent flaw with IPS monitors. I'm not sure if the severity of the glow varies much from unit to unit though. I'm still trying to...
That picture was taken at 15% brightness, my current settings are
0% brightness
75% contrast
(i also upped the gamma on my video card because it seemed to make things look better, but it doesn't affect the glow)
I work mostly in a very dim environment.
It seems like the range of brightness on...
I just got twin ZR24w's from Amazon. These are my first IPS monitors. I'm coming from a Samsung ToC T220 after I decided I couldn't stand its vertical shift & bad colors.
The one thing that really bothers me is the white glow on dark backgrounds, even when viewing dead on from 2.5ft away. It's...
