I need Colorcomp, otherwise there is a slight green shift at the left side. To clarify, I'm fairly content with the NEC, it's not bad at all. I just wish it was possible to get a panel with the 213T's quality and modern electronics. I think it's strange that this VA panel technology was...

Well, black levels of the old display are certainly better. Contrast can be much lower than the specified value on color managed displays when setting them to accurate colors. I am using the sRGB preset and ColorComp at setting 4 of 5. And of it doesn't have an A-TW polarizer. I might take...

I switched from a Samsung 213T, produced 10/2003, to a new NEC PA241W. Colors are way better of course, contrast is lower though, and I had to fix backlight bleeding on the upper left by inserting some pieces of cardboard between the panel and its metal case (worked fine). Also I am seeing some...

That's a Windows problem. With Nvidia cards, you need to kill some display manager thing and it will work with any cheapo mechanical switch (like the one I use). For people with banding probs.. recent versions of the screen do not run properly in sRGB mode. Use "user mode" and set contrast to...

Can't see much on that picture cause it's not in focus. But AFAIR that's a part of the stand's lift mechanism.

All I'm doing is adjusting the "luminance" slider down by one notch in SoftMCCS. RGB values are slightly tweaked because my screen is calibrated but it's nothing drastic and it doesn't matter in this case. Brightness adjusts the backlight and also doesn't matter. I have it at 25 I think...

I guess it's usually not noticed because most people run the screen at native res. But if you use 1:1 on a lower res, it's noticeable that the "inactive" area of the screen (which is "real" black, digital 0) is clearly darker than the black of the active area. This difference made me realize...

Ít's a design problem of the 245WP and of course won't be covered by warranty. We're on our own on this one. I'm using "User" mode (as I said, sRGB mode is unusable because it sets the white point to RGB to no more than 227), but the screen does not keep any settings. SoftMCCS does still...

Overriding EDID doesn't do any good.. we don't want to ignore EDID, we want to update internal settings in the EEPROM. SoftMCCS can only update the main block, this doesn't help either. The message that the EEPROM is write protected is very bad news. I think to remove the write protection...

The major question is: can this screen be set to properly display sRGB or not. After having tried the Dell 2408 I will not buy another Wide Gamut screen without a working, calibratable sRGB-mode. I hate cartoon colors.

Some thoughts.. - The rainbow effect on the Dell is strong and it's not "splitting hair" to remark that. Contrary to what the article says, I saw it immediately and not after "deliberately looking for it", I think I'm actually the person who posted this info here first (at least I never read...

Ok the Luminance setting is in the extended CEA EDID block of the monitor, and the setting to 63 does get "forgotten" every time it gets switched off or changes resolution. So we now have a monitor that displays a dark blue instead of black because of a wrong internal setting. The only program...

Geez and then even a fullquote on these giant pics! WTF Also not everyone is using a local display, I'm working over a a remote NX connection and this freezes everything for 20 seconds. Great. About the digital brightness setting, it's obviously not the same as in the OSD.

It gets saved automatically. And I explained whats "special" about it.

1.7 is from June or something so devices bought before that are 1.4. For the other question -> Google softmccs, leech, run.
