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 was trying the PixPerAn test on an inexpensive display in a store. The test has a flickering pattern in the lower left.
After I exited the program, that part of the screen was still flickering, even though it now contained the windows wallpaper. The salesperson saw it as well. It lasted...
Forget taobaogle.com. I tried to order from them, and the site did a 1-1 conversion from CNY to USD! (order canceled)
I did some research, and found some recommendations for TaobaoRing.com

I specified the items, They emailed be...
The power supply in one of my two Soyo's died a few days ago.. Once my paypal acct is refilled, I'll order a couple via taobaogle..

I'm considering the Samsung SyncMaster...
This confirms a suspicion that I have.. The bleed issue is not from light shining though the panel, but past it.. The light sources are located around the edge, and should only shine into the light spreading panels/sheets behind the actual LCD display. The tape keeps stray light from shining...
Officemax gave me 3 local stores that had display models left. I visited one tonight after work. It was still up on the wall, running a loop of ad screens, and had a price tag of $275 (didn't ask what they'd actually sell if for.)
It was a PVA model, but when I hooled up to my laptop and...
One of my Topaz S displays started blinking off, accompanied by a faint popping sound, then finally, darkness. Wiggling the power cord produced more noise, and attempts to power up.
I pulled the power supply, and found the solder joint between one of the inlet connector pins and the board had...
Occasionally, after coming out of sleep mode, either one of my two MVA 24D6's will show red or green dots in certain dark shades. I have to power cycle the monitor 1-4 times to get it back to normal. I can also reboot to clear it.
Here's a shot of of a gradient, which groups them together in...
Occasionally, in certain dark gray values, extra junk appears, Usually it's flickering dots, this time it's vertical lines. These appeared after the display woke up for sleep mode.. Power cycling cleared it, so it's not coming from the video card. Also, when I oved the iage to the other...

1. The bottom power LED went out.
2. It occasionally develops flickering green dots in certain dark tones (in a gradient, they appear in two bands) Cycling power clears them, but...
