wouldn't hurt specifying the model of the monitors. :)

Nope, no dust. I bought it a week ago. I have my brightness set to 65.

Hello, I have a 24" HP LP2465 that gets really hot, especially in the top right part at the back. I noticed that even the actual screen gets pretty hot. Is this normal? My room temp is around 86 degrees Fahrenheit. thanks!

same as a 23" 16:9 display. There's your reason for a multiple display setup. :)

lots of people. what is the resolution of that thing in the first place?

Ok, I got it. :) Can you please tell me something regarding the two questions I posted above? thanks!

thank you, maybe it's related to the weird sub-pixel structure of VA screens...or because 24" displays have smaller dot pitch. Dunno. Any thoughts about these two issues:

bump :D

Ok, when i took the shots that I posted above I had been messing around with gamma, some settings from the video card, Hp display assistent and I actually made it worse. :D I ran system restore and now I see quite an improvement, on the lagom gradient test I can barely observe some banding...

thanks for the help, guys. @10e: I can see banding on the images from lagom site also, especially in the form of vertical lines, more or less equally distanced with the distance decreasing towards the darker end of the images. I took a few pics of the screen with my crappy camera...

I hooked up a 17" crt in parallel and if look closely I can see the artifacts on that also, although greatly reduced; so I guess that the lcd really shows what it's there. My big problem is now banding, I can clearly see it especially in tones of grey (like you see on the header of this website...

Thanks for the help, guys. Especially in small images like thumbnails with a lot of contrast between two areas.

Nope, I was referring to images like the thumbnails from youtube videos, for example. Or the avatars from a forum etc.

So this is one of the things that inherently exists in all LCD screens and I can't do anything about it, right? I even notice it on low quality vids. But if it shows even on the NEC 2490 which is pretty much the best lcd around...

I recently moved from an old 21" crt to a 24" lcd screen (S-PVA panel). I really like it, except for the fact that images look over sharpen and pixelated, especially the one that are scaled down, like avatars. They look like a jpg image saved with very low quality settings or a gif with not...
