Yeah, I like the style of that 520P, that silver front with the separate bar along the bottom edge, the 520R though... beige... uggghhhh. though if I could get either one that would be fine, I used to own a 520R, kicking myself every day for just giving it to a friend when I got a 19 inch...

So, I have a VAIO PCV-MXS10 and looking at getting a matching monitor for it, what its supposed to come with is an LCD but for the life of me I cant find it, so a CRT is the next best thing, I am liking the looks of the G520P as its silver and grey, but does anyone know if Sony made a smaller...

So... the panel doesn't use PWM, and doesn't use DC dimming, what kind of dimming does it use then that creates this "flicker" that you see? I have had this monitor for about 5 months now, and I cant see any flicker, and no idea what its calibrated to, as I have not preformed anything...

entirely up to you, 10bit vs 8bit, just means less banding in colors like in the sky.. otherwise if you don't care to much about that, go 8bit with the higher refresh rate.

When did you put in the request? I have a stuck pixel on mine, plus the firmware issues, been kinda waiting to put an RMA request in till they resolved most of their problems.

Only thing I can think of would be to not hook up the USB, its a function of the USB device/hub to force Windows to download the application, the monitor should have an option in the settings to disable this... but it doesn't.

I was under the impression most people preferred to calibrate their monitors to ~150 nits or so in SDR for proper photo or video editing.

Using HDR1000 for just a few minutes I had to kick it down to HDR400, try watching some youtube on one side of the screen and have another window open on the other, like say Discord in dark mode... it noticeably dims discord when say the youtube vid shows a daylight scene somewhere, very...

I have never understood the whole "must keep quiet to concentrate", if its quiet then ANY noise however quiet or loud is a distraction, however if I have music playing or a fan making noise, I can ignore it, and it covers up most other sounds that would be distracting. Also I tend to do better...

I kind of did, earlier in the year I had my 3420 RMAed, and Dell replaced it with a 3821, and then I got the 3423, I prefer the 34 inch size, at least for my desk situation (an Ikea Fredrik)

regarding eco mode and refresh timers, I have not seen any diffrence with it on or off, it still asks me to do a refresh after I had turned it off at 10pm, and turned it back on at 7:30pm, running the 101 firmware, kinda getting tired of that notice too.

its supposed to be every 4 hours it wants it done, and every 20 hours it NEEDS it done. Mine running the 101 firmware seems to be regardless of eco mode wants to do a refresh every time I turn it on, its kind of annoying. it could be 18 hours since the last time I used it... and it wants to refresh.

Well enabling eco mode has not adjusted the timer for pixel refresh, it still wants to preform a refresh as soon as I turn on the monitor, regardless of the fact that it did it when I turned off the monitor 18 hours before, I think I will do an RMA one of these days soon. issues I am having...

I don't use sleep for my monitors, I have had to many issues with a dog or something tapping the mouse and causing the monitor to wake, so I turn off the monitor, when I do it glows green for refresh, then turns off, and it complains the next night when I turn it on that it needs to refresh...

thats intresting, I shall have to try that out when I get home tonight.
