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.
Martin,
I agree a head to head review would be nice. The original Tom's review was June 06 - don't know if there were any firmware updates but the black level and hotspots got my attention at the time. I was 'in the market' and that's about the time the banding issue showed up on the Dell...
NEC's "Advanced" S- IPS is the same as the HP "Enhanced" S-IPS (both Philips panels) just a different tag. Of coures the widescreen is a different panel, but the panel technology is similar if not the same. Perhaps you got one of the better NEC 20WGX's but Tom's hardware review of your monitor...
It is incredible. I do a lot photo editing and it's the best monitor I've seen for that - stable consistent colors across the screen and good angle viewing. The glossy NEC's have a glare that isn't present on the HP. I have a flicker free model. I had to tone down the brightness off default...
Incredible, really. You first got an S-IPS panel with a slight flicker, that didn't bother you at first, then an MVA for a replacement, then they ship a replacement for that - a "possible" refurb? (what indicated that it was?) S-IPS that you reject and get all your money back. Damned HP - you'd...
I think you misunderstand. Open ANY image (not a screen shot) in photoshop. That's just to activate the eyedropper tool. Then when you sample areas outside of photoshop, it gives RGB readings, which would tell you if there is a difference in the pixels on the one side vs. the other. And in my...
What I did - open an image in Photoshop in a minimized screen so you can see the right and left sides of the msn.com screen, make sure the color palette is open, grab the colorpicker/eyedropper and click the mouse in an area of the image in PS and continue to hold down the mouse button and move...
Pretty sure that the 'advice' on these panels (LM201U05) - it came up on some Dell threads - that you should run your screensaver. First time we've really seen that in a long time. I forget exactly why (technically) for this panel, but it was added as an addendum to the Dell manual and is in the...
The ES/AS-IPS panels (enhanced - HP, Advanced - NEC, et. al.) have better blacks than the earlier S-IPS and ISP panels.

I had an older Philips IPS panel just before the HP and was able to compare in the change over. I now have the...
Not everyone experiences the flickering (see some of the dpreview posts) but as always, you see more posts on people that have problems, than ones who don't unless specifically asked :-) I have a real early model GMS001, no flicker, so perhaps something changed since then.
Yeah. Like I said it may or may not be useful. The idea was to use that listing - like use 'find' to find a company name - eg. NEC, Philips, etc., then see what the company's grantee code is (some have more than one ;-), go to the FCC site, then punch in that code plus "display" or "lcd" you may...
