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 have a glossy TV and laptop yet none of them are as glossy as the S2440L. Although my room is rather dark and for most of the time I keep window blinds shut, the level of reflections is so high that I cannon see through them and it hurts my eyes.
PWM is not an issue and I didn't write that...
Just got my S2440L and ...
- unfortunately, it uses PWM,
- my eyes hurt although they might need some time to adjust,
- viewing angels are as good as I expected (my 4-year old LG W2284F isn't worse in this area ...), but it doesn't matter that much to me,
- compared to my old TN, contrast...
Go to http://pcmonitors.info/reviews/dell-s2740l and check that "how to fix nvidia hdmi colour issues" movie. Perhaps that's the reason the black levels on your monitor look washed out.
Just took a video (with my phone, iso set to 400) of my monitor and I can clearly see those horizontal lines going up and down. It doesn't look too agressive, but I guess it's a matter of a proper equipment which I don't have. Anyway, is it a proof of my monitor using PWM or should I check it...
Is there any other way than using a camera to check if my monitor has PWM ? If it does then it's not a problem for me, but I want to be sure before buying the S2440L. The monitor I'm talking about is LG W2284F (LCD).
Yeah, please do upload more photos.
Also, how bright was your room on the first two photos ? I know that reflection of the window behind you looks awful, but other than that it's not that bad
If it's so bad that you can't stand it then perhaps the monitor is damaged in some way or something. All reviews say it's PWM free. Call Dell and ask if they could replace it or something.
For me the main problem with reflections is that it can damage your eyes after some time. I already wear glasses and I wouldn't want my sight defect to get even worse.
