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.
Good gaming performance? :confused:
You can't see any reverse ghosting with AMA on?
Even high-end monitors can have bad default color accuracy.
The real question is... how good are colors after user corrections.
Do you think this monitor shows good dark tones after calibration?
You don't...
Everyone can see you did a great job...
But, if I can make a modest and personal note...
If you give 7.8/10 to an "unbalanced" monitor like this...
You should give 11/10 to P-IPS or S-PVA monitors.
;)
ehm... and "ergonomics" how can be a plus?
The ew2420 base can only tilt.
The menu...
How much it's bad is secondary.
...and it's very hard to judge a monitor from videos and photos.
The important thing is what you do with your PC.
You are an occasional video watcher?
YouTube videos... sometimes DVD movies...
The benq can be enough.
Do you like to watch DVD movies, make your...
Hello Danga, you have an historical LCD. :)
First of all, I must say that the 24 inch diagonal with 16:9 aspect ratio is very good.
I hope that there will be more monitors like this.
Black level is also very good... but not yet perfect in the dark room (this applies to EW2420).
Declared...
I think we need a clarification here...
Viewing angle of these BenQ is, in one word, "problematic".
The problem is all in the dark tones representation.
The dark tones are exposed also to slight horizontal viewing angle variations.
This is the reason why you can't completely correct dark tones...
The Nec EA232WMi is coming.
MultiSync® EA232WMi
The U2311H advantage is that it has the overdrive (8ms GTG).
So it's a better choice for gaming purpose.
P.S.
However and personally, I don't think that these BenQ are a failure.
They have their strengths.
Surely the E-IPS panel is a...
I think icm profile don't have gamma informations. So it do nothing to correct colors on screen.
Instead, with video card driver you can change colors on screen. But I don't think it's a good idea to make colors correction in a so approximate way.
Now I've understand because the AMA function...
You can use the settings I said to put the panel in its native condition.
But the temperature of 7000K with gamma 2.0 is not the suggested thing.
If you want the suggested temperature of 6500K with gamma 2.2...
Use the settings and also install the ICC profile.
This depends from your...
If things are like I said... you must say more thanks to AU Optronics.
Brightness: <anything you like>
Contrast: 50
Sharpness: 2/3
Gamma: 2.0
Color: "User Mode" ---> (RGB 100,100,100)
In this way the panel is in its native condition (I think).
This is better for the panel but maybe it...
In my opinion this panel has a native gamma of 2.0 and a color temperature of 7000/7100K.
Otherwise, I can't explain the perfect gray scale linearity with gamma 2.0.
And when I say "perfect" I don't want to say "good". :)
The gradient can be really perfect when the panel is in its native...
I've discovered a fun stuff...
Go to this page:
Gradient test (banding test)
Configure your monitor with:
Brightness: no matter
Contrast: 50
Color temperature: "Normal" or RGB ---> 100,100,100
Change the Gamma setting to 2.0...
Now my monitor show a perfect gray scale with no trace of...
These are my settings for 6500K gamma 2.2.
Brightness: 0 (80 cd/m2)
Contrast: 50
Sharpness: 2
Color temperature: "User Mode"
Red: 100
Green: 86
Blue: 87
This is the ICC profile with the EyeOne Display 2:
EW2420_6500K.icc
Increasing the contrast I have a color solarization.
You know that the...
If you have some question... I'm using the EW2420.
In the whole, I think it's a good product for the price.
There is some light filtering in the down-right border of the panel.
A bit annoying but nothing so shocking.
My model has a color temperature of 6800K.
To obtain the 6500K I must set RGB...
Probably I can get a EW2420 tomorrow and make a direct comparison with my Nec EA231WMi.
Hoping that VW2420H and EW2420 have the same panel and backlight...
