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 ended up sending mine back for a refund, I just could not be happy with the performance of the monitor at the cost and how I use it. If I primarily played high movement FPS games then I could definitely see myself using it though but too many of the things I use it for just didn't work well...
I can tell you that either your screen is broken as hell or you were using it in 60Hz mode, mine is nowhere NEAR that bright in a dark room.
So as I said, either broken or not configured properly.
Did you use a Dual Link cable when you tried DVI? Because that's required for 120Hz at 1080p
Hmm I noticed something, when changing settings using nvidia control panel using the "adjust desktop size and position" it reported 120Hz as selected but I could tell it wasn't in 120Hz mode so I went...
It's strange because what you describe (specifically black level on a completely black screen) sounds exactly like it.. Are you using displayport or?
My edge bleed is definitely noticeable under normal use if I don't drop black level and brightness down, when I use it in a dark room at 10...
STaRGaZeR69, are you sure you haven't accidentally put the monitor in 60Hz mode? Because that makes it go really bright in exactly the way you describe it..
For me it's almost hard to tell the monitor is on on a black screen in a dark room, that's how deep the blacks are..
edit: Oh let me also...
I put Black level down, though if you go too far down you will start to lose detail in darker colors. Down to about 40 seemed reasonable for me at least from my testing so far.
So I have spoken to Eizo's support, according to them you can expect edge bleed, especially with certain settings, just how much varies however there are ways to eliminate it with settings. Black Level for example seem to have a very noticeable effect.
I did some setting tweaking, in a dark...
I do agree that the software is pretty sweet, there are a couple of settings it doesn't allow you to change however it has All the important ones that you may tweak often.
That and it can also make the monitor switch profiles automatically depending on programs running and such so it can be...
I found that going for very low brightness helps a lot (my glow is also green-ish)
My current settings: User1, Brightness 10, Contrast 50, Black level 50, R G B 100, gamma 2.6, turbo on..
This mostly gets rid of that for me but these settings has it's drawbacks as well of course..
That's interesting, gamma shift definitely makes it Much more apparent for me (shifting my head makes it less obvious, but most definitely still there so it's not just gamma shift)
I got no doubt that the screen I got has a fairly serious flaw in it compared to what it's potential is now...
As I said, it doesn't show up on pure black... The gray color that the friends list on steam uses for example is quite a lot brighter nearer the edges then in the center. Also this image shows it for me quite clearly on the right side when I display it in fullscreen...
Well mine is super great on pure blacks too, it only gives problems when it's a bit brighter then that, certain gray/brown shades stand out in particular. It gets exponentially more obvious as brightness is increased.
I'm fairly sure the monitor I got is particularly bad because it can be VERY...
Vega, I would love to know what settings you have been using and what you would recommend people test their monitors with (and for what kind of usage) edit: also if you noticed the problem with the edges bleeding a lot that quite a few have noticed.
So I did a bit more testing, I noticed that the brighter the settings you used the more you could see the problems of edge bleed, right side getting exponentially worse as it went higher, right now I am using these settings and the problem with edge bleed is acceptable that I could live with it...
