It is the backlight. Is this repairable?

I had forgotten that it was an S-PVA, I was just excited to get away from a TN when I bought it. I did do the factory reset and changed settings, neither had any effect. Thanks so far.

Hi guys, I was hoping that someone could provide some insight on a problem that I'm having with my monitor. It is out of warranty. It was left off for 3 months for the summer and when I came back, it initially turned on normally. However, after 10-30 seconds, it would go black unless turned off...

Is that left keyboard a filco with custom keycaps? Where did you get the keycaps?

Yep, what he said. I rotate it to portrait view pretty often, to read articles/comics/pdfs etc... or just to lie in bed and watch movies on my side. Anyone have any suggestions? I wish that the monitor was silver/had a blue led, to match the rest of my desk... haha

Oh yeah, I have two mice on my desktop... ambidextrous (at least with a mouse). The wireless one came with the keyboard (got them for 34 bucks shipped) and I figured that they could work on my bed right behind me too. Didn't work as well in practice cause the reception and tracking on the mouse...

Renovated my workstation for this upcoming semester. Before, it was my Macbook Pro all by itself (and a headphone amp). Headphones aren't pictured here, since I usually keep them in a drawer. Running windows in parallel on the macbook pro screen: Just mac, night shot: I was...

I decided on the BenQ G2400WD.

I'm trying to decide between the Dell S2409W and 24" Asus too. I've been leaning towards the Dell because I like the even bezel and design more (I plan on using portrait mode a lot), but the fact that its matte is throwing me off a bit. I've been using a glossy monitor for the past 4 years or so...

What are the advantages of the LG L227WTG-PF over the two monitors I have listed here? Why is it significantly more expensive?

So the overwhelming consensus seems to be to go for the 1080p monitor, yeah? Are there any other brands I should be looking at? And where should I go for a better return policy on monitors?

OK, but that would raise it similarly on the laptop screen, which I wouldn't need. Either way, without any modifications, is this resolution going to be harder to use? I'm gonna be buying the monitors + arms between now and Jan 14th (when I go back to school, although I do still have another...

But wouldn't going to the non native resolution on any LCD make it look like complete shit?
