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.
If i don't sit there staring at a white screen thinking about how sparkly the whites are, i don't exactly notice nor do i care about the AG coating. That is, until i come on this forum and read all these comments by a small number of people that make a lot of noise regarding this issue. Most...
Whats the point of sending out a monitor that's not ready for prime time? I would think that they should send a proper panel to show off PLS at its finest. Time will tell.

These days i don't play games, i just wanted an affordable IPS panel since samsung doesn't make S-PVA anymore. I can say that the ghosting test here...
I called and asked them what exactly their policy is concerning what qualifies as a defect. He automatically assumed i was going to start talking about dead pixels. I explained to him about the horrible bleed on the lower right hand side and he said that it qualifies and that i can send it in...
Well that wasn't that bad. Newegg will be sending a new monitor along with an email with a return label for the defective monitor. Shouldn't take too long. Now i will have to decide if the heavy AG coating is bad enough for me to sell the new one before opening it up.
The plan was/is to watch tv on it (PIP)..I suppose its time to contact newegg now :(
I've been using this for 5 years.

I just received this monitor and created this account yesterday. I have mixed feelings. Coming from an old school SPVA panel with great blacks and minimal backlight bleed, this caught me off guard;
By todays IPS standards, how bad is the backlight on this panel--in particular, the...
