    BenQ IPS Display: Ghosting text and weird moire/banding when scrolling

    eta to add this image: when putting up a dark grey or black image there are these weird vertical lines. Wondering if this is a common issue. Thanks again.

    BenQ IPS Display: Ghosting text and weird moire/banding when scrolling

    Hi everyone! Trying both DVI and HDMI. Tried both 59/60hz. I disabled AMA on the monitor and it seemed to help a bit and helped the most. The banding is almost gone but the ghosting of the text while browsing is still very eye strenuous. I updated the monitor and gfx card drivers. No luck...

    U2414H display vertical lines on black color

    I'm getting those same vertical lines on the BenQ PG2401PT. Normal? Not very noticeable most of the time but somewhat annoying for a high end screen to have. Switching over from an Asus Pro Art, which did have some uniformity issues but an all around a great monitor. Any thoughts? Should I send...

    ASUS PA246q alternative: PA248q?

    Just ordered a refurb BenQ PG2401PT. Only one I can find with a 30day return policy. Doesn't seem that there any "new" ones out there.

    ASUS PA246q alternative: PA248q?

    Hi everyone! The PA246q has served me well for the past 5-6 years. I originally bought the NEC PA241 but the AG coating proved too annoying. The pa246q has developed yellow warm spots and I need to replace it asap. I like the panel and the aspect ratio at 24". I see there's a PA248q but for...

    Upgrading EIZO S2433W, with what?

    Indeed, both use the P-IPS LG panel, yes. Other insides, no. Maybe I got used to the AG , as I didn't compare them side by side and had a day in between, but in any case it was slightly easier on the eyes. The Asus is not a dream to calibrate as the NEC was but if you need to support a wide...

    Upgrading EIZO S2433W, with what?

    The NEC pa242w sounds like a great monitor. A little over a year ago I tried out the pa241w and the AG coating was not very flattering. So I did not end up keeping it and opted for the Asus pa246q, for now.

    I've got $600 to spend on a 22-24" for photo work and general use

    Yes, the AG was the only reason. eta: It seems I'm not the only one to downgrade for that reason http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1036902047&postcount=94 One of your points: Must have excellent text reading qualities. The NEC PA241w is definitely not the one for reading lots of txt...

    firefox5 : subscribing to a thread

    Tnx for the tip. I'll re-check those. I've had v5 running for at least a week and the issue only popped up today. Haven't installing anything since updating to that latest version.

    firefox5 : subscribing to a thread

    Hi there! Noticed today that the little arrow for the thread tools drop down list (over near the top right) is missing when browsing the site via Firefox v5. Is there another way to access the "Subscribe to this Thread" feature? Thanks in advance :)

    I've got $600 to spend on a 22-24" for photo work and general use

    I was in a similar boat a few months ago. Switching from a pro series CRT to the LCD world. Was looking for like you say general use and plenty of photo editing. I went with the NEC PA241w($800-$900). Great screen but could not get completely used to the AG coating. It took at least a month to...

    NEC PA241w testing - the next step

    Thanks for the review. I was curious about the ag coating on the 241.

    NEC (PA241W vs PA271W) vs Eizo CG243W NEW

    I've tried turning it on and off to help with the readability of text. I left it on last I used it. It gets even harder to read text off the browser with cleartype turned off so I've left it on. Using IE9 and FireFox4 for web browsing. Booting from a WinXP drive now...Turning cleartype...
