Psh, I'll be jumpy if I want! Yeah, dunno what happened. Maybe I forgot to run nvidia-settings as root last time, and then when I saved my settings, they got stored in my home directory; the black screen could have been the drivers applying some userland settings. I don't think...

Just had the replacement go black for a split second - is that the restarting that you guys are talking about? It happened only a few minutes after I turned the display on, this morning, so I'll wait to see if it happens again later. I didn't notice any restarts yesterday, though, and I used...

Yeah, I just want to make sure I keep the better of the two =) Inspecting the replacement didn't reveal noticeable cross hatching or dead pixels. I have been staring at both of them together for quite a while, now, and my knee-jerk reaction has been reinforced. On static colors, I still see a...

Provantage is letting me test the replacement and just return the one that I'm less fond of. Immediate off-the-bat, knee-jerk reaction: I was right, the glow was far brighter than normal on my first one. My eyes were starting to get used to it (I'm pretty sure it actually wasn't going away, I...

FYI, experience so far: 1) No restarts whatsoever. 2) I notice no crosshatching (or whatever the term is - I'm too tipsy to double check my terminology), or at least nothing that I can see from normal view distance. I notice *some* with certain shades of green, and even then only when I'm...

We'll see. I'm more interested in the color reproduction (including blacks) for games like Amnesia and Shadowrun Returns, and I'm more interested in the lower input lag (compared to other *VA panels) for games like Overgrowth and Serious Sam 3 BFE. Amnesia's usually dark enough that the...

Interesting. With the one I just got, the bleed is noticeable (I would even go so far as to say "distracting") with any color that is not either *very* close to black or *very* close to white. There is also a good deal of bleed coming from the bottom of the screen, although I see almost none...

AAAAAARGH. I am a moron. I want to say, in my defense, that I did actually figure this out on my own - I at least didn't have to call Eizo to figure this part out. But I'm still a moron. When I first plugged the monitor in, I was randomly flipping the switch and pressing the power button...

Just received mine. Won't even turn on. When I turn on the power switch and *immediately* hit the power button, the power light goes blue for a little less than a second before shutting off. If I wait before pressing the power button after turning on the switch, the power light doesn't even...

I'm cautious about rak u ten because of reports of identity theft (even people using paypal seem to somehow be experiencing identity theft at a surprisingly high degree), and if yours from Provantage has a dead pixel, I'm a little worried about getting the one you returned. I realized not long...

Gah, seriously? I *just* put in an order from amazon for the $560 price they have. Should I wait and see, or should I cancel the order and order from a different vendor?

I cannot. I refuse to accept using a half-assed and proprietary operating system as a solution. Plus, I would have to bring it somewhere far, far away. None of the people I know in my area have Windows or OS X boxes. That said, it appears that NEC has a linux version of the spectraview II...

Hum. That's unfortunate. Is the 24" NEC any good at black levels? Would I be better off sucking it up and getting a 1920x1080 plasma TV (assuming my concern is mostly with black levels)? And here I was thinking that LCDs had finally hit the point where they could replace even the FW900...

I've got a few questions for people who know things about high quality monitors and it seems that, since all of my google searches about the FW900 and IPS-panel LCDs end up here, most of them hang out in this forum. I know there are plenty of threads about monitors and such already, but the...
