Just be careful. I had to go through 4 of these monitors to get an alright one. Three had multiple stuck pixels around the center of the screen. The fourth has two gray-ish pixels at the very bottom, and I think I will keep it.

I just got a new monitor from Buy.com to replace the defective one from Amazon (dead pixel, backlight bleeding). The new monitor is even worse. THREE dead pixels, backlight bleeding and the "pinching" issue under the right bezel is even more pronounced. I will play the lottery one more time...

I want to replace my Dell P2414H which is a good monitor but has grainy AG coating. My requirements are: 1920x1080 Light AG coating A stand that can go in portrait mode. I don't mind either 23" or 24", although I would prefer 23".

In the US it's about $700 after tax at BestBuy. I regret buying it from the Amazon merchant.

I keep it at 30% brightness. Here is an image. Note that the camera exaggerates the effect by a lot. Even more annoying is the right edge of the screen where it looks like as if the bezel is "pinching" the panel:

I just got one from the merchant on Amazon and it is bad. Has 1 stuck white pixel in the middle and excessive backlight bleed on the right. I requested a return let's see how it goes.

I just got this monitor an I can confirm that the coating is grainy. I don't have the Asus to compare it to, but I have an old dell 2007fp and it is just as bad. I am deciding if I am going to keep it. I don't know if there are any other monitors in that price range <$300 that are both PWM...

Beware of the sparkle effect. I was really disappointed when I got my 2007fp with S-IPS panel, the sparkle effect annoyed me to the point where I chose to return the monitor. And this was despite all the fuss and good reviews on this forum. According to this, all big S-IPS panels suffer...

I am on my 3rd Soyo now. The first one got an annoying dead pixel only after 3 days of use. The second one had a bunch of dead pixels right of the bat and went straight back to Office Max. The current one has a dead pixel, too, and I am debating with myself what to do.

Wait, did you say in the other thread that you've mailed the rebate already? I don't think that you can return it to newegg once you've cut the UPC code.

There should be a warning with big red letters on top of the display forums about newegg and their monitor return policy. Don't get me wrong, Newegg is great in many regards, and they should be commended for that, but when it comes to displays they are the worst place to buy from.

I feel your pain. I have a 24" Soyo with one dead pixel, and the js screenfix program from your link did not work. Massaging did not work either.

Oh well, mine just developed a stuck pixel after two days of use. Tried flashing and rubbing but didn't help. The first time I am having a bad pixel on a monitor :rolleyes:

Yes, true. As I've mentioned in the other thread, the Soyo has a better panel than a TN. Supposedly it is a P-MVA made by AU Optronics: click

It is an AU Optronics P-MVA Panel according to this post. I can confirm that it is not TN for sure, since I have a TN right next to it and compared them. The viewing angles of the Soyo are waaay better. WoW looks gorgeous. When I saw Stormwind with the Soyo for the first time, I wanted to cry...
