    What was your 1st 3D video card ?

    Trident 8900 wasn't a 3D card. :) And Descent... did it even support SVGA? Even if it did, I'm guessing it worked also on plain VGA, so no need for 1MB video RAM.

    Budget monitor comparison - BenQ EW2750ZL (VA) and HP 25xw (AH-IPS)

    Did you check the VA pixel response time on darkish color transitions as well? And regarding its angles being okay, what was your seating distance? Did you check dark content as well? I'm guessing it might be more vibrant due to the better blacks. Did you check both monitors in a darkened...

    List of LCDs with/without "grid-induced color distortion/streaking

    Daniel: It is weird. Maybe depends on monitor settings? You didn't imagine it, so for now I'll leave the monitor in the "affected" group. Got a reply from Monoprice. They say the monitor is AH-IPS and not AHVA. :) But it wasn't a detailed answer. Considering they had both types listed in their...

    List of LCDs with/without "grid-induced color distortion/streaking

    That's interesting. I have a theory. VGA, especially at high bandwidth scenarios like 1920x1080@60, cannot send a perfectly clean signal. So the grid becomes blurry or the colors change. I didn't check in detail how it behaves with different colors, especially when there's less contrast, but...

    Can HDR monitor hurts our eyes?

    LCD still has a few benefits over OLED: practically no retention and burn-in, and higher brightness. It's also cheaper, for now. I'm sure more manufacturers would try OLED if they could and it proved viable financially, but for the time being most are limited to LCD whether they like it or not...

    List of LCDs with/without "grid-induced color distortion/streaking

    I'm trying to list the "first introduced" date of the panel. That Monoprice was manufactured at the end of 2014, and the panel model might very well be new for 2014 because the monitor was introduced in 2015 (I think?), but is there anything else to go by? I'll mark the Apple 27" as -SDB1, and...

    Dell UP3017Q - 4K 120HZ Oled 30"

    Mind you, input lag is composed of more than just pixel response time. But quick pixel response will at least solve overdrive overshoot trails, and reduce blur slightly.

    Dell UP3017Q - 4K 120HZ Oled 30"

    Finally. Hopefully OLED for PC pans out well. Let's say 2016: rich early adopters, 2017: 2nd gen, normal early adopters, 2018: 3rd gen, mainstream. Yeah, right. :) But why only 400,000 contrast?

    Sorry urgent! Active or Passive for DVI to VGA?

    DVI-A and DVI-I include the analog VGA pins. DVI-D doesn't. I think the question is what the KVM supports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface#Connector

    Laptop LCD problem

    Washed out? If I interpret the photos correctly, it looks like there's something wrong with what it shows all over the screen, with a distinct areas of different "wrongness". Did it look exactly the same with the previous cable?

    List of LCDs with/without "grid-induced color distortion/streaking

    Thanks for checking. Too bad desktop monitors don't report the panel model. I've sent a question to Monoprice. A long shot, but can't hurt. If there's indeed both MPLE27QPM(-R1) and MPLE27QPM-R2 it will be interesting to see if the LG one also shows the problem. Anyway, AUO is the working...

    List of LCDs with/without "grid-induced color distortion/streaking

    Maybe they used two panel types in the same model. AHVA indeed seems more likely because there were already such panels reported, unlike LG ones. But then munkle said: That's unexpected. It uses an LG panel that is a close relative of the one in the U3011, which doesn't exhibit the artifacts...

    List of LCDs with/without "grid-induced color distortion/streaking

    Is the Apple model A1316? I want to make sure, although I see only one Apple Cinema Display 27" model. Where did you get the info on the Monoprice being AUO? Their spec page calls it "AH-IPS" which should mean some LG panel, but so far all LG IPS panels didn't have the problem.

    List of LCDs with/without "grid-induced color distortion/streaking

    It's not an analog artifact, but I assume it's done on purpose to counter something in the analog domain. It would be interesting to find out why it's only present in some panels and not others. Also, when the same panel is used in multiple monitors from different manufacturers, it would be...

    List of LCDs with/without "grid-induced color distortion/streaking

    In what context did you see it before finding this thread? I don't think there's much to do other than picking monitors without this "feature".
