Ok, heres the reply I got from NEC regarding the colour uniformity problems a few of us here are noticing: "After evaluation by our technical centre, there has been no fault found with the display and the unit is in specification. Therefore further exchanges would be of the same quality. I...

UPDATE: Well, I got a call from NEC who said that (surprise surprise) they "can't see that there is a "fault"". So I asked the woman if she had seen the pic I sent with the middle cut out to emphasise the difference between left and right and she called me back after checking to say that yes she...

Great review ToasyX, thanks for all the tech details! Since it's pretty clear to us that LG is the weak link here and that if they got their act together, we would all have surprisingly close to "perfect" monitors, what can we do about it? Can we contact LG directly and would it make any...

Um, I appreciate your scientific approach, but the "method" I lauded as Genius is Genius specifically because it shows so well on-screen what I (and others) can see with our eyes. It may not be accurate given all the variables, but it's certainly not creating something from our imaginations -...

@vick1000: That is, I have to say, one of the most genius ideas i've come across in a long time. Thanks very much! I've e-mailed the cropped version to NEC... I'll update when I get more news

Ok, NEC have got back to me regarding the colour uniformity issues almost everyone with this monitor is experiencing and very surprisingly (despite including a picture which shows it) say they can't see it in the pictures. To me, it's obvious from my picture (posted earlier), it's obvious from...

Here's a pic of mine with a grey background:

Ok, so my replacement arrived today from NEC. Unfortunately it has exactly the same issue I described as the first one. I have to say I'm a little disappointed because as far as I would guess this is all to do with LG.Philips panels or something else inherent in this monitor. I'd be interested...

I was going to post those pics I took myself, but was having technical probs with my camera. Now I don't need to. These photo's exhibit EXACTLY the same issue that I was describing. Oh lord. Please don't tell me they are ALL like this. Maybe i'll think twice about sending mine back for now and...

I've had both the U2410 and now the NEC 23" and I can categorically say that the Dell definitely does have gamut issues despite the favourable sRBG reviews and also the screen is about 3-4 times more grainy than the NECs which is hardly noticeable. Having said that I *did* prefer the size and...

I considered not mentioning it but from your pics I can see that the white screen exhibits the same very slight uniformity difference from left to right in that the right is more "yellowy" and the left more "pinky/purple". It's also clear that the left has a bit of backlight bleed also. Now the...

I agree, but if ly-chee also had pretty much the same issues i'm having then it seems units in batches are prone to having similar problems. To use the Credit Card LCD Hack you'd need to order the same monitor from different vendors. A massive pain, but it just might work! I have yet to hear...

There is no discernible input lag as far as I can tell.

I agree with this 100% and think it's probably the main reason I've been less agitated by the very slight uniformity problems I've experienced and been raving so much at how much I love this monitor despite the faults on my particular unit. The price/value/quality ratio is very, very good. Had I...

UPDATE: Snowdog, you're absolutely right, changing cable has made no difference at all and there are still the issues previously mentioned. Despite the issues raised, I think I'm in love with this screen as I'm beginning to not notice it's faults as much, and as said, if I had to, I'd live with...

Well, I sent mine back and even though I expected a good outcome, the "testers" say that they cannot see the uniformity problem on my screen. Consequently I've now just a minute ago recieved the monitor back and will be checking it again. Interestingly, the "testers" did mention cables and asked...

UPDATE: I've taken some very amateur pics but they will have to come later as my computer in general is playing up. Bizarrely for me, I'm kind of getting used to the slight variation in colour from one side to the other as it is very slight. I'm having the monitor changed however, and it's being...

I'll do some pics tonight hopefully - I don't think i'll be able to test a 1080i signal as I simply don't know how! It's very irritiating, I have to say, as I've seen it now with a few of these IPS monitors. To be (fair?) honest, the Dell 2007WFP IPS that i'm using here at work from, obviously...

Well mine arrived today and I was going to do a full review of it but instead i'll wait till the replacement arrives: The good news is that its a great quality monitor (really great) and without going into detail (i'll leave my stories till later), I'm one of the most discerning TFT monitor...
