the "dirty word" few wish to utter: "that some homeless people who live in the woods, choose this life. not because they hate society in general, but that they are "allergic" to it. think of a software person who finds now he *cannot* tolerate any lcd/led monitor and all his job sites require...

hi all. I just now read that the Incandescent light bulb will not be sold after January 1st! http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/dec/16/new-year-goodbyes-40-and-60-watt-bulbs-disappear-s/ And why is this topic even in a display forum?! because...

hi all. Its me again, the old guy who seems to have endless eye problems with modern monitors. can anyone recommend a 20 inch or so ccfl monitor for me?! one with a good dot pitch if larger than 21". I was in Best Buy again today. I looked at about ten monitors. I left with the very...

hi all. The acer h226hql has arrived. looks good, so far. one small problem: the only "driver" for this monitor seems to be two files, acer.icm and a acer.inf. the color profiles and the like.... windows has a generic driver that works but how would I "install" these two files...

hi all, for probably my last post. So is there a good monitor with a very low pixel pitch, high density pixels, with no PWM and not too expensive, out there? [good thing bestbuy has a good return policy.] I am returning the otherwise good Samsung S27c750P as I *really* notice...

hi all. I bit the bullet for a sapphire hd 7770 videocard. I note that this card covers two slots and thus my pci-e slot will be covered and my creative soundblaster x-fi card is there and thus I will have to remove it to use my onboard sound. onboard. the realtek 97 series , the "HD"...

say there, you may have something! last week I bought a Samsung newmodel S27c750P 27". the 1080p only is all my videocard can handle. I must have looked for 30 minutes at the bestbuy display, of it. I watched the demo go through its cycle many times and often the background was very...

hi all. I just yesterday bought a Samsung S27c750P at bestbuy for about $330. Afew days before that, I had bought, and returned a HP 25bw. "everyone" there in the sales department raved about how the hp had a much better image compared to the 27" Samsung next to it. So I bought the hp...

=============== thank you, Mark. I suspect there is a combination of factors. Too, it takes time to adjust to any new monitor as there is a difference between the new and the old. if I had kept it for awhile, I might have adjusted. so why did I return it for my refund, then...

hi all. the *end* of my monitor hunting! I had bought, yesterday, the hp 25bw at Best Buy, a wonderful looking monitor. I adjusted the colors, placed it on a low brightness setting, then proceeded to try it out. I returned it today. Best Buy is good for returns. was my return due...

hi all. Oh the travails of monitor hunting! I "merely" wanted something larger than my otherwise good older crt viewsonic 19". I have noticed, over the years, that my peripheral vision seems to be more "developed" than what most people have. Thus my 19" monitor is not large enough. I...

hi all. What is the difference between Samsung S27c230B and Samsung S27c750p?! the 30B is for sale in Office depot at $250 and the 50p is for sale at Best buy for around $295. very few reviews on the 230B, I find. are they really identical? the 750 has no PWM, I read. Now I...

hi all. the CROSSOVER 27" 27QW IPS . is this wonderful sounding but expensive monitor for *me*? Now that this monitor can be bought now in "regular" online store favorite places, I am tempted. I have right now a veiwsonic A90f+ crt maybe 20 inches. the image quality for photos has...

I wonder just what percentage of these s2440ls have PWM? And someday maybe there might be a way to tell before buying. I see the day coming when *all* the televisions and monitors can only be bought on line, as BestBuy and other retailers close up. there will be no way to look at a screen...

do you know that the visual cortex and the retina processes in stages? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccade apparently the retina and the cortex runs out of "chemicals" so that there has to be a recharging. thus we see in micro-jerks. move your eyes across a white field, slowly...

hi all. from my previous post. http://www.digitalversus.com/samsung-tvs-panel-switching-saga-n15168.html I find this information very very Disturbing!! I read here, "many of the "good" panels are not supposed to be for sale in Europe, and this also means that for this same type of...

whew! After seeing how this Test is run, I went to my s2440l to check this, informally. I set the brightness at zero with 100% contrast and then brough up the wordpad program. a nice white white screen. i s-l-o-w-l-y, slowly moved my finger back and forth and then sped my movement up a...

hi all. there was a post back a while ago that told of how to check the factory settings for the panel model number. This with the dells. but my s2440l has a different set of buttons and options, how do i get to the service settings? I asked once and the reply person just only wrote...

hi all. dell could face a terrible confrontation, I am beginning to wonder about! there seems to be two camps here with the s2440l. one, a beautiful screen with no PWM. two, PWN, often in a terrible manner, with problems with color shiftings and other "not-so-good" stuff. I am...

yes? but this page does not list the s2440l ! this monitor uses a whole different system of "buttons"! freestone

hi all. here are two places one can write to if pwm flicker is seen, on the s2440l. from the tftcentral twitter page. https://twitter.com/TFTCentral *Now* here is a place one can report to, to report PWM flicker on the s2440l ! http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/ and...

sigh. mine does not flicker! my s2440l does not. here is another Idea. there is a concept well known on these forums called "the panel lottery"! ---this is where a major company subcontracts out the actual panel to a factory elsewhere. *many* factories! Like i think one major...

hi syndrome. maybe that is the problem! the first unit off of the assembly line! maybe, also, you got a counterfeit model! seems a bit early to have this problem, but i read once that someone from microsoft was visiting in China and the next windows version was due to be released in six...

hi all. i think that I have the answer to why I have had some small tiny problems with my otherwise wonderful dell s2440l! Here is this wonderful monitor and by the way, i detect no PWM. the clue came just now when i read the reply from my English lady pen-pal, from my mail. I had...

my s2440l seems to have no flicker. no pwm. there are people who *cannot* look at any screen device, even a phone screen, without massive headaches and problems. http://vasyafromukraine.webs.com/ then read... http://www.cloanto.com/users/mcb/19960719lcd.html ya want to read about...

???? oh i liked the apple but my disibility pension is so small I cannot afford it. the s2440l is the monitor I have now. the best one, so far, that I have found for my eyes. but golly, any new thing takes a while to get used to. freestone

hi. that was me, freestone wilson, who posted that! over the years I went from a crt to a hp tn ccfl to a NEC ips ccfl panel. the viewsonic crt 19" was fine. the hp tn gave to me not only *severe* eyestrain, but that basically my visual field was SO interrupted for hours after i...

for those people who have eyestrain, nausea, with lcd monitors! hi all. I once bought my first lcd, a tn panel glossy screen hp 21". I had terrible eyestrain, dizzyness, nausea even. a spacyness of the head for hours afterwards. no relief. I went back to my aging crt a monitor that...

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_s2440l.htm hmmmm. maybe your monitor is defective. say! ---in Sweden eh? is it possible that there is a mis-match between your monitor and the currant cycle, in your country? here in America the cycle is, i belive, 60 cycles per second at 120...

hi again. I took some photos and screenshots. yes there are reflections and strange, the photos show them far more than I actually see. I took the photos with my canon powershot and the screenshots were just from the windows screenshot function. a screenshot of a street outside of...

good morning all. here I sit with my s2440l. A sunny day, bright sun. the kitchen lights are on and the kitchen is part of my living room. I do see reflections, but strange, they do not bother me much. I am not sure why. I have a suspicion that for all of my life I have looked through...

hi all. my S2440l came today, Amazon shipping was quick. I am not a technical techie so that photos and color settings and the like are not going to be done. I set it up while the sun was still out. plus the kitchen lights were on and are on now. yes there is reflection but I do not...

this intrigues me, just how people find one way better than another, then someone else is the opposite! On another forum someone writes how he *hates* a matte screen on his ultrasharp...

discontinue? your s2340m might so be but there is the s2340l that is new and maybe replaces it !! prade says.... Input Video Signal: D-Sub (analog) HDMI (digital) s2340l D-Sub (analog) DVI-D (digital) s2340m this is the only difference that i see. freestone

hi all again.. I am coming around to buying one of these. but my problem is, which one?! I have a 18" viewsonic now. semi-glossy. next to it is a 23" NEC ea231wmi monitor that i sometimes use. there is a matte covering. some screen door effect too. "florescent light tubes bothers...
