Whenever I turn this monitor off at night, it enters some kind of sleep mode or something, and when I power it back on, it cycles through the available inputs, then cuts off, as if it can't find a source. I know my computer isn't going into sleep mode since I have the power settings set to always stay on. But right now, the only way to get this monitor back on if I cut it off, is to reboot my computer.
Am I doing something wrong?
Yeah I just noticed. It seems to me this company is a little too shady for me to give them my CC info.
*Sigh* Oh well...
Anyone notice this monitor is now at Amazon for only $430? Given the only difference between this old model and the new 265W is the stand, I'm pretty inclined to save the $300+ and get this.
Unless there is some other reason to wait for the new model coming out next month?
My DS had a little bleeding in the center/top, only like a size of a dime, but I feel it's due to pressure of the frame.
Anyway, my DS-263N today randomly just died. All of a sudden after going to bed, when I tried in the morning, the monitor would not respond. At first I thought it was my computer, unable to come out of powersave monitor mode, or something, so I restarted. Nothing. Reset BIOS, tried again. Nothing. Tried my computer on another monitor - worked.
So I tried on the other DVI-I port, which had my PS3, than my DVI-D which had my computer so far. Still nothing. Tried a different cable, a new 10 ft monoprice dual link DVI-I cable. Tried both DVIs, nothing.
I assume something surged last night (even thought all my electronics were fine, even have high quality surge protectors) and something went awry with my DVI ports. My PS3 worked briefly, only to try again after removing it from the DVI-I that only when plugged in again that the screen was black (but at least it recognized it, unlike my computer which it acted like nothing was plugged in/in powersave).
So DS said they'd either fix my monitor or send me a new one. I confirmed with the person over the phone that I would/could get a new/my fixed DS-263N, which I commented that it is probably the best monitor ever made, unlike their newer revision DS-265, which is utter crap (which I hoped could be passed along to someone here in the states).
Anyway, TL;dr my DS-263N broked, spent $50 to ship it to DS, and hopefully I get a fixed DS-263 back or a new one that is just as good I had no dead/bad pixels either too, ugh. I only have had it for about 4 months so far, nothing
Can anyone with a DS-263N report over 3 years of trouble free operation? Mine was repaired recently and I'm seriously contemplating whether to just permanently replace it with a smaller less troublesome monitor.
Hi, Eldata,
I've got a DS-263N that I just retired in favor of an LG IPS263V. I never had any trouble with the DS-263N, never had to have it repaired, but when I "rearranged the furniture" the ambient lighting conditions changed enough that I had to alter the screen settings. These changes highlighted the clouding that the prior settings were able to mask. I decided to retire the "263" and keep as an emergency backup.
Hope this helps.

Chuklr, thanks for the feedback. Mine overheated from day one causing strange artifacts on the right hand side after extended use. Had to use a small fan from time to time to control that. Also, the DVI-I input never worked properly, it would default to analog (DVI-A) when used with a DVI-I cable. Had to use the DVI-D input with a DVI-D cable.
Sent it to Doublesight recently after all inputs failed, no video, only blank screen. Well, they fixed that but now VGA and DVI-A have a color flaw. Blacks look purple. Digital (DVI-D) looks normal. I use both the DVI-D and VGA inputs so this is unacceptable.
Long story short....Got a Samsung 2333T to use while the 263N was in the shop and after getting used to the smaller screen, I find it far less troublesome to use. Furthermore, it doesn't feel like a space heater. Have decided to relegate the 263N to some corner in the basement. What a waste of $700.00.
