Looking at general Lee pictures it doesn't look too bad.

off topic, but I just posted a suggestion for IMG tags to be auto removed from quotes. Chime in on this thread if you feel the need to add your $0.02Same here. Can't stand it.
Is FG2421 a good monitor for someone who:
- prefers a flicker free display for reduced eye strain
- no gaming, but prefer minimum motion blur in 2D/desktop mode when scrolling text in web browser/PDF/MS Word/etc
- *VA panel > IPS due to lack of white screen "grain"
- amateur Lightroom/Photoshop user
If not, anything better than FG2421 at under $1000 for the above requirements?
Nice image, but pixels too slow for me.
I- *VA panel > IPS due to lack of white screen "grain"
If you are talking about EcoView this is the auto-dimming system regarding ambiant light. And if it works the same than on the fs2333 then having it activated means you have PWM even with brightness@max because the feature uses PWM to adjust the brightness of the screen depending on ambiant light (using the translucid sensor on the front of the panel, near the buttons).I still can't figure out what the energy save option is and why its on by default.
I miss the days when you thought your ZR30W's had good black levels and were not grainy J/K.
How does this monitor do anything different than light boost during fps dips? I am apparently completely lost on how this monitor operates.
cmon Vega, where are your monitors? I am waiting to see what you think before I pull the trigger!
Friday. My wonderful 3-day shipping somehow with Fedex = 5 days.
Consider yourself lucky. Same thing happened to me, but I'm getting mine next Monday despite it being shipped out this previous Monday.
I called PCNation to see what was up and was told their normal distribution center was out so they had to ship from a different one in CA. To keep the cost down, they had to switch to ground, or so the phone rep told me. The distributor is most likely BLT given the location.
They offered to send another unit out to get it to me by Friday (with a holding charge, of course), and I could simply reject the package arriving on Monday. I didn't want to bother with that. Instead, I might take the other option they suggested: reject the package for a refund. The panel lottery seems too risky at this point...

Ah, looks like I fell for the trick too! On all the invoices from PCNation, and even on the shipping email it says Fedex 3 day. Even the guy that called me to confirm the order verified it was 3 day. If I open the tracking in a normal Fedex window, they all say ground shipping!
Oh well, 1st world problems aren't that bad. Now I would be pissed if Fedex misses the Friday delivery date, and because of Veterans day on Monday it wouldn't get here till Tuesday eh? Then I would be calling and complaining for some money back...

There are a few cross-hatching free IPS with the same(ish) semi-glossy coatings as the FG2421 and semi-glossy PLS. The Viewsonic VP2770 & BenQ BL2710PT will have less ghosting than the FG2421 when the 240hz is disabled and offer far more screen real estate.
This is not a picture of your screen displaying the stipy picture, you have re-uploaded the original picture itself...
Is there a version of the Viewsonic as above but with 1080p? I struggle to get a decent frame rate in BF4 as it is.
EIZO are looking into this and it does seem as though only some screens are affected. EIZO UK are waiting for a reply from Japan.
So with me saying previously that something looks like it has been dripped down the screen from the top down, in lines or so. Is that something else to what you guys are on about? Should I also send this monitor back?
I only really see it in dark scenes in games. But one of the reasons why I bought this monitor was for great dark scenes in games!
Supplier had reported 2 out of 10 screens affected so far.
are these spaced apart at regular intervals? it sounds like a classic dirty screen problem that has afflicted many LCD panels over the years, I don't know the exact explanation, but something to do with the manufacture process. You can imagine the sheets of TFT or filter layer feeding through some rollers and a build up of contamination on the roller leaving a residue every 360° rotation. You won't be surprised to hear it was a big problem for Sharp TVs for a long time, affecting some very expensive products and causing a lot of stress for people trying to get replacements.It's not diagonal. It's almost as if something has been spilt on the screen and allowed to drip down in straight lines about half a cm in thickness
it is normal because intended viewing gamma is not 2.2 or sRGB but flat 2.4It's really weird that in order to get some kind of contrast and get rid of grayness I have to turn gamma all the way up to 2.6.
