My god, you are having a brutal run of luck. Perhaps you used it all up on some golden i7s or something? lol
Time to return it, get a refund, and get a beer. Make that six beers. Sorry man.
Thanks, guys. I appreciate the kindness. I really fell in love with this display's color depth so it sort of breaks my heart to have to give up on it, but I can't even find one keeper, much less 3.
The biggest problem is the random restarting. All of the panels I've had did it except the one with the smashed bezel and the smudge in the center of the screen which I didn't really test at all. Kinda seems like just a bad design but I imagine the restarts would be covered under Eizo's warranty, if they would actually take the trouble to verify such an intermittent issue. Then again having ALL my fg2421's randomly restart on me makes my system or power delivery look like a possible factor--but it's not a problem with other display types so... I was originally planning to RMA one of the displays to Eizo but I've just had it and all 4 are back or are going back to the retailers. Newegg's probably had it with this thing, too. They've paid shipping both ways on 3 of these. Provantage is paying for the return shipping on the one I have currently, which has the completely dead pixel pretty much dead center, and restarted itself about an hour ago. Normally I would be enjoying the opportunity to research a different model monitor to get instead, but since there are nothing but TN Lightboost monitors on the market I find this all very disappointing.
I consider myself lucky to have found a semi-gold i7 but I went through a bunch of them and lost an arm and a leg selling them off. Never returned/RMAd a single one of the 4770k's I went through because they all worked within spec. I don't really like returning things and since I started looking for a 120Hz monitor I've been doing a ton of it. Wish I didn't know what "refresh rate" means.
Waiting for Benq XL2420Z now. Bug with XL2720Z is not encouraging.
