Hi all 
I recently picked up a brand new LP2465 for an excellent price, but it's driving me mad, and I ask for advice from your boundless knowledge.
Up until now I'd been using a LP2065. I know the LP2465 uses a VA panel and therefore has slightly worse viewing angles than the LP2065's S-IPS, but I'm experiencing very noticeable gamma shift at the edges of the screen, which is significantly worse on the left side.
Moving my head just a couple of centimeters results in a distracting shift in dark colors. Even the distance between my eyes means there is a pseudo-stereoscopic gamma effect when I look at the edges of the screen. I've taken to playing Crysis at 1600 x 1200 instead of 1920 x 1200, with black bars on either side, because the gamma discrepancy is so distracting.
When displaying uniform dark colors, especially gray (like the post background on this forum), I also see a very slight cascade effect in the middle third of the screen. It's very subtle, but annoying nonetheless.
I know I'm used to IPS, but should xVA be this different? Is there a noticeable difference if I got an AUO P-MVA rather than a Samsug S-PVA (which it's supposed to have)? Can the serial number tell me which panel I got?

Many thanks for your wisdom!
