Hey,

I have an I-INC iF281D 28" HDMI to DVI based monitor, and am having a strange issue. After having this plugged into a PS3 (via HDMI) and my computer (8800 GTS) I am having a weird color issue. Imagine what the colors look like in certain places when it is set to 8-bit color as opposed to true color. That's what is happening here. Movies, games, you name it look atrocious on here. I will have a picture up here from my camera here in a bit, but anything (minus white) has odd colored lines added to it, and weird gradients. I think that the image will serve better in terms of explaining what I am seeing here, but I am leaning toward the monitor being the cause.

Any ideas or experiences that are similar to this would be much appreciated.

I remember someone reporting a similar problem with a DS-263N last year. Everything looked horribly muddy and the photo he took did look like 8-bit color.

In your case too it probably is a defective monitor.
 
Oh man, I don't know what happened, but after a few times I switched it from 24 to 16 back to 24-bit color, it fixed itself. Weird, eh? I am still going to watch it like a hawk...
 
This is odd - it came back when I left my computer on overnight. Suggestions as to why it works brilliantly, than this?
