I received my replacement NEC 2490 in today from an eBay reseller. The first one had a bunch of dark spots and a vertical line down the screen.
The new one looks pretty decent so far, although I am still testing things. But I have noticed some image retention going on.
If I look at a bright screen in my browser, for instance, let's say yahoo.com, read it for a min or two, then go to hardforums, I can see the outline of the previous page in the background. It's faint... and it goes away, but why is it there at all? Does this happen with most IPS screens or 2490s?
The hours used on this isn't insane (9400ish), so it's not like it's a super elderly monitor yet. Is this a flaw with the monitor or do most IPS screens have this, to one degree or another?
