So I am getting this weird flicker - yesterday after the monitor was on for several hours, it just went black for a few seconds and came back on. Minutes later it did the same thing for about 2 seconds. Do you think this is an overheating issue, or something potentially serious? Been using it since Early January, and mainly over vga.
Hoping to not deal with customer support...
I had that issue with one of my monitors for a while, eventually the unit died after maybe 3 weeks of use. I also noticed that the unit was making this electrical static sound intermittently
Did they get you a replacement? How long was the turnaround?
mmm yeah i tried every setting but to no avail.Try getting the video card to do the scaling. It will result in a slightly fuzzier, but smoother image.
It's usually in the nVidia or ATI control panel/Control Centre. You select "use video card scaling"
That will help in this situation. I found that the L2410NM was pretty good at sizing these resolutions, but at that point, interpolation quality can become questionable.

Just picked one of these up last week and love it! No issues with what's been posted in here.
I've run through all the basic troubleshooting with ATI support and they've now told me to come to the forums to find a solution...
The problem:
Over the HDMI connection:
1) Colours appear washed out, or overly bright.
2) Text is difficult to read/ annoying/ blinding after long use.
Here's the story:
I've had this problem since December when I bought a new Westinghouse L2410NM 24" monitor:

The monitor has both HDMI and DSUB connections, and I noticed that the DSUB looked strikingly better at reproducing colours and also made fine text much more readable when hooked up to my HD2600XT.
Interestingly, the same problem occurred with a Nvidia 8400GS i also had around. (The HDMI connection had the exact same poor image quality as the hd2600xt). However, I was able to fix this using the following driver hack:
http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=58483&view=findpost&p=330319
Which involved editing an .inf file before installing the Forceware drivers.
Finally the Nvidia 8400GS was displaying perfect image quality over HDMI, unfortunately, my more expensive HD2600XT is still not capable of giving me good HDMI image quality.
Can anyone offer a suggestion how I might modify the Catalyst drivers to get my HDMI quality on par with my Nvidia card, or even the DSUB from the same card?
I have uploaded a full size demonstration of the difference between the HDMI image quality vs the DSUB image quality here:

Smaller versions can be found below
Take notice to:
1) How the colours change within the different lands on the map.
2) How the black text on the left side is much easier to read on the DSUB picture.
I've also found another person who is having the exact same issue with this same combo of video card and monitor:

I've had this monitor for about 6 months now, and it looks like it's about to break.
I used the monitor mainly for my computer. It blanked out/turned pink occasionally, but only for a few seconds. Now, it's been pink for a few hours and doesn't look like it'll go back to normal. I tried to test my HDTV and PS3 on it, but It doesn't even detect them anymore.
What can I do? I want to get rid of this POS. I bought this monitor from newegg in december... Doubt they can do anything right?
I just got one of these open boxed from new egg for 280 and man it is a sleek monitor. Not a huge monitor buff but I know for damn sure I have seen monitors way worse than this for a hundred bucks more.
Any dead pixels? I'm pretty hesitant about getting open-box displays on newegg...end up getting something that someone else returned for some reason or anotherI just got one of these open boxed from new egg for 280 and man it is a sleek monitor. Not a huge monitor buff but I know for damn sure I have seen monitors way worse than this for a hundred bucks more.
So have had it for 3 days now and it worked fine untill I tried to play BF2 which doesn't support wide screen.
I was using a DVI cable with a HDMI adapter.
When the game started out the screen went off my screen it was way too big. so I exited the game and my resolution was changed on my desktop and it wouldn't change back so I restarted the computer then it wouldn't recognize the HDMI input.
I am running it with component cables now but it only does 1920x1080.
any suggestions?
I experienced this once (the flickering) playing PS3 with the PS3 heat blowing on the monitor and the room was >80ºF. I've since moved into the basement and it's never happened since. I love the monitor, and its on for 6+hrs straight a day if not double that at times.
Well, just read the whole 30 pages of this thread. I wish I remembered that Hardforum had a place for display discussion, but I already picked this particular model, brand new in box for $270 shipped.
This is my first lcd display, but I am glad I have one with no dead pixels, buzzing, or screendoor problem that everyone is talking about. I really hope this monitor holds up, because everyone's experience with Westinghouse's warranty department seems horrible.
I'm really satisfied with this monitor so far, especially for the price I got. I just hope it lasts.....
