Hey guys,
Just picked up a Hanns-G HD216DPO 22" LCD from Staples.com ($150 after MIR
).
Upon opening the box and connecting via HDMI>DVI, I've found the monitor to be exceptionally bright and vibrant. The image quality has impressed and I've found no dead pixels.
That being said, however, I'm making this comparison based on previous ownership of an older LCD, the Hyundai L90D+. It, too, was DVI connected.
While the overall color vibrancy and image quality seems to be better on the Hanns-G, I've found that overall, the monitor itself tends to favor blue. I've balanced it out as best I can via nVidia's Display Optimization software, but it still seems to favor a bluish tint. On the bright side, the extra blue has finally accentuated gray enough to realize how much I was missing with my old monitor.
Should I consider exchanging this monitor? Will the next panel face the same problems, or is it possible this is an isolated incident?
BTW, contrast ratio is 1000:1 on this monitor. It seems to share the 22" TN used in 1000:1 contrast ratio monitors on Newegg's site.
EDIT:
MODS, please close this thread.
