Dear HF-members,
I just registered to start this thread - so bear with my noobish ways, shall you notice any.
I recently received a LG IPS234V-PN display after shopping around for a rather cheap IPS screen. Since the 234V had the best reproduction of sRGB (at least in my budget), I went with it. After connecting the first one I received, I was amazed by its colors, contrast and over all look (coming from a ViewSonic VX2260wm). But as soon as I got to the Win 8 start menu, I noticed very faint brighter and darker lines on all blueish solid colors, like a vertical pixel grid.
I decided to ship that one back and ask for a replacement, which I received yesterday. But as it turns out, I notice the very same effect. So far I have tried everything I could think of to remedy the situation:
- DVI, HDMI and D-Sub
- Different laptop (one ATI, one NVIDIA GPU)
- All drivers updated
- Different resolutions
- Different refresh rates (I even used ToastyX's CRU - and to people that don't notice those lines; apparently this display runs 75hz just fine)
Nothing worked, except for a small effect I could achieve by going from 1080p (60hz) to 1080 @ 50hz. Now the lines are much fainter, but still visible (at least to my eye).
My web searches brought up a somewhat related issue in earlier MacBooks and Cinema Displays, but that's about it. Strangely enough I stumbled across a post by ToastyX on this very forum (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1211452) from 2007, that's describing exactly the problem I am perceiving.
Does anyone have any idea what I else I could be trying or would you just send it back and look for another display (Dell U2312HM comes to mind, albeit being much more expensive)?
Since it's hard to actually "get" what I'm trying to describe, I ps'd a picture to show the pattern I am seeing. On a "normal" monitor, this should somewhat reproduce the vertical lines. The effect is much stronger than what I am seeing, though.
