and another 20-25 were asking how to get the DVI to work w/ the monitor.
Coldtronius said:MAJOR UPDATE:
After having this montior for a few days I discovered my intial finding of "backlight bleeding" incorrect.
Apprantly, due to the desighn of the panel, the corners have a slight "washed" out look when viewed from the center therebye giving the impression of backlight bleeding as indicated in the photo below
However, I found out when I centered my head to the left or the right of the monitor the "backlight" bleeding all but dissapeared.
Left side
Right side
In short, I have very few gripes about this montior. It arrived in perfect shape and has been doing excellent in almost all my games. Sure, the NEC would be nice but for half the price, I think I found my new monitor to last me until SED comes out full swing
Still looks like backlight bleeding to me. Especially since off-axis viewing has the same problems on pva and s-pva monitors and I don't see any of that X-Pattern on my 2407wfp. The 215tw, equivalent gateway, and 1/4 204ts suffered from the same X-Pattern backlight bleed thouugh. I don't think hiding bleed using the monitor's viewing angles constitutes no backlight bleed.that_aznpride101 said:I FINALLY GOT IT!!!
When I first plugged this thing in, I couldn't believe how widescreen really expands my view of my desktop space! I was grinning when I was playing around with it earlier. Thanks to this thread, I spent $330 on a good investment. I didn't find any dead pixels using Dead Pixel Buddy *whew* but I do see a reddish tint on the right side when I viewed my new lcd with a white background. Personally, I don't think it's serious, it only becomes more obvious when I stare at it. But besides that, I'm one happy consumer.
Oh, when I first turned the thing on, I noticed it's freaking bright! Gonna have to fine tune the contrast, etc later but for now, it's time for me to download that Kristin Kreuk wallpaper I saw posted in this thread.
Thanks again, Coldtronius! I owe you my.....Um.... Gratitude. Yes.
By the way Acer, that isn't backlight bleeding you're looking at. Read the following.

I payed almost $400 I don't think I should have to look at a dead pixel/stuck pixel, once you notice them they stand out.
silentsnake09 said:i already tryed all that for hours, think I should return ? is it even possible to return cause of 1 pixel ?
