Yeah, but it was worth a try.
I just wished each european customer would ask for a new replacement in the first two weeks. Just to let NEC now that it's not OK to sell such devices.
I guess in the store it wasn't that quiet. In my room (if it's quiet) I can hear the noise slightly up to 1 meter in front of the display.
I just got my new replacement model and it has the same noise.
But it has no dead pixels so I think I'll keep it and live with the noise.
Rev...
Yes, R,G,B and white screens can be tested with Eizo's Monitortest utility for example: http://www.eizo.de/pool/files/de/Eizo_Monitortest.zip
Or just use an image editor ...
Thanks! (because in the OSD this can't be seen - not even in the advanced OSD)
So I guess if my replacement (noisy or not) will be a 2009 model then I have at least a new firmware :)
