Frameless IPS glow is what I get after drinking a couple of brewskis. :D I never saw it when I checked the monitor under normal daytime hours or at night when I had some lights on. The fact that I had to sit in total darkness and edge my way to the side to the monitor to see, seems pretty...

Some in the dark photos....with ips glow shots....the red dot in one screen is the red led from my mouse...not a stuck pixel

Yes I can understand that. Glad you got a good deal on the U2412M. Please come back and give us your impressions of the new monitor. Good luck my friend and thank you for your posts!

Hi Zod No scratches, but I saw your post on how you got scratches from a microfiber cloth....that's not good. I clean my lenses and cam filters with a microfiber towel and never had problems...but you may need a bit of fluid or just water to keep from dragging a dry cloth across it.

Fodalv I play mostly FPS games...can't wait for Far Cry 3!! Quickshot from TFT2 & CSG....very bright in the room right now

Namelessme First thing I checked it with....passes with flying colors (no pun intended). No I do not have any hardware calibration equipment. I've been working in the media business for over 20 years, calibrating monitors with and without hardware was part of my job, I work in the television...

On the left...lots of overhead light from skylight, sides of picture are deep black...it's like a black mirror. Same conditions on the right except photo with colors. Mind you, this is with the sun beating down through the skylight over my head and lots of ambient light from living room...

Ok...I checked it out again tonight. And yes in a totally blacked out room with just a black background it is noticeable...if you shift from one side of the monitor to the other...you'll see a glow across the screen. I usually don't sit in total darkness staring at a black screen, otherwise...

The software that came with the monitor lets you set up the monitor on the fly with prearranged boxes where you can drop apps in predetermined places on the screen and the windows will stick in the box...don't know how useful that is...but it's there...and you can just turn it off via software...

livefast The IPS glow is inherent in this monitor as well. How bad is it? I can't see it unless the room is totally dark and I'm shifting side to side in front of a totally black screen. Under normal conditions it's not noticeable. There are no hot spots showing up on the screen, it's...

For those interested the monitor is set and calibrated from the factory at 2.2 gamma, I've checked it...it's spot on. Out of the box I've only had to adjust brightness and contrast...was way too bright...brightness I've set to 50 and contrast adjusted to 67. Brightness out of the box will...

Ok here's an off axis shot to show you how nice the screen is, even at acute viewing angles. The shadow line is a reflection of the wall intersection behind me. I'm using a prime lens to shoot this with a narrow depth of field...so that's why the center is the sharpest...in case you're into...

Hi Oton I don't know why I would need anything higher resolution than 1920x1080(easier to read text without using a larger font)...it's perfect for everything I do...my main priorities are color and gray scale accuracy and great blacks. Lag times in games is important, since I play mostly FPS...

Hope you guys are not sick of me posting pictures:mad: Here's where I'm getting a lot of light in the room...sun isn't overhead yet..where it would create the most reflections obviously.

Fodalv Believe me....when it's daylight out...I'm in the worse possible situation...skylight directly overhead!! Here's a suggestion....if you have a large piece of glass, put black poster board behind it or use a framed picture with glass over it and set it in front of you, under different...

l33twannabe The room I'm in where I took that picture has a skylight directly overhead...the skylight is on a sloped ceiling angled towards the desk about 3 to 4 feet away...so it's very bright...I didn't use any flash or artificial light to take that picture. I have huge windows to my left...

Namelessme At home, this is my first IPS. I work in the media, and 99.9 percent of the screens we use are IPS, some older, some newer. It would be nice if they came down in price....2 more would be interesting in a 3 monitor setup just for gaming....I'll need a bigger desk though.

Hi livefast I loved my Asus, but being a TN panel I hated it for photo work. Can't justify spending big bucks on a monitor...I love deals. Didn't want to go the Korean displays...no support, no guarantees. Didn't want to have to go and upgrade my video card...more money...I have an ATI...

Reflections don't bother me, but if you don't like reflections of any kind...this monitor will kill you! I personally didn't want a monitor less than 27 inches and the calibration on this monitor is spot on!!...that in itself was a big deciding factor for me. I get the feeling you would be...

I just received my s2740L from Dell. Like zod mentions, this monitor is mirror-like. I got the monitor for $320 plus free shipping. No dead pixels and the monitor colors are fantastic from edge to edge, text is sharp and backlighting is very even across the entire page. This monitor is...

bsander I can only speak for myself, but I have progressive eyewear and have issues with reading on the computer workstations at work. For home I had a 32" Sharp gaming computer which provided for larger text, which made it easier to read. I was apprehensive buying the Asus as I figured the...

Hi dpoverlord... I understand the Samsung P2779HD suffers from input lag compared to the monitor only version. Here is an excellent review, if you're interested....very indept. I believe this is the exact same panels used by Asus, LG, etc... The only difference is the internals...

Thanks gman....I love this monitor, and I understand the limitations of a TN panel, but this one is unfortunately just a bad pick of the litter. Hopefully the replacement will be more satisfactory. Other than that it's perfect for my needs. I downsized from a Sharp 32", which replaced a...

Anyone put a full gray background on their screen. I just got this monitor a couple of days ago and looking to return it. The bottom of the monitor is noticeably lighter than the top. I have a pink hue on the right side of the screen that isn't there on the left, especially over light...

Hi Rustman I sit about 2 feet from the monitor and it's perfect. I do a lot of work in Maya, Sony Vegas, After Effects, and Photoshop and I never have to move my head for editing work, which can be very tiresome if the screen is any larger. I run the monitor at 720p and the font size is also...

No black bars whatsoever at 720p and 1080p! Where did all the trolls come from? :D I owned 2 westys and both were sent back...the blacks/contrast was definitely subpar on the westy. I can honestly say the westy is not in the same league as this set. The blacks are incredible on this...

ChakkaSol What you have is more than good enough. I'm pushing mine with an ATI x850xt and it's great. I'm waiting for the next wave of Directx 10 compliant cards before thinking about the upgrade. The only Directx 10 card at the present is the 8800. -Scorp

Took some more pictures....check em out if interested......... http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=823020

If you plan on getting this for your PC and desktop go for the 32". It has a higher contrast ratio and you won't get eyestrain like I did with the 37" westy. I'm not discounting the westy, it's a good deal...but for all the extra connectors, tuner built in, 4ms response time....it's a no...

Sorry I take lousy pictures....more lousy pictures to come. lol I'm getting reflections from a skylight on the second picture...it's actually black looking at the screen.

I got to say this monitor beats the westy hands down....and I owned 2 at one time. I had problems getting it to 1080p at first because my ati x850xt was set to use alternate timings...As soon as I ticked it off in catalyst and set the monitor to dot for dot...bingo!, it produces an AMAZING...

Thanks for the pictures BM5...glad to see you up and running. I use this tv as a pc monitor and having owned 2 previous Westinghouse 37lvm w3s I have to say the picture on this 32GP1U is much much better. The blacks are on this set are even better than I had on my 20" crt. Edge to edge the...

Hi Champ I have no issues with browsing, everything is very sharp, I have no idea how he has his set up...but I have absolutely no problems with this monitor for primary pc use. As I mentioned before, I had a 37" westy and the first set looked fine but the bezel had separated from the...

I agree dandrop... Been researching for months, bought a westy 37" as a pc monitor, had it for a month, but found the size too cumbersome and tiring for detailed video editing work, and the black levels left a whole lot to be desired, even after extensive tweaking. But I have to admit...
