albovin, If I do try to see the effect of the black crush shift, I first need to find an appropriate picture. The effects are so subtle that most pictures will not show the effect. The next thing that is needed is perfect lighting in your room. If you have a window or two in your room, you...

I bought an XL30 about 6 months ago. There are two problems with the monitor. The Natural Color Expert will not work with Vista 64 and I doubt it will ever work. I calibrate my with a standard eye1 display2. And then there is the signal noise. I have a 9500GT and every time I update the...

It looks like the XL30 signal noise problem is fixed with the Nvidia 182.06 driver release. It looks like Nvidia changed the default timings from "Auto" to "DMT". I think Nvidia still has some problems with custom resolutions. This problem is not specific to any monitor and it is listed in...

Afterhourpower, The custom mode is the default mode, it is the mode that you referred to as "non-mode". Samsung calls it Custom mode. Custom mode is the only mode that allows you to manually adjust the brightness with the buttons. Custom mode is the native mode of the monitor. It has...

albovin, It sounds like you have a big case of XL30 envy. In an effort to justify why you don't own one you come up with ridiculous examples of "color shift". Your example above is complete non-sense. Who in their right mind would ever operate an XL30 or any PVA monitor positioned like...

I opened the "QUALITY CONTROL" image on my XL30. I moved the window around the screen and I could see that "Q" has a little more or less contrast with the background as the window moves from center to edge. Other letters may have varied some, but I think I could see the difference with the...

The manufacture date for mine is April 2008. I tried 50Hz and it did not solve the problem. Try going into the "Custom Resolutions" dialog. The GDI Refresh rate should say 60. Then change the "Timing standard:" popup from Auto to Manual. Then down in the "Advanced Refresh Rate...

I bought a Samsung XL30 a few weeks ago, I found that the Natural Color Expert Software did not work with Vista 64. I worked around this by using a calibrator that I had. One of the issues that other people have reported with this monitor was something that looked like signal noise...

How high did you need to raise the voltage? And did you only have to raise the CPU voltage?

I am not sure what I am doing wrong but I open the picture of the three turtles: http://img182.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tortillax3xl30cm0.jpg And on my monitor (XL30) they all look exactly the same. If I get out of my seat and walk over to the side of the monitor and look at them...

I am sitting in front of my XL30 while reading about all this *PVA and color shift stuff. While sitting in front of the monitor I have never noticed color shift. I keep thinking that I must be missing something. While walking into the room and viewing the screen from a 180 degree angle I...

I just bought a XL30, I think it is the recently produced model. S/N ED30H1LQ400022H and Version SP01. I suspect they have not made any changes to the monitor since it was first manufactured. I did get the newer X-Rite calibrator. I have seen what you describe as flashing lines. I...

I disconnected my RAID card and connected an external eSATA drive and installed XP. I then loaded up the Samsung Natural Color Expert and ran the calibration. Now it is my understanding that the program creates a color lookup table, similar to the one that is created using my one eye...

I looked through all of the services and did not find any that work with Natural Color Expert.

I have tried version: V.1.0.22 and then I found a V.1.0.32 (NCESetup_eyeone_VISTA_0905_1032) I am not sure why they have two versions floating out there. Neither has worked for me.

I had one of the first Apple 30" monitors. That was back when you had to pay $1,000 for a video card that would handle 2560x1600. After many years it was showing its age. I was watching these LED monitors for a while. I saw them at a CES show a couple of years ago. It took a long time to...

I bought the Apple 30" on Amazon, their price was $3,125 or something, and I almost ordered them, next time a looked it was up the list ($3,299). Then they lowered it again, I ordered them, got free shipping. Next time I looked for the fun of it, back to $3,299. Just keep an eye on Amazon. I...
