How can I get one of those apps?
Hey guys finaly this monitor shows up on the newegg LG E2370V-BF Black 23" IPS Panel Full HD HDMI LED BackLight LCD Monitor
It was adverties as gaming ips panel. The resolution is not x 1200 and its 23" and not 24" but originaly it was expected to have a price of 400.00
and now its 260 dollars whay do you think? I was gonna get pa246q but held off because of the pixel issues with everyother monitor it seems. and now asus changed the policy but this baby (e2370v) shows up at half the price. I need best gaming monitor but money as always is certanly a factor as well. Thanks for any advise.
I have had the PA246Q for a bit now and have done alot of testing on the colors. I THOUGHT using a camera (not a good one) that the input lag was about 20-40, but im still able to get ace on BFBC2 as usual. My old display was the S-PVA Gateway FPD2485W, one of the better ones out there.
I bought the ZR24W first and immediately HATED the black levels of IPS panels. No matter the brightness levels, everything dark was noticeably blending in and detail was lost. My gateway died because of blown caps so I had no choice, but to get a new one. I also hated the glow on the bottom left. That plus 2 dead pixels caused me to return it.
In terms of black level the PA246Q despite the reviews seems a bit better, but still not nearly as good as my S-PVA (RIP). It does have noticeable AG coating causing white screens to sparkle a bit. Annoying but I guess I can deal with it. On a black screen the black glow is not as bad as the ZR24W (did I mention I miss my good ol PVA?) as im currently using 25 brightness. I plan to try to turn it down further, but I can only go so far til its too dark for me to tolerate.
In all aspects, besides the AG coating and input lag I can say the PA246Q is BETTER, if thats what you guys are wondering.
I thoroughly read the prad.de review and was comparing their findings to my display. The BIG ISSUE that they had that shows that U2410 shares same electronics was the USER SETTING linear color uniformity. These issues do not exist on standard and other options (I use sRGB+ calibration). Glow uniformity is fine, but what I think they mean is something that might have happened to me while I was calibrating as well. USER option is the only way to get to the RGB gain and offset options, but when I tried to perfectly match the RGB sliders to be perfect + calibration, I still had noticeable color issues. The biggest of all being that solid RED colors would be borderline orange or unnecessarily bright.
If im not just being a noob about it, and its not the fact that I should have been using sRGB in the first place (I thought it was that I was using a wide gamut setting and it was off for my color depth, according to xbitlabs) , then I may still need to check out the standard settings, because sRGB doesnt even allow me to mess with contrast, only brightness and nothing else.
This isnt a well written review, but I have been reading this thread for a while and I felt you deserved to know my experiences. No dead pixels btw so all good there.
If you have any questions please ask.
Is this still the case? I can't seem to find this on newegg.com or on ASUS's website like I used to be able to.Hi,
I just wanted to let everyone know who interested in this display that the PA246Q now carries a ZBD (Zero Bright Dot) replacement policy. You can contact ASUS customer service at 812-282-2787 for my details.
An update for you Sethk. I have a Spyder2Pro that ive been using to calibrate the monitor. The colors are pretty good on the monitor but the calibration tool seems to put it a little warmer it seems. Right now I used the 2.2 : Native mode so it didnt change the colors too much. Instead I now have been fiddling with the luminosity settings. Setting black to 0.1 and white to 140 or so (tool still read it as over 180 and failing on white, but i dont care about white) seems to have improved black levels a little bit and made the glow a little less noticeable i suppose.
I have to use sRGB or else the Spyder2 will not calibrate correctly and colors seem off. I use most everything for media anyway so if its not sRGB, then it wont suit my needs. As for banding, I used to have banding on my S-PVA and the PA246Q being a P-IPS with 1 billion color support shows no noticable dithering or banding, which is a plus. So to answer your question, no there is no dithering in sRGB mode.
As for blinking, this is mentioned in another thread, but it mostly happens on the HDMI connection only. I had this as well when testing all input types. It would blink for a second every 30 minutes or so. Currently back to using DisplayPort.
No games have been an issue and I can play competitive.

Thanks for the update - BTW for all the those on the fence, tomorrow is the last day for the $60 off coupon on Newegg. I bit.
Before I got the ASUS PA246Q I bought a NEC EA232WMI. I ended up returning the EA232WMI due to it's backlight bleed. I can tell you that the AG coating on the ASUS is less noticeable than the one on the NEC. Both monitors are IPS based. The AG coating of the PA246Q doesn't bother me at all.
the coating is less noticeable OK ! but can u see it ?
is lighter like TN or only lighter than other IPS ?
Ok, just got my ASUS PA246Q setup and so far, so good! Started up Dead Pixel Tester and manually cycled through B, W, R, G, B and no dead pixels! Need to put in some more time with it but some first impressions...
Compared to my Dell U2410...
The anti-glare coating is noticeably better than what is on the U2410. It's there but certainly far less. I would say maybe 30-40% less noticeable, at least to me. That alone has made it worthwhile to keep the Asus! I love the Dell but it's anti-glare coating would drive me nuts editing photos in Lightroom because I thought I was seeing high ISO noise when in fact it was the coating on the monitor...
Al
Here are my updated thoughts as of now…And I’m mainly comparing it to the Dell U2410…I’m not a monitor expert in any way also so these are my subjective opinions…
Anti-glare coating compared to the Dell U2410:
After comparing images from my Lightroom catalog, side by side between the two, the Asus coating is not as severe. It’s there but I would guess it’s about 10 to 20% less noticeable. They may be exactly the same for all I know but if so, the Asus coating is more uniform and even and maybe that is the reason. When I compare gradients in color swatches between the two, the Dell just looks “dirtier” than the Asus because of the coating. From a distance, you can’t really tell but when you zoom in images, you can. Plus, text seems "slightly" shaper on the Asus which might be a result of the lighter or better coating…
u have say 2 different comment for the same question.
why ?
before u say that asus coating is much better than u2410, after u say that asus coating is only less better.
Why ?
have u any difficolult to text reading and internet browsing ?
for browsing or read since some hours is ideal or not ?
cause any sort of eyestrain this monitor when u look or read for many time ?
Because in reality there is likely minimal or no difference.
These are clearly using the same panel, it seems very unlikely that ASUS of all manufacturers convinced LG to give them a special coating that not even NEC gets on high end monitors or Dell gets on low end monitors.
If there is an actual difference, it is most likely just a batch difference.
Also note that the visibility of AG coating is highly dependent on background color, so it also follows that it will be highly dependent on calibration.
Calibrate these screens precisely and identically and have someone else arrange the screens with some kind of cover so you don't know which is which, and it is my bet that it would be impossible to tell the difference.
Then get the Samsung 2333T. Obviously LG IPS panels are not right for you.senna89 said:i search a restful good quality monitor, for reading and with clean whites without any form of grainy at least as the TN coating.

If im not a avid gamer but I want a nice upgrade from my ViewSonic VX2025wm, would this be worth the cost vs a Dell? I Like I can do Bill me Later on Newegg is why. I honestly don't care about input lag or the color acuraccy like alot of die hard LCD users demand or that the blacks arn't perfect. I won't be watching Blue Ray's on this, mostly video editing with movie maker, web surfing, multitasking and light game like Starcraft 2, Risk, Team Fortress and BF1942 widescreen hacked. I just want a nice 24" LCD step up from my 20" Viewsonic and I find that it be very nice all around for my needs, I just want more real estate.
And no, I don't give a crap about multi monitor/eyefinity use, one monitor is fine for my needs.
