You can, but I would just do an eye scan with the programs you usually use. If you need a program to find it then leave it be imo. Here is a program that helps you locate and attempt to fix. http://udpix.free.fr/

My dead pixel looks like a white spot on blue backgrounds

I really like this Hannspree HF289H, but the first one had one dead pixel. I tried the various fix methods but no luck. Today I went to BB and picked up a second...it has 2 dead pixels. :mad: How many is acceptable? One? Two? Zero?

Yeah, its 1920X1200 which works much better for my eyes than the 30". Games are great on a 30", but Outlook at 2560 makes my eyes bleed. This Hannspree is a nice compromise.

Ok, I bought one of the last 281's off the floor at BB and liked it very much. Main complaints were poor representation of dark greys/blacks and some un-uniform back light (edges). I ordered the newer Hannspree HF289H from BB on-line and I have to tell you, MAJOR improvement in both area's...

isee, what are your monitor and graphic card settings for Brightness/Contrast/Gamma settings?

One day more with this thing and I am really starting to believe this is the perfect size for people who want a monitor for 50% MS Office work / 50% gaming. The 1920 resolution + size is GREAT! I'm a bit concerned for its handling of the darks, and for those 3 light spots in the left, right...

Not great angles. Good for straight on gaming and work.

Isnt that test more of a set-up guide? I thought it was to help you set contrast/brightness/gama. I'm able to set mine up to see the squares by adjusting contrast. Have you seen any spec differences? and where did you see the 289? I can't find it anywhere on the net.

More tests reveal some bright spots on left center edge, top center edge, and left center edge on a black screen. Not a guru so not sure how to judge how bad it is.

I decided to go to BB and check this 28" out. I was very skeptical that this monitor would fill the gap between my current Dell 24" and my friends 3007 which is beautiful, but I find it difficult to read text on the 30" at the 2560 resolution. Text at lower res on a 30" looks like crap and using...

Wow! 30hz? I keep hoping something else will come along, but it just keeps looking like the ole 3007 remains the best choice for straight PC gaming.

Another question....would I still get the input lag from the 3008 if Im using it in 2560X1600? Is the scaler always on?

Seriously? That seems like a recipe for harming the eyes after time.

I just did the "accesability wizard" and increased the fonts like a blind old man :-P
