Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
i don't agree at all w/ the color accuracy comment. i just calibrated both my my ea231wmi and 2005fpw.. the 2005fpw ended up with average dE of 0.14 which was better than the nec's 0.17.. pretty damn good when a 5 year old monitor beats a brand new one.
i'm betting it's the video itself..now your monitor is just good enough that you can see the gradation in dark tones. i certainly noticed this with a lot of my compressed movies >.<
it looks cool but those portrait monitors give me mass eye strain since ClearType won't work right in portrait mode >.< has the fuzzyness of ClearType text in portrait mode been something you've noticed?
it is not possible to evaluate 16:9 vs 16:10 and objectively conclude one is better than another. every argument here has been some permutation of a comparison of the basic differences of each format..
16:10
good: it's taller
bad: it's not as wide
16:9
good: it's wider
bad: it's not as tall...
the color shift is only visible on test patterns so subjectively speaking you may like the ea231wmi just as much or more than the wuxi, given the wmi's higher contrast. out of the box calibration is awesome, too.
another thing to keep in mind is the HP and Dell are both wide gamut, so the colors will be absolutely wrong for any non color managed app (which is 99.9% of what's out there). it will work in photoshop, and you can jump through hoops to get web pages to show up right (firefox color management...
icc profiles include a 3d LUT. this provides the info necessary for both gamma correction and gamut transform. graphics cards only have a 1d LUT though, so you can fix gamma curves that way (ie system wide)..but not gamut. that's what color managed apps have over non-color managed.
still, the...
i'm really interested in knowing what happened here. if the video card drivers really applied a desaturation to the whole screen it may have done so with a pixel shader. that would be insanely awesome bc thats what my friend and i are working on right now--applying a shader to the full screen...
