Jihad make more pics

Reektan · 8 Aug 2008 at 22:28

Right - took a load of photos of it. Basically this entire thread really helped me out in choosing this and the links of photos were really handy for me to part with my cash so if it'll help anybody else make the jump for one of these fantastic panels then here goes ! :

Just as a reference this is the monitor I had before, 20.1" Dell 2007 FP :

And here's the replacement :

load more shots :

done!

Nice!

Which phone are you using, the quality is brilliant

The red menu on mine reports that it's a V0 but the label on the panel (viewed through the grill by the DVI port) says it's V3. I can't find V3 anywhere on this thread, should I be concerned?

I am me · 9 Aug 2008 at 12:22

A couple of weeks ago I received two TNs (one replacing the other) from the other company being talked about. The day after I received a refund they changed the spec.

I have been monitoring the situation in this thread for a long time. When the price comes down again I will buy one (I am patient).

Colour is my main concern so I will cross my fingers for a V4(looking at the lists previously posted).

The TNs were both LG-LM240WU3-TLA1 if you are interested.

Awesome pics Reektun! Should really help people who were slightly hesitant at dropping the cash on this (like me) - the before and after shots showing the Dell for reference was clever as panel sizes just dont come across in digital photographs. Good work!

Hey all/OCUK!

Can we get some confirmation from the Dons that the initial teething problems that plagued this monitor seeemed to have subsided? Seriously considering getting one of these again since I RMA'd my last one about 5 months ago.

Nice shots above btw

I don't know what happened but my digimate 24" cannot display at 1920 x 1200 or 1600 x 1200 (anything X by 1200 it seems). This came on randomly today as I was adjusting the colour settings on the OSD, I messed up the colours so I went to 'reset' on the OSD and as soon as I did that it messed up. The picture is there but it seems wrapped around and is all shaking (see the video below). I have tried resetting any everything, can't figure out what's causing it as I can display a picture fine at other resolutions but as soon as I hit something like 1920x1200 it's gone. Is this a hardware fault?

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC-rnaIY9Fo

Edit, seems to only be DVI as the VGA port handles 1920 x 1200 fine but I need that for somethign else so I want DVI working.

I RMA'd it on Thursday and they are replacing it which is good, glad it wasn't just me going crazy and the thing was actually faulty. After digging through the earlier pages of this thread I found at least 2 other instances of people with the same problem. I am finding it quite hard on this 17" 4:3 VideoSeven TFT I got from OcUK in 2005 and it has a very bad case of image persistance.
