I think my monitor might be dodgy, seem to have this big blue mark near the middle whenever the screen is black.

Is this grounds for a like for like replacement or will i have to DSR it?

Don't want to keep a monitor with a weird blue thing in the middle whenever the screen goes black.

I would have that replaced it's definitely some kind if defect. It would drive me mad..

That's what ive asked. Will i have to send it back first or will they send a replacement and pick it up? Please tell me its the latter Mr Moogleys.

Was there not a Hazro lcd monitor on sale a while back that was the same panel as used in mac displays? Glass screen model iirc, my bro in law has a brand new mac, and i gotta admit, i love the screen that it came with.

My bro's one is the LM270WQ1 panel, which according to the TFT-central review is the one used in the Apple 27" Cinema Display.

The dgm screens are A+ Apple panels I beleive so essential excatly the same as apple use. From memory the Hazro were only A panerls eg apple rejects albeit still very good quality.

Which is why I am even more amazed I got mine at £199 on ocuk open day. I mean how much is an apple screen?

 

[mattf]

Apple screen is 899

Apple screen is 899

Okay it's 1000% more stylish but I look at what's on the screen.

So basically you could have 3 DGM screens for the cost of one Apple screen.

Sod style, I know which I would rather have!

Guys, can anyone tell me if this DGM monitor would work with my old school Radon X950? Only need it for the basics at the moment may sort something out for games later down the line like a HD7870 or something.

I know my card has "Dual integrated dual-link DVI transmitters" if that makes any difference.

Really want this monitor and would be even happier if I don't need to upgrade my card in the process.

Any replies appreciated.

Cheers

I would imagine they will wan't it back first to confirm it's faulty.

£299 today only.... Can't refuse it but it's going to be a world of pain for my wallet, DGM, second 7970 and a water block for it aahh.

Yeah i ended up ordering another one while they're on offer at £299 and it will be delivered tomorrow. Will save myself £20 this way.

I've arranged an RMA for the the faulty one to get a refund and they're collecting that one tomorrow as well.

 

[Pabl0]

I'll order one tonight and use this and a 1080p 24" I have, shouldn't have everything a problem with with my 7970? I'll want to keep the display separate as both, not extended shouldn't have a problem?

 

[Diagro]

WHATTTTTT OMG!

Do i buy one ? or do i buy 2?

Oh my oh my what do i do

 

[Pabl0]

[rounj02]

What's the best way to calibrate this monitor?

This method

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dgm_ips-2701wph.htm

Or using one of these

http://spyder.datacolor.com/display-calibration/

Or are they both doing exactly the same thing so either is fine?

 

[MoRT489]

In the TFT review they calibrated using an X-rite i1 Pro spectrophotometer, and in their review of that gadget they say it is more suitable than a colorimeter (which the Spyder is).

Great, thanks Mort. I'll stick with what ive got then.

Just got mine today. Overall pretty impressed but as with others, the screen sags forward on the stand. No big deal as I will be making use of a vesa stand.

One thing though, mine came with 2 VGA cables and zero DVI cables... is this normal? One I can understand but 2? And also it means I need to buy a new cable to take advantage of the high resolution.
Did I miss some small print somewhere?
