for the new "i" model using the same genesis scalar chip as used on the dell that actually scores 34ms (4ms is nothing at all) but the problem is down to the scalar chip, so what's the real story, anyone else got a new Hazro?
How many times must I say this, the scaler chip is only part of the story on the Dell. The Samsung panel also shares a lot of the blame as Overdrive circuitry adds lag as well. Badass over at TFTCentral clocked the dell at
64ms,
not 34 as you keep stating (I think you may be talking about the 2407, which is discontinued, instead of the current 2408 which is the one people are complaining about lag wise), have a look at his chart:
Philjohn do you work for Hazro? All of your posts pormote Hazro over every other manufacturer and consistently in all your various posts - you slate the Dell (and even the new HP, half heartedly that actually uses the same S-IPS panel as the Hazro!)
No I don't, and to be honest I find your insinuation that I'm nothing more than a shill objectionable. I slate the Dell because I had the 2408 less than a week before sending it back due to all the problems I experienced:
- Pink hue on left of screen that no amount of calibration would fix
- Right hand side of the screen was noticably darker than the rest
- Horrendous input lag (to the point where moving the mouse, or windows around, on the desktop it was noticeable)
- With the brightness down to a comfortable level the overdrive added green flashes on moving items
Let's also not forget the problem of it being wide-gamut on a, let's be honest here, non-pro screen that's caused problems for people buying it who don't have access to a calibration device. Now, if my problems were isolated I'd say I just got a bad panel and would have given Dell another chance, but other people reported these exact issues, and let's not forget all the issues with the 3008 as well. This points to a serious problem in the Dell panel division that needs sorting before I'd touch them again with a bargepole.
As for the HP, all I said was it was ugly and had a new panel that is an unkown quantity. Please check your facts, there is no way that the HP uses the same panel as the Hazro as it's wide gamut. This points to it using a new part from LG.Display, the WU4, which is their only wide-gamut panel in a 24" form-factor. I don't know of anyone else using this monitor, and so until it comes out it's an unknown quanity. Compare this to the WU2 which, before being used in the Hazro, was used in the 24" i-mac and (with a different polarizer) the highly acclaimed NEC 24" IPS monitor only available in the states.
The reason I've promoted the Hazro, even with the DMPS issue (the only issue I, and most other people, suffer from) is that when I reported the problem, they sent an engineer out with a replacement logic board, and if that didn't fix the problem, a replacement monitor. I think you'll agree service like that tends to give you a good impression of a company very much wanting to produce a good product.
We have always used Dell which have their fair share of minor issues, but yet you read the posts and Hazro have far more problems - in addition the warranty is only 1 year on-site the balance is RTB - Unlike dell which has a 4 year on-site NEXT DAY replacement. Reading these posts the majority of existing Hazro customers are still waiting for replacements for various issues
The reason we're waiting is because, rather than just do a half-assed firmware upgrade, Hazro decided to reward us early adopters with a substantially upgraded monitor. This took a bit of time to action, and now people are getting their replacements.
Let's not forget the Dell panel lottery that they kept pulling, which was downright dishonest in my opinion.
What is the background of Hazro? Are they made in UK? I haven't seen any out here yet (China). Do you know if they are sold out here (maybe under a different name)?
The individual components are made in the far east, however, the final assembly all takes place in the UK.
, but it's because the thing is that good (even with the faults).
