Hazro - Any Update?

*Chris said:
I'm having doubts about buying one due to the well known issues, can anyone make me feel any better?

Will there definitely be a firmware fix that is do-able by all the owners which will fix these issues + when will it be out?

Seems ridiculous that they didn't notice the issues themselves.

Also, what will I need to calibrate it properly? I will be going straight from a CRT and have no experience at all with TFT screens.

Thanks

Well they're pretty pro-active folks and the reason why HDMI/HDCP etc were included in the revised model was because of the feedback they got from the early buyers. The revised model fixed all issues found in the first model so this is a good thing, now we have been told we can update the firmware to fix the 2 new issues found so no need to send it back etc so let's wait and see.

Would you rather Dell or BenQ ?!

I have Horrifying news folks :(

I installed Vista64bit today and found ColorEyes does not work in it due to the unsigned communications driver it uses so I installed Lacie BlueEyePro and did a re-calibration using that. Results are better than in Vista32 so maybe 32bit Vista was causing some calibration issues ?

Anyway the results were:



Blackpoint Luminance was 0.62

You quote 0.62 I take it that is cd/m2 ?

Im asking because the lowest I can get my black level to is 1.4cd/m2 .
 
I have been in the market for a top notch 24" for some time now and was hoping the Hazro would be the answer, but I'm not convinced from all the probs ppl are having. It would take something really awesome to match my current NEC 20". Every 24" I've found on the market so far looks to be a downgrade from what I've got (overall quality-wise). This NEC has spoilt me, lol.

Also not impressed with Hazro warranty, if I'm reading it right. 2nd/3rd yr back to base?...no thanks. I like peace of mind that 3-4yr no fuss on-site gives you.

Hmm, the hunt for a 24" continues....:(
 
Good for you then, you won't be owning ANY 24" TFT in that case because the competing 24" range has more issues which currently don't have fixes in the works or in case of the NEC 24", not sold in the UK.

Well, i would rather wait than dish out hard earned cash on a product that has issues.

Try adjusting the RGB from 95 to 85 for each!

I calibrated it last night using the ambient light compensation option for use in a darkened room. The software checks the ambient light and recomends a temperature and luminance level ( 125cd/m2 in this case ) so the RGB settings are already adjusted down to between 50 - 60.

backlight isn't dimmed I suspect.

Is there any way to test for this ?
I notice on a completely black screen if the brightness is set to 100 then down turned you can see it getting dimmer till it reaches 50 then does nothing between 50 and 0
