Hazro - Any Update?

i have half been dreading making this post and half glad I am making this post.

i bought a totally new rig last thursday from overclockers and spent £1750. Part of that rig was a hazro 24".

Ive been reading this thread from the beginning and really carefully made the decision to buy a hazro. I am from the (36 years old and perhaps more patient than some?) school of life that says engineering and electronics are not perfect and such is life.

We are constantly pushing the boundaries of tech and as such we cannot expect the latest and greatest tech to always be perfect. i have a friend, who bought 2 ferraris in a row. he dosnt have one now. They were very fast and very annoying and plagued with faults. He spent loads on those cars...and had issues. Paying a lot does not gaurantee you a trouble free ride - it simply means you are paying for a logo or you are paying for tech that has gone into making that product.

Anyhow - i have a hazro 24" and i have, since Friday, been using it in an every day capacity: browsing, rebooting a lot (installing a lot of software and hardware), playing games (Crysis, COD 4 etc).

I have not looked deliberately for problems. I have waited to see if something jumps out at me. dead pixels, banding, green snow...aliens.

So far, i can report I have a beautifully crafted, black screen with no obvious dead pixels, no obvious banding, no lag at all 9that i notice) and no green snow. the colors are amazing and vibrant.

my only complaint perhaps would be a very tiny brigter area towards the bottom left corner but not exactly there. its one of those things that you see....look carefully and cant see....then see....then cant see as it is so slight.

Im very happy withb this and happy to answer questions if folks wish a more measured answer rather than a toys out of the pram response when using software to make the monitor do bad things and then moaning it does bad things. Crysis was nothing short of jaw dropping and i saw not a single artefact, issue or problem.

Anyhow...ask away if you want.

^^ If you spam buttons / movement / shooting in cod4 really quickly, can you notice any lag at all?

That's the one thing that's stopping me from going for it at the mo. :P

+ Did you pay full price?

Thanks
 
Chris,

i will have to test this out a bit (the spamming in cod4).

however, in Crysis, and COd4 normally (and in wondows) there is no lag that i can notice and im a fussy bugger when it comes to lag.

its why i didnt buy the del 2408. they said the new version of it brought input lag down to 35ms and there is an online simulator of input lag. i dialed in 35ms and moving the mouse just in windows was noticably laggy.

if i had to guess the hazro is 15-20. but thats a pie in the sky guess. you dont notice it at all.

Please link to online lag simulator

thanks

edit/ found it. I'm not keen on that, Its impling the lag is much less that what we know the measured value to be.

I guess its more complicated than that due to mouse settings as well. not mention acceleration as well.

Damage Inc - check out the links i posted and still try and tell me this monitor is near perfect. I am not using software to make the monitor do bad things i am doing things this monitor was built for.
 
I notice the banding in games now as well, that I think im certain wasnt there before. Mainly on menu screens, not so much in game, ( too busy playing ) CM Dirt menu`s, Quake 4 in game in some area`s.
Hopefully by the end of the week it`ll be sorted by the firmware update anyway :)
 
Hello , I 'm new here and i follow this thread because i plan to buy a 26Wi.

g5604 , I 've watched carefully on my CRT the images you've provided and they do have banding .Not as much as shown on your last screen shot , but they have. It's especially noticeable when i raise luminosity.

But when i select 16 bits instead of 32 in my display properties i get something very similar to your screen shot.What are your settings ?

I've seen that you use Photoshop, so the best way to test the banding on your monitor is to do a gradient from black to white (using the gradient tool). The result is perfect on my crt.If it s not on your screen so there is indeed a problem.

cheers.

Hi, I bought my HZ24Wi a few weeks ago, and I’m enjoying it.

I’m just having a few issues, and I want to know whether they are the issues everyone gets, or if my panel is just a little more broken than everyone else’s.

I’ve been playing lots of CoD4 and using desktop apps.

The problems I’m getting are:

1) The green sparks. This happens quite a lot and always happens at the bottom left of any explorer window in vista, where it shows the little hard drive picture. It’s also happening quite a lot in CoD4, generally where there is a dark shadow.

2) Horizontal and Vertical banding. I’ve seen people saying they only get vertical banding and there is no problem with the horizontal. I get banding where ever there is a gradient, but one noticeable place in is MS word where I use the black colour scheme and the background is a light grey to black gradient. I’ve compared it to my 4 year old iiyama screen and the banding is far worse on the Hazro. It’s also noticeable in the menus to CoD4.

3) Uneven and very bright backlight. My backlight is brighter in the corners than it is in the centre. If I put a full screen black image on the screen (with black at 0) then I get a grey image in the corners and black in the centre. It only seems to badly affect black, as most other colours are what they should all over the screen.

It seems the green sparks and banding will be fixed by the firmware. Is there any hope for my backlight?

I can provide pictures tonight if anyone wants to see, but I’m at work at the moment, so can’t take any :)

Edit: I have my brightness at about 30 and my contrast at about 45.
