Hyundai W241D-PVA

so far so good, pretty sure the item is second hand once again as the hdmi cable is missing and the box once again extreemly damaged, however all the plastic film was still on the screen so maybe someone ordered, opened but then sent back or something i don't know.

anyway checked on games and watched a dvd and seems fine, tinyest bit of ghosting on these forums but it is so minimal and only happens at great speeds, thats from cold btw, haven't tested when its hot, which is gets.

no dead pixels, blacklight bleed is minimal in bottom left corner though imo this is actually just the viewing angle as it's so large, when i view from left side direct in front of me there is no blacklight but tiny on bottom right.

Will post back if anything else happens

It doesn't come with an HDMI cable, does it? Mine didn't...

Glad to hear this one is ok (for now). I was lucky and got a great one first time.
 
I went with a BenQ fp241w in the end. Aria have a special deal on atm for £410 so i snapped it up. Would have gone for this monitor after the first 6 pages of this thread....but after the probs some people were getting, i decided to go with the BenQ....my friend has one and there is no ghosting at all in Crysis at full resolution and High settings ;)

yeah hey did with both the 241ds so i can't see why not with this one. ocuk have advised me to contact rma now, hope they don't ask for the monitor back again as this one seems to be working fine so far.

spent a while earlier adding/removing shelfs on my desk and added the older 20" onto a cheap desk mount, have to say the desk looks fantastic with both monitors, can't wait to get an external tv tuner that will do this screen justice (which sofar seems impossible) so i can get rid of my tv.

just to make sure, has anyone tried connecting there wii to this using composite cable (not component) in the compononet slot? i have with all 3 and have always got black and white and knid of crap quality, just want to make sure this is normal and not just say my wii or anything.

[edit]

:( just found my first dead pixel i have ever had. It's just below being in the center of this screen stuck on a dark grey, i would say black but when on a black background it can be seen as dim white. although very tiny it's blooming annoying me, screen has been perfect so far. what can i do to try and remove it?

[edit again]

when i turn the monitor on just before it finds the input from the pc i assume the screen is lite only by backlight and not all pixels being black? if im right would i then not be able to see the pixel? it's just i still can and it makes it looks like a pixel is missing showing the back. if im not being really silly and am right is there anything to try and fix this?

Well im getting really frustrated with hyundai Tech support and im running out of patience with them.

If you have been reading this thread from the start you will know that a brand new 241D PVA i own developed a buzzing sound , After 4 Weeks with Hyundai they returned the monitor back to me unfixed saying they couldnt find a fault, I recorded the noise and sent it to them and all they keep doing is either saying its normal, which its not, or they keep saying they will get back to me and never do. Its been going on for nearly 2 months now :mad:

Im going to call them back again tomorrow, but i feel they will fob me off again some how, all i want is for them to either repair it or send me a replacement, surely im not asking for too much
 
Quick update

With some intervention by OcUK, im finally sorted now and have a new one here and its working fine.

Thank god for that, just hope i never have to speak to Hyundai Tech Support again Ever

:)
 
It's all gone quiet over here.....

So does that mean everyone is happy with the Hyundai monitors? Both the W241 and the 240. Any issues to report please?
 
I've had a 240 PVA for a little over two weeks and it's been perfect. I've even got used to the buttons/controls. If you want to switch the panel off, rather than trying to hit the right one, just swipe your finger over the set of buttons.

Very happy and impressed.
 
i'm happy too but the buttons really are a stupid idea. as the screen gets really bright you cannot see below the panel of the tft so it's impossible to tell exactly where each button is, you have to guess from past experience. This is extremely annoying as i use both the dvi and hdmi many times each day and switching can be annoying when you don't know where the button is and if you push the wrong one you then have to wait until you cvan switch input
 
I must be spoilt by Dell's sexy looks and IPS panel on my 2007WFP A04 because I bought this screen today from a local shop for £399 and was amazed by the build quality and box size (you'd think it was a PC in the box!) but was not so amazed by the shadow detail in movies or the text sharpness and I could not find any way to adjust sharpness or colour mode in the OSD either!

I also didn't like the ultra big bezels in person, on the website and in pics it looks fine but in person next to the Dell it just looks like an adopted ugly fat sister :(

Everything else was super from 1:1 to 1080p movie playback.

Such a shame as I wanted a nice 24" with VA panel and no viewing angle issues only let down by a few design/panel flaws in certain areas!

I returned it and got my money back and will buy a Dell 24" once it's been confirmed by more than a few peeps that ghosting has been fixed!
 
The problem is i can't find any shops around me where I can see it in action. It seems VA or IPS monitors don't get a look-in by the major pc stores.

Just ordered one, should be here this saturday:D

19" to 24" big difference yes or no in games, will my jaw drop :)

went from 20" wide screen to 24" and my draw dropped a few times, unfortunately it was re shut by the problems i had, definitely worth getting as i found 20" was nice and big but not big enough to have 2 things at same time, but 24" is allowing multiple windows to be open next to each other and have plenty of room
 
Just got a W240D PVA. One stuck pixel, but hardly noticeable really. No noticeable backlight bleed. Big. Nice viewing angles compared to TN.

More serious issues:
- The touch buttons don't like my fingers much (neither does the iPod touch wheel thing, so it's probably just me). Would have preferred normal buttons.
- Turned it on this morning and saw blue flickering lines and LOTS of blue flickering pixels all over the screen. Just sitting at the Windows desktop, black background, absolutely no motion going on at all. Possibly faulty. Great! I've also read on here that Hyundai don't send a replacement out and collect the faulty one at the same time. That's not too impressive. I guess maybe I have just been spoiled by other manufacturers who do operate like this. The issue went away just by turning the monitor on and off again, so it's obviously some kind of intermittent issue...
- Trouble finding a UK customer service contact. I've e-mailed the US one and asked them for forward it on, and they have done so. Could just be me being a bit dense.
- Inverse ghosting! I was seeing it virtually everywhere until I did a factory reset. It's now better, but still shows up rather badly on that image test. It creates a coloured 'shadow' of sorts around the boxes as they're moving, and seems to take about a second to catch up and go away!! Not overly impressed with that effect to be honest.
- Videos and 'lower FPS' (but still > 30fps) stuff looks...... strange. It's kind of like *mega* choppy motion, and it seems to have a flashing white flickering effect to go with it. It looks awful. Not because of low resolution being stretched blockyness kind of awful either. If I enable deinterlacing and use double framerate in ffdshow, then it looks smooth again, but I obviously can't do this for games or anything. I'm not sure if that's just because it's a big screen. It's VERY annoying though. Video is now unwatchable unless I enable that double framerate option.
- The RTC option in the menu seems to do NOTHING at all. This is to turn on/off the overdrive right? Inverse ghosting is still there when I set it to off, and seems just as bad...

It's official. I actually have *no* luck at all :(

If I hear back from Hyundai and they issue an RMA, I may return it to the online store for a refund if I can, and get something else to be honest. Possibly spend the extra little bit for the Hazro. I assume that definitely won't have any nasty inverse ghosting issues being an S-IPS (they don't have this overdrive "technology", right?). Otherwise I will probably risk the LG245WP or BenQ PVA whatever-model-it-is.... and just hope they aren't as bad.

I do enjoy the size of it though. Quite big when going from a 19" non-widescreen.

Rant over :(
