Indeed.

Related to the pictures from my post on the previous page (and I hate to repeat myself again) some of them are looking just stunning on my NEC and they are definitely stretching the muscles of this monitor to some extent, showing up the monitor capabilities in full glory. There is a great sense of picture "depth", and wide colour gamut & contrast is greatly present on some pictures. At some point, you really feel that the figures from the first couple of pictures will jump off the screen any moment. Just great ;)

Any backlight bleed which is not visible on the immediate inspection of the monitor (and you have to look carefully to find it, especially in high brightness setting) it's definitely marginal and it should fade away after the proper monitor burn in. After few days (or week) you will have the perfect panel uniformity. Happened to many users.

Anyhow, congratulations on your new screen ;)
 
Yep I know about the 3-5 day burn-in time required for bleed to soften off, but being its almost none existent now I have nothing to worry about :)

Had my's since Friday still got some bleed in the bottom left :(

Shows though in games like FEAR. and Doom 3

should i still give it moor time? i only use it at night after work for about

3-4 hours at a time
 
Complete computer ordering n00b here in need of some reassurance.
I Just ordered one, this is my first big purchase online and I think I'm having a panic attack going over and over in my head whether this was the right choice. :eek:
I had to order today so I couldn't wait and see what NEC have to say about the backlight thing.

If I do have problems with the backlight or anything else what's the process like to get it sorted? I know arse all about these things and I'm a bit worried about it. I know people who've had to send components back over and over again and I want to know I'm not going to be in that situation.

I've had mine for about two weeks now. I can assure you that any backlight bleed you have will fade within the first week. I haven't go any now.
 
These healing NECs are interesting. Are there at least some theories that attempt to explain the initial bleeding and the subsequent healing? Also are there any people with a NEC that did not heal and how much time did you wait? I guess a poll would be interesting or maybe not.
 
had mine 2 weeks, was really bad bleed all over, now i only get bleed after 1 hour of gaming. read on another forum about cooling the monitor in someway helped! :rolleyes:
 
Hi there

NEC have taken all our stock away and replaced it now just to be on the safe side. Will be interesting to see if anything changes because from the couple we've had out from our old stock there has not been any issues. However thumbs up to NEC from OcUK as they happily changed all our stock over for us at their own cost. :)

Thumbs up indeed, great customer service, and if it continues they have also secured my next monitor purchase provided they make a monster of a 24" for gamers that approaches their 20.1" in quality. :)

Yes stock has been exchanged. 4 pallits taken away and 4 new pallits dropped off. Though like I say don't think it was a batch thing just part of the technology as those that do have bleed it seems to cure with use except for a few very unlucky people but thankfully NEC warranty is good and you've got OcUK as backup too. :)
 
Hiya folks....

Well its week 3 of the LCD 20WGX² drama and still no word from NEC. I have fired off an email to seek an update on the situation.

Was wondering has anyone else here got any feedback from NEC and whats to happen to the faulty monitors.?

H

Yet again NEC excel with a prompt response.

unfortunately we are still waiting for an update from the manufacturing company in Japan.
I have tried chasing this but to date have not had a reply. I will be in contact as soon as I have confirmation on how we will be proceeding.
Kind regards,

Sarah.

Good news indeed. NEC wouldn't replace the OCuk stock with faulty monitors would they?

I'm looking forward to my NEC swap-out any day now!!!

Lets see just how good NEC's customer service is to the small guy?

Incidentally NEC Customer service still doesn’t have an update on the situation.


Left and right hand syndrome?

Mine arrived yesterday and has no dead pixels. There is some slight bleed in the top left had corner and bottom right but I'm going to use it over Easter to see if it goes away as others have reported. Otherwise I'm very happy indeed - its an excellent monitor.
