OCUK website - Test your monitor

Just got a Benq FP241W...amazing piece of kit.

Just been on the ocuk website and noticed the yellow highlight when you move the cursor over products! Never saw that before on my samsung TN panels (SM 225BW) even after using a monitor calibrator!

Anyone else notice this on their TNs or can most other people not see it either?

Do you mean when you move the cursor over the hyperlinks? They've always been red on my monitors IIRC. Hyperlinks in these forums turn yellow.

Seems fine on my monitor, i do get the tiny red bar flashing from left to right under some links but that happens on a few sites, not just ocuk.

No 'NOT' red in the hyperlinks but the actual white box round each component turns yellow eg. when you click on motherboards and then move the cursor over each product in the list...

Yellow it is

Only thing is I cannot remember if my 'old' Sammy 205bw showed 'em yellow or not - getting old !!

I does so on my OcUK Value L2442WD, my previous TN's (had e few :rolleyes:

) and my old CRT samsung 959NF.

You should see this highlight regardless of screen

You mean like this?

It appears on my old crt just not my two samsungs 910n and sm 225bw.

If I move the image felix posted to my samsung 225bw I cant see the yellow highlight :confused:

i must admit, i can barely see it on my viewsonic 22in el cheapo TN screen at default settings.....

however, if i turn down the contrast i can see it fine.

It has been like that since the new website was launched hasn't it ... ?

My old dell shows it just fine!
