After laboring over this decision for months, I finally took the plunge and bought the above mentioned monitor, my first LCD.
After awhile I started noticing that the top of the screen was a bit darker then the bottom. I verified this in photoshop by opening the same image twice and placing one on the top of the screen and the other on the bottom and the bottom image was a stark difference. Was much brighter and washed out.
Tested it in a couple games I played as well and there too verified the difference.
It's not as noticeable in regular surfing, but very much so in gaming and photoshop.
I played with the tilt, settings, and read numerous articles about bleeding to no avail.
I ran a few bleed tests and it doesn't seem to have a bleed problem at all. It just seems to be dimmer across the top in the above mentioned applications.
Very disappointing and frustrating. I guess I'll have to exchange it, which i HATE to do with a PASSION.
