It's always on.

I was going to post last time saying I could already feel your rage if after a month of waiting, your Eizo had dead pixels or backlight bleed, but I decided not to as I didn't want to jinx you :p I wish I could afford an Eizo, looking forward to seeing your impressions/photos.

They're ratio standards used in movies:

Does it looks like some sort of stain on the screen? Like someone spilt a drink on the monitor? If so, I had the same problem with my iMac G5 from 2004 (from what I can tell it uses some sort of S-IPS panel) where it'd show up, but only on certain colours. The strange thing is, it's gone now...

There's also going to be a Samsung 24" 1920x1200 PLS as well: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/lcdpanel/product/monitor.html

Probably a little bit, but monitors like the U2311H or 2209WA use overdrive and have low input lag (9-10ms), so it doesn't necessarily mean the Samsungs will have poor input lag.

There's also going to be a 24" 1920x1200 PLS as well: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/lcdpanel/product/monitor.html It looks like 12ms is the standard response rate with 5ms being the overdrive figure.

Apparently PLS panels are 15% cheaper to produce than IPS so hopefully the SA850 will be cheaper than the U2711.

If you can, you might want to wait for the Samsung SA850 which, from what I can tell, is a 27" 2560 x 1440 PLS screen (wider viewing angles than IPS apparently), 100% sRGB (10 bit), 5ms GTG, LED backlit (50W), four USB 3.0 ports and also has an eco light & motion sensor...

Yes. Dell's replacement system/policy is one of the best, but a lot of people dislike their outsourced technical support to India or where ever.

The service menu will show you how long the monitor has been on for. To activate it, turn off the monitor, hold down the 2nd and 4th button from top and press the power button. Once you see the all the LEDs light up, press the top button. You should see a blue factory menu and in it should be...

Ideally, you'd want an IPS panel so that the image will still look good even in portrait, which it won't be on TN. If you want Viewsonic there's the VP2365wb, however it's probably out of your budget. For an IPS screen that's closer to your budget, try the Dell U2211H or HP ZR22w...

I've had a CRT monitor that could do 2048x1536 over VGA. Even my current monitor, the Dell U2311H, can do 1920x1080 over VGA.

If you can wait, then wait as I doubt the U2311H is going anywhere fast, unless of course you there's currently a sale on somewhere that you don't want to miss. There's a host of new IPS monitors coming out from LG like the E2370V or the IPS2xxx range (notably the IPS231P) and a few from...
