Just wanna ask, has anyone used a OLED TV as a monitor before?

How was the experience like?

Thanks.

OLED TV (marketed) ... there is only 1 so far, the 576p, 11 inch by Sony (super expensive/super small).. perhaps you mean LCD with LED backlight..

Added on December 7, 2009, 2:03 pmMore pixels... very fine dot-pitch/small text. (for 15 inch/16inch). Refresh-rate will be 60Hz rate, not really much an option/point for faster on a notebook/laptop

Added on December 7, 2009, 2:08 pmBright? as in stuck on?... Defective is either dead pixel or stuck pixel (or sub-pixel). Technically all functioning pixels are bright pixels...

Perhaps 5 defective pixels/sub-pixels is a more accurate term/condition in the warranty/claim...

i just bought aoc 2434pw...
but no sound why har?

check your audio setting..

There is some stuck pixel thread here some where, look for it and there will be solution inside. I faced the same problem as you, seems like the pixel display green instead of black. I pressed it slightly with my finger and its gone. LOL!

problem solved..thanks

try ask them. when the first time i got my h233h at lowyat i saw green dot too. second day i quickly ask them to change new and they did change a new 1 for me. try ask them before too late.
p/s: i don really like that shop, the 1st h233h they give me was not new sealed one, the package was opened and the screen is so dirty but they say its a new 1 (i sure the lcd is used 1! ) then when i go change for 2nd one and test at thier place, the second 1 also got another red dot at top corner, finally the technician go in store, take 1 fully sealed new h233h for me, yeah, that was new 1, the screen so clean everthing is so new, u can even see with ur eyes. so disappointed why do they sell opened/used product to customer. so suggest u guys when buy, please check properly before pay if not very ma fan.

Care to share the shop name?

my 8 days AOC 2434pw monitor got 1 dead pixel. red color when bright. green color when dark.

My quick take of the new Viewsonic VX2433WM 24" monitor.

I have been looking to upgrade to a FullHD 24", and without too much research, I bought the ViewSonic monitor above. When testing the monitor at the store before buying (with nVidia GPU using HDMI connection), I already noticed that the colors are washed out, too bright I say. Apart from that there are no other visible problems, even after playing some 1080p test videos, so I bought it anyway.

At home, I unpacked the monitor and connected it to a Geforce GT220 via HDMI connection, and with the washed out colors I seen during the store testing, I also have overscan problems that I didn't experience during testing. Apparently, this monitor has two modes of HDMI connection; HDMI PC and HDMI AV (default). Changing the connection type to HDMI PC solves the overscan problem.

Then I moved to solve the washed out color problems, and this is where I spent much of my time in trial-and-error mode. First, I tried to adjust the brightness and contrast settings but to no avail. I also tried to adjust the RGB colors and the result is the same. Stumped, I left the monitor alone as I get some afternoon nap.

After I wake up, I checked my RSS feed and found out that Psyren 95 has come out. I downloaded it and then fired up FastStone Image Viewer to read it. It was here I found out what caused the washed out color problem, and that is, unlike the majority of the computer monitors out there, the new LCD is currently calibrated with TV levels (16-235) instead of the usual PC levels (0-255). To confirm my findings, I played some videos that has some true blacks in it and they come out grey.

As I have no idea how to change the levels, I popped in the included CD and started to read the manual (no printed manual for you here). In one of the pages, the manual says that you can change the 'Display Mode' between RGB and YUV, and the manual says YUV is the HD mode. I changed the setting to YUV, but there are to visible improvements seen in the LCD levels.

I then remembers that nVidia drivers defaulted at passing RGB color format to the monitor if the HDMI connection is used, so I opened the nVidia Control Panel and changed the digital color format from RGB to YCbCr 444 and voila, I now have correct black/white levels! Blacks are not grey anymore and white are not washed out.

The only thing left to do is to fix the gamma curve which is too high, causing the colors to be less vivid compared to my older Samsung 226bw. That was taken care of with Windows 7 calibration utility, but I need to borrow a hardware calibration soon to generate a profile.

After all that, this monitor is quite good actually, after all the headaches fixing the out-of-the-box settings and normalized the gamma curve. I think the monitor started to overscan because it detected that I am passing audio via the HDMI cable. I think the calibration level problem would not be there either if I use DVI connection.
