So I went up to Microcenter and got a great deal on computer components yesterday, so I thought I'd take a stab at the VE247 on sale there.
The ghosting is horrible and unacceptable, especially for a 2ms panel... which is why I went with a 2ms panel in the first place, to not have ghosting. I am coming from a Dell 2001FP which I love and has lasted 8 years. However, it isn't vibrant and lacks 1080p, of course. It has a 16ms so I thought going to a 2ms with ghosting would be nothing compared to mine. It is worse on the Asus, because the Asus has a bright white ghosting, instead of black.
The color is saturated... way too saturated for me. No matter how I calibrate it, there is always an unnacceptable amount of saturation. Was playing skyrim and it was everywhere. Perhaps because of the saturation, I couldn't really get much depth of field with contrast. It became tolerable after I spent an hour playing with the settings, but was still noticeable while playing.
It is a vibrant monitor, but vibrant, imho, in all the wrong ways. Looking at the flora in Skyrim, purple colors were rich and acceptably saturated, reds were deep but "bleeding" somewhat. Yellows were ugly and inaccurate, no matter what I did to adjust it. Blacks bled everywhere, especially on rocks... and there are a lot of rocks in Skyrim. I turned down the R to ten less than the G and B, and that helped, but not enough to keep this monitor.
Also, no matter what I did, it had too much "white", no not brightness, but white overpowered the other colors, even on the "warm" setting.
So a few questions...
1. Do all Asus monitors currently suffer from ghosting?
2. Is the over-abundance of white compared to color typical of all leds?
3. Do all Asus monitors have an abundance of saturation or emphasis on "reds"?
I appreciate any and all assistance, whether you answer one or all three questions.
I still have the monitor. But I plan on returning it after I build the computer (in case something else is broken or doesn't work right). If you have some advice for tuning this Asus, please let me know.
I'm looking at the Asus PA248Q right now: http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/asus-pa248q/4505-3174_7-35404261.html but this Asus monitor I have right now is really putting a bad taste in my mouth for anything Asus.
I am now open to paying more than $200 or $300 for a monitor with decently accurate colors and a prompt ms. Any suggestions? Looking for 23" or 24" monitor in 1080p.
