I've also never had one of those video's that are meant to fix them do anything. I have however had some luck applying slight pressure and rubbing around the stuck pixel with a clean microfibre cloth while it is stuck. I've also had some that nothing I did had any effect on. They are the main reason I hate buying anything with a screen, I seem to be incredibly unlucky when it comes to stuck pixels. Edited by Spectral at 17:14:50 09-07-2017 |

Registered 13 years agoSo I've noticed a banding of light right down the middle, particularly when playing gameslike Skyrim with greyish colours. I had this on my old monitor as well, thinking of sending it back but don't know if this is an issue you get with all TN monitors, once its seen you cant unsee it. -
@INSOMANiAC I've had three of these and all had various problems. (dead pixels,dirt behind screen ) The ASUS equivalent also seems to have quality issues. I don't think any sort of banding is acceptable on a premium priced monitor like this one. I'd personally keep sending them back until I got one I was 100% happy with. I've given up after 3 attempts. -

Registered 13 years ago@Blackmarsh63 aye, it's not that bad but at the end of the day it's right in the middle and I keep noticing it so it's going to have to go back. Shame as everything else is fine, I'm not looking forward to possible dead pixels etc. Wondering whether to change it for the LCD model rather than TN -
I think i'd try another TN screen . Sounds like you got a pretty bad one. The G-Sync seems to have issues as well as the banding problem. Have you considered a Dell model. They seem to get better reviews from a quality point of view. I noticed a lot of horror stories regarding Asus and Aser when I was looking for a monitor. -

Registered 20 years agoYeah, I wouldn't call a TN monitor premium in any sense of the word, but maybe that's just me.
Mind you, an old expensive S-PVA monitor I bought has terrible backlight consistency, with a dark patch center left and a bright patch center right. I can only really see it if I look at the screen showing maybe just a prompt (so mostly black) with dark adjusted eyes and the lights off though, but it was quite eye opening when I first came into the room with the lights off but the screen mostly blank. -
Does it protect from spam though?
