I have a Benq FP93GX, I've had the monitor a month or so and just noticed some strange things.

When scrolling on ARFCOM quickly I see flashes of Magenta, only on ARFCOM. I think it has to do with the light background. I've also noticed when scrolling smoothly I can see text ghosting. This thing has a 2ms response time and find this to be inexcusable, correct me if I'm wrong.

I understand the fallacies with the reponse time but I still should not have text ghosting.

Now this is where it gets strange and indicates a problem. When I turn AMA off which is basically lowering the voltage so the pixels respond slower, both problems above either cease to exist (magenta issue) or are almost unobservable but I notice more blurring in games, where I don't notice any abberations in games while AMA is on.

Sounds like an AMA problem. Any help or insight?

is your Hz set to 60?

LCD's don't have a refresh rate.


See if you can still return / exchange

you are correct, however in windows you can still set the refresh rate. For LCD's it should be 60. If you have it at too high of a rate(70, 72, 75) it will behave like he is describing.

I thought it was higher but it seems it is 60,

Does it sound like an actual problem and not just something inherent with LCDs?

It was easy to misinterpret your post gaspain.

Elad, I'd try a few things before, Check your video card drivers, Try another browser, as gaspain said set your refresh rate to 60Hz, Test the monitor on a different PC.

If it still happens. I'd go for an exchange.

Fuggin' weird!

Changed display drivers, after browser change yielded no difference and now I still have ghosting while AMA is on but things are tinted cyan while scrolling instead of magenta....



It's not like the whole screen turns the color just a tint shows up.

I tested my g/f's crap Dell monitor and it doesn't ghost on text this bad... hers is like a blurring black... this is like a true ghost, whitish halo of the test trailing behind when scrolling smoothly.

ETA: If you scroll just right and read fast... you can read the text

ETA2: Still cyan.... browsing the Archives I have no problem, well I'm heading to bed. I'll check it on a friends computer tomorrow.

Thanks
