Problem With Samsung Monitor

You could get an LCD display... I got my samsung 20" monitor for $140 and itlooks good.

Don't get an LED monitor. They aren't actually LED backlit-they are side lit, resulting in backlight problems like you described. Go get an LCD monitor from a good brand like LG or Samsung. I guarantee it will look better and not have backlight issues.

IMHO, get a cheap LCD monitor for $160, since they are all the same. Or get this:23" 1920x1080 e-IPS Dell U2311H. The price is $319 at the moment, but I picked mine up for $239 + free shipping + tax with a Dell coupon. I think they give this promotion every couple months, so if you're patient, you can get one cheap or just try and bargain with them. When looking for monitors, you should not care whether it is LED or not - that has nothing to do with the image quality if it is WLED and sometimes it can actually be worse if they use cheap LED lighting. Instead, find out what panel it uses, because that's the most important component of the monitor. If it is a 24" TN panel for example, then you shouldn't be paying more than $180-200 for it. S-IPS panels are very nice, but also very expensive, so e-IPS provides the bang-for-buck middle ground.

Change the mode to standard and disable any fancy features. Then calibrate it with Win 7's built in tool.

Can you try plugging the monitor into the intergrated GPU, if you have a built in GPU? If not, update your drivers to the latest one and use the control panel of the drivers to try and adjust the image.

The motherboard doesn't have a integrated GPU. I have a BFG GEFORCE GTX 260 OC MAXCORE 896MB (Core 216) and installed the latest drivers for it yesterday. Same problem with the old and new drivers. HeyDoYaThang

Check Nvidia's control panel for any adjustments.

Buy a BenQ monitor. One you'd like would be a BenQ G2222HD. I haven't bought Samsung since one of their TV's broke in 30min after trying it out.

Well one of the monitors I listed that had a very good review is the BenQ 24" LCD Monitor With 2ms Response Time (G2420HD) 1920 x 1080. I am trying to find more reviews on it and seeing how often I can find people complaining about it in forums because the review I read for the Samsung PX2370 listed it in the top 5 monitors but the one I have has some major problems. I hear IPS is suppose to be better but more expensive and probably suffers from the same problems as LCD and LED. Going to read up more on that soon.HeyDoYaThang

Get BenQ. After my problems with Samsung I won't touch any of their products.

From what I understald the BenQ 24" G2420HD is not backlit but the G2420HDBL is backlit? So if I buy the G2420HD then I don't have to worry about it bleeding because it is not backlit? I would still have to worry about dead pixels but at least I wouldn't have to worry about bleeding. I've read good things about it and it has a very high score on testfreaks.

I have the same monitor and i'm experiencing some monitor flicker at times. Not always just sometimes. I do not think it's the monitor because it has worked fine with my other computer. I think it's the computer itself (ibuypower pc). The monitor seems fine i have not had problems with it. Maybe you got a bad monitor?

What I don't understand is why my LG LCD 32LF11 Full 1080p HD would have a better viewing angle then my Samsung PX2370 Monitor? If I move my eyes down just one inch the colors in an image chance completely and get darker. I don't get the same effect when watching television. I can move around a lot before I get the same effect on the television. i have to move very far to one side to get a similar effect on the television.

The monitor is only 23" and the tv is 32" yet the monitor isn;t much cheaper then the tv and the tv has none of the problems that seem to plague the monitor. I figure if I television can be made without those problems a monitor could also. Doesn't make sense to me.
