I am starting to notice weird artifacts in my VH236H. I guess I noticed them from the start but it was an improvement over the Asus monitor I replaced it with so I didn't care.
But I can clearly see a gradient type pattern on certain types of motion in video games. I find it hard to believe that I would get 2 lemons in a row from Asus but I seriously cannot believe that these monitors are so highly reviewed on Newegg when I have clearly gotten 2 monitors in a row from Asus that have significant issues compromising the image quality.
The artifact is clearly visible when I grab the scrollbar in my web browser (IE). When I drag it up and down, the black line on the bottom and top of the scrollbar (the short horizonal line that forms the block of the scrollbar) i can see little black pixels dancing around when I move that around.
And I see the same effect heavy in Diablo 3 and Left 4 Dead 2. Looks like I am going to have to avoid Asus monitors entirely, I just can't believe nearly Asus monitor has a 5 star average on Newegg.
Are people really that easy to please? Do they just plug the monitor in and if it shows ANY picture they give it 5 stars? Maybe I am being anal about this, but my laptop and my old Dell monitor from 2005 don't show any of this crap.
Color me dissapointed.
