Question for those of you with LCDs...

Is the brightness of your screen pretty much uniform top to bottom?

I just picked up a Samsung SyncMaster 710N (their 17" analog LCD) and I've noticed that the image brightens slightly as you look from top to bottom down the screen. This is especially apparent on solid colors like medium gray. If I lower my eyelevel so I'm looking straight at the center of the screen it's clearly shaded looking toward the top portion of the display and if I raise my eyeline a few inches maybe 6" above the top of the monitor the top portion lightens to what the bottom was but the bottom begins to fade out due to the viewing angle.

It's not horrible but just a little annoying to someone who's used to the uniform brightness of the CRTs and I suspect it's just a design characteristic of the display rather than a sample defect but do others find the same thing with your LCDs?
 
That's why LCD's can never 'truly' become what a CRT can give us.
However, I own an LCD(NEC MultiSync something, it's really nice for a 15", 1560nv?? i forget the model). I have the same issue, but then again i'm not constantly standing up and sitting down when i'm looking at it. However the overall quality of something things like text are really nice on LCD's, and it's more portable. That's about the only really nice thing about it. Saves space and looks great. Will never be a CRT however.

I want...a 17" lcd that can do 1600x. That'd be nice.
 
Ihave three LCDs - 1 on a laptop and two on "floortops." They are placed so that I always look at the center of the screen and are tilted so that look is at 90 degrees. I have never seen any shading variants such as you describe.

My main reason for switching to LCDs (ViewSonic 19s) is to eliminate heat in the computer room - especially in the summer where we have several weeks in a row of triple digit temperatures.
