Question to All Sony G-400 Owners ...

I currently have three of these units (don't ask 🙁 ) and all three exhibit a faint blue tint to the lefthand part of the display, from top to bottom, and the pattern is about 60-70mm wide. It's very annoying on any light colored backgrounds.

Anybody else have this? It's not noticeable at first, but once the monitors are properly warmed up (minimum 30 min.) it becomes more and more apparent.
 
How far from the left hand corner is it? Try setting it to a different refresh rate at the same resolution - is it still there?
 
It starts right at the left edge and extends, as I noted, about 70mm or so.

Different refresh rates, different vid cards, nothing makes any difference.

🙁

Nobody else with this problem? It's apparent in other Sony's I checked out over the weekend, albeit they were only E-400's.
 
Hmm tried degaussing? if that doesn't work i dunno. i have one and i am looking at it right now and i don;t notice anything like that. the only problem i have had/still have is a slight geometric one. I notice a slight curvature in the upper left hand corner.
 
I've got 2 G500's and they exhibit the same problems as well as red tints on the opposite corners.

My only solution was to shrink the screen size of the picture so it doesn't fully stretch out to the edges.

Kinda stinks to have to shell out all that money and have convergence problems heh?

 
try to move your computers/speakers away from the monitor

i think that could be your problem

i have had this with my E200

i move the speakers away (yes they SAID it is shield) and the thing went away
 
Adjusting convergence does not cure the problem, nor does degaussing (besides, that is not a good thing to be doing very often, and it degausses everytime you turn it on anyways).

There are no speakers (nor power supplies) located anywhere near the units.

Doggiedog's observation is the only thing that makes any difference. More and more obvious that they have convergence problems beyond what can be adjusted.

Time to go back to Iiyama ...
 
Try using the restore factory condition thingy feature. If it still exists, it's defective... I dont seem to have that problem with my G400, just an annoying problem of screen shifting to the right until it warms up. Kind of odd that you'd get 3 different G400s with the same problem tho.
 
Not the same issue, but my Sony 200ES (Trinitron) had a serious problem with a brown haze in the bottom right corner, and it was less than a month old. Sony tried to fix it 3 times, all three times it came back worse (and sometimes with other problems). Finally, after at least a dozen calls to Sony, they shipped me a refurbished monitor. It doesn't have the same problem, but now I have serious geometry problems. If you have a Sony monitor that doesn't have any defects count yourself lucky - Sony's support isn't anywhere near high quality in my book.
 
I think Midnight's problems cannot be fixed by settings alone. I think his problems are similar to mine in that the quality of the monitor just isn't 100%. That's why people tell you to test out the monitor before you buy it. Unfortunately, its hard to do when you buy mail order.

Now that is interesting. Not only do all three have the blue misconvergence problem, but all three also exhibit the same righthand screen shift until warmup that you describe. As well, their display areas are &quot;over-rotated&quot; (counterclockwise) until warmup too.

The verdict is becoming clearer ... SONY is SUCK! 😉
