2407WFP and pinkish/greenish shimmering problem

Hi guys,
 
I'm intending to get one of these monitors but I've read that even the A03 doesn't fix the shimmering/mouse trails problem. To 2407WFP owners out there, how bad is this pinkish shimmering problem? Could you guys take a short video clip of that shimmering problem when scrolling webpages?
 
:)

    I don't think the problem affect all 2407WFPs, I didn't notice the problem in my old A02 that has been exchanged with an A03 that I'm using now which has the problem. It hurts my eyes when browsing but it can be reduced by reducing the brightness of the monitor.

    Hmm, you did not notice it with your Rev A02? That's kinda strange because I've seen users with A02 complaining about that too.

    I don't think that it has any connection with the firmware, it might be the panel itself because some people have it and some don't. I noticed that the panel from the old monitor has a better quality than mine now(no dead pixel, no backlight leak and it feels thicker when being touched). I think this is due to different production batch.

    It's a shame this monitor is plagued with so many annoying bugs, are you gonna get your set replaced?

    By doing so, it would only mask the problem.. not solve the root of the problem isn't it?

    I'm getting a replacement for the monitor but due to another problem. My first 2407WFP has the best panel quality so far but it is an A02, I feel a little disappointed with the replacement, it would be better if I can flash the firmware for my old A02 myself.

    That's what a color adjustment is for:)

    Haven't you ever adjusted the color on a T.V. set before. to correct an out of acceptable viewing color display range.

    Just adjust it. 7 out of 7, 2407's A02's and A03's I've been thru are that way.

    If you find the "root" let us all know:)

    Just received a replacement A03 here in Germany, the panel also has the pinkinsh/greenish problem. I just noticed that if I set the brightness too high it will be pink and if it is too low it'll be green. When the brightness is just right then there'll be no shimmering.
