2407 A03 Banding and other issues
I have had to exchange my 2407 twice now, the most recent for an A03 version, made in China (not sure if that makes a difference). All versions including the A03 have severe banding when connected through DVI, this is a little better in VGA but with that text and other items are much more blurry. I am in college for digital media so I have projects and other work that makes these problems a big issue. I wanted to find out if anyone has received an A03 version of the 2407 that is clear of issues such as banding. Also is there anyway to explain my situation of needing a monitor without these issues because of my work in order to receive a better model. This has started to become a little annoying, having to do these exchanges with no improvements, especially when it cuts into my work for school. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

2407 A03's you shouldn't see any banding in desktop mode, if you do you might have other issues or just got a few bad panels. Multimedia and gaming modes band in gradient tests and in certain types of content.
Other info.
RadXGe posted a pic of an A02 and an A03 side by side and there is banding in the A02 and not in the A03 desktop mode only.

Left is an A02 right is an A03 yours should be at least that clean. Mine are 99% clean, other reasons. Look at other gradient tests from a BenQ241W you'll see minor banding also.
See the link: Other reasons for minor banding.

The manufacturing process of LCD's itself, overdrive, gamma, contrast, the chip technology and other issues can create banding. Some LCD’s are just better than others, it depends how much time and money went in to the development phase of the product.
All in all, it's if you can get by with it or not. I've always said if it affects your work and your livelihood , your source of income, you better rethink your monitor choice carefully. :)
Good Day :)- Centius ... My A03 version came from Mexico, no banding observed in Desktop Mode. Make sure you are in that Mode. China manufacture may be an issue over Mexico, not 100 % sure. :smileyvery-happy:Dim 4400

Where should I see banding actually? I used to see banding in the banding png test, with the A03 I can't see it anymore with the test but I can see some bandings sometimes in movies, and on some websites. All 2407WFP A03 owners, can you please tell me that there is banding at the sides of this website: www.auzentech.com. I can see it very clearly with my 2407WFP A03 Czech eventhough I should pay more attention to their new released sound card than to the banding :smileyvery-happy:Edit: I went to the website again and used all three modes(desktop, multimedia and gaming), the banding are at different places for each mode.Message Edited by alg7_munif on 10-27-2006 11:40 AM

Say you have a full screen image up of colors and gradient. I'd say of the 21inches(rounded up slightly, 6 inches clearly shows the banding even at a glance. Its doesn't show up on a pure color non gradient, but when you get into darker area banding can be seen. I find I can deal with it, and so can probably most people its slight, but it is there if you ask me.
