Hi list,
A while back, I bought an Eizo T766 19" CRT. I chose this one, because after
problems with philips and previewing of others, it was the only one left
which would satisfy me. The problem is, this one has a problems as well.
Before this one, I have had approximatly 7 109P40's from Philips. All of
them with different convergence, focus and geometry errors. I was not the
only one with problems. On the Internet I found a lot of people with the
same problems. And the 109P40 of a friend of mine suffers from the same. It
was not just me. My new Eizo also suffers from the same errors (but a
little less). I've tried it on three computers on different places in the
house and it gives the exact same problem. I send it in for repair twice,
with no result. To be more acurate, the first time it got back, the picture
quality was worse. After using a loanmodel (T965, 21" CRT) for the duration
of the repair, I noticed that the "color restoration" feature on the
loanmodel did very much more than on my own T766. To rule out any
difference in model, I asked someone who has a well-performing T766 how his
collorrestorartion worked, what was visible on the screen. He said that he
could see the brightness being adjusted for the red, green and blue colors.
My T766 only displays a grey square for about a second and exits to the on
screen display.
There is more. Because I didn't expect another repair would help me, I asked
if it would be possible to get a new one. It was. When I got it, I noticed
that the picture quality was worse, but not only that, the color
restoration didn't work either!
One could say that the picture errors could caused by a magnetic field for
example, but I don't think so, seeing as how all the monitors I've had
(including the Philips's) all had the errors in different places on the
screen and the errors were exactly the same on different places in the
house on different computers.
The Eizo distributing centre here contacted Eizo in Japan for answers. They
said that it must be an incidental case, because they have not had any more
problems. I repair techician once told me that Eizo monitors were having
problems lately. He didn't tell me any specific problems, but it was enough
not to trust Eizo Japan.
My question is, is anyone aware of problems with Eizo monitors, and what the
cause of these errors might be. Again, it doesn't appear to be me or my
environment, seeing as how an absolute feature of the monitor as color
restorartion doesn't work on two T766's i've tried.
And BTW, the two faulty monitors come from the same production series, april
2003. The serial numbers are: 33089043 (the one I orginally bought, current
one) and 34151043 (the one they send me, and which I rejected). I know that
043 means april 2003 because I asked them
The well-performing T766 of
that guy I know is from march 2003, serial 32829033.
