Hello all,
I think I already know the answer to my question but thought I’d get a few extra opinions. The topic says enough, but I’ll elaborate by saying that on my now 6-year old Iiyama Vision Master 450 shadow mask monitor, which I’m running at 1280x1024x85hz (75 hz not helping any), I have recently begun to see faint shadowing of text. It’s not so bad that I can’t deal with it for a while longer yet, and images look fine when editing, but does anyone know if ghosting is an indication of the monitor going out? Is there anything that can easily be done to remedy the situation other than running a lower resolution setting, which I have seen does help somewhat. From comments I’ve seen in here on other monitors, I feel I’ve been well served to have this monitor hold up as well as it has for 6 years. But, given that I’m not using it frequently throughout the day as some of you pros are, I also wonder if even a longer life should be expected. I’m not sure how longevity of monitors compares to TV tubes, but I’m guessing it is less since they are driven harder. I know some TV tubes can well last 10 years or more.
Thanks,
Daryl
