“Movie quality Hello - I was watching a movie on this monitor...It was in 1080 and I was totally unhappy with the amount of squares I could see in the dark areas of the picture. In other words, when there were supposed to be dark areas in the movie, I could see squares of color, not pure black. I tried messing with the contrast/brightness but still this happened. I paused the exact scene on my old iMac and the black was pure and the picture looked much nicer/deeper. Any ideas? Is this just the LCD technology?”

If you are running it with HDMI connection, switch to DVI. It sounds crazy but it makes a world of difference in the image quality. I had the same issues you had til I made the swtich.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It could be the video itself not the monitor. It depends on how well the video was encoded or compressed. If the video is highly compressed it will include compression artifacts and pixelation. So if the video is bad, it will look bad on any monitor.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe that this is the nature of LCD's; it's something that I had to learn to live with.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have been using this monitor for several weeks now and I have not had the problem you mentioned. My blacks are very black and the whites very white. This is an LED monitor not LCD. Do we have the same monitor?
