Well, it IS a TN-panel, so it has issues with colors (since it's 6bit color on all TN-panels) and the angles from which you view it in .

But you could've gotten one of the shit panels. Samsung has had this issue with the 226BW-monitors, that some are made in second-rate factories.


I also think fisk should be unbanned.

That's a combination of a bad quality panel and display driver. What you're seeing is dithering/banding which can be caused by certain combination of drivers/displays/video cards. And this goes beyond the 6-bit vs 8-bit thing because this can be seen on CRT's and high end LCD's as well. Do you have a CRT laying around, test on that. If it continues than the crappy panel is to blame.

Most likely you'll have to live with it but out of curiosity what graphics card do you have?

Well there you go. You've got a crap quality panel. My TN doesn't do that and neither do many on the market. I've avoided a lot of Samsungs LCD's because of where they source their panels from the past year or two.

TN panels will most likely have banding....
