White haze around white objects on new samsung crt

[sramjones]

Just got a new Samsung 19" syncmaster 997DF. I love it but. When there is a very dark black backround, such as the wallpaper, whenever there is a white object withing the black such as the poiinter or a white icon or even bold text, There will be a white Haze or ghosting around the image. Its hard to explain. It is like the whites are to sharp to be contained by the blacks. It happens also In windows xp when I start up and get the windows xp part with the logo before welcome screen. down in the lower right where it says microsoft it is there and most vissible.

It is a 19"monitor and i am running 1280 x 1024 at 85hz. It is also .20 dot pich


Please help

Here is a link to a picture. I amde it in Mspaint and the pink surrpunds where i see the haze of the white

You might be seeing some reflection or refraction effects caused by the anti glare coating or the glass front of the CRT itself. My FD Trinitron does that all the time. You might be able to reduce the haze somewhat by turning down the contrast a bit, which has the pleasant side effect of prolonging the CRT life. On my monitor, I've learned to live with it.

So My monitor isint Defective corerect

[stan03]

no its not defective.

Mine does the same thing. I have a bright taskbar with a dark background. At night, you can see a glowing above the taskbar. This is caused by the light reflecting off of the backside of the monitor screen. Move a bright window around a dark background and you'll see the same thing.

So I shgouldent ruturn it samsung said I should

[Aphex_Tom_9]

if the RMA is free, give it a shot, if not, it's not worth it.

if the RMA is free, give it a shot, if not, it's not worth it.
Yup. I wouldn't do it unless I had an extra monitor laying around.

[sramjones]

well I can just take it back to circuit city

and My friend has the 955df and says he doesnt get that but he could just be to lazy and lying. I mean I had a 15" monitor from gateway from my 1st pc in 1997 and this samsung really ising that big of a upgrade its just the size.

and If I dont run at a high resolution the iconds look all like boxy. Kind of like a Lcd of a cell phone. you can see every pixel.


Idk I am not to happy with this monitor

and When I play dvds in full screen even if i rip them to HDD the picture is grainy.

Sombody please Im me AIM=Vincentp77

I just pick one up 20 min ago. It works great, no ghosting

[sramjones]

mAXAMD SO YOU GET NONE AND ITS PERFECT AND CRISP EVEN WITH A BLACK BACKROUND AND A WHITRE OBJECT OVER IT

[MaxAMD]

I would say a little less then I have with my older AST 7L. I have to watch extremly close and keep moving the curser back and forth. When I move it back and forth rapidly in the same spot it shows trails but that I believe that would show on any monitor.
I would exchange it for a new one if I was you, before you lose thier return policy and then have to ship it back to Samsung via RMA.

[sramjones]

Got a 2nd monitor and got the same problem on 2 different pcs

[stan03]

so the RMA monitor doesn't work either... im beginning to wonder if its your video card....

[MaxAMD]

I would say video card too, but he did try it on two different pc's.

[sramjones]

Yes I did

[alothekiller]

i think its just monitors do that... I wouldnt worry about it. My NEC multisync97f does that a lttle to when the lights are off and it leave a little trail , but i dont mind at all. :santa:

[corebreach]

Like alotherkiller said, that's just what CRTs do. I would say you'd be hard pressed to find a CRT that doesn't create this haze.

[sramjones]

I called samsung and they said it shouldent happen, friend has 995df and it doesnt do it, the guy at circuit city said its not supposed to happen

I returned it and got a refund

[ashenfang]

I know exactly what you are talking it about, and yes, it is NORMAL. I have a View Sonic 19" that does the same thing. After some research, I found that it is caused from a combination of the shadow mask and anti-glare coating on the screen. Its normal and is part of its operation. I thought the same thing you did and returned the monitor twice and tried a second computer as well with the same results. After a While I didn't even notice it.

[sramjones]

Yeah thx alot for looking into it for me, I went threw 3 of them and picked up a LCD. I have 30 days if i dont like it I can return it and go back and get the samsung

[TimDgsr]

honestly i would think that light and the way our eyes perceive it would play part of that too. i mean, eyes can create halo's around lighter colors. so if you see white light, and a black background, i think the way our eyes work would create a certain amount of it.

[sramjones]

Oh yeah good point didnt think about that
