     So I know this question gets asked every month or so, but I just had
an asus PA256Q Pro-Art monitor wake up with a huge "splotch" - a darkened
yellowish patch in dead center of the monitor, along with some kind of
"tear" in the panel behind the main screen (looks like an inch-long scratch
but is beneath the actual surface of the panel). And no, I didn't scratch
it or clean it with battery acid, etc. To Asus's credit I already have an
RMA with free shipping set up, and I bought this monitor as a refurb on
ebay for $350 (originally $600+) so they have really great customer service
and honored the 3 year warranty. But after using the Pro-Art for several
months I have to say it is just blown away by the Eizo CG222W I have in a
side-by-side comparisons. I am highly suspect of their claims it is true
10-bit color. Of course the Eizo was 3x more expensive, but still. Anyway
I'm looking for a new 24" panel and the RMA'd one will go on my
non-mission-critical workstation. I have heard great things about Dell's
and HP dreamcolor panels, but not really looking to spend over $1,000 if I
can help it. Any ideas fellows?
