I have a new display for 3 weeks (Samsung 215TW (S-PVA)) and got a new system with Vista this weekend. I validated my profile and got very different dE in the whites. Someone suggested uneven illumination, therefore I choose a neutral dark gray background a moment ago and was shocked … I noticed a very inhomogeneous illumination. The left side is much brighter (I already noticed it, but it seemed brighter) and through the middle of the screen (I just noticed it) there is a lighter band going from left to right. I just installed Lightroom and noticed the images brighter on the left side compared to the right side.
I was thinking of sending the display back, but this model is discontinued and the alternative (Eizo S2111W) also suffers from the same phenomenon.

lReview of the Eizo S2111W. It seems a common problem of the panel from Samsung. The Eizo is higher priced at 750 euro (compared to 425 euro) and I still get the same display.
This is my first LCD screen and worked on a a CRT before. Is this normal? Should I just ignore this? What is your experience considering photo-editing?
[span style=\'font-size:8pt;line-height:100%\']I just want a good screen, preferable with the following characteristics: widescreen, aprox. 20 – 22 inches, 8-bit color, HDCP, 8ms or faster. If you have suggestions, please say so.[/span]
