NEC PA242W with SpectraView problems

[frans_waterlander]

<p>NEC now believes that the PA242A had the wrong or incomplete firmware loaded. It cannot be loaded by the user since a special tool is needed to do that. A new replacement monitor is on the way.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure, one of the people who've viewed this thread was just about to suggest it was a firmware issue but NEC tech, beat that person to the punch. <br /><br />IOW, the thread served no purpose, the people who understand how this product works would eventually figure it out, or send you a new unit. And hopefully, it will not flicker! <img src="http://forum.luminous-landscape.com/Smileys/default/shocked.gif" alt="Shocked" border="0" /></p>

<p>New unit stays calibrated on power down and up; serial numbers on label, in OSD and in SpectraView all agree! No signs of flicker, but with the P242W it took 18 months and 1 month for the original unit and the replacement unit respectively to develop flicker; time will tell.<br>

Note to Andrew Rodney: no need for another smart aleck remark.</p>

<p>So we're thankfully free now for 19 months. <img src="http://forum.luminous-landscape.com/Smileys/default/shocked.gif" alt="Shocked" border="0" /></p>
