Re: Monitor Help!!
 

Thanks - spoke to Iiyama today - wern't forthcoming with anything new I hadn't tried - they are going to replace it when new units in stock. But I'm sure it's a set up problem due to the way it occured (a momentary unplugging of power) and the absolutely normal colours and display during the brief Auto set up routine. It's usable despite poor colours but I'll keep in touch on this.

Re: Monitor Help!!
 

Exactly the same problem here. Brightness seems too high even when at lowest setting, and a general blue hue to what should be grey tones, even though colour temp and gamma settings are normal. The screen also started to Auto Set-Up and change Set-Up Language unprompted.

My problems also started a couple of weeks ago when monitor ~six months old and after a change of location within the house. I would hope proximity to the keyboard isn't the problem given the size of my desk!

Has anyone had any further ideas/solutions? I'll try putting the keyboard on the floor for a while(!), but a new screen would be cheaper than a course of treatment at the chiropractor.

ughhh, exact same problem here...

:(

Re: Monitor Help!!
 

I just rang Iiyama support and they are shipping me a new TFT screen next week as soon as new stock becomes available. I'm not sure what triggered this fault but it seems hard to believe that merely turning it on/off at the plug could've caused this damage...

Re: Monitor Help!!
 

My replacement monitor arrived today and everything works fine!
Seems that merely disconnecting the power lead for a while caused the monitor to lose or corrupt its settings which then gave the washed out colour and other problems. Despite reverting to normal for a few seconds during the Auto Set up routine it then uses the "corrupt" settings. Iiyama said they'd never heard of such a problem but there are several forums on the go plus this one which shows that several people have experienced the same fault, and always after disconnecting the power lead. I didn't find Iiyama particularly helpful and I had to chase them to get the replacement which took about 10 days.

Thanks for keeping everyone updated, Planner :tu:

Yeah I'm still chasing the swines, last week they said there would be 'new' stock this week, I rang today and now they are saying next week, I asked if they had a firm delivery date, Iiyama claim they don't actually know when they are being delivered, that is some operation they run, no wonder this TFT crapped out after 4 months. It looks like the E435S has been dropped from the product portfolio, *******s said they would upgrade me except for the fact that the E435S is already top of the 17" lineup (another lie). Anyway I'll probably get one of the dud returned monitors that has been 'fixed', this puts me off ever buying an Iiyama product again, rant over...

Re: Monitor Help!!
 

amazingly my e435s has the same greyscale problem. It follows the same pattern as everybody elses, unplugged power, moved monitor, reconnected and hey presto screen with blue cast. Although I can go one better, all the menus came on in Japanese(or chinese not sure which).I tried the autoset up function and yes the monitor is perfect for a few seconds then it rverts to smurf vision. Alas my monitor is out of warantee....bugger

Re: Monitor Help!!
 

I splashed out on a Iiyama 17" TFT and it had 3 dead pixels out of the box!

Not one of the cheapo Dell TFT's our company has (40+) has a single dead pixel.

Needless to say, I won't be getting another TFT from Iiyama.

:dozey:

Re: Monitor Help!!
 

Yet another case of this... I've had an Iiyama ProLite E435S for a couple of years now. Originally, I connected by the D-Sub cable without any problems at all. I then bought a DVI cable and have been connecting using that ever since....

Now, I've just bought a second Iiyama ProLite E435S (from ebay) so that I can run dual screen Windows with matching monitors but it looks awful due to heavy tinting!

I have a ATI Radeon 9800 PRO graphics card which has a 1x DVI and 1x D-Sub outputs. Whichever of the monitors I connect by DVI has a perfect picture, but when the other one is connected to the D-Sub the screen is heavily tinted. My original monitor is tinted kinda blue/purple, the new monitor is tinted yellow.

I've tried 3 different D-sub cables and a D-sub cable plugged into the DVI output with an adaptor - All attempts have the same tinted result.

Again, as so many people have posted, when I press the "auto setup" button on either monitor the colour is perfect but as soon as the auto setup is completed, the colour flicks back to being tinted again...

Did anyone ever solve why this happens/how to fix it because I have no warranty for either of my monitors and don't really wanna have to buy a new motherboard and PCI-E graphics card just so that I can have two DVI outputs.....? :mad:

Re: Monitor Help!!
 

:welcome: to the forum.

I can't find Specs for the monitor. Has it got a seperate DVI and VGA input (for instance, my LG572S at work has both inputs and they are switchable)?

If it has, does the VGA input work well with other cards? Have you tried a DVI-VGA adaptor?

If it hasn't, have you tried a different DVI-VGA adapter?

Re: Monitor Help!!
 

I have the same model, prolite E435s for about 10 month or more, I use it as a dual setup along side my iiyama 19" crt, I usually have 2 pc's running on this monitor 1 in the dsub and mine in the dvi, i've not had any trouble or any dead pixels since I bought it, Its been a great monitor.

Re: Monitor Help!!
 

The iiyama ProLite E435S has two inputs - 1x DVI and 1x VGA. I've tried plugging into the VGA with an adapter from the DVI output on my card and the same tinting happens. I haven't tried a different card yet, but (judging by previous postings) I'm expecting the same to happen - though it'd be great if it didn't!

Actually, while on the subject can anyone recommend an AGP graphics card which is at least as good as my ATI Radeon 9800 PRO but has dual DVI outputs? That would fix my problem as the DVI inputs on both the monitors are fine!

Cheers
