PNY Optima SSD 240 GB Extremely Slow Speeds

Hi, I just bought a similar SSD, the Optima 120GB. I too have the same problem, it is very slow at only 15MB/s transfer speed, which is quite disheartening for me, expecting this to be at least faster than my HDD. FWIW, I'm using ECS A780GM-A Ultra motherboard, BIOS is set to AHCI. This mobo...

No problem :) That's too bad, especially when that's the fourth one. When my first unit went south, I checked 3 VP930B the store have in stock and ALL 3 exhibit the same problem!. I'm pretty discouraged at that point since I really like this LCD, when it works. So the store sent my first...

Also make sure to check that you don't have the color flickering problem like the one I had, see my post a few pages back. Use a color gradient like those in MS Paint cause it may only be visible on certain color/hue. Don't mean to scare you or anything, just making sure you're getting a perfect...

This one is even 1300:1. Strange thing is, I remember seeing one with 1000:1 there, but I can't seem to find it anymore

Just an update on my VP930 flickering color problem, I finally receive a replacement unit which does not exhibit the problem from Viewsonic. It's also manufactured in September, only 2 weeks newer than my old one. So far it's working great, no dixels, no color flicker, and it even has less...

Is there some way that we as users can be certain of this. I mean is there some sort of applications or test images that we can use to differentiate between TRUE 8-bit and 6-bit+2bit FRC?

I still don't understand why they state that the VP930B is 8-bit, while in fact it's 6-bit + 2-bit FRC. Why not just state it as such from the beginning like the VX924 in this doc :confused:

I don't need to do any test to see it, all i need to do is look at my wallpaper, especially if it consists of many redish colors, they all flicker badly Because I was using the same wallpaper for the last 2 months and it looks perfect. One day I turned it on and saw a little flickering on...

Oh yes it's very noticeable, you can't even pretend it's not there if you wanted to. In MS Paint's color gradient it's like a series of flickering vertical black lines in place of certain colors, mostly in the red region. It's as if the LCD can not display those particular colors properly. I...

Just an update with my bad case of VP930B and maybe a tip for those considering it, make sure you try to display a complete color gradient (like those in MS Paint), and see if there are weird flickering on some color hues, particularly the red ones. I've tried 3 of them and all of them showed...

Thx Compellor, hopefully mine is just a case of bad luck. Too bad if they have to replace it since it has 0 dead pixel and almost no backlight bleeding *sigh*

Hi, I've searched all over the web for an explanation about the weird color problem I've been experiencing lately with my VP930B and this is closest explanation I can find. I've had this LCD for about 4 months until suddenly it started showing weird flickering "lines" on certain color. It...
