Shouldn't Matrox recall Parhelia?

[joonie]

If the Banding Issue seems to be a hardware problem, shouldn't
Matrox recall all Parhelia, like Intel did with their chipset a few
years ago? Or would it get Matrox out of business?
And is president of Matrox well aware of the situation?
Would it take more than Haig to answer all these?

[K6-III]

Matrox would not survive...

You're a little late, Joonie... This subject has been beaten to death already, and no one's happy with the situation. Get over it.

I'm probably a bit late (I'm late at everything )

But if you see it a little bit closer, that's what Matrox has to do if it comes obvious that it's a hardware problem. 'Cause the cover of the Parhelia didn't say it has a banding problem and we should be aware of it. If I knew the banding issue before, I wouldn't have bought it. .
All I'm saying is that if it becomes very clear it's hardwaric(?) problem, Matrox should consider recalling P.
If Matrox doesn't react to this problem quickly, consumers won't be too happy about it and what does M have to say about it?

You know how long the Parhelia's been out? How on earth do you think can Matrox react "quickly" to the problem now? And if you're THAT dissatisfied with your P, sell it. I'll even make an offer: 150,- EUR (about equivalent to USD) plus shipping.

Well, gradually if not "quickly".
They should admit something's wrong with Parhelia.
And if they just sit on their ass not doing anything, where are
our rights? Don't we have any rights to use a product that has no hardware problem, and Parhelia's not even cheap to start with.
In my opinion, M should show even a little interest in this issue.
They are just trying to avoid the topic.

AZ, you are very funny (I'm not being sarcastic) I like that humor.

If it wasn't a joke, let me say something.
I'm not THAT dissatisfied with Parhelia, although I have some complaints with it. Don't we all? You love your home country, but that doesn't mean you are 100% satisfied with what they do, am I not right?
I bought Parhelia just a day after its release and I'm not going to sell it. But I just can't stand it if it has a hardware problem and it keeps bugging me. Still, I'm not going to sell it, but I am going to see it that it gets fixed.

It CANNOT get fixed. Get yourself a digital flat panel, that's the only option.

If you change your mind about selling it, you know where to find me.

WHAT? It can't get fixed?
Well then I want Matrox to pay for my digital flat panel.
I didn't want my card to malfunction.
HAIG! Ship it to the address I sent you.

NOTE: I am NOT the official voice of Matrox. In fact, I have NOTHING to do with the company.

what is the Banding Issue ?

[Sasq]

here we go round the mulberry bush

[drslump]

just make a search in the Matrox Hardware forum : "parhelia banding"
There are plenty of tips on how to reduce the banding artifacts,
anyway I'll recomend to use a dark wallpaper with a dark theme for the windows

[borat]

do some searching for banding - all this has been discussed, if you feel your parhelia is "faulty" return it knowing that they are all like it and get your money back - stop winging about something you can do nothing about and get on with things. all parhelias suffer a similar fate its a design flaw matrox know we all know so if you cant hack banding get yourself a refund.
