Hi i bought the 24inch asus 144hz monitor 3 weeks ago and yesterday while playing skyrim i noticed some horrible colors on dark scenes while looking up at the sky at night i could notice that the clouds had some wheird shadows coming of them like with green and gray thint i have been looking all over the internet and aparently its called crawling moss i will post some pictures to see if someone can tell me if this is normal or not because i can still send the monitor back, ok thanks sorry for my lack of punctuation and other errors im in a hurry to work ok thanks.

i took this pictures with my phone they are not very good quality but as you can see there are some shadows and tints that should not be there

Hi
In scenarios you have i suggest you to run LCD test.
TFT Test or similar tool.
But i think you`r right you have bad monitor - as long i can interpret the pic`s you upload.
I see dark spots that i think you gonna see in TFT Test tool on the same spot.
RMA the Monitor if you confirm that.
You can read you monitor Pixel Policy to be prepared ....
But All LCD manufacturers have some policy that treat LCD defects - in most of cases they do not treat defects like this for NORMAL .... they talk about fault pixels and su pixels count ...... so you can still have clean RMA i think !

thanks everyone for your answers i just got off from work.

@Airm3n :

yes i have tried using custom color profile as well as messing with the color settings in the nvidia control panel and it is the same result, the picture quality is very good except in dark scenes...

@bystander :

well i did not tried at 120hz mode but i tried at 60hz and at 144hz and it is the same result.

@Nikolay Savov:

ok thanks i will try to do what you suggested.....
 
It's either your video card, cable or monitor. You wouldn't happen to have another dual link DVI-D cable, or even HDMI if you want to try at 60hz? Test a different cable. Then see if you can test a different graphics card, and or reattach your old monitor and see if the same thing is happening. Otherwise, you might have to RMA the monitor.

Dude
Test you monitor in 2D mode - use this : http://soft.sibnet.ru/soft/22441-tft-monitor-test-1-52/
That`s how you gonna test you monitor and not you VGA cards if they are the problem you focus
Test you LCD using tool and if you have any problems there you must see them and RMA
If you DO NOT see any problems( moss or spots ) in 2D test then is NOT YOU LCD
Test you cables and VGA as other guys advised.
Speaking of SLI and BSOD - try the same game if you like with ONE VGA ..... that shud be easy - just turn off tha SLI mode in drivers and use the main VGA for test.

ok i tried disabling sli, then i removed both cards and used my older 480gtx and still the same result, i also used another cable a dvi to hdmi to try with my plasma 720p tv and nothing...

@Nikolay Savov :

i tried the software you recommended and did not found any problem.

Then is not the LCD Monitor !
But then is you 3D mode with 3 different VGA ....
Something fishy here ....
