Aha, it does have the dots and I just got it off Amazon as well! Thanks Durward - I was thinking maybe they had sent me one of the first off the line from the back room. Newer is usually better right?
So, as a part two - if there is no user mode, which mode would you recommend for casual gaming? I see a bunch of notes in the manual about how certain settings aren't changeable in certain modes. I'm not certain I trust the "Gaming" setting for actual gaming either, as I'm looking for better picture quality over performance (input lag for fps's etc).
I've been using Standard mode, but I'm not sure it's the best - using Disney Wow tools, the brightness is 0 for example. I'd prefer more color pop but man I can't stand grays when it's supposed to be black.
