But you have to suffer from IPS backlight bleed?
You literally have 2 choices, PG279Q or the Acer robot one
They all use the same panels. So the design is all you're choosing from.
IIRC tftcentral covered all of those monitors. They open it up and show you the S/N of the panels.
But backlight bleed and glow is one of the downside that comes with IPS/VA, just try get lucky and settle for the one with the least possible
Ooh had forgotten about the ViewSonic XG2703-GS might have to see if I can get my hands on one to see what it is like.
Problem with Acer its such a lottery - you can get some really nice panels from them or some really problematic or just poor QC panels :|
There are only a small number of different panels used in all these monitors anyhow - the implementation and quality control can be widely different though :s
I have a few Asus IPS monitors and they all bleed to lesser or greater extent. I think I agree with Hornestinger though, every monitor is a compromise. You have to choose the attributes you want most and the "defects" you can live with. Personally, I don't find the bleed to be much of an issue. It's only really noticeable if you look for it. But whatever floats your boat.
That's disappointing for you. Got my PG279Q Thursday, sucks how temperamental they are.
Yeah, fair point. Luckily mine had no issues, but I'd have been extremely frustrated if it did. Felt like a risk buying it to be honest.
I'd be interested to hear what the viewsonic one is like, kinda interested in getting one
Cheers
Sounds good. Going to wait till Monday to decide if I'm going to go with vega.
If not think I'll get this and a gtx 1080
User pictures of backlight bleed always make me laugh. Here are my monitors:
Obviously the 2nd looks far worse and would be horrible to use. Except I only use one monitor and just changed the settings on my camera. And neither picture looks anything like real life.
I'm now kinda thinking of sending it back as well now.
I'm noticing the yellow glow more now
might even try the acer as well since its still out of stock.
