Anyone else got this model with this issue ? I have had the screen since July and have just noticed that if I leave the screen on say YouTube for 10+ mins and then start watching a dark video I can clearly see the YouTube layout still for a quite a while.

I thought this sort of issue had been sorted a decade ago on LCDs.
 
Hi Daniel,

I was planning on emailing you tonight asking you if you knew whether this was a known issue or if I have another broken monitor ( 34" screens now, 2 Acers were sent back).

I noticed that if I leave my PC locked for 5-10 mins the windows 10 clock can be seen when I unlock it against my darkish but not black "spacy" wallpaper for a quite a while.

I haven't spoken to anyone yet was seeing if anyone else had seen this issue or if you knew about it. Do you mean contact LG directly about the issue ?
 
Never heard of it before I got the screen but then I did get it months ago now, I wouldn't if I knew of this issue before hand though. £700+ screen you wouldn't expect this really. But at least its not just my screen with the issue and I just have to put up with it until a screen comes out that doesn't seem to suffer from 100s of issues that a £99 random company you have never heard of screen doesn't seem to have ....

Said it before but buying screens is the worst part of building a PC by far, the more money you have to throw at one, it seems to the more likely you are to end up with a busted screen that cant be fixed or replaced. Think I might just buy 20 17" tft's for 15p, bet everyone of them would have no issues.

I see if I can get an image of my screen doing it sometime this week.

Anyone else able to check this out? Using the windows 10 clock on the lock screen or youtube video list before changing to a dark screen.

Also Daniel could you poke around and see if this is a known issue (for LG) for this screen or panel ?
 
Mines at 60hz at the moment I think as I get random black screens on desktop if I have it at 75 with freesync enabled while on the desktop. I'll check tonight.

So far this screen hasn't lived up to what I hoped, just like both acers but I noticed those issues within the dsr(or what ever it's called now) period.

Yeh a few hours I could understand and wouldn't be normal operation (though my dell has no issues).

I am still hoping for Daniel to replay to this thread again, hopefully with any info around this. If it is fixable then I don't mind sending in back to be fixed but if its not then I don't want to be with out a screen again for an extended period of time for no reason again.
