SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS
The following symptoms are normal with LCD monitor and do not indicate a problem.
• Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during initial use. Turn off the Power Switch and then turn it on again to make sure the flicker disappears.
• You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop pattern you use.
• The LCD screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may include blemishes of 0.01% or less such as a missing pixel or a pixel lit all of the time.
• Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain after switching the image, when the same image is displayed for hours. In this case, the screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or turning off the Power Switch for hours.
• If the screen suddenly flashes erratically or the backlighting fails, please contact your dealer or service center for repair. Do not attempt to repair the monitor yourself.
ocuk are brilliant for the 14 day period on sending things back.actually i think its 7 days.Scared now.
I do hope mine isn't that bad, if it is I'll be getting a refund. I believe under web buying laws I can return something even if I don't like it within a 14 day period? Worth a punt for the price of posting it back though.
viewing angles are awful
your right.actually i think its 7 days.
nearly all lcd monitors that ocuk do have a viewing angles of 170°/160°[/QUO
ok ill word it differently then the top of the screen is way darker than the bottom.
maybe yours was more faulty.ok ill word it differently then the top of the screen is way darker than the bottom.

PS Having just completed a Masters-level essay on LCD technology (specifically TN panels) I can tell you that quoted viewing angles are absolute bull****, they are completely dependent on what the manufacturer decides is "viewable".
Even with correction films applied on the surface of TN film LCDs you will always get some colour alteration at angles on a TN film, its a consequence of physical laws!. On something as big as 28" its going to be even more noticeable as the further away from the centre point of your vision you go (ie further away from perpendicular), the worse it gets. Hence why LCD TVs of a certain size are not usually made using TN technology, more commonly PVA and MVA are used
that i agree with.You will notice a colour shift at pretty much every angle, PARTICULARLY in the vertical direction.
that i agree with.
but looking straight on at the screen the colours shouldn't be varieing at the sides
well this i don't agreeThey will be, no matter how good the TN panel is made. By the very way the twisted nematic liquid crystal cell works, and how the polarised light from the backlight interacts with it, if you are looking at ANYTHING but exactly 90 degrees to the screen, the colour will change.
Which in reality means that every single pixel except from the one you are looking at has some amount of colour shift. Compensation films can reduce this greatly to the point where its not noticable to our eyes at most angles, but when you are talking about a screen as big as 28" you WILL be able to notice it horizontally at the edges unless you sit very far away. It makes less difference vertically because, due to the 16:9 aspect ratio, the LCDs are much longer than they are high.
