tbh the backlight bleed is normal on theses.

i have a Hannspree 28" which is a replacement and it as the same backlight bleed still.

Im very surprised this is normal as I have had various LCD monitors and never a problem,

Wonder why Hanns G have stopped producing these?

They havent stopped producing them, stocks been in constraint since Mid Jan. Stocks on the way via Sea, due to land Wk1/Wk2 of April.

Will be a slightly different model, very similar spec!

Watch this space!

I think an inspection by a company's engineer is standard policy and often a simple formality.

the key thing is "quality"

this is very cheap for a 28* monitor which means its at the low end of monitor.

Has it been like that from the start or was it a sudden or gradual change in back light bleed?

It was not as bad when I got it, purchased from OCuk December 2009 and since then its got worse especially on right side 3/4 way down

I'd like to hear some numbers from OCUK as to how many have been RMA'd. If it was as much of a big problem as it seems from looking at this forum, then they wouldn't be carrying on production.

I think it's a case of problematic quality control on the panel, and it is probably only effecting something like 10% or less of the monitors sold, I think it's probably that the only people who bother to post here are the one's with problems.

I suspect the return rate is low because most of the people buying these screens are not too fussy about quality and wouldn't RMA over something like this. My brother has one and the backlight bleed is so bad it would drive me crazy, but he doesn't mind it at all and thinks the Hanns-G is a great upgrade from his old 22". But if my 27" Dell had backlight bleed even half as bad I'd regard it as broken.

Ive had mine for a little while now and when i first got it i noticed the back light bleed and im pretty sure mine seems to be getting worst which is why i asked if it was a gradual thing for the bleed to get worst over time.

I know you cant really grumble over the price/quality balance but surely the bleed issue shouldnt be this bad.

Thanks for keeping us informed.

That,s the monitor up and running no light bleed at all, seems to be a new panel.

Thanks for the pics delpy8. As gareth170 said though, its possible over time the back light bleed could return but its also possible it could stay as it is wit the slight bleed which would be great for you.
