Sooo close to buying this monitor, just abit worried on the bleed situation. Id rather have brightness turned down a fair bit as it does my eyes in.

TBH all these UW LG monitors seem to have some bleed, just depends on how much bleed you can put up with. This 3rd one of mine has very little bleed, only time you really notice it is when on a pure black screen and looking for it.

Just do it mate - I've not bothered checking mine, but from the tests I've conducted, I've got minimul bleed.

Yes Nexus, I do. It's not just one, its a whole line down the screen.

hardkore · 19 Aug 2014 at 19:49

Just do it eh?

What's ocuk's return policy on these with bad bleed? I'd imagine postage would be a fair bit!

Damn, unlucky

You going to contact ocuk to get it repaired then?

If it is very bad i.e. like my first two then they will send out a new one for you or do a full refund.

ocuk arranged collection via DPD for me and I live in NI so no faff required.

No problem

The 290 copes very nicely with 2560x1080 res

Indeed - been pushing 100fps in BL2 at max settings with my 290 before my RMA!

Just took delivery of mine... must say I couldn't go back to using a 16:9 after just 15 mins with this... I love the wide angle and only loosing 1 cm top to bottom over my old 24"

Minor amount of bleed in the left hand corner... could even notice it at first

And the fact you can have two internet windows open side by side and loose very little real estate is great

Clairvoyant · 20 Aug 2014 at 00:44

Enigma can you take a pic with a black screen, and lights off.

enigma27 · 20 Aug 2014 at 00:53

I took this by starting a video file and pausing it...

Strange that the bleed is mote noticeable through the camera lens than looking at it with my eyes

enigma27 · 20 Aug 2014 at 01:20

Just had another thought... currently using hdmi as the DVI cable from my old monitor looks like its a basic one and when using it test is all muddled and blurry...

is HDMI restricted on this panel? would I be better off getting a Display port cable or DVI cable?

hardkore · 20 Aug 2014 at 06:24

What brightness level have you got your monitor set to on that black screen enigma?

Also to everyone else, has anyone got a pictures of a XB1 or PS4 running on one of these?

enigma27 · 20 Aug 2014 at 08:00

Brightness is set to 12 as per the settings a few pages back..

enigma27 · 20 Aug 2014 at 09:21

Guys help me out.

Do i be impatient and go to my local store and buy an I want it nickel plated display port cable for 15 quid or do I wait and order a

C2G DisplayPort to DisplayPort 1.2 Cable with Latches 2m - Black (81279) form OCUK?

is there really going to be much difference?

KiiYzOo · 20 Aug 2014 at 09:53

If I'm honest, I have no idea what the difference would be, but definitely get a dual link dvi cable or a displayport cable , as hemisphere stretches apparently

enigma27 · 20 Aug 2014 at 10:09

OK My mind is blown!!!

Cant get my head around Display port... can someone just answer me the below or shoot me now...

To do 2560x1080 resolution @ 60hz do I need a Display port cable that is V1.2 or would a V1.0 cable do it?

Just went and took a look at the cable in said highstreet store and the box had pretty much no info on it except that is does upto 1080p... but i dont know if thats 1920x1080 or 2560x1080...

enigma27 · 20 Aug 2014 at 10:17

Dont worry guys...

Just ordered a 1.2 cable from OCUK and done with it... at least i know it works.

Nexus18 · 20 Aug 2014 at 10:33

Don't use my custom RGB, contrast etc. settings, just use cinema preset mode and adjust brightness to your liking.

And no difference between display port or DVI cables

I don't have any photos but mrk has a PS3 and covered this in his review:

If you choose a preset do you still get the option to change the response timeing? if so whats the best setting you have found high or medium?

Also Like My LG TV's, does the Game preset turn of any input lag? i know it makes a nice defference on my TV when switching it to game mode and watching Movies or playing games.
