Hi!

So I purchased a LG GN850 and I am seeing the following weirdness, its a blue shadow / light which I think is from the back light? my room has lights on. I just wanted some extra opinions on this before returning.

I play a fair amount of minecraft , and although its not as noticeable outside, when I am mining I see that a lot.

Is this normal for an IPS panel? would you return it?

Thanks in advance! :)
 
Looks like IPS glow/backlight bleed which is normal for IPS monitors.

I wouldn't expect to see it in daylight though - only in a dark room with lights off. Consequently, I'd look at returning.
 
Thanks for the confirmation, yeah i thought it was somewhat normal.. at dark, this is why i turned on lights for the photo. I will look to return i think.
I think the LG is one of the best, unless anyone has any alternative views?

Any of the LG based QHD 144Hz IPS panels will be equal, and differences mostly down to software, free sync implementation and panel variation :-)
 
Cool thanks, i have been reading a lot and have tried many screens. 32" and VA.. and 27" IPS seems to be the best.
Ideally i don't want to see that blueish haze/glow. (I did not have that on my 10 year old Dell 27" IPS panel at all...)

Is my expectation of that unrealistic do you think? and if im not happy do you know if OC will exchange?
thanks

I don't think OCUK consider backlight bleed to a fault, only a QC issue.

I would personally deem it unacceptable if it's visible in a well lit room, but it's not up to me :-(

It's worth getting in touch with them but it'll take a while due to all the stock issues on GPUs/CPUs etc


You've got nothing to lose by trying :-)
 
The amount of bleed varies from one monitor to the next but based on your photo I would say that's enough bleed to warrant a replacement.
