LG to Introduce 34-inch IPS 21:9 UltraWide (Model UM95) monitor
- Thread starter whyscotty
- Start date
I think whichever tech neglected to wipe his or her handmarks off the panel was the one that didn't QC check it before it left the service centre. They need to be fired.. People make mistakes but not QC testing a monitor and leaving hand marks on a panel that got there with no marks is grounds for firing in my book.
I've started the RMA process with the retailer now. Won't ship it off until next week once I've had the new screen set up and running.
29EB93 going on MM shortly

I would say mrk's is now the same as mine, except I'm a bit of bleed in the top right.
I reckon if I sent mine back it would come back worse.
What monitors have you guys bought where there has been no bleed on an LED screen, I've personally always had BLB issues with LED and the monitors I've had with no issues at all have been regular LCD screens like the HP LP2475w.
I'm guessing the main issue is whether a company should be hand checking their products in the test stage, however I've had plenty of Dell high-end screens with BLB issues so I'm not sure a Dell offering would fix the issue?

The 29EB93 I have has no obvious bleed 
It has IPS glow but that's standard for an IPS screen. There is no bleed though like what has been posted above!
Edit*
It's a real shame, the other corners are perfect, if the bottom left was like that too then I'd have been over the moon! Let's hope it comes back right

i guess for me it comes down to the price...Your paying £800 for what you expect to be a quality product.
From reviews it seems to be average apart from the size and aspect ratio and resolution. It also gets good marks for colour but contrast, black level and so on are average at best.
With the dell and aoc versions using the same panel the only differences are really going to be price and features so id feel much better spending £500 on the AOC version than £800 on the LG one. I think £500 would be a great price if it really does come out at that price as i could cope with a little bleed at that price but at £800 not so much.

LG are saying that a certain about of back light bleed is OK and normal on the Super Wide screen monitors ...
In a workshop/office environment you/they wont see any back light bleed.
My 3rd one the back light bleed is in the same place.
I really think it a waste of time returning them of LG at the moment, having spoken to LG technical advice, they are not aware of any technical issues or would not say... regarding these screen.

^Where have you read average reports on black level and contrast? They're both really excellent and well in line with what LG spec. As mentioned already it's a superb product that performs well and delivers accurate calibrated colours. Just a shame about the support and QC issues so far.
The AOC version is also now set to be around £700 not £500!

The bleed is generally caused by poor construction or sandwiching together of various components within the monitor, not just the panel itself. The panel itself could be perfect when it has left the factory and sits on its own, but once housed in the monitor and everything is pressed together can develop issues. It is for this reason that the AOC may not suffer from the same issues, or as frequently from the same issues, as the LG. But we'll have to wait and see.
Im mostly just going from what iv read in reviews...as i haven't of course tested one of these in person.
I would imagine though from a picture quality point of view this will be leagues ahead of my BenQ TN panel that im running at the moment.
The only downside is that im so used to 144hz now but i can get over that for the size and the aspect ratio as i used to run 60hz before that and i coped with that fine.
Are you sure the AOC is going to be £700 now? i thought the RRP was quoted to be £499 or has there been some new info with a different price?
Would you call this ANSI contrast ratio a good result from an IPS panel? Of Course it varies from panel to panel but i can only go by the reviews i read at the moment... What did you measure your ANSI contrast ratio at mrk?
Also would you recommend a iDisplay Pro for calibrating this?
Why did tom's calibrate to a luminance of 200cd/m2? That's far far too bright and really not "normal" usage brightness. Besides, the actual measured contrast ratio of the 34UM95-P is closer to 900. My own measurement post calibration was 859 even and that's at 80cd/m2 (brightness @ 11 LUT controlled).
I use an i1Display pro. Spyder probes do report inaccurate contrast ratios, I don't know what tom's guide used for the above.
The latest info posted in the AOC thread showed £700 for us.

I think I saw on reddit someone commented to say their July version had backlight bleed issues and they were having a hard time getting support from LG state side :S
Seems there are still the few that have issues even later models.

I guess its just all down to luck... Id be ordering from OCUK so it should be easy enough to send back and replace it if i have to. Its just the hassle of it.
Hopefully id end up lucky and have one with minimal bleed.
Does this come with a display port cable aswell?

Yeah it comes with a 1 metre DisplayPort cable.
Okay check this out, how hard could it have been for the LG tech to just loosen the screws on the housing internals a bit to remove this bleed, look at the below gif, I simply pressed the lower bezel in to get bleed coming through. Notice the right side at the end, the tightness of the screws must be perfect there... How easy is it to open these monitors up to DIY adjust the screws holding the panel to the casing? When the new monitor comes this week I'm tempted to try loosening the left lower side myself in an effort to do what LG neglected to do during QC!
If it really is as simple as adjusting the screws holding the panel on then **** it I'd rather do it myself.

I would have expected some kind of rubberized pressure seal for a complete blackout in those areas with very firm screws. But i guess that would bump up the cost? Even some kind of gel mould poured in no?
I almost spat out my drink at the flash from the bottom right corner when you pressed it a huge amount of light came through!!

Robbie mate if that is all that is causing the issues I would go ahead and try it myself, especially since you have another one on the way.
Remember your first screen was fine for 2-3 weeks and then you got some bleed, had you moved it about or something that could have caused the bezel to put pressure on the display and get stuck like that? Picking it up at the bottom and then it got stuck in a squeezed in position.
Or maybe after a few weeks of heating and cooling the plastic case warped a tiny amount but enough to push on the display? It is a pretty long bit of plastic due to the width of the screen.
Good luck with it!

Actually thinking about it... It could have started to show bleed after a few weeks from heating/cooling and as I've been using a VESA arm so the panel weight distribution would be different. Since the thermal properties should more or less be well settled in now I imagine simply adjusting the lower left corner screws should fix it completely.
I'll know soon enough once I get the new screen on the arm though if it was indeed that. It could also have been the panel settling in with daily use for a couple of weeks I guess.
Maybe it has a mould in there already and it's simply a case of the screws being too tightly done up, it must be the screws being too tight as you can see from my gif that even a gentle press results in bleed coming through.
