LG to Introduce 34-inch IPS 21:9 UltraWide (Model UM95) monitor

Having never used an IPS screen before can you show what the repaired model looks like on a colour other than black. Is IPS glow noticeable then or only when fully black?
 
Matson DPD seem to have mixed bag of drivers it seems!

New screen looks great to me, Heinz did well!

Nice little calibration unit also, could do with one of them for mine so I don't have to take the i1 Display Pro out to Florida ;)

For £30, I think it's a bit of a bargain, providing you only use it on LG screens with the LG software :p

It's only noticeable really on dark scenes of movies or games or on screens where there is a lot of black around the edges. By how much you notice it depends on how much bleed there is. can't really show it on other screens as you don't notice it.


Also, video of the LG calibrator:



Also I notice the UM94 product page is up: http://www.lg.com/us/commercial/lcd-computer-monitors/lg-34UM94-P

Seems it has DVI but fewer other inputs. Lame :p

The spec sheet lists Thunderbolt and basically the same ports as the 34UM95 from what I can see. Which begs the question... What exactly is the difference? Going purely by LG's websites it seems this is the North American version of the UM95, possibly.

The 360 degree view is for the 34UM64, mrk.

I actually thought the before image was a ted more yellow than the after one. Although looking at the results, the LG does look like a bargain indeed!
I'll be picking one up after I get my new phone so.

Can't go wrong with the low price of it.
 
Yeah for the price it's the best possible way to get decent colours. Having checked back and forth a few times now that it's night I can see the i1 Display pro result is more "right" but ever so slightly. The LG calibrator calibrates to 6500k with an ever so slight blue bias in the grey tones whereas the i1 is more natural 6500k. There's maybe 1% deviation in it which isn't much tbh and still much better than adjusting by vision alone :p
 
I take it you just ran it through an auto setting and that's what took 6 minutes? Sounds ver reasonable.

My issue is all these rainforrest resellers are trying to fleece me on shipping! Some won't ship to Ireland, and others was £25-28 for standard shipping. :eek:
 
Auto setting? That's the manual setting in True Color Finder! The Auto setting is no different as it still requires manual input of the core targets:

Set to "User" on the left it simply unlocks the greyed out sliders at the bottom which you never should change for Windows systems anyway unless you have a specific use.

The Xrite software can calibrate in around 2 minutes on default settings but that's with the smaller patch palette. Select the wider palette and it takes several minutes so the LG software is up to scratch with the competition I guess.
 
The only thing I don't like about it is that unlike the Xrite or Lacie software I used to use on my Dells, the LG software has no reporting features or post calibration "checking" measurements so you can't track how much a panel shifts over the months before doing a calibration again. You simply get a Before/After option after each calibration.

It's simple and it works but people like me like having many options to play with!
