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

Yeah its not the best place at the moment but theres no where else to put them. the wall is too thin for mounting them on shelves so I just have to wait till I get a better desk.Iv spaced them abit further apart by just putting a stool next to my desk at the moment lol its not ideal but it will do for now.

I think he is more concerned that they are physically blocking part of the screen. ;)

lol yes I believe its only crt that get effected by that. Im more concerned that I have to buy a bigger desk but oh well.
LG coming to collect my monitor for repair tomorrow so hopefully is turns out as good as mrk's monitor did and the bleed gets fixed.
 
I will definitely be waiting up for the Dell version too. What I will do is the money made from selling the 2nd 34UM95 I will put that aside and buy the Dell providing it meets expectations for spec and quality and then once in my hands sell the LG to recoup the extra cost of the Dell.

After the last 2 months+ I want to know that I can get a door to door swap if my next monitor acquires a fault down the line.
 
What is the reason for selling the LG though and getting the dell? for a start it wont have the built in LUT will it? and secondly its exactly the same panel and its most likely to have worse bleed issues compared to your repaired LG and new LG.
I think you have a swapping fetish :D
Or did I read that wrong as your going to keep one LG and get the dell also?
 
1: As mentioned above, Dell have the door to door swap, LG do not. Their support is far better.

2: It might be the same panel, it "should" have the LUT but nobody knows yet for sure and the Dell bezel will no doubt be better than the one on the LG which is now confirmed to be the cause of all the bleed issues and not the panel itself (again, see the posts earlier in the thread). This is a design flaw on LG's part.

3: If the Dell has a hardware LUT and is similar in other areas spec wise then I will sell both LGs and get the Dell purely on the basis of the better customer support. The LG will always look more stylish because of the invisible bezel design but that design has one big downfall which has been discussed above. I don't think the Dell will have this design flaw.
 
So when I get mine back from LG and if its not fixed to my satisfaction when options would I have? It would then be past the 14 day return policy with overclockers so im curious what my options would be.
 
So the original monitor is on its way back to LG Germany and this evening I had an email from an interested buyer... :o

They're happy to wait the ~4 weeks it will take to come back as they too are waiting for some bills to clear it seems and need to convince the Mrs (:eek:). Works out well for me as well actually as I have various things to do with work and whatnot so won't have enough free time to drive it to him until then anyway.

Looks like it is as good as sold at £650 :p
 
so LG wont even repair mine because they think its so bad and sent me a BER letter so I can get a refund or replacement from OCUK lol. feels like im going round in circles with this monitor.
 
Just got my LG calibrator and bloody hell does it make a difference. I spent about an hour before trying to get it all good by eye.

This took a few minutes and clicking before and after was night and day. Especially when you've changed the brightness to 90cd/m as opposed to just the OSD setting of 35%. Going to take a while to get use to it.

I ended up two Calibration runs, the first gave me a brightness deviance of 1.8%, Colour temp of 0.4%, and Gama of 0.45%.

The second run gave me this.

Very strange is that I was given the option to save a colour Profile .icc, although I also seem to have hardware calibration that I can turn off and on in the OSD, and the OSD has been locked.
 
I think the icc profile is simply a failsafe backup. If you disable it in Windows it makes zero difference. I suppose if for whatever reason the monitor LUT doesn't work and True Color Finder detects this it will simply load the icc profile instead.

Seems so, just played around with it and it seems to be the case.
I'm actually very impressed by the bang for buck the LG calibrator offers.
Sure it's limited to only LG displays, but I'll happily buy from them again if their future 21:9 UHD monitor is of the same calibre.
 
Well im sending my second one back to OCUK and there going to send me a third replacement. This seems to be the best and worst monitor iv ever owned lol.
Its a shame theres no other choices at the moment without waiting for the AOC and Dell versions which isn't an option as I have no other monitor now.
