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

overrated...that's not actually bad at all... infact that's very much the same as what my panel looked like when I got it.
If you took 5 minutes to unclip the bezel at the bottom left and right I guarantee you could clean that up so you wouldn't notice hardly any bleed at all.

I did that with mine and my screen is pretty much perfect now.
I have another issue but its not related to bleed.
 
Im well happy with my 95 so far... Whats the best way to check back light bleed please? I notice a bit in the bottom left corner when the screen is dark in a movie. Overall does not seem too bad unless I am checking it wrong.
 
I've just plugged in my new monitor. Unfortunately I notice bleed straight away. Made a black screen which highlighted it much more. Ran a film and the night time scene were heavily yellow in the corners. very disappointed
 
That's a shame tt. So glad I got a good one.

Which am not getting a chance to even use... Stupid work...

Still got two gtx 970's sitting opened too :(
 
Oh dear.... Can bleed just happen after a couple of days?

When I got it Tuesday I looked and it seemed absolutely fine. Turned off lights, put on black screen, and there was nothing really outside of normal IPS glow.

Just now, fired up alien isolation and noticed the bleed, mostly in bottom left but also bottom right and top left.

Put dead pixel tester on a black screen and sure enough, plenty of bleed that I am positive just wasn't there before!

This morning it didn't look so bad again... Maybe I was tired... Maybe it shows up when monitor warmed up?

Will have to keep an eye on it this weekend.
 
When I had my 29" LG 21:9 I always thought that the bleed / glow was worse, per se, on that aspect ratio of monitor as the left and right corners were not perpendicular to person sat in front, as much as a 16:9.
I know that there are massive differences between monitors, and it can be very much a panel lottery, but overall IPS does not give me the impression of being suitable with the ultra wide aspect ratio when it comes to glow.

It took me three monitors, two being instantly returned, before I got an acceptable 27" 1440p panel after changing back from a 21:9 LG.

Tried easing it forward, but not tried pulling it off - didn't want to apply a lot of pressure and break something.

You just put a credit card between the bezel and the screen in the each corner in turn and lever it out - I moved mine out about 1mm or so and the bleed went away. Its not held in overly tight - so you can probably use fingernails too - just nothing metal.

It's not suitable, but we're only going to properly resolve this with the switch to OLED. If anyone has ever seen a proper OLED screen like a Sony PVM/BVM you'll wonder how we ever put up with crap like IPS glow or VA gamma shift. We got a couple of new Eizo CG 27's at work the other day and I forgot how bad the glow is even on that size screen. If the extra work space wasn't useful I'd have just stuck with the 24". I imagine the curved versions must alleviate the problem a little but from mrk's posts you then introduce distortion which may not be suitable for whatever you're working on. That's before you consider there's a genuine struggle to get any sort of panel uniformity on something that large.
 
But how long before OLED becomes affordable and mainstream? Years I suspect. We'll see a whole load of higher refresh IPS screens before that happens, which is good but still won't solve the bleed issues. I've never quite understood how it's such a variable problem and how some panels can be appallingly bad (yet still leave the factory), and others are near perfect.

Quite simply there's too much wiggle room in the production method to screw it up. Making a good panel with no dead pixels is only half the battle, you've then got to put it together with the backlight and other driving electronics to create a uniform screen. Too many things to go wrong and too many elementary problems with the technology in the first place.
