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

The pictures were taken from 7-8ft away. The IPS glow only seems to manifest when I'm ~3ft and closer, so I'm hopefully not confusing bleed and glow with those pictures.

According to the exif, the photos are ISO800 at 1/8th sec. I tried messing around with the manual settings to get a decent length of exposure and such, but ended up with things that looked like this at 10 brightness:

Thanks for the feedback. Nice to know it's fairly normal, even if I'd hope they'd be able to entirely eliminate it on something at this price point.
 
Definitely looks like glow rather than bleed to me but I'd be interested to hear others thoughts.
On current IPS screens the 'glow' is the one drawback of the tech. Not a lot you can do about it.

My best advice would be to test out some dark games, maybe some films, and if you don't notice any issues in actual use - STOP TESTING AND LOOKING FOR IT - and enjoy your screen :-)
 
Yup I be more than happy with that! :) Just looks like IPS glow to me.


BTW I tried viewing my screen from 6-7 feet last night and noticed the bleed far more vimes!

Wouldn't that suggest that it is indeed bleed rather than glow...? Mine significantly improves when I move further way to the point where I am looking directly at the screen (almost perpendicular to the whole screen), rather than being up close which merely enhances the issue at the corners.

Mine is not perfect when at six or seven feet away, some evidence of bleed, but to create those conditions for it to be noticeable, and a problem, is not typical of my expected use.

Have you decided what you are doing yet...?
 
Yup it is indeed bleed, I thought you said that you had bleed and that yours improved when you moved further back, but forgot you where referring to the standard IPS glow.

Not yet, I have contacted Bailey enquiring about the dell 29" monitor. However, if thareaperguy reports back light bleed on his as well, I am just getting a refund and going for the dell as chances are I would just get another bad one :(
 
Why Nexus do the bezels on the 29" vary enough to the point Dell is the only decent choice? Asus MX299q i know of the bezel problem but AOC NEC DELL LG also offer the same panel. I think i am going to dip my toes in and finally order a second one today.


Really cannot make up my mind, They must hate me and my DSR lol. The Dell has the highest quality it seems and calibration is a bonus but the input lag on that is like 16ms over the others :s

So are these monitors suitable to be viewed from a distance? I'm contemplating using it it as a TV too, so I can watch TV on it from about 11ft away.

Also, are there any programs for quickly and easily arranging multiple windows on the screen at precise positions?

I'm currently using a triple 27" 1440x2560 monitor setup and I regularly use the Windows Key + Arrows to snap program windows to any of the 6 half monitor positions across the 3 screens.

As this is just one monitor it would be nice to be able to quickly and accurately snap windows to a 1/3 or quarter of the screen, but I'm guessing I'd need to use a 3rd party program for windows to do that? Anyone had experience with this?
 
Yup the bezel stuff is the same for them all and they all use the same panel, although from my understanding there is more to back light bleed than just the "casing" used, there are a few complaints about back light bleed on the dell as well.

Reason I am am not considering asus is because of their awful RMA and AOC build quality seems to be rather cheap (the top bezel part peels away and overall just doesn't seem as good build quality as the others plus the stand looks crap imo)

Main reason I am considering the dell is just for their swap on the door policy and zero dead pixel guarantee + an extra year of warranty is nice.

And yup, the dell does very badly in reviews for input lag, however, LG solved that issue with the second revision a month later on their monitors so I presume that dell would be using the new panels as well, have asked Bailey for the manufacturing date of their current ones in stock:

.....remember that is for bright pixel defects and not black or dark pixels which are stuck etc.
 
Just had a look at dell's site, it seems like they have changed their policy on that! :(

Bright = 1 or more
Dark = 6 or more

Just been reading on LG's site as well:

For LCD Monitor panel up to 2 non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. This does not affect the performance of the product(s) or does not constitute as a product defect.

The reason that I mentioned that is that a friend of mine had one, or maybe two together, stuck black pixels on his Dell monitor that he often thought were a full stop or something, when viewing a document. He could not get it changed. Not sure of the final outcome.
Always best to check the detail.

Are you sure the firmware/update solved it? LG may of been firmware but Dell im not sure i thought it was excessive settings used by Dell that get turned off in game mode. But there is still 16ms reported in game where the AOC is rated 0 alongwith all the other brands.


Google nine 21:9 review for the 9 monitor shootout and see so while AOC might suck for quality which i agree ive already used DSR on one the only other i come to is Asus which again scored 0ms. But Asus is £399 Dell £330 AOC £287.


Let me know what Bailey says on thier stock date though.
 
Not 100% sure rofflay.

Just had a look at the reviews/comparison and the LG 29EA93 and dell both score the same for input lag, also that was written on Feb this year. Anandtech review's of the newer revision was written on Feb 2013 :/

I had googled around about the dell and according to hardforum, the dell went out of stock on newegg etc. around the time of the new revision by LG so people have assumed that the delay was because of dell updating the monitors with the newer panels.

Will do :)

Notice both LG revisions up there and Dell still higher. Dell use a lot of processing i guess the only thing thats holding me back on the Asus now is can i adjust sharpness. I already know they lack overdrive or trace free to maximum and wont let you adjust it but that does not bother me as it improves when you overclock the panel to 75hz naturally.


The problem with this Asus is just the color aint as good as the dell though and calibration will be harder. Aandtech said most of the errors only go with 200cmd2 calibration and i would need something to give me a foothold of what brightness and contrast settings equal 200cmd. Another problem that put me off is hardware luxx said it had a calibrated contrast of only 273:1 where as every other review stats around 1100:1 almost which is the best IPS they reviewed.

The dell 29" ultrawide monitor isn't on that graph :confused:

I was referring to this one:

Don't know if those other LG monitors are using the same panel as the 29ea93....


I would be surprised if you couldn't adjust the sharpness with the ASUS monitor!


I have no clue about calibration stuff :o So mrk will have to help you with that :p

I think Asus are kind enough ill find out in another few hours of googling i think my head is going to explode soon! But yes no U2913 on that graph but you get the idea. All the other graphs confirm the same that Dell has to be in GAME mode to get that 16ms and even then other panels have like under 5ms tops or better yet 0ms.


Im convinced now the Asus is the one...

I wish things regarding these monitors were a little more clear, doesn't help when LG has like 3+ 29" monitors that are all more or less the same except the stand, OSD stuff etc. :(

Played some bf 3/4 and hardline last night and tbh, I think this monitor is more responsive than my dell u2311h.

I think I will just be stuck in a RMA/DSR loop until I get a good 29UM65 :p :(
