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

[james.miller]

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

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 So mrk will have to help you with that

check the service menu, it'll tell you what panel is used. switch it on with menu held, let go when you see a picture and press menu again. if it's an LM290WW1 then its the same as the 29ea93 and probably the 29ea73 as well.

Regarding input lag. As a dell 29 user as you may know, I can honestly not see it's any problem whatsoever. And I can't tell any difference in lag between standard and game mode either.

Maybe I'm just not sensitive to this particular aspect, but I'd be surprised as I'm a right picky ****er about everything else

I also used an Eizo foris FG2421 for a week as mentioned earlier, and couldn't tell a difference between that and the Dell for input lag. Just sayin'.

That doesn't work with the 29um65, holding down on the menu doesn't bring any picture up, just turns the monitor of

When did you buy the dell monitor?

Lads someone answer me this ive been looking at these 29 inch screens now all day and ive pretty much digested every bit of information out there on them. And i think i came upon something. But i think i need someone to explain if i am possible correct and another kind soul with a DELL u2913 to tell me if he can adjust both brightness and contrast in his preset calibrated SRGB mode.


Dell use contrast of 75 on thier monitor where as everyone else is set to 50 and Dell top out in max and min brightness and luminence on thier panel. One review said it had the best blacks out of all the panels available and then i noticed warnings about white crush above 50 contrast on the AOC. I thought this strange.... And then noticed that someone mentioned white point correction with RGB sliders and the people using contrasts of 50 like AOC used lower RGB too like 49,50,49. Dell on the other hand used a full 75 contrast and thier RGB are 100,99,100 etc.


Is that possible? Did Dell just use a trick here i could potentially do on the AOC and save some bucks? Because AOC has less input lag, Control over overdrive of which Dell has none and it is cheaper too. But it also has the lowest luminance of the panels. BUT all the reviews state calibrated contrast ratios from 1100:1 roughly and Dell do not really have a lead over AOC here so why the hell are contrast and RGB different and can it make it look better if done right?


Expert in calibration is needed where is PCM2?

Got an LG 29EA93-P - purchased about 3 months ago.

How can I tell which revision it is - i.e. 1.09 or 1.25?

Also its Maximum reported refresh rate in AMD Catlyst control centre is 75Hz yet most games only go 60Hz max - how can I change this please? - surely I don't need to overclock it seeing as the gfx driver can see its capable of 75hz?

thanks.

75hz at a lower resolution is what it's capable of.

You'd need to overclock it to run 75HZ 2560x1080.
I've went for 72HZ on my 2560x1080 screen.

Any problems with back light bleed?

Not too sure about LG monitors (haven't looked at mine yet) but with dell, the revision number was on the back somewhere.

So how do I go about overclocking it on an AMD 290 pls?

none what so ever bud - I'm really fussy about backlight bleed so pleased I havn't got any on this unit. I do however get ever so slight IPS glow in the bottom left - I can tell its glow as it goes away when I move my head towards the left of the screen.

Overall pretty pleased with it, but coming from a 1440p catleap the loss of vertical res does feel like I'm restricted.

Overclocking 60Hz monitors can result in frame skipping, which makes it actually 60Hz anyway but results in a poor experience.

but but - the LG EA93 isn't a 60Hz monitor - manufacturer specs are 75Hz.....

No, that is the maximum refresh rate officially supported at certain resolutions lower than native. It is a 60Hz monitor at its native resolution.

The contrast levels and colour channels used by manufacturers are not equivalent. Sometimes '100' for R, G, B is used and sometimes '50' is used for example. 50, 75 and even 100 contrast are used by various monitors of the same panel. You can't compare absolute numbers across the models of different manufacturers unfortunately, even if the same panel is being used. For IPS panels like this contrast is generally set optimally and shouldn't be touched (whether it is '75', '50' or something else doesn't matter). Colour channels need to be adjusted as per recommendations for an individual monitor, but even then there is variation between individual units of the same model. If you have a monitor with '50' as the default for RGB and try to set these all to '100' you usually end up with an oversaturated mess which is obviously wrong by eye.

That's false advertising that is - the place I bought it from bigged up the fact it was 75Hz, and its one of the reasons I chose it over cheaper models - grrr (The other reason being PIP).

Good to hear!

Hopefully going to get my RMA sorted on Monday. I actually think my one has gotten worse for bleed over the weekend, able to notice it quite easily during bright conditions now

I came from a 23" 16.9 1080P monitor so the vertical height is the exact same for me, I have my task bar on the right side of the screen, which frees up a wee bit of room for the browser etc.

mrk, I stumbled over your review on Tech Amok

Wrong window fail, and no delete function to hide my embarrassment

mrk, I stumbled over your review on Tech Amok

Never heard of that site before! I have a user article on Petapixel about this too

Don't forget Neowin

Even though you have not mentioned its demise.....

 

[mrk]

Techamok did the mentioning of Neowin

Edit*

LG TV, Monitors, AV and IT Support OK it does say repair pending which means it is still being worked on and parts have been ordered. I cannot estimate a delivery date back to you, unfortunately

New parts, so sounds like they've ordered a new panel for my monitor? It's gone to the Milton Keynes repair centre too.

Strong early adopter fail .

If it gets sorted to my satisfaction then I don't see it as a fail, more of a hurdle and eventual experience for a few reasons:

1) See how LG handle imported monitors.
2) See their stance on what is acceptable and what isn't for backlight bleed.
3) See what their turnaround time is.
4) Try out the 29" and see what that's like while my 34" is being sorted!

It's a bit of faff but ultimately I've not had to spend a penny getting it sent away and their support people seem to be very easy to reach and deal with. The only way it could be bettered was if their technicians were consistent with their verdicts about backlight bleed as some guys above found the techs they had said their bleed was within tolerance... That and a door to door swapout like Dell.
