Hi

Having a problem with my new monitor I got today. There is a small gap at bottom and the top of the screen which seems to reflect the taskbar.

I have included an image of the problem
Thanks for any advice

Come on man!

*facepalm*

It's the glossy edges of the bezel reflecting the screen.

Isn't it just a reflection on the bezel?

dek100 · 14 Aug 2012 at 20:48

sure about that?
My other monitor is glossier and I dont get this at all on that one?

Guesing you use your computer with low ambient lighting (each to their own and all but personally I find that increases eye strain) but it also brings out how reflective the bezel is with a glossy finish.

I'd like to thank the OP for having a sense of humour, too many people these days would get defensive over this.

dek100 · 16 Aug 2012 at 19:56

Thanks Sareth.

When the guys on here told me it was the reflection from the bezel and I looked and realised it was, I was laughing at myself for ages, I couldn't believe how dumb I had been,lol.

You've got to be able to laugh at yourself sometimes,lol
Cheers folks.
