That's fine but could you do it straight on... Easier to see that way how uniform it is.

Also PCM...if your read this can you have a look at that Picture I posted on the last page showing the screen Iniformity with the Colour temp and Luminance levels. Can you see the red tint that im describing and would you say I should return it for another one?

best I can do with my nexus 5 :D
 
am I going crazy or can I see a slight red tint on the sides on yours too lol. The middle looks much whiter to me and the sides a slight red tint to them.
 
I've been experiencing a strange issue with mine whereby it keeps going to sleep/standby after several minutes on inactivity. On waking from sleep I get a bing from the PC as though you'd connected a new hardware device. Everything comes back OK but it loses the size/positioning of all my apps windows so I need to resize them. I've turned off auto poweroff on the monitor and set the sleep /turn off display timers on the PC to 2 hours but it's going off long before that.

I'm guessing this is a displayport issue? Anyone experiencing the same problem and found a fix for it?
 
@silvagti - disconnect the monitor from the PC, power off and unplug and wait 30 secs or so. Try powering it up (again disconnected from PC) and see if it exhibits the same behavior. If it works fine and doesn't power off (unlikely) then Windows is clearly the culprit. I had a monitor that did that - worth a shot.

@Matson - your values are helping me get closer to where I want to be, so thanks. Strange however that those same values produce an almost imperceptible green hue to the sides. Nothing to worry about and again I think I'll have to grab a calibrator from somewhere (might phone up some design/photography studios to hire one with a deposit, but I've a funny feeling I'd be better off buying one). To be honest though I think most people could do it by eye and be happy after a ****onne of fiddling :)

Dunno if any of you have seen these test results. There's no review to go with it, but this page was updated sometime today (I may be wrong). Seems like a WIP.

Only if I off my monitor need resize apps will test later if it sleep itself
 
@SaL<XXX Don't get me wrong the monitor comes back on OK without issue (other than window positioning). I'm just wondering what's causing it to happen as I can't see any power savings settings on the PC or monior which are causing it to go off.

Also I had a play with Matson's colour profile but I thought the colours looked slighltly off on mine so I've left the balance set to 50 for red,green and blue. Looks OK to my eye.
 
I was hoping to that you could isolate the monitor going to sleep/standby after several minutes on inactivity problem. Maybe try resetting the power management profiles and starting from scratch? - I can't honestly see how the monitor would want to go all loose cannon on you like that on it's own; try doing a reset on the monitor anyway to be sure. GL :)

BTW - I can't find any meaningful discussion of this monitor anywhere else on the web bar here.

edit: check sleep /hibernation too.

Im glad the settings have helped a little. There going to be different for everyone but hopefully it helps. Its funny though that you mention green hue to the sides. I see a red hue on mine so because you can see a green hue on the sides of yours im going to guess maybe all these panels may have that to some extent on the sides...If your monitor was calibrated properly using a calibrator I reckon that green hue would infact be red like it is on mine.

Red = 44
Green = 33
Blue = 35
Contrast 75
Brightness = anything you want.

Try those and let me know if there any better..I have my calibrated as good as it possibly can be but the red tint at the sides is something you cant lose. In your case its a green tint instead since using my settings your colours wont be the exact same. I have kind of feeling if I got another one of these id see the same tint at the sides.
 
Out of the box, reds were burning my retinas out even after dialing back the B/C. Those values you give show an upping of red values with green being drawn down a bit more than blue and it's made made my display better no doubt. It would seem there's a 'reasonably' fair a mount of variation in these panels, but nothing that can't be fixed with tweaking. This isn't conclusive, but is this normal with most other monitors?

Edit: was playing DayZ earlier on this thing. Astonishing - the 21:9 format really sucks you in. Us apes look left and right mostly for danger and food (completely missing the up/down dangers of snakes on the branches above us, or the whoopee cushions placed cunningly on the sofas below); but for situational awareness, the width and scope of this format can't be beat. Triple monitor setups cost potentially far less, but I'll take one 3440x1440 over that any day of the week. I really think these monitors will go mainstream sometime next year: they are that good..

And the curve - I no longer notice it's there.. it just does it's thing and well.

You have turned the off timer off haven't you?

@eggcup - er no, I was addressing silvagti's concerns there mate:)

Yeah, 21:9 really is a game changer and I can see it becoming standard on monitors. The difference it makes to productivity and gaming is fantastic. I'd never go back to 16:9.

I've had 120hz monitors and have gone back to 60hz to get better quality/higher res and haven't missed it. Likewise I've tried 3dvision and that was nothing more than a fad. Ultrawide really is the first monitor innovation I've thought was something genuinely special since I first used a dual monitor setup

I actually barely noticed the curve even when I started using the monitor. It's very subtle. Still not sure whether it actually makes a difference or is purely cosmetic!

My monitor also moves the windows around when its come back out of standby. Not had time to faff around and find out why yet. Probably something to do with it turning itself off completely when it goes into power save.
 
It would be good if anyone else with this monitor could take a picture with a completely white background. I can see a red tint on the above ones so I'm wondering if it's more a thing with this model in general.
