mach250 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 So I've had my first copy of this monitor for almost a year now and have loved it ever setting it up. I decided to get a second and throw them on a two arm stand but the second monitor is having a halo effect to text. It's most noticeable with white text on black background but you can see it in black on white too. It's like I need to run the windows font tool where you select the best looking square but when I use this it doesn't change the halo appearance. Never had to return a monitor so I was hoping that there are some troubleshooting options? Unplugged, restarted, reinstalled display drivers, played with advanced appearance settings.

cusideabelincoln Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I really can't tell the problem you are describing from my end. The text looks similar. I do notice a difference in contrast/brightness between the overall pictures you posted and there is obvious compression with the jpg format, but I don't see any other issues. Perhaps try uploading a higher res image, and if your phone has the option to save it in PNG format instead of jpg. One thing to note is that even monitors of the same model will vary in quality, and to get them looking the same you'll have to use the OSD to adjust the settings.

Keyser_Soze Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 The good picture looks worse than the bad one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach250 Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 You can see an odd blue effect on the bad pictures. The black background lighting is just from the picture. Hurts my eyes on the bad one. Its more obvious in the smaller text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cusideabelincoln Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Ahhhhhh, I can see it now. I swear I didn't see any blue hue at all the first time. I'd go through the calibration process, Windows has a built-in one. Look up other users' settings, make sure everything is the same for both monitors.. Perhaps swap cables and video ports on the video card to make rule out that difference. But I think you will need to return the panel because it's a dud.

mach250 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 it ended up being caused by using HDMI cables instead of display port. ended up moving my 1080 over to my office pc to test since I can't even get my HTPC to trigger power at all. Think the motherboard randomly died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
