Ultrawide : Uneven Colors

[SlowMixit]

Picture says it all, specially bottom edge (green, purple, green, purlpe etc..) of the display, also going from left to right the image changes from blueish to purplish to reddish. If you can't see then your monitor requires recalibration.

The seller of monitor says he cant see any color changes in the image.

 

Can you see it?

i do't know much about monitors but the guys that do will need to know the monitors model number at the very least. You do't even give us a brand to go off of, come on man! We cant read your mind. It could just be a known problem with the monitor but with out a Model Number how are we to know?

[SlowMixit]

I didnt tell the monitor model and manufacturer due i wanted to know if you can see what i can see in the picture, alot of color shifts to green, purple and red.

Anyway it's AOC Q2963Pm

 

I'm shure if someone from LMG would check the image they would see aot of color shifts since their monitors are properly calibrated.

[tekgeek1205]

Yeah i see it just fine on TN, IPS, and LED LCD. the IPS is calibrated all kinds of funky to help me see my aiming rectical in Star citizen. I'm Red/Green color blind. So everyone should see the rainbow. Unless they have you problem, then they might think it looks normal

That's shit Is terrible. No bueno on my book.

Have you seen the monitor in person......it could be a camera thing. Refraction of light. IDK what im talking about. Im just guessing.

[SlowMixit]

The monitor is front of me right now, and soon as anything in white/grey range come to monitor i see the spots insanely clearly.

I can go to photoshop and crank up the saturation for people to see what i see.

 

Edit : Cranked up the saturation so far that it shows how uniform the panel color's are, this is not the way i see the image but should give some hint where to look for when watching the original picture i attached to first post.

 

And its not any form of color blindness since i took Color Blindness Test and result was Normal Color Vision.

Getting perfect color uniformity with blank single color screen is not possible, especially on ultrawide, and those kind of images are always looking bad. Or at least I never saw monitor that looks good on blank white screen, and I had everything, from $100 to $1200 price range.

 

 But your monitor looks exceptionally bad indeed. It looks like backlight leakage. Can you post photo of dark screen?

 

[tekgeek1205]

look for a LCD Conditioning tool in you monitors menus. My cheep Dell U2212HM has one....ive never had to use it tho

 

worth a try

[SlowMixit]

@Krych Shure i can. It for shure is not backlight bleed, and it's not ips glow, ips glow is different color (yellow/white), there is minor ips glow in left bottom corner, but no noticeable backlight bleed, it must be bad panel that is causing the color issues.

@tekgeek1205 there is no LCD Conditioning tool in my AOC

 

Dot in middle is point for camera to focus into.

[tekgeek1205]

 worth a try.....all it did was cycle through CMYK any way.

[tekgeek1205]

oh and that dot in the center looks like a dead pixel. I may be wrong though. last dead pixel I had was on a TN panel and it was yellow, so a bit different. I dont know what an IPS dead pixel looks like

[tekgeek1205]

maybe the backlight burnt through the IPS

[SlowMixit]

@tekgeek1205 It's focusing point for my old Canon EOS 400D as it uses optics for focus.

I dont think backlight can "burn" trough the panel. Backlight can for shure get old and fail slowly, and that would cause brightness issues.

Thats a pity, because you got really small amount of backlight bleed for ultrawide panel, you probably got very lucky with this. May not happen again.

 

I guess you need to ask yourself whether this issue is affecting your daily usage or not. If yes - return, if not - keep it.

[SlowMixit]

It is heavely affecting dayly usage, i pretty much cannot put anything in gray/white range to the monitor. Everything else is good.

Uniformity check with my Spyder5 confirms it, its green on left and then bit reddish on right and bottom it ranges from blue, purple and green.

 

I might return it to the private seller, it was trade via postal service so im not shure if i will go trough with the trade and send the monitor back to him instead.

Thats if AOC wont accept this monitor to warranty replacement, this uniformity is worse than TN panels have.
