ASUS PA279Q - ghosting?

[Mixmaster5]

Hello (:

 

Due to the fact that I am a Filmmaker/Editor I have chosen the quite expensive

but nice Monitor ASUS PA279Q.

 

I have tried it today for the first time. When I started it, the first thing I saw

were some greenish/yellowish spots which were brighter than the other part

on the screen. In the manual it says that some variety of brightness is normal.

When the screen is coloured I can't see a difference, but in the black parts it is visable...

 

I have attached a picture (see below). It's not as strong as on the picture

but it quite visable.

 

Is this a factory mistake, does it need to be changed?

 

This is very important to me, because I have spend a lot of money and

I need the accuracy for coulours.

 

I really thank for anybodys help.

 

Cheers

That actually might be backlight bleed, which is common in most monitors. If you have the time, you could RMA the monitor just to be safe. But my first monitor had a dead pixel and some backlight bleed, so I RMA'd it. The monitor I got back had similar backlight bleed.

 

Of course, if the black is showing green/yellow... That's an abnormal issue and warrants an RMA

 

Ghosting is when you can see a pixel "fade-away" as you move it.

Hmm, I believe that's a backlight bleeding. I've seen those before (on other IPS monitor) but never saw a green/yellow tint bleeding. Most of them are white/led white (kinda bluish). I don't know if calibration will help those color problem but it won't reduce the bleeding for sure. Maybe you can contact Asus and see what they say about your monitor.
